tkiner not found on Windows 10 + python 3.6 about auto-py-to-exe HOT 14 CLOSED

That is very odd. If you go into Python 3.6's shell and import tkinter, does it import?

from auto-py-to-exe.

Actually, I was installing a version of Python today and noticed that in the optional features, there is a checkbox for "td/tk and IDLE" which is checked by default. Was this checked when you installed Python? (if you did the default installation then there is no worry). This makes sure tkinter is installed when installing Python.

@emuhedo any advances on this?

This issue is being closed because it has been inactive for more than two months.

Same problem on Win8.1 Python 3.7

from auto-py-to-exe.

@ThatsTheSpirit is tkinter available in your distribution? Typically it is installed by default unless you uncheck a box when installing Python.

@brentvollebregt Problem solved by reinstalling python

from auto-py-to-exe.

Hi there everyone.
I still have this problem on Ubuntu and I also reinstalled python and tkinter. Any suggestions on that?

from auto-py-to-exe.

@flo-abgrund are you sure tkinter is installed? If you open up a Python 3 shell and import it, does it throw an error?

from auto-py-to-exe.

@brentvollebregt thanks for your quick reply! yes, it is installed and doesn't throw an error. I am not sure what could cause this.

Can you confirm that the installation of Python you just tested with is the same installation of Python that auto-py-to-exe is using?

You can find the location of auto-py-to-exe using whereis auto-py-to-exe I believe. Using a similar technique to find where your Python installation is and then check that auto-py-to-exe is in the correct place relative to it.

from auto-py-to-exe.

auto-py-to-exe is in /home/USER/.local/bin/ whereas Python lies in /usr/bin/

from auto-py-to-exe.

Ah yes, I didn't realise it would be placed in a different location compared to Windows.

Are you able to verify that the installation of Python you used to test tkinter was installed is the same installation of Python that is running auto-py-to-exe?

from auto-py-to-exe.

Ah yeah, it works now. I somehow had to install it via pip3.8 install auto-py-to-exe. don't know why, though, since python3.8 is my default python installation.

anyhoo, thanks very much for your efforts on that!
