No module named 'tkinter' and doesn't import

Question

I installed tkinter and my python version is 3.6.9 but it still doesn't import

import tkinter

from tkinter import *
root = tkinter.Tk(  )
for r in range(3):
   for c in range(4):
      tkinter.Label(root, text='R%s/C%s'%(r,c),
         borderwidth=1 ).grid(row=r,column=c)
root.mainloop(  )

error is import tkinter ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

root = tkinter.Tk( ) NameError: name 'tkinter' is not defined — panti, Dec 06 '21 at 11:33

Maybe it's happening because of an installation error. So, please make sure that tkinter is installed properly. like, for ubuntu or other distros with apt,

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

additionally, for me, it's always the best way to run a project is via a virtual environment. So, after checking the installation, if it again doesn't run, try this after creating a virtual environment.

@saiden: you can't install tkinter with pip. – Bryan Oakley Dec 06 '21 at 15:37

If you are importing all from tkinter (from tkinter import *), you should call functions not like:

tkinter.Tk()

But like:

Tk()

This doesn't answer the question that was asked. The code fails on the very first line. – Bryan Oakley Dec 06 '21 at 15:37
