I've already gone through all the similar questions in this regard and tried the solutions proposed there. But I'm unable to get this error sorted out though my python3-tk package is installed in the proper virtualenv that I'm using for my project.
Though in my project, I don't use tkinter, when i try to run the file, I'm getting the following error related to the _tkinter module.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/tkinter/init.py", line 36, in import _tkinter
ImportError: No module named '_tkinter'During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ImportError: No module named '_tkinter', please install the python3-tk package
Hence, I navigated to the location of my interpreter and created a virtualenv and installed the python3-tk package using the following
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
When I checked, all the packages seem to be up to date
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python3-tk is already the newest version (3.6.5-3~16.04.york0.2).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libappindicator1 libindicator7 libllvm4.0 linux-headers-4.10.0-28
linux-headers-4.10.0-28-generic linux-headers-4.13.0-36
linux-headers-4.13.0-36-generic linux-headers-4.13.0-37

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

But I'm still getting the same import error ImportError: No module named '_tkinter', please install the python3-tk package.
Any suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated.

The simplest method to install Tkinter in a Windows environment is to download and install either ActivePython 3.8 or 3.7 from here. Alternatively, you can create and activate a Conda environment with Python 3.7 or greater that is integrated with the latest version of Tkinter.
The Python "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'" occurs when tkinter is not installed in our Python environment. To solve the error, install the module and import is as import tkinter as tk .
Tkinter can be installed using pip. The following command is run in the command prompt to install Tkinter. This command will start downloading and installing packages related to the Tkinter library. Once done, the message of successful installation will be displayed.
When you import matplotlib, it will probably be trying to use the tk backend as the default. If you didn't install tk, or you do not want to use it anywhere else in your project, then a possible solution would be to simply use a different backend:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("agg")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
The message indicates that when you run sudo apt-get install python3-tk it tells you that tkinter is sintalled for Python3.6.5, but on the other hand, the ImportError is related to Python3.5. So I believe this should resolve your problem:
sudo apt-get install python3.5-tk
