Hey Guys,
As a Python beginner, I always like to share problems I encounter as I move along to day I got an import error on my Cruchbang box and want share with you. I guess you might also have had the same issue hence coming across this.
In this tutorial, we fix a simple import error below after running >>> import turtle
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package
Here is the full view of how this error was caught.
python Python 3.4.1 (default, May 19 2014, 17:23:49) [GCC 4.9.0 20140507 (prerelease)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import turtle Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.4/turtle.py", line 107, in <module> import tkinter as TK File "/usr/lib/python3.4/tkinter/__init__.py", line 38, in <module> import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory >>>
The error message is very clear and all that needs to be installed is Tkinter
sudo apt-get install python-tk
Next time your import turtle from python shell it should pass.
>>> import turtle >>>
Hope this helps!
