I want to run python code on Ubuntu 14.04, but when I execute it, it gives me the following error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 2, in <module>
from tkinter import *
ImportError: No module named tkinter

Try writing the following in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install python-tk
Don't forget to actually import Tkinter module at the beginning of your program:
import Tkinter
If you're using Python 3
then you must install as follows:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
Tkinter for Python 2
(python-tk
) is different from Python 3
's (python3-tk
).
To get this to work with pyenv
on Ubuntu 16.04, I had to:
$ sudo apt-get install python-tk python3-tk tk-dev
Then install the version of Python I wanted via pyenv
:
$ pyenv install 3.6.2
Then I could import tkinter just fine:
import tkinter
First, make sure you have Tkinter module installed.
sudo apt-get install python-tk
In python 2 the package name is Tkinter not tkinter.
from Tkinter import *

Install the package python-tk
like
sudo apt-get install python-tk
That is described (with apt-cache search python-tk
as)
Tkinter - Writing Tk applications with Python
In Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS:
Go to Software Center and remove "IDLE(using Python-2.7)".
Install "IDLE(using Python-3.4)".
Try again. This step worked for me.
