NSIS: can't import tinker

Question

I would like to build my program that uses matplotlib, which requires tkinter. The problem is that I can't include tkinter, as it is not on pyPi (and it has now wheels).

I use Pynsist to build an NSIS installer. Here is the cfg:

[Application]
name=SineWave
version=1.0
# How to launch the app - this calls the 'main' function from the 'myapp' package:
entry_point=main:main
icon=sinewave.ico

[Python]
version=3.6.5

[Include]
# Packages from PyPI that your application requires, one per line
# These must have wheels on PyPI:
pypi_wheels = numpy==1.16.1
    matplotlib==3.0.3
    pyparsing==2.4.0
    cycler==0.10.0
    six==1.11.0
    python-dateutil==2.8.0
    kiwisolver==1.0.1
    anaconda-project==0.8.2

If I run the builded exe it returns this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Novot\AppData\Local\SineWave\SineWave.launch.pyw", line 31, in <module>
    from main import main
  File "C:\Users\Novot\AppData\Local\SineWave\pkgs\main.py", line 2, in <module>
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  File "C:\Users\Novot\AppData\Local\SineWave\pkgs\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 2372, in <module>
    switch_backend(rcParams["backend"])
  File "C:\Users\Novot\AppData\Local\SineWave\pkgs\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 207, in switch_backend
    backend_mod = importlib.import_module(backend_name)
  File "importlib\__init__.py", line 126, in import_module
  File "C:\Users\Novot\AppData\Local\SineWave\pkgs\matplotlib\backends\backend_tkagg.py", line 1, in <module>
    from . import _backend_tk
  File "C:\Users\Novot\AppData\Local\SineWave\pkgs\matplotlib\backends\_backend_tk.py", line 5, in <module>
    import tkinter as Tk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

And also, is there a way to import all libraries that another one requires?

I found it in the documentation: Pynsist documentation

"Because Pynsist makes use of the “bundled” versions of Python the tkinter module isn’t included by default. If your application relies on tkinter for a GUI then you need to find the following assets..."
