TkMessageBox - No Module

Question

import TkMessageBox

When I import TkMessageBox it displays the messsge 'ImportError: No module named 'TkMessageBox'.

As far as I know im using python 3.3.2 and Tk 8.5.

Am I using the wrong version of python or importing it wrong ?

Any answers would be extremely useful. Alternatively is there something similar in the version i am using?

Solution 1

In Python3.x things have changed a little bit:

   >>> import tkinter
   >>> import tkinter.messagebox
   >>>

I mean what we call tkMessageBox in Python2.x becomes tkinter.messagebox in Python3.x

Solution 2

If you don't want to have to change the code for Python 2 vs Python 3, you can use import as:

try:
    from tkinter import messagebox
except ImportError:
    # Python 2
    import tkMessageBox as messagebox

Then using messagebox as follows will work in either version:

messagebox.showerror("Error", "Message.")

Solution 3

In Python 2.x, to import, you'd say import tkMessageBox. But in Python 3.x, it's been renamed to import tkinter.messagebox.

Hope it helped :))

Solution 4

for python 3.x

import tkinter

import tkinter.messagebox

... so you can invoke like: tkinter.messagebox.showinfo("Congratulations", "You won!")
