I've written a Python script using tkinter. However today, after updating homebrew, I'm getting the following error:

No module named _tkinter

when I try to import tkinter.

Interactive terminal looks like this:

>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.10_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/
python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py"line 39, in <module>
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
>>>

When I try to import _tkinter I get this:

ImportError: No module named _tkinter

When you have a specific error or exception like this, you should copy exactly the key part of the traceback, in this case `ImportError: No module named _tkinter`, and past it on google search box, and then click `Google Search` , and usually you are lucky ;) – nbro Aug 08 '15 at 09:20

Well Tkinter is the GUI library that comes in python as default. If you can't call Tkinter that means your python installation is corrupted. Re-installing your python should fix it.
