Install tkinter for Python
Question: I am trying to import Tkinter. However, I get an error stating that Tkinter
has not been installed:

> ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package

I could probably install it using synaptic manager (can I?), however, I would
have to install it on every machine I program on. Would it be possible to add
the Tkinter library into my workspace and reference it from there?


Answer: It is not very easy to install Tkinter locally to use with system-provided
Python. You may build it from sources, but this is usually not the best idea
with a binary package-based distro you're apparently running.

It's safer to `apt-get install python-tk` on your machine(s). (Works on
Debian-derived distributions like for Ubuntu; refer to your package manager
and package list on other distributions.)
