tkinter import error on ubuntu 16.4
At the bottom of your post you say:
Note that I ran the code in python 2.7 and it ran successfully.
When you import Tkinter from Python 2 you must say:
import Tkinter
When you import Tkinter from Python 3 you must say:
import tkinter
A snippet I use for Tkinter when I know that my script is going to be ran from multiple versions of Python is below:
import syspy_version = int(sys.version[0])# If the python version is lower than 3, use Python 2 importif py_version < 3: import Tkinter# Otherwise use Python 3 import else: import tkinterIF THE ABOVE DID NOT FIX YOUR PROBLEM:
I see that in one of your error messages it says
python3-tk is already the newest version (3.5.1-1).
But the error message also says that your Python version is 3.6.
Try using: sudo apt-get install python3.6-tk
