How to install tkinter in pycharm

Question

I am trying to install tkinter in pycharm but I am not able to find the module. I went to settings, project interpreter. Searched for “tkinter”,”Tkinter”, and “python-tk” but couldn’t find it. Can someone tell me how to install tkinter in pycharm?

Comments

Thanks very much

Answer 1

Ya, this is a problem with installing tkinter on pycharm. You don’t have a tkinter module like you use while using pip. To install tkinter in Pycharm, install the module “future” and restart pycharm. Tkinter will be imported.

Thanks. Help me so much.

I installed "future" module in pycharm but still I get and error:  module not found:no module named tkinter

---

Was the "future" module successfully installed? I think it wasn't. Because ideally, installing that module should solve the problem.

---

something similar happended to me. i installed future and i saw it say that it was successfully installed. Then, i restarted pycharm. but still i found no tkinter module.

---

Hey,

Are you getting any error out of that?

---

but how to install the module future

---

Hi, @Rais,

To install the latest stable version, type:

pip install future

I hope this works.

---

Hi, 

I installed "future" module in pycharm. To access tkinter use:

from future.moves import tkinter

If it don't work for you, search where tkinter lies in "future" package using cmd:

$ find . -name "*tkinter*"

and import accordingly.

Hi, @Ritesh,

You can try this to install the future module. Future is a module that aids in conversion between Python 2 and 3

pip3 install future

or

pip install -U future

i had install future module but i'm not getting the new window and there is also no error. Can someone help me..

Hi, @Nitesh

from random import randint
from time import sleep
md2=randint(1,30)
def gentree():
    print("\033c")
    for x in range(1.30,2):
        md1=randint(1,md2)
        if x==1:
            ch="$"
        elif md1%4==0:
            ch="0"
        elif md1%3==0:
            ch="i"
        else:
            ch="*"
        print("{i^33}".format_map(ch*x))
    print("{i^33}".format("|||"))
    print("{i^33}".format("|||"))
    sleep(.75)

can you please explain this code? How is it related to installing tkinter in pycharm?

Answer 3

In your PyCharm project, go to File > Settings > Project > Project Interpreter. If you used virtualenvwrapper or PyCharm to create the env, then it should show up in the menu. If not, click the gear, choose Add Local, and locate the Python binary in the env. PyCharm will display all the packages in the selected env.

Tkinter is installed by default. If python or Tkinter is not installed, install Python 2.7 from http://www.python.org. Tkinter is installed by default. Test by typing python at the terminal and then import Tkinter.

Answer 4

Make sure you use the right import statement for your version of Python.

Python 2.7

from Tkinter import *

For Python 3.x

from tkinter import *
