When installing any version of python with pyenv, I can't get tkinter to work. Python install fine but I believe that the files related to tcl-tk are causing issues and python-build either needs to skip the files related in

For instance with python installed from pyenv in any manner of way:

env CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib"  pyenv install --verbose 3.7.4

env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib"  PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" pyenv install --verbose 3.7.4

env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" pyenv install --verbose 3.7.4

etc.

and then trying to use tkinter from that python:

python -m tkinter -c 'tkinter._test()'

    % (_tkinter.TK_VERSION, tk_version))

Looking at the log does it matter that the tcl-tk stuff that is included with macosx is included before the brew ones?

For why I think it has to do with pyenv/python-build, the brew installed python 3 works with tkinter /usr/local/bin/python3 -c 'import tkinter; tkinter._test()'

In my case, in the verbose log of pyenv I get the following error when trying to build tkinter.

clang: warning: -framework Tk: 'linker' input unused [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
In file included from /private/var/folders/0f/0723vl7935166wxgzrtcm3vw0000gn/T/python-build.20190719020206.17065/Python-2.7.16/Modules/_tkinter.c:71:

Interesting thing is: it works without problem with python 3.5.7, but not with 2.7.16. In fact, in both cases I uninstalled the corresponding python and reinstalled it after brew install tcl-tk. With python3 it worked, but not with python2.7.16.

sartorg commented 5 years ago

Ok, a comment on my previous comment. I tried to pyenv install 3.7.4 out of curiosity, and it still fails, generating the same error. So, I am not sure what happened in the mean time and why it worked on my 3.5.7 installation. It was a couple of months ago when I did it for the 3.5.7 with success.

sartorg commented 5 years ago

Ok, the problem was actually quite clear from my error log. pyenv looks for tk inside the macos sdk, while it should look into the brew installation, if existent, pretty much like it works with zlib. I believe this should be fixed in pyenv. A temporary fix is to run: CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix tcl-tk)/include" pyenv install 2.7.16

grahamannett commented 5 years ago

@sartorg I think I had tried that and it didn't work for me. I dont really want to try it again since I ended up editing my python-build file to just have the tcl-tk stuff hard coded.

sartorg commented 5 years ago

@grahamannett Well, if it is just out of curiosity, you can pyenv install another random python version (like 3.7.3) and delete if afterwards. If you are willing to do that, could you post the verbose log of the lines when it tries to compile Tk? Also, what brew --prefix tcl-tk returns for you? In any case, I am happy you solved it!

illegalnumbers commented 5 years ago

I am also seeing this.

tcarroll2 commented 5 years ago

When installing python 3.7.4 using pyenv, why doesn't pyenv use tcl-tk from homebrew like it does for openssl and readline? There should be a way to force pyenv to check for a brew installation of tcl-tk and if it exists then use it.

I just ran this and I get /usr/local/opt/tcl-tk

I'm going to try your suggested CFLAGS and see if that works on my 10.14.6 system.

@sartorg I tried installing like this (using install 3.7.4) and I still get iMac:~ carroll$ python -m tkinter -c 'tkinter._test() Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/carroll/.pyenv/versions/3.7.4/lib/python3.7/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main "main", mod_spec) File "/Users/carroll/.pyenv/versions/3.7.4/lib/python3.7/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/Users/carroll/.pyenv/versions/3.7.4/lib/python3.7/tkinter/main.py", line 7, in main() File "/Users/carroll/.pyenv/versions/3.7.4/lib/python3.7/tkinter/init.py", line 3988, in _test root = Tk() File "/Users/carroll/.pyenv/versions/3.7.4/lib/python3.7/tkinter/init.py", line 2025, in init self._loadtk() File "/Users/carroll/.pyenv/versions/3.7.4/lib/python3.7/tkinter/init.py", line 2040, in _loadtk % (_tkinter.TK_VERSION, tk_version)) RuntimeError: tk.h version (8.6) doesn't match libtk.a version (8.5)

My log file of the install of 3.7.4 shows the brew installation of tcl-tk is being pulled in. pyenv.log

This is becoming maddening!

tcarroll2 commented 5 years ago

Finally! After all of this, I got it to install! Whew! Here's what I did so it may help others:

PyEnv Python installation steps to get the latest tcl/tk version on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

UPDATED for Mac OS Big Sur on Apple Silicon

install pyenv via homebrew $brew install pyenv

NOTE: As of this update Homebrew will install the Arm version of pyenv in /opt/homebrew/pyenv.

