Running on server causes crash at import of configurator gui

[Muehli25]

I am running the application on a server. When running version 3.0.0 it does crash when starting.
Stacktrace:

File "/mnt/user/opensoftware/impfbot/src/config_generator.py", line 2, in <module>
    import tkinter as tk
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/tkinter/__init__.py", line 37, in <module>
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk

An easy fix is by only import the config generator and thereby tkinter, when needed.

We must look into a better fix than #89

Proposal by @paulypeter:

Could you try wrapping the tk import in a try-except block in config-generator.py instead?
Does it a raise a ModuleNotFoundError or an ImportError?

try:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
except Exception:
...
