I am running RedHat 4.1.2 offline and trying to get _tkinter working for Python 2.7.13. I have Tcl/tk 8.4 installed, but it doesn't seem to be working right. libtcl8.4.so is located in /usr/lib64/ and I'm not sure if that's related, but I figured I would mention it. Here is the error when I try import Tkinter.

Tcl 8.4 might not be good enough to support Tkinter. However, simply installing Tcl (or having it already installed) is *definitely* not good enough. Tkinter is two more layers sitting on top of that: the `tkinter` Python code (which you have), and the `_tkinter` C library (which you don't). – Karl Knechtel Apr 29 '23 at 01:43

Perhaps you could try a package manager such as Anaconda and install Tkinter.
This post may help.

I'm offline, so installing a package manager doesn't help and I can't use apt-get or wget. I am transferring tar files from my windows machine to the linux machine – mercify Jun 07 '17 at 20:09

Download an offline installer for Anaconda. A simple google search should lead you to it. – newkid Jun 07 '17 at 20:20

"Python 2.7.13 (default, Jun 7 2017, 14:35:11)" And then it starts the python interpreter – mercify Jun 07 '17 at 21:13

Then it's not the Anaconda python. You'll have to update PYTHON_PATH and PATH environment variables to point to your installation. Set your python to Anaconda python interpreter – newkid Jun 07 '17 at 21:20