install tcl-tk via home brew $brew install tcl-tk

NOTE: As of this update Homebrew will installs the Arm version of tcl-tk in /opt/homebrew/tcl-tk.

to get tcl-tk 8.6 to work with the pyenv install of python, you must edit the python-build script file. It may be located in one these two locations:

~/.pyenv/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build

or:

/usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.13/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build

NOTE: For the Arm version you will need to edit /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.22/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build

Once you have the script file open, search for: $CONFIGURE_OPTS ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1 and replace with: $CONFIGURE_OPTS --with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6' ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1

NOTE: For the Arm build it will have to read $CONFIGURE_OPTS --with-tcltk-includes='-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/tcl-tk/8.6.11/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/tcl-tk/8.6.11/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6' ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1

install Python 3.7.4 in pyenv $pyenv install 3.7.4

NOTE: For Arm version $pyenv install 3.9.1

set the default python version via the global variable and check it $pyenv global 3.7.4 or $pyenv global 3.9.1 $pyenv version
Add to your .bash_profile to set the pyenv every time you load your shell $echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi' >> ~/.bash_profile
reset your shell $exec "$SHELL"
check your environment $which python $python -V $which pip $pip -V

(check if your pip needs upgrading with $pip install --upgrade pip)
Test your tcl-tk installation with $python -m tkinter -c 'tkinter._test()'

If you don't get any errors when running the above test, your installation should work

grahamannett commented 4 years ago

this should be fixed with #1397. when installing I was using/testing with PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6'" pyenv install 3.7.4

gitfourteen commented 4 years ago

Finally succeed with this method!!!

System info

macOS Catalina 10.15.1, tcl-tk 8.6.9, pyenv 1.2.15, and python 3.7.5.

Some Notes for your reference:

DO NOT brew install python before Step 4 install python in pyenv, as this MacOS homebrew python 3.7.x with tcl-tk did. If installed, uninstall it.
the right path of the python-build should be: /usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.15/plugins~~/python-build~~/bin/python-build
Better insert the additional arguments to the original python-build to keep in one line when editing with vim/vi... --with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6'
if you need to use PyInstaller, which require CPython installation built, the step 4 should be $ env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" pyenv install 3.7.x
Not necessary to set 'pyenv global 3.7.x', can set pyenv local 3.7.x for target directory
in this target directory further use pipenv install to get a virtual env with python 3.7.x, which is OK for tkinter

grahamannett commented 4 years ago

If people are still seeing this and having issues, theres a better PR made that will automatically check for tcl-tk homebrew installed https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/pull/1409

I don't know what the similar way to do this for linux related installs would be but hopefully it's merged at some point? If someone can explain how to create and test this issue in a linux distro, I would be happy to look into.

Also if someone has an idea for how to test this (as the only way I have been able to reliably tell is something along the lines of python -m tkinter -c 'tkinter._test()' and verifying the popup box), please let me know!

zjhmale commented 4 years ago

@grahamannett works for me, thx!

sri0sharma commented 4 years ago

@grahamannett, thanks much for your post. I spent quite a bit of time, failing and failing again, and then I finally succeeded. For others who are novice like me, I am listing the steps I took to successfully install tcl-tk and IDLE to work in MacOS Catalina (10.15.3). It's mostly yours, with a few additional in between.:

ran $brew install pyenv Output: Warning: pyenv 1.2.16 is already installed and up-to-date To reinstall 1.2.16, ran brew reinstall pyenv /usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.16: 671 files, 2.5MB
ran $brew install tcl-tk

Output: tcl-tk 8.6.10 is already installed and up-to-date To reinstall 8.6.10, run brew reinstall tcl-tk

Output after brew reinstall tcl-tk: tcl-tk is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local, because tk installs some X11 headers and macOS provides an (older) Tcl/Tk.

If you need to have tcl-tk first in your PATH run: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc (I added it to ~/.zshrc as the first line)

For compilers to find tcl-tk you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include" (I added these two to ~/.zshrc, too, after adding the above)

For pkg-config to find tcl-tk you may need to set: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib/pkgconfig" (I added this to ~/.zshrc, too, after adding the above)

To get tcl-tk 8.6 to work with the pyenv install of python, I found: /usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.13/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build and replaced the following: $CONFIGURE_OPTS ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1 with: $CONFIGURE_OPTS --with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6' ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1
ran $pyenv install 3.8.1 Installed Python-3.8.1 to /Users/ryan/.pyenv/versions/3.8.1
ran $pyenv global 3.8.1 Refreshed the current terminal and checked by running
$pyenv version output: 3.8.1 (set by /Users/ryan/.pyenv/version)

