[Tutor] tkinter in Python 3

[Michael Thomas]

I'm trying to move a Python 2.x program to Python 3.x. When I try to import
tkinter I get the error message that no module _tkinter can be found. I've
tried sudo apt-get install python-tk. While this command works, there is no
difference in the result. This problem has only cropped up after I changed
to Ubuntu 15.04. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mike

I am trying to download a version of Pygame that is compatible with Python
2.7.10; when I try to run a simple program, I get an error message stating
that terms like "livewires", "Sprite", "pygame", and "screen", are
unresolved references, and so I assume that downloading pygame could solve
this problem. However, even after I downloaded it, the same messages still
appear. Might anyone have any alternatives or suggestions?

Thank you very much,
Rohan

While a similar problem it would have been better to start a new thread.
These are quite different problems. However...

Maybe, but the mention of Livewires suggests you may be following
the Michael Dawson book? If so he has download instructions in
the book for a specific copy of Livewires that matches the
code examples. I recommend you use the version he suggests.

Thats the Python2 version

Try

apt-get install python3-tk

Note that there are a lot of changes in Tkinter in Python 3,
the modules are drastically rearranged and renamed.
Good luck.
