Tkinter not importing on windows

Question

I'm creating a GUI using tkinter but have no experience using it in windows. I followed this documentation: http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html My program folder is connected to a virtual environment that has python3.6 downloaded into it. I have installed ActiveTcl, ran the test, and it showed I had the correct version of tkinter installed.

in the beginning of the program I have "import tkinter", to which the IDE responds with "unable to resolve "tkinter", IntelliSense may be missing for this module"

I noticed that when I installed activetcl, it created a "tcl" folder outside of my "site-packages" folder(the folder I get all other imports from). The tcl folder holds all of the tkinter libraries but if I "import tcl", it still doesn't work.

Any ideas as to why this could be?

Answer 1

I've been told to just try this

try:
    # for Python2
    from Tkinter import *
except ImportError:
    # for Python3
    from tkinter import *