Ran $python -V output: Python 3.8.1

ran $pip install --upgrade pip (since I had previously already installed pip using $pip install) output: Successfully installed pip-20.0.2
Tested my tcl-tk installation with $python -m tkinter -c 'tkinter._test()' Output: Tk window popped up. Hit ‘Quit’ to back to Terminal.
Ran $ idle Output: Python 3.8.1 Shell window popped up.

sri0sharma commented 4 years ago

Hi @ivanoats, I am not an expert. I got my python and tck running by trial and error. I campared your files "/Users/ivan/.pyenv/versions/3.8.1/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", "/Users/ivan/.pyenv/versions/3.8.1/lib/python3.8/tkinter/main.py", and "/Users/ivan/.pyenv/versions/3.8.1/lib/python3.8/tkinter/init.py" with mine, and they are exactly the same on the respective lines. The only thing which comes to my mind is the following:

if the step 3 was properly executed: To get tcl-tk 8.6 to work with the pyenv install of python, you must edit the python-build script file. It may be located in one these two locations (I may have gotten this from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28921333/installed-python-3-on-mac-os-x-but-its-still-python-2-7): ~/.pyenv/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build or: /usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.13/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build Once you have the script file open, search for: $CONFIGURE_OPTS ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1 and replace with: $CONFIGURE_OPTS --with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6' ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1
if your ~/.zshrc file is OK? By the way, did you add the following to your ~/.zshrc for python version to work ok: if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then eval "$(pyenv init -)" fi These three are the last three lines in my ~/.zshrc for python version to come out correctly. I do not know if it will resolve your tk.h version problem.

I don't exactly recall, but I had to try a few times, before my steps worked. In fact, I did uninstall my brew and pyenv and did clean install again for these steps to work. Good luck!

This issue was closed, but how was it resolved? I see lots of disparate things that people have done - but which one works?

sri0sharma commented 4 years ago

see @ivanoats comment on this gist at https://gist.github.com/iexa/2ac761bfd96ab78988b76c030d54a5b8:

"FWIW, I tried both the pyenv and the homebrew replacement and only the homebrew replacement really worked. Thank you !"

Basically, you need to do a clean pyenv and homebrew install in the order listed under @sri0sharma at https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/1375.

Good luck!

@grahamannett, thanks much for your post. I spent quite a bit of time, failing and failing again, and then I finally succeeded. For others who are novice like me, I am listing the steps I took to successfully install tcl-tk and IDLE to work in MacOS Catalina (10.15.3). It's mostly yours, with a few additional in between.:
1. ran $`brew install pyenv`
   Output: Warning: pyenv 1.2.16 is already installed and up-to-date
   To reinstall 1.2.16, ran `brew reinstall pyenv`
   /usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.16: 671 files, 2.5MB

2. ran $`brew install tcl-tk`
Output: tcl-tk 8.6.10 is already installed and up-to-date To reinstall 8.6.10, run brew reinstall tcl-tk

Output after brew reinstall tcl-tk: tcl-tk is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local, because tk installs some X11 headers and macOS provides an (older) Tcl/Tk.

If you need to have tcl-tk first in your PATH run: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc (I added it to ~/.zshrc as the first line)

For compilers to find tcl-tk you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include" (I added these two to ~/.zshrc, too, after adding the above)

For pkg-config to find tcl-tk you may need to set: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib/pkgconfig" (I added this to ~/.zshrc, too, after adding the above)
1. To get tcl-tk 8.6 to work with the pyenv install of python, I found:
   /usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.13/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build
   and replaced the following:
   $CONFIGURE_OPTS ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1
   with:
   $CONFIGURE_OPTS --with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6' ${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS} "${!PACKAGE_CONFIGURE_OPTS_ARRAY}" || return 1

2. ran $`pyenv install 3.8.1`
   Installed Python-3.8.1 to /Users/ryan/.pyenv/versions/3.8.1

3. ran $`pyenv global 3.8.1`
   Refreshed the current terminal and checked by running

4. $`pyenv version`
   output: 3.8.1 (set by /Users/ryan/.pyenv/version)
Ran $python -V output: Python 3.8.1
1. ran $`pip install --upgrade` pip (since I had previously already installed pip using $`pip install`)
   output: Successfully installed pip-20.0.2

2. Tested my tcl-tk installation with $`python -m tkinter -c 'tkinter._test()'`
   Output: Tk window popped up. Hit ‘Quit’ to back to Terminal.

