How can I install tkinter for both python 3.4 and python 3.5?
Currently, tkinter is installed for python 3.4 (i.e., import tkinter
runs fine in the python 3.4 interpreter). However I don't know how to install tkinter for python 3.5.
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
doesn't work: it says python3-tk
is already installed (which is unsurprising since it is installed for python 3.4).
I use Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS x64.
python3.4:
jh@gr:/scratch/test$ python3.4
Python 3.4.3 (default, Nov 17 2016, 01:08:31)
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tkinter
>>>
python3.5:
jh@gr:/scratch/test$ python3.5
Python 3.5.2 (default, Jul 17 2016, 00:00:00)
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/tkinter/__init__.py", line 36, in <module>
import _tkinter
ImportError: No module named '_tkinter'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/tkinter/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
raise ImportError(str(msg) + ', please install the python3-tk package')
ImportError: No module named '_tkinter', please install the python3-tk package
As a side note, restinstalling the package python3-tk
doesn't change the situation (i.e., afterward tkinter works in python 3.4 and not in python 3.5):
sudo apt-get remove python3-tk
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
