How do I import TKinter to python if I use VS code?

I'm trying to import Tkinter into Python using VS code

I've already used the from Tkinter import * command but it seems to do nothing once I run it

Am I running it in the wrong place? Have I misspelt something? Are there more commands I need to run?

(I'm using Python 3.12.0 on Windows 10)

Solution

A few things:

The module name is tkinter, not Tkinter (these names are case-sensitive)
Just running the code from tkinter import * won't cause anything noticeable to happen. You've imported tkinter, but you haven't done anything else with it.

Here's a very minimal example tkinter app that will pop up a window with some text on it

# this is the typical way to import tkinter; star imports should be avoided
import tkinter as tk  

# "instantiate" the Tk class - this is your main app instance
root = tk.Tk()  # root is just a name, but it's the one most people use
# 'tk' above refers to the alias we gave 'tkinter' in the import statement
# Tk() is the base application class

# the 'geometry' property lets us set the size of our 'root' window
root.geometry('200x100')

# now let's create a 'Label' widget that's a child of our 'root' window
label = tk.Label(root, text='Hello!')  # again 'label' is just a name
# 'pack()' is a 'geometry manager'; it tells our app to put this widget on the window
label.pack()

# lastly, to start our app we have to run the 'mainloop()'
root.mainloop()

I recommend following some tkinter tutorials to get started and familiarize yourself with the basic widget classes and the typical structure of a tkinter app.
