I get this error when importing Tkinter in python

Question

I am trying to learn Tkinter in python but when I try to import it, it gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
    from tkinter import *
ImportError: No module named tkinter

I don't know what to do, can someone please help? Thanks.

Answer 1

Depending on what version of Python you are using, you need to import tkinter in a different way. In python 2, the code is this: from Tkinter import * . In Python 3, you should use from tkinter import * .

The difference is that the first letter in tkinter is capitalized in Python 2, while in Python 3 it is all lowercase.

If you are not sure what version of Python you are using, open the Python Shell and it will show you.
