In ubuntu IDE doest load tkinter library for python3 or python2

Question

Hello everyone and thank you for your help in advance.

I am trying to use tkinter library. When I open terminal type python3 and use

import tkinter
tkinter._test()

It works. Also when I type python and use

import Tkinter
Tkinter.TK()

It also works. My problem is when I install on my ubuntu 18.04 LTS IDE like for eg. Eric Python or VISUAL STUDIO etc. Under python2 or python3 I get same error and can not load tkinter ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Tkinter'

When I load my simple code I get this error:

Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError

No module named 'Tkinter' File "/home/user234/Desktop/Program/start.py", line 1, in import Tkinter File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 96, in _run_module_code mod_name, mod_spec, pkg_name, script_name) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 263, in run_path pkg_name=pkg_name, script_name=fname) This is the code I use

import Tkinter
canvas = Tkinter.Canvas()
canvas.pack()
canvas.create_line(10, 100, 200, 100, 10, 200)

Any suggestions where could be problem? I could not google answer for this question.

I found solution. When using IDE you need to add this to your code to use tkinter library:

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.mainloop()
