Modulenotfounderror no module named tkinter windows - Доктор Windows

For some reason, I can’t use the Tkinter or tkinter module.
After running the following command in the python shell

import Tkinter

import tkinter

I got this error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘Tkinter’

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tkinter’

What could be the reason for and how can we solve it?

You probably need to install it using something similar to the following:

For Ubuntu or other distros with Apt:
```
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
```
For Fedora:
```
sudo dnf install python3-tkinter
```

You can also mention a Python version number like this:

```
sudo apt-get install python3.7-tk
```

sudo dnf install python3-tkinter-3.6.6-1.fc28.x86_64

Finally, import tkinter (for Python 3) or Tkinter (for Python 2), or choose at runtime based on the version number of the Python interpreter (for compatibility with both):

import sys
if sys.version_info[0] == 3:
    import tkinter as tk
else:
    import Tkinter as tk

As you are using Python 3, the module has been renamed to tkinter, as stated in the documentation:

Note Tkinter has been renamed to tkinter in Python 3. The 2to3 tool
will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to
Python 3.

If you’re using python 3.9 on Mac, you can simply install tkinter using brew:

brew install python-tk@3.9

This fixed it for me.

Edit:
As mentioned by others, you can also use the general command to install the latest version:

brew install python-tk

For windows 10, it is important to check in the Python install the optional feature «tcl/tk and IDLE». Otherwise you get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tkinter’. In my case, it was not possible to install tkinter after the Python install with something like «pip install tkinter»

You might need to install for your specific version, I have known cases where this was needed when I was using many versions of python and one version in a virtualenv using for example python 3.7 was not importing tkinter I would have to install it for that version specifically.

For example

sudo apt-get install python3.7-tk

No idea why — but this has occured.

Installing Tkinter

python -m pip install tk-tools

or

sudo apt install python3-tk

answered Sep 26, 2021 at 13:11

For Windows 10 using either VSCode or PyCharm with Python 3.7.4 — make sure Tk is ticked in the install. I tried import tkinter as xyz with upper/lower t and k‘s and all variants without luck.

What works is:

import tkinter
import _tkinter
tkinter._test()

An example in action:

import tkinter
import _tkinter

HEIGHT = 700
WIDTH = 800

root = tkinter.Tk()

canvas = tkinter.Canvas(root, height = HEIGHT, width=WIDTH)
canvas.pack()

frame = tkinter.Frame(root, bg='red')
frame.pack()

root.mainloop()

check the python version you have installed by using command python --version

check for the Tk module installed correctly from following code

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

Check if you are using open-source OS then

check the tkinter module in the following path
/home/python/site-packages/tkinter
change the path accordingly your system

On CentOS7, to get this working with Python2, I had to do:

yum -y install tkinter

Noting this here because I thought that there would be a pip package, but instead, one needs to actually install an rpm.

answered Feb 3, 2020 at 19:57

Make sure that when you are running your python code that it is in the python3 context. I had the same issue and all I had to do was input the command as:

sudo python3 REPLACE.py

versus

sudo python REPLACE.py

the latter code is incorrect because tkinter is apparently unnavailable in python1 or python2.

answered Nov 28, 2019 at 20:42

You just need to install it and import them your project like that :

this code import to command line :

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

after import tkinter your project :

from tkinter import *

answered Dec 8, 2019 at 6:33

I resolved my issue in the PyCharm do following

Install Python Interpreter from https://www.python.org/
PyCharm > Preferences > Python Interpreter > Add
Select installed interpreter
In the run configuration select the newly installed interpreter

I also made a video instruction what I did https://youtu.be/awaURBnfwxk

For Windows I had to reinstall python and make sure that while installing in Optional Features I had «tcl/tk and IDLE» enabled.

answered Sep 2, 2022 at 15:45

Tkinter should come with the latest Python, I don’t think it comes with Python2. I had the same problem but once. I upgraded to Python 3.8 Tkinter was installed.

