If you set in user-config.py: editor = '/usr/bin/vim' (or whatever), it should be OK even without tkinter.
GUI is a fallback to std editor.
Maybe the error message could be improved anyhow.

Oh, yes, I forgot this config. And the error message shows this...
@Mpaa Do you think that it's necessary to load some "rescue" editors, such as nano on linux or notepad.exe on windows ?

I did that.
Note that the same editor will be called e.g. by replace.py.
It is quite convenient to have one configured.
