tkinter error

[mkresgil]

when trying to run abydraw, after installing using the install.py

python3 abYdraw.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "abYdraw.py", line 7628, in root = tk.Tk()

it raises this error: have tried changing import tkinter as Tk, cannot find a file in directory called tkinter.py.

has anyone had this problem or no a solution?

Hello mkresgil.

I'm afraid I have not had this issue with Tkinter. import tkinter as tk Is the usual syntax to import Tkinter and .Tk() is a function within it. May I ask what version of python you are using? Potentially you could use this code in your terminal to update your version of Tkinter. pip install tk --upgrade Please let me know if this works.

Hello,

the version is 3.6.8, the pip install did not aid in helping.

I will continue to try and see what happens

We have had another report of the same issue on RHEL8. There seems to be a problem with the tkinter package that comes with Python3 on RHEL8 / CentOS8

Find out which version of tkinter you are running. I am running Version 8.6 which includes the Tk command. You can find out simply with this code: import tkinter tkinter.TkVersion If you are running an older version, please see these documents to install the newer versions: https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html

Best, James
