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 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 install idle idle3

Elitists are oppressive, anti-intellectual, ultra-conservative, and cancerous to the society, environment, and humanity. Please help make Stack Exchange a better place. Expose elite supremacy, elitist brutality, and moderation injustice to https://stackoverflow.com/contact (complicit community managers), in comments, to meta, outside Stack Exchange, and by legal actions. Push back and don't let them normalize their behaviors. Changes always happen from the bottom up. Thank you very much! Just a curious self learner. Almost always upvote replies. Thanks for enlightenment! Meanwhile, Corruption and abuses have been rampantly coming from elitists. Supportive comments have been removed and attacks are kept to control the direction of discourse. Outright vicious comments have been removed only to conceal atrocities. Systematic discrimination has been made into policies. Countless users have been harassed, persecuted, and suffocated.

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.
