ImportError: No module named _tkinter


I have installed Python3 and Python3-Tk
I have followed the steps here, however I don't know how to edit the paths and such like it says to do.

I got on the python IRC and found that i messed something up by installing python3 from a tarball.
The lesson? Use the package manager whenever possible.

This has the same syntax as the shell variable PATH, that is, a list of directory names. When PYTHONPATH is not set, or when the file is not found there, the search continues in an installation-dependent default path; on Unix, this is usually .:/usr/local/lib/python.
It is the subdirectory named "lib-tk" of the Python library directory (when using Python 1.4 or before, it is named "tkinter").

In the terminal locate the python program

Code: Select all

locate python
--to find your file mane
PYTHONPATH=
--to add that location to the variable for the python program

--add that file directory (folder) to the shell (bash ) variable PYTHONPATH, this is a work-around to enable you to install the program tkinker you are attempting

Just make sure to use the correct directory (folder) making sure of the number of / (forward slashes, Linux directory separator character, similar to the \ (backslash for windows)

The file you are looking for is lib-tk if you have a version of python after 1.4 (the version number..)
--if your pyhton is pre version 1.4, the file name will be tkinker

<EDIT>..In your guide, sorry I should read more carefully, you are using python 3x..
--step 2 did work correctly or not (module for tkinker ?)
OK, I see the part that failed for you was step 2, import tkinker

So, just setup PYTHONPATH for lib-tk and see if that then works for the installation..

...and change the terminal search to lib-tk

Neither steps 1 or 2 work.

Also i found i have tkinter installed here /usr/lib/python3.2/tkinter
also the python3-tk properties say this

Code: Select all

Also when I try "import tkinter" from IDLE it just doesn't do anything.

Also there isn't a "lib-tk" anywhere.

These are the python folder in usr/lib
