Solution 1

to correct No module named Tkinter and _tkinter

sudo apt-get install tk-dev
cd /Python3.4.1 
./configure
make
sudo make install

Solution 2

Here is a guide:

Start at Zelle’s Python page at http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python/.

The graphics module is listed as *graphics.py. RIGHT-CLICK on the link and then select >Save Link As

On a PC save the link in C:\Python31\Lib\site-packages

On a Mac save the link in

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/site-packages/

On Ubuntu save the link in

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

I need to install graphics.py for class. How do I do that, and how do I install other Python modules?

@user3485632 have you tried running the program without Eclipse? Eclipse is really only decent for Java.

When I use python 2.7 I don't get any errors and inside python2.7/dist-packages I have virtualenv-1.11.6 and inside python3.4/dist-packages I only have graphics.py

-1 for "out of the blue" upstream Python local build. Why is it needed to compile your own Python here? Please clarify.

reinstall python3 really works on my Ubuntu 14.04. I think .configure and install make python3 be configured for Tkinter
