ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

seaborn uses tkinter, which I dont have (and probably won't need for this)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "report.py", line 5, in <module> import seaborn as sns File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\seaborn\__init__.py", line 6, in <module> from .rcmod import * File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\seaborn\rcmod.py", line 5, in <module> from . import palettes, _orig_rc_params File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\seaborn\palettes.py", line 12, in <module> from .utils import desaturate, set_hls_values, get_color_cycle File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\seaborn\utils.py", line 11, in <module> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 2349, in <module> switch_backend(rcParams["backend"]) File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 221, in switch_backend backend_mod = importlib.import_module(backend_name) File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\importlib\__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_tkagg.py", line 1, in <module> from . import _backend_tk File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\_backend_tk.py", line 6, in <module> import tkinter as tk ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

indeed, i do get the same error-message:

and subsequent tries to install the suggested package also fail:

Did you untick tk when installing python on windows? It should be part of the standard library.

[joshinils]

no, i used ubuntu 18.04

[SuperSandro2000]

You probably want to install python-tk or python3-tk. You can take a look at https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/python3-tk, too.

[joshinils]

i'm sorry i havent googled why i could not install python-tk, tkinter or as you suggested python3-tk using pip or pip3, using sudo apt install python-tk worked.

but now i still have another isse (#29), but this one is closed for me.
