No module named _tkinter with Python 3.11.x (Mac M2)

[fedeotaran]

Hi, I can't install python with tkinter correctly on MacOS 13.2.1 (M2).

I successfully installed the package with homebrew: brew install tcl-tk

No matter what I do whenever I install a version of Python 3.11.x it shows me the following error:

python-build 3.11.2 /Users/mitt/.asdf/installs/python/3.11.2

Installation commands I tried

asdf install python 3.11.2 asdf install python 3.11.2 --with-tcl-tk asdf install python 3.11.2 --with-tcltk-lib=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/tcl-tk/8.6.13_2/lib

asdf install python 3.11.2

I did it on my old mac and it works perfectly (MacBook Pro 2016).

Does anyone have a clue that I may be missing to install correctly on my Mac with M2?

I was able to install it with this command and using pkg-config! :D

PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-tcltk-includes='$(pkg-config tk --cflags)' --with-tcltk-libs='$(pkg-config tk --libs)'" asdf install python 3.11.2
