Why is there no tkinter distribution found?
Question:
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?
Answers:
The Tkinter library comes in default with every Python installation
Try this:
import Tkinter as tk
You should install
apt-get install python-tk
This should solve your issue
I had to install python3-tk manually before it worked (via apt-get)
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)
to find your package run:
sudo yum search python|grep tk
mine was:
yum install python3-tkinter.x86_64
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.
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.
I was able to fix this on Amazon Linux 2 with python2.7 by running this sudo yum install python-tools -y command.
On a MacBook use brew install python-tk
The error will be sorted out.
import Tkinter as tk
Notice the T. This was changed in python 3.x
This will work for tkinter installment
pip install tk
python -m pip install tk
just go on cmd and type pip intall Tk interface,
i thinks this is the full true name of tkinter module

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.
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.
T of Tkinter should be lowercase
Not
import Tkinter as tk
Use as folow:
import tkinter as tk
or
from tkinter import *
not : from Tkinter import *
