I have Python 2.7.14 running on Ubuntu 16.04 and am having difficulty including Tkinter.
Here are some of the messages I have been getting:
make
Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
_bsddb _tkinter bsddb185
dbm dl gdbm
imageop readline sunaudiodev
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
I tried looking in setup.py but simply cannot make sense of what I am doing.
I have installed tk and tcl via terminal:

tk is already the newest version (8.6.0+9).

From https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter :
"If it fails with "No module named Tkinter", your Python configuration need to be changed to include the directory that contains Tkinter.py in its default module search path. You have probably forgotten to define TKPATH in the Modules/Setup file. A temporary workaround would be to find that directory and add it to your PYTHONPATH environment variable. It is the subdirectory named "lib-tk" of the Python library directory (when using Python 1.4 or before, it is named "tkinter")."
I kind of understand what to do but just not how to do it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
Edit: This question has nothing to do with virtualenv, but is about installing Python locally with Tkinter.
