[FIXED] Tkinter Import Syntax Error Python

Issue

I am getting an error whenever I try to import the tkinter module. I'm using Python 3.4 so the capital T isn't an issue.

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

root.mainloop()

It throws back an error like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 420, in run_nodebug
  File "<module1>", line 11, in <module>
  File "C:\Python34\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 3372
  t        self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Thanks for the help!

Solution

The problem seems to be somehow existing in the init file itself. Just go to the file in your pc.

C:\Python34\lib\tkinter\__init__.py

Edit that init.py with Idle or whatever IDE you use. Next go to the line number 3372 and remove that unwanted character 't' from the line

 t        self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)

It'll do the work for you.
