python - Why does it say that no module named tkinter?

Question

Good day. I installed pyhton 2 and python 3 in my laptop. And i'm using python 3 interpreter in writing my codes. Here is my code.

#! /usr/bin/python3

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

theLabel = Label(root, text ="This is too easy")
theLabel.pack()

root.mainloop()

But when I double clicked the save file icon. It will say no module name tkinter. Can some one help me please?

Answer 1

python 2 and python 3 use tkinter in a different way.

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

The above lines are from python documentation. Not sure if python is loading tkinter using python 2 or python 3..May be internal PYTHONPATH is messed up Rather try this,

try:
  import tkinter as tk
except ImportError:
  import Tkinter as tk

Note: In these situations where you use multiple versions of same modules, try using virualenv

Virtual Env
