So last night I tried to start working with tkinter, and I sifted through several articles and youtube videos on how to install it. I (thought) installed it through brew, as well as a package download of activeTCL. I am just trying to make a simple program. this is all it is:

from tkinter import *

root = tk()

label1 = Label(root, text = "tkiner test")
label1.pack()
root.mainloop()

But, when I run it in terminal, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "copmeter.py", line 1, in from tkinter import * ImportError: No module named tkinter

Can someone explain what I am doing wrong? or what I have to do exactly to install tkinter? thanks in advance.

Are you using python 2? If so, the module is called `Tkinter` with a capital T. – Aran-Fey Mar 25 '18 at 21:33
I tried that too. Still get the same error. Lol I have no idea what im doing wrong – cgreene Mar 25 '18 at 21:38
Do you see tkinter in the output of the "brew list" command? – hikerjobs Mar 25 '18 at 21:53
I see tcl-tk, but not tkinter – cgreene Mar 25 '18 at 22:04
That's the problem - it seems like tkinter has not been installed (properly). Try reinstalling. – hikerjobs Mar 25 '18 at 22:15

It looks like you are using python 2 In python 2, use `from Tkinter import *` In python 3, use `from tkinter import *` **Reference:** https://stackoverflow.com/a/39822599/7280140 – Ahmed Hussein Apr 12 '18 at 13:37
