TKinter not found error

The error message:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

may be raised, especially in later versions of python (=>3.10). Tkinter was included in the base python install in previous versions, but in more recent versions is installed with pythonx.x-full.

To fix, either install python3-level via apt:

sudo apt install python3-tk

OR

Install version specific tkinter via apt, where x is the required python version (e.g. sudo apt install python3.10-tk for python3.10):

sudo apt install python3.x-tk

OR

Install the wider python distribution for your version via apt, where x is the version number:

sudo apt install python3.x-full
