error while importing Tkinter in python
<p>I get the following error while importing Tkinter:</p>

<pre><code>Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 11 2011, 11:34:27) 
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
&gt;&gt;&gt; import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in &lt;module&gt;
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
&gt;&gt;&gt; 
</code></pre>

<p>What shall I do? </p>
