[Tutor] tkinter
Hello, I'm new to Python and I've been having a frustrating time with python because I'm trying to import tkinter and it's saying that tkinter is not defined, that it doesn't exist and now i'm not able to run some of my programs since it states that there is no module named tkinter. If you could help that would be great!

What OS are you using? If it is Linux then its common that you have to install tkinter separately from the basic python package. Its usually called python-tkinter or somesuch in the package manager. Be sure to match the version number with your Python version. If its MacOS then the system python doesn't (or didn't last time I tried) come with tkinter so you need to download the latest MacOS python installer and install it (Do not uninstall the system version though - the OS needs it!) On Windows tkinter should be present.
