While runnning a python file in my pod, I encounter a ModuleNotFound Error for tkinter

[winged hill]

I have installed tkinter using pip and through apt-get install python3-tk . Still getting the error. I don't care about the gui as much as I care that my application completes (the application results are independent of gui tools). What can I do?

Would need to know more details

[balmy ruin]

maybe its using venv, and yes give more details on your problem like logs on the error and explain more

[winged hill]

Thanks for the reply folks, I cant find gpus for my pod yet, let me create the issue and send the exact error logs and the steps I followed to run it.
In the meantime, what details should I include?
I am planning show the list of packages I installed, the order of installation, and the name of my pod's template. Also the error log, obviously. Anything else which would help you?

What's the error

What command did you run

Lastly what do you expect

Should I comment out the plt.figure() line?

[balmy ruin]

Maybe you're using venv, and forgot to activate it before installing pip package

[balmy ruin]

sure if thats okay

nvm

[winged hill]

Hi, no I wrote a script to pip install all the dependencies, instead of installing them through a venv (the file is built for anaconda)

[winged hill]

cool I will try that. Can we not plot any figures in general in a pod? Like, even if I try, will it always give an error? Or can I simply skip the plotting and run the rest of my code

[balmy ruin]

Running python -m tkinter from the command line should open a window demonstrating a simple Tk interface, letting you know that tkinter is properly installed on your system, and also showing what version of Tcl/Tk is installed, so you can read the Tcl/Tk documentation specific to that version.

no need to install it. It is usually preinstalled by default. Make sure you
write tkinter correctly** (with capital letter T on versions less than python 3)**
while importing

Wait what python version are you using?

[winged hill]

I ran the command python -m tkinter . I got this error /usr/bin/python: No module named tkinter

[balmy ruin]

python -m Tkinter

try that

[winged hill]

Python 3.8.19

[winged hill]

Same
/usr/bin/python: No module named Tkinter

[balmy ruin]

sudo apt-get install python3.8-tk

try

[winged hill]

Ok, it will install in all probability, but I will have to run my program to check if it fails. Let me get back in 2 mins

Yes, it installed correctly

[balmy ruin]

Hmm? what do you mean

python -m pip install module

or if it doesnt works try

[winged hill]

Hi, this seems to have changed the error message, but the import error still persists

Can we actually see any guis using the pods? Or is it purely a command line interface?

[winged hill]

I think comment out the line plt.figure() shown in this error log helped. I dont see an error, and hopefully my training goes through

[balmy ruin]

How about this?

[balmy ruin]

Hmm it cna be a gui but yeah ssh needs specific software too

[winged hill]

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement module (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for module
WARNING: There was an error checking the latest version of pip.

[winged hill]

oh can you recommend what software will allow this? I am using vscode, and connecting using a regular ssh command. Does it need anything specific?

[balmy ruin]

No i don't, search it up

[balmy ruin]

Change the module

[winged hill]

Oh

Still nothing

[winged hill]

I edited tkinter and Tkinter in place of module, but got the same error

[winged hill]

Can you help me with this?

[balmy ruin]

Hmm try searching your problem up on Google, I can't seem to find the solution yet hahah

What is ur gui for?

[balmy ruin]

There is some templates for gui desktop like ubuntu

Try searching on explore page on runpod

[winged hill]

Ok Cool, will do! For now I have generated all the GUI figures and plots, I'll try to view them locally on my system. I'll definitely look it up. Thanks for your help!
