In Ubuntu, I tried to invoke IDLE



$ python3 -m idlelib
** IDLE can't import Tkinter.
Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **


How shall I solve the problem?



I attempted to install idle by sudo apt-get install idle, but after that, running idle will invoke a shell for Python2.7 not for Python3.



Thanks.

          IDLE 3 is an Integrated Development Environment for Python 3.x. IDLE 3 is written using Tkinter and therefore quite platform-independent. To install idle3 in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:



          sudo apt-get install idle3 


          Then the command python3 -m idlelib will work open IDLE 3 successfully.



          To install IDLE for both Python 2.x and Python 3.x open the terminal and type:



          sudo apt-get install idle idle3
