If I play mind-reader for a second, I suspect you're trying to do in Python 3 what you did in Python 2. That won't work -- the Tkinter module layout has completely changed between Python 2 and Python 3. For starters, instead of doing: import Tkinter like you did in Python 2, you need to do import tkinter in Python 3. There are several other changes, like standalone modules that are not subpackages in tkinter (e.g., tkMessageBox is now tkinter.messagebox). To get a more complete list of name changes, you can Google something like "tkinter python 2 to python 3", which will give you a page like this: http://docs.pythonsprints.com/python3_porting/py-porting.html. Personally, I don't bother with that. I have my working Tkinter code from Python 2 and simply look at what the "2to3" module spits out during its conversion. That's often a good way to figure out "how the heck do I do something in Python 3" when you have a script written for Python 2 that works. If that doesn't answer your question, then chances are your Python wasn't built with Tkinter support (like the system Pythons in many Linux distributions). In that case you need to install the appropriate package (depends on your distro). Or if that *still* doesn't answer your question, then provide enough information so that someone can actually figure out what went wrong ;). HTH, Jason
