Why is there no tkinter distribution found?

I am having a problem during the installation of tkinter. I have version 2.7.11. I entered the pip install tkinter on dos but it shows the following message:

collecting tkinter

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tkinter (from versions:) No matching distribution found for tkinter

I have successfully installed flask with the same procedure, but for tkinter it is showing problem. How can I get rid of this problem?

Comes inbuilt with python Just import it in your file

import tkinter

if you not have ticked tkinter during installation.

Run the installer again and modify the installation Select the Tk
checkbox (and anything else you want) And continue through the installation.

T of Tkinter should be lowercase

Not

 import Tkinter as tk

Use as folow:

import tkinter as tk

from tkinter import * 
not : from Tkinter import *

I was running a Flask application in the almaLinux docker image and my fix for this was.

yum install python39* -y 
#Be aware this will install Everything including things you don't need.

So this could be a simply case of you need to install the right package for the version of Python you are using.

You may not have ticked tkinter during installation.

Download the latest version of python from python.org
Run the installer
Click modify
Select the Tk checkbox (and anything else you want)
And continue through the installation.

Done.

import Tkinter as tk

Notice the T. This was changed in python 3.x

I was able to fix this on Amazon Linux 2 with python2.7 by running this sudo yum install python-tools -y command.

pip shown Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python--tkinter (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for python--tkinter You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 19.0.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via the python -m pip install --upgrade pip command.

the below answer in for Windows:

after installing Tk in your windows machine by following the instructions mentioned in the following link (https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html#installwin), import tkinter as tk (for python3) or import Tkinter as tk (for python2). FYI - 'Tkinter' has been renamed as 'tkinter' in python3. It worked well for me.

to find your package run:

sudo yum search python|grep tk

mine was:

yum install python3-tkinter.x86_64

Follow this guide to install "tkinter". However now with Python version 3.1 onwards, it is part of the standard python distribution.

You can also install it using sudo apt-get install python3-tk-dbg, if you are in virtualenv. (Same can be done for normal installation, not just virtualenv)
