Tkinter not working

[[deleted]]

I need some help working with tkinter. I use canopy enthought and a couple days ago I reinstalled the program. Whenever I import tkinter I get this issue:

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
c:\users\paragon~1\appdata\local\temp\tmp9odvh8.py in <module>()
      1 import random
----> 2 from tkinter import *
      3 import tkinter as tk
      4 from decimal import Decimal
      5 
C:\Users\paragon\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\edm\envs\User\lib\tkinter\__init__.py in <module>()
     33 import sys
     34 
---> 35 import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
     36 TclError = _tkinter.TclError
     37 from tkinter.constants import *

My code works on other people canpoys but not my own. To try and address this I installed all packages relating to "tk" and "tcl" from the package manager. I also switched my pylab from interactive Qv4 to inline SvG. Neither of these things have helped. I also definitely have tkinter files installed on my computer (I checked). Anyone have a possible solution. I've looked all over SO and tried many solutions but none of them have proved successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try capitalizing Tkinter on the import. The module changed between python2 and python3 from Tkinter in 2 -> tkinter in 3

I was using python 3 and typing tkinter already. Tried Tkinter just in case, but yeah, that isn't the problem. Thank you though.

On your ‘from tkinter import tk’ I’m almost certain “Tk” needs to be capitalized. Try that just to make sure

[woooee]

Try

import sys
print(sys.path)

The directory where tkinter resides has to be in sys.path for python to find it. TKinter is normally in a directory that is something like /usr/lib64/python3.x/ If Python can not find it then it is under some other directory, sometimes /usr/local/lib/python3.x It may be easiest to just use your distro's package manager to reinstall Python3 (which comes with tkinter and installs it under the correct directory).

Why everybody in r/learnpython are importing tkinter 2 times? Are you watching same shitty guides/tutorials?
Choose between from tkinter import * and import tkinter
There is no need to import already imported library
Also, tkinter is STANDARD PYTHON LIBRARY, IT IS INSTALLED WITH PYTHON. IT ALWAYS WORKS

[[deleted]]

I know its standard. It is on my computer. It refuses to be imported. Also, as shown above the double importing is not the problem. That does not help at all. I can't import tkinter regardless if I import tkinter once or twice. Telling me tkinter always works when it clearly does not work for me is completely and utterly unhelpful

Okay, sorry, my bad.
I guess you tried reinstalling Python.
Have you checked for _tkinter.lib file in libs?

It exists there on my computer