3. Ran $ `idle`
   Output: Python 3.8.1 Shell window popped up.

This worked for me with a few small adjustments.

Instead of ~/.zshrc I had to put the export statements into ~/.profile because I'm using bash. The version of pyenv has changed so the path to the pyenv python-build file changed and 1.2.13 needed to be replaced with my version. Lastly I uninstalled the previous version I had installed withpyenv uninstall 3.5.8 and then re-installed.

This solution also works with pipenv which uses pyenv to install python.

elgow commented 4 years ago

The easier way to do this w/o editing homebrew files is provided by the PR described here and the command line to do it is e.g.

PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6'" pyenv install 3.8.3

davedgd commented 4 years ago

Building on @elgow's comment, this also worked for me with no editing of pyenv or .zshrc (including --enable-shared or --enable-framework), albeit with a slight adjustment (mainly adding env to the front of the line):

env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6' --enable-shared" pyenv install 3.8.5

CathyBing commented 4 years ago

I ran into the same problem and I tried everything I can, but it still can't find where the _tkinter module is Finially, this works: brew uninstall pyenv brew install python3 Then, tkinter is perfect to use. Goodbye pyenv.

MagicInsider commented 4 years ago

My nickel into the tkinter on OS X community stash: As you value your life or your reason, keep away from the pyenv. Go conda.

louisabraham commented 3 years ago

I have the same issue on arch: why isn't tkinter compiled with python?

cverrier commented 3 years ago

Thanks a lot for the solution! For people who are following this tutorial, be sure to change to your current pyenv version in the line

/usr/local/Cellar/pyenv/1.2.13/plugins/python-build/bin/python-build

if it is your path for the python-build script.

Hello,

My name is Aarushi Sharma. You may have been trying to contact my father, Srinarayan Sharma. Sadly, he died of COVID-19 pneumonia on April 24th, 2021 and will no longer be able to respond to any emails or complete any requests.

I hope this email hasn’t inconvenienced you too much. I’m really sorry for any complications this may have caused.

Yours, Aarushi Sharma

I made all the modifications in the last comment, thank you @sri0sharma ! but I'm still getting a version mismatch.. any tips?

I've faced the same situation and I finally figured out that I didn't install virtualenv.

After I installed the plugin virtualenv and reinstall the python via pyenv install 3.x.x, everything works as expected.

xshapira commented 1 year ago

I was able to fix it by following these two steps.

Step 1: Installing Necessary System Packages

Using tkinter with pyenv can be tricky due to missing dependencies.

First, let's make sure we have installed the necessary system packages for tkinter.

In most Linux systems, you can install them with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tk-dev

On macOS, you can use Homebrew to achieve the same:

brew install tcl-tk

Step 2: Linking the Correct Tcl/Tk Versions

Next, make sure you link the correct versions of Tcl/Tk when installing Python. pyenv builds Python in your environment, but if you don't have the required dependencies, like the Tk/Tcl libraries, it'll build Python without them.

If the Python version you want to use is already installed on your system, you'll need to uninstall it before proceeding. For example:

pyenv uninstall 3.11.3

When installing a new Python version with pyenv, use the following commands:

For Linux:

sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \
libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev \
xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python-openssl git

env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install <version>

For macOS, after installing tcl-tk with brew:

brew install openssl readline sqlite3 xz zlib

env LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)/lib -L$(brew --prefix readline)/lib -L$(brew --prefix sqlite3)/lib -L$(brew --prefix xz)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib -L$(brew --prefix tcl-tk)/lib" \
CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)/include -I$(brew --prefix readline)/include -I$(brew --prefix sqlite3)/include -I$(brew --prefix xz)/include -I$(brew --prefix zlib)/include -I$(brew --prefix tcl-tk)/include" \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix readline)/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix sqlite3)/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix xz)/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix tcl-tk)/lib/pkgconfig" \
pyenv install <version>

Replace <version> with the version of Python you want to install. After that, you should be able to import tkinter in your pyenv Python environment.

Note that I couldn't get tkinter to work with pyenv on Python 3.11.0, but it worked perfectly on 3.11.2.

Zwiqler94 commented 1 year ago

Installing tcl-tk and python / following tkdocs works: PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-tcltk-includes='-I/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers|-I/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers' --with-tcltk-libs='/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Tcl|/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Tk'" pyenv install 3.11

pyenv / pyenv

pyenv install doesn't work with homebrew installed tcl-tk #1375
