DEPRECATION WARNING: The system version of Tk is deprecated, M1 Mac in Vs Code – global Python
Question:
(M1 MBA 2020, MacOS 12.3.1)
So inside of Vs Code, when I select my interpreter as Python 3.8.9 from my usr/local/bin Tkinter it runs as I want it to.
Here is the running code for reference.
The problem arises when I am trying to use the Global Python 3.8.9 interpreter (usr/bin/python3). When the code runs, the application ends up looking like this.
Additionally, when I run the code the terminal reads the following:
DEPRECATION WARNING: The system version of Tk is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Please don't rely on it. Set TK_SILENCE_DEPRECATION=1 to suppress this warning.
How is it possible for me to fix this error? Or update my global Tkinter version without straying away from Python 3.8.9. Furthermore if any more info is needed I’ll be happy to provide, sorry I’m new to this stuff
Packages used in the app:
tkinter, Pillow, tkmacosx
One last thing, when I get rid of all mentions of the package Tkmacosx, the app appears like this:
Answers:
If you have Homebrew installed, you can update tk with:
brew uninstall tcl-tk --devel
brew install tcl-tk
Which is the recommended option
Then you may need to add export PATH="/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/bin:$PATH" to your .zshrc file:
If you are using a zsh terminal:
Use:
echo "# For tkinter
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/bin:$PATH"" >> ~/.zshrc
Or if you are using a bash terminal:
echo "# For tkinter
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/bin:$PATH"" >> ~/.bashrc

I have python 3.10.6 installed via pyenv, pyenv installed via homebrew.
(Uninstall with –devel does not work)
- installing tcl-tk with homebrew and reinstalling python 3.10.6 with pyenv, makes the python installation use the homebrew version of tcl-tk and after this IDLE works fine.
% brew install tcl-tk
% pyenv install 3.10.6
% python
>>> import idlelib.idle
