Why are python packages not installed in my system

Each time I wanna do a project and I try to import libraries, say tkinter, I get an error. I've tried installing them using pip all to no avail, I've searched through google, tried everything I got all to no avail. does anyone here share the same experience with me? I need ur help people!

You do have Python3 on the Path of your system, right? Check the version of Python you are using; in Python 2 it is import Tkinter (with a capital T), So maybe you are running Python 2 not 3

tkinter should be available after you downloaded Python, no need to pip it. On what system have you tried it?

First of all, which os do you use?. If windows pls - check your Python path in windows settings, after try -m pip3 --upgrade pip if error remains, better reinstall python if you use a Linux based on Debian (Ubuntu, Mint and etc) try sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Johnson Owoicho Kelvin On searching, I met a problem about mporting in Pycharm, I don't personally use it, but this is probably a problem in the IDE not Python it self, search for a fix, one more thing, if you want to make sure; open your terminal and write Python, it should open a shell, import any module and press enter.