We can use 2 types of methods for importing libraries

work with import library
work with from library import *

You can load tkinter using these ways:

from tkinter import*
import tkinter

You’ll probably need to install Tkinter.
You can do so like this in the Windows command prompt:

If you have pip on your path, you could (in your command prompt) just type
pip install tkinter
Most versions of python already come with tkinter.

Firstly you should test your python idle to see if you have tkinter:

import tkinter

tkinter._test()

Trying typing it, copy paste doesn’t work.

So after 20 hours of trying every way that recommended on those websites figured out that you can’t use «tkinter.py» or any other file name that contains «tkinter..etc.py». If you have the same problem, just change the file name.

There’re lot ports of PySimpleGUI, basic one is PySimpleGUI which is tkinter port and all GUI code are based on tkinter module. Some other ports are based on Qt, WxPython, and Remi.

The tkinter package (“Tk interface”) is the standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit. Both Tk and tkinter are available on most Unix platforms, as well as on Windows systems. (Tk itself is not part of Python; it is maintained at ActiveState.)

There’s one path shown in your output of sys.path,

C:UsersuserAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37-32lib

if nothing wrong, you can find the sub-directory tkinter and something like this,

Hey there! This article will explain why you might encounter the error – no module named Tkinter – when you are writing a python program and how you can get around this error.

The Tkinter is a module that provides functionality to create graphical user interfaces. It will enable you to create windows, checkboxes, etc. It is a built-in module; therefore, it is included when you installed python.

So if it’s installed, why is there an error? The reason is the Tkinter module was renamed in Python version 3. In python 2, the module was initially called Tkinter. After that, in python 3, the name of the module changed to tkinter(lowercase).

Is the tkinter module installed? how to check

Firstly, let’s see how to check if the tkinter is installed with python. You can do so by running the following command from your terminal:

In case you have several python installations on your laptop, make sure you are using the correct one when running the command. For instance, in my case, I have two installations, python 2 and python3.

And when I run the command to check if tkinter is installed I see the following:

Output:

/usr/local/opt/python@2/bin/python2.7: No module named tkinter.__main__; 'tkinter' is a package and cannot be directly executed

This means that when I run the python command on my machine, I am using version 2. So if tkinter is a built-in module, why is there an error indicating it can’t find thetkinter module? The reason is the tkinter module is actually called Tkinter(uppercase) in python2.

In other words, module names in Python are case sensitive, and in the case of the tkinter module, the module name was initially named Tkinter in version 2, and changed to tkinter in Python version 3.

You can check the python version running on your machine by running the below command from your terminal:

Output:

Consequently if I run the same command but using python3, the tkinter sample window will open. See the command below:

Output:

If this window pops up, it means the tkinter module is included in your python installation.

Fix – no module named tkinter error

The easiest way to fix this problem is by upgrading your python to use python 3. If upgrading python is not an option, you only need to rename your imports to use Tkinter(uppercase) instead of tkinter(lowercase).

Check if Tkinter is available in python 2 running the following command from your terminal:

Output:

As a result, this window proves that your python installation includes the Tkinter module.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if the error no module named tkinter raises, it probably means you are using python 2. Firstly, you can get around the problem by upgrading to python 3.

Additionally, you can rename your import to Tkinter, which is how the module was named in python 2, just if upgrading is not an option.

I hope this article was useful, and thanks for reading and supporting this blog. Happy coding! 🙂

No module named ‘Tkinter’

Jun-30-2020, 07:57 AM
(This post was last modified: Jun-30-2020, 09:08 AM by buran.)

