TKinter Does Not Work

Question

I am working on Python v2.x windows os. I notice tcl (including TKinter) IS installed while I am having Python installed.

But when I verify it by typing 'import tkinter' on Python IDLE, there is error: "ImportError: No module named tkinter"

Could anyone give me some advice? Thanks.

Answer 1

In Python2,

import Tkinter

In Python3

import tkinter

Answer 2

Python 2.x use Tkinter - see upper T.

In Python 3.x name was changed to tkinter

To work with both Pythons you can use

try:
    import Tkinter as tk
except ImportError:
    import tkinter as tk


root = tk.Tk()
