Issues importing tkinter on python 2.7

I'll preface this by saying that I am aware that on 2.7 it should be:

import Tkinter

However, for whatever reason on my desktop running xenial and

python --version

returning:

python 2.7.12

I have had no trouble throughout the development of an application on my system importing tkinter with 

import tkinter

2.7 working with import tkinter

I am wholly confused because as I went to work on a different machine I attempted to run my code only to find out I should have been using 

import Tkinter

Which executes fine on the second machine. However,

import tkinter

returns that there is no module named tkinter.

Does anybody know why this is happening?

You must have installed the six module at some point. It includes a dummy tkinter that allows python3 style tkinter imports in python2.
