I am trying to run this code in pycharm:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

w = tk.Label(root, text="Hello, world!")
w.pack()

root.mainloop()

However it always gives me the following errror: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/nils/PycharmProjects/rfid/first_test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import tkinter as tk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

If I use the same exact code in IDLE, it works perfectly. I just can not figure out how to install/import tkitner (through the project interpreter didnt work). I am using python 3.7 and the newest Linux Mint.

If you could provide me some hints or a solution, it would be very much appreciated :D

Thanks!

Edit: Typing in " import tkinter " in the IDLE shell works fine, however typing in the same in the PyCharm console produces the error above...

Edit2: I solved the problem by completly uninstalling pycharm and installing it again.

If you're here and have issues on macOS Big Sur, and use Homebrew know that tkinter is not included with Python 3.9, and needs to be installed separately.

brew install python-tk@3.9

You can right click it and go to context actions to install or go to the terminal and type, pip install python-tkinter or sudo apt install python-tkinter!
