tkinter on Raspberry Pi; Raspbian/Jessie Python 3.4

Question

I installed tkinter using the following request: sudo apt-get install python3-tk

When I try to import the module using:

 #!/usr/local/lib/python3.4  
 import tkinter as tk

The above two lines resulted in the following error condition (both IDLE and python3 shell)

ImportError: No module named tkinter 

Wits end! - Any insight much appreciated. Thx Tankadere

Answer 1

I had this same issue and realized I was using the command

python

when instead I should be using this command

python3

If you use 2.7,

import Tkinter # capital T

if you use 3.4,

import tkinter # lowercase t

Answer 2

Try import Tkinter, not import tkinter, because Python is case-sensitive and Tkinter was renamed in latest verisons.

Answer 3

On Fedora 25, dnf install python3-tkinter.
