Import error: No module named tkinter

Question

I'm attempting to build graphics for a calculator I made, but I'm getting an error saying that there's no module tkinter. How do I fix my code so that it correctly imports tkinter?

import sys
from tkinter import*

root = Tk()
frame = Frame(root)
frame.pack()

root.title('Calculator')

root.mainloop()

@flyingmeatball: The [python-3.x] tag suggests that it is Python 3, which uses the `tkinter` (all lower case) module. — Fred Larson, Mar 31 '16 at 20:52
If it's not a capitalization problem, you might need to [install tkinter](https://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/How_to_install_Tkinter). — Fred Larson, Mar 31 '16 at 20:58
Always include error messages and if possibly relevant, the entire traceback. For any question about interacting with anything outside of Python, include the OS and version. — Terry Jan Reedy, Mar 31 '16 at 23:44
The Install Tkinter wiki page two have referenced is about a decade old. Python.org has a new page for OSX. The linux stuff might still be good. But to repeat, identify your system. — Terry Jan Reedy, Mar 31 '16 at 23:46

Check what python version you have

If you have python 3x:

from tkinter import *

If you have python 2x

from Tkinter import *

If both of those do not work, reinstall tkinter.
