Does Tkinter work?

I have installed Python 3.2 from: http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter.

Step 3 - does Tkinter work?

Try the following command at the Python prompt:

Tkinter._test() # note underscore in _test. Also, if you are using Python 3.1, try tkinter._test() instead. This should pop up a small window with two buttons.

>>> Tkinter._test
Traceback (most r开发者_StackOverflow社区ecent call last):
  File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
    Tkinter._test
NameError: name 'Tkinter' is not defined

>>> tkinter._test
<function _test at 0x00000000028FD2C8>

However, no 'window with 2 buttons'. Ideas?

Run tkinter._test(). Note the parenthesis.

Use:

tkinter._test()

Note the parentheses - they are imperative when calling a function. It is if you are calling a function with arguments.

To test if a module has imported correctly (this works for any module) try:

import [module name here]
print([module name here])

An example would be:

import tkinter
print(tkinter)

In your sample code, you forgot to include the parentheses after test. Test is, indeed, a function so it needs parentheses:

tkinter._test()
