Of course... If you know where to look. (I think that's Steven's point in the 'you know that you have to') For a noob getting the error ImportError: No module named Tkinter it may be that - he has not installed tkinter - he has misspelled tkinter - he has misspelled the import statement (yeah then he'll get syntax error or somesuch… being a noob he does not know) I personally know that one can put 'python' in the search box in synaptic and fish around. The point is that the noob to python may be a noob to linux/apt also. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
