How do i import Tkinter/simplegui in Visual Studio Code?

I tried importing the Tkinter module in Visual Studio Code while writing code for UI development. I'm getting the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Tkinter'

Do I have to do a pip install for this module? Also, how do I do that in VSC?

Which python version are you using? Tkinter should come with Python. You can allways try

python -m tkinter

That should open an exemplary window (reference). Further you could also just try to pip install tkinter

In python modules (packages) are managed with pip. Pip is indepent of your IDE (in your case visual studio) you can call it from the console. See here 

pip --version
python -m ensurepip --default-pip

Edit
I have a guess what the problem is. Your python version is not correctly in your PATH variable. Check this link . While installing python you probably unticked the check box to add python to your path. Here is also a step by step to fix this
