Unable to Use Either Import Tkinter in Python 3. ModuleNotFoundError
Question:
Hi! I`m facing an issue with the Tkinter module in Python. Strangely, I\’m unable to import it using either import Tkinter or import tkinter in Python 3. The error message I receive is either ModuleNotFoundError: No module named \’Tkinter\’ or ModuleNotFoundError: No module named \’tkinter\’. What could be causing these errors, and what steps can I take to resolve this problem?
Answer:
To resolve this issue, you can try installing the Tkinter module using the appropriate package manager based on your operating system. For example:
- For Ubuntu or other Linux distributions using Apt, you can use the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
- If you’re using Fedora, the command would be:
sudo dnf install python3-tkinter
- Alternatively, you can specify a specific Python version during installation. For instance:
sudo apt-get install python3.7-tk
sudo dnf install python3-tkinter-3.6.6-1.fc28.x86_64
Once the installation is complete, you can import the module using the appropriate name for your Python version. For Python 3, use import tkinter as tk, and for Python 2, use import Tkinter as tk. If you want compatibility with both Python versions, you can choose at runtime based on the version number of the Python interpreter:
import sys
if sys.version_info[0] == 3:
import tkinter as tk
else:
import Tkinter as tk
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ModuleNotFoundError and successfully import the Tkinter module in Python.
