If it fails with "No module named _tkinter", your Python configuration needs to be modified to include this module (which is an extension module implemented in C). Do not edit Modules/Setup (it is out of date). You may have to install Tcl and Tk (when using RPM, install the -devel RPMs as well) and/or edit the setup.py script to point to the right locations where Tcl/Tk is installed. If you install Tcl/Tk in the default locations, simply rerunning "make" should build the _tkinter extension.
I am guessing that tkinter is still associated with the old python in my pc. How do I change that so python3 can use tkinter?

Instructions for Ubuntu Install Tkinter: apt-get install python-tk (restart after) Install setuptools: sudo apt-get install python-setuptools. Install suds: sudo easy_install suds. Install matplotlib: sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib.
Wikipedia says: "Tkinter is a Python binding to the Tk GUI toolkit. It is the standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit1 and is Python's de facto standard GUI,2 and is included with the standard Windows and Mac OS X install of Python." - Not good, that it isn't included in Ubuntu as well.
The easiest way to fix this problem is by upgrading your python to use python 3. If upgrading python is not an option, you only need to rename your imports to use Tkinter (uppercase) instead of tkinter (lowercase). Output: As a result, this window proves that your python installation includes the Tkinter module.
What worked for me in Ubuntu was actually just:
sudo apt-get install python3-tk For python 3.6:
sudo apt-get install python3.6-tk I didn't read anywhere, I simply tried it, as onteria_'s method didn't seem to work for me.

The answer to your question is that Tkinter is renamed to tkinter in python3
that is with lowercase t
