在 PyCharm/Windows 上安装 tkinter

Question

So I have been trying lots of things and googled for this (many answers to this question on stackoverflow, but none worked for me). Basically I have PyCharm on Windows. I have a python project using python 3.8 (virtualenv). I'm trying to use 'tkinter' in this project but this import fails:

import tkinter

So I try the suggestion of installing future package. That seems to work (no errors). I restart PyCharm but after that the error simply remains. I also tried to manually install 'tkinter' package. So I look in 'Available Packages' and search for 'tkinter'. I see lots of packages starting with 'tkinter' (like 'tkinter-nav', 'tkinter-math', ...) but no 'tkinter'. Installing any of these other tkinter packages doesn't help.

So I'm a bit stuck now. I'm using Windows 10 btw.

Thanks for the help

Answer 1

Try using import tkinter as tk or from tkinter import * normally more compatible & workable with more addons; or at least to my experience

Answer 2

"import tkinter" can be employed as long as you the word tkinter is used when creating your objects, such as:

var = tkinter.StringVar()
username_box = tkinter.Entry(root, textvariable=var, font=("Arial", 14))
username_box.pack(padx=10, pady=10)

see https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html
