Hello everyone,

I'm trying to tackle school coursework requiring me to use the Tkinter library. Initially, anything I would attempt to display would result in a black screen. After consulting with ChatGPT, and reinstalling python and tcl-tk via homebrew I now receive this error :

 ~ % python3 -m tkinter

   import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter'

These are the versions of python I'm using :

~ % which python3

/opt/homebrew/bin/python3

~ % python3 --version

Python 3.13.0

brew install tcl-tk

Warning: tcl-tk 9.0.0_1 is already installed and up-to-date.

MAC OS : 15.0.1 (24A348)

If anyone has any suggestions on how I could solve this error please let me know.

I am new to Tkinter and gui coding and facing an error with it on my Mac in Visual Studio Code. When I am trying to run my code, the window does not show anything (for example the colour).

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()  #
root.title("Tk Example")
root.configure(background="yellow")
root.minsize(200, 200)  
root.maxsize(500, 500)
root.geometry("300x300+50+50")  

root.mainloop()

Thanks for any Help
