Why is Tkinter missing?

Question

Started messing with Tkinter today, but when I tried to run my first program it crashed. It appears the reason is that I don't have Tkinter. This is a standard installation of Python 3.3 on Windows 7, why is it not there? How can I get it?

make sure you are importing in lower case, that is 'tkinter' and not 'Tkinter' — behzad.nouri, May 19 '13 at 21:50

This answer might be irrelevant with more information, but, for now: are you capitalizing "Tkinter" when using the import command? In Python 3.x, it's imported as lower-case ("import tkinter"), but in 2.x code it's imported with an initial capital ("import Tkinter").

Bleh. I should most likely find a Python 3 tutorial. Thanks! – Nathan2055 May 19 '13 at 22:34
Just faced the same issue now and glad that someone asked the same question some 5 hours back :) – Pulimon May 20 '13 at 03:09

Maybe you disabled it during Python installation? It is Tcl/Tk item in install wizard and it can be disabled. Try reinstall Python and do not turn it off.

Both of the answers above are perfectly good ideas but if neither of these work make sure you are using this code:

    from tkinter import *

Rather than this code:

    import tkinter