I’m a beginner, and from my first steps, I have a strange problem. No matter what I have done (google it, set a virtual environment, reinstalling the language several times, installing deferent versions of the language) when I’m trying to give the code:

from future.moves import Tkinter as tk
window = tk.tk()
# to rename the title of the window
window.title("GUI")
# pack is used to show the object in the window
label = tk.label(window, text = "Welcome to DataCamp's Tutorial on Tkinter!").pack()

It gives me the following error:

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:/Applications/Python 3.7.2/Scripts/Modules-and-Functions-in-Python-Introduction-to-Tkinter-Source-code/sowtest.py", line 1, in <module>
    from future.moves import Tkinter as tk
  File "C:UsersΑλέκος Βαγιώνηςvenvpython 3.7libsite-packagesfuturemovestkinter__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
    from Tkinter import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Tkinter'

Process finished with exit code 1

All that, after I have tried with pip in the CMD to install the module.
Though it is included with Python (as I know)
I am running a Windows 10 tablet and I have the 3.7.3 version of Python.

Have you tried

from future.moves import tkinter as tk
window = tk.Tk()

as capitalization matters, I tried that with tkinter and works just fine (well it does load the library)
for example after you set tkinter you will get an error for your tk.tk() as it should be tk.TK() the same goes for label, it should be Label

so it should be

from future.moves import tkinter as tk
window = tk.Tk()
# to rename the title of the window
window.title("GUI")
# pack is used to show the object in the window
label = tk.Label(window, text = "Welcome to DataCamp's Tutorial on Tkinter!").pack()

@jdos, your solution gives an excellent explanation, but the real problem is that he doesn’t have the Tkinter module installed.

On the other side, it is still not recognizing the «Tkinter» module :

You may still have other issues but as jdos mentioned you need to use «tkinter» for python 3. «Tkinter» is for python 2.

There is an example of how to detect the python version in this thread:

No need to use future.moves and as posted you most use import tkinter for Python 3.
Not import Tkinter(Is for the dead Python 2).
you see this clearly on doc to A Simple Hello World Program.

First why don’t you install v3.8? Second, if you have problems with the path, uninstall all versions, reboot, install new version.

When you start the installer be sure to check the auto path install.

After that locate your python (usually C:UsersuserAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32Scripts) start cmd as administrator, cd to that folder and then run ‘pip install tkinter’ and all the other modules and libraries that you need.
Open IDLE and start coding.

And always remember, Capitalization matters. Tkinter is not tkinter for v3. ‘label’ is not ‘Label’ and tk.tk() is not tk.Tk(), that is to help you out of trouble. If you need help with the commands check TkDocs.

Cheers!

Fix the ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package in Python

Python ImportError: No Module Named _Tkinter, Please Install the Python-Tk Package

This article will discuss the ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package error in Python and how to fix it.

the `ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package` in Python

Tkinter packages must be installed externally through the CLI and imported to your program. Otherwise, you will encounter the ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package.

Let’s see the example.

Code:

Output:

ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package
# or
ImportError: No module named _tkinter

Fix the `ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package` in Python

To fix the error, install the tkinter package externally from the command line interface and then import it into the current program.

There might be a different version of the command based on your operating system (OS), so you can try the one that perfectly matches your OS.

If you have Python 3x then you need to run the following command. This command also works with Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

Command — Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3-tkinter

Command — Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S tk

Command — Debian-based and Python 3x:

sudo apt-get install python-tk

Moreover, if you are using RHEL, CentOS, or Oracle Linux, then you can use yum to install tkinter.

yum install tkinter

Based on your OS, you should install the version that suits your system, then import the tkinter into your current program, and it should work fine.

Let’s try a basic GUI application with tkinter.

Code:

from tkinter import *
window=Tk()

# label
lbl=Label(window, text="Welcome to DelfStack.com", fg='blue', font=("Helvetica", 14))
lbl.place(x=60, y=100)

# title
window.title('DelfStack')

# size of the dialog box
window.geometry("400x200+10+10")

window.mainloop()

Output:

GUI application using tkinter

The above code will create a small dialog box, which in this case displays a label "Welcome to DelfStack.com" and a title "DelfStack", but you can add more weights to it accordingly.
