I've installed Python via Homebrew on my Mac.
brew install python After that I checked my Python version as 2.7.11, then I tried to perform
import Tkinter I got following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in <module> import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: No module named _tkinter

Tkinter is the de facto way in Python to create Graphical User interfaces (GUIs) and is included in all standard Python Distributions. In fact, it's the only framework built into the Python standard library.
Tkinter comes pre-installed with the Python installer binaries for Mac OS X and the Windows platform. So if you install Python from the official binaries for Mac OS X or Windows platform, you are good to go with Tkinter. For Debian versions of Linux you have to install it manually by using the following commands.
The tkinter package (“Tk interface”) is the standard Python interface to the Tcl/Tk GUI toolkit. Both Tk and tkinter are available on most Unix platforms, including macOS, as well as on Windows systems.
I am running MacOS Big Sur (11.2.3).
With python2, I have Tkinter built-in.
With python3, it has to be installed manually and it's very simple, just run:
$ brew install python-tk To run python2 in a terminal, execute python file.py.
To run python3 in a terminal, execute python3 file.py.
