ImportError: No named '_tkinter', please install the python3-tk package

I am new to Ubuntu and Linux in general.
I created a dual boot OS on my laptop (Windows 10 and Ubuntu).
- Typing:
sudo apt-get install python3-tk(or evenpython-tk) didn't work. - Trying to install the
python3-devorpython-devel(no luck). - Downloading Tcl and Tk to manually install.
In Windows 10 Bash Subsystem the Tk and Tcl are already included, so I thought Ubuntu already had it. But, I want to use my Ubuntu desktop to develop Python GUI apps.
So, how can I install the Tcl/Tk to be use in Python 3.5 for GUI development?
I loaded Python 3.5.2 fine but need the GUI modules enabled.
The code to test that Tk is working is:
- Type
python3
Type:
import tkinter
tkinter._test()
Result: a GUI pop-up displaying
This is a Tcl/Tk version..

" I loaded Python 3.5.2" - how exactly? if you are running a manually installed python then installing system python packages with apt-get is unlikely to help

I saw that your answer to your own question is to compile Tcl/Tk from source but I don't think that is needed unless you manually installed Python, i.e., without using the Apt package manager. Can you clarify if you had installed Python manually? Installingpython3-tkand then running the Python code you provided works on my system Python 3.

A note -- for a python 3.6 virtual environment with a system python 3.5 , I had to install;
sudo apt-get install python3.6-tk
My default python in ubuntu was 3.5, so when using a venv for 3.6, I would get an import error. Drove me crazy for a while.
[Edit: In response to Elders very reasonable request]
The repository for python3.6-tk (in my case) was the same for that of python 3.6
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
The aforementioned repository has the python3.6-tk package available for both xenial and trusty as well as the very recently released Python 3.7.0 beta 2 release.
However, this answer will be dated once 3.6+ is mainstream on Ubuntu as I suspect it will be in the main repository.

This might be interesting when installing from source (which most python users won't):
After installing tcl and tk.
Go back to your version of Python, do make. And, if multiple version of python exist, do a make altinstall.
- Open Python3.5
type:
import tkinter
tkinter._test()
results OK - pop GUI opened and working as expected.

This might be interesting when installing from source (which most python users won't):
After installing tcl and tk.
Go back to your version of Python, do make. And, if multiple version of python exist, do a make altinstall.
- Open Python3.5
type:
import tkinter
tkinter._test()
results OK - pop GUI opened and working as expected.

-1 This will not be relevant to most people as most will install via package manager rather than from source.

" I loaded Python 3.5.2" - how exactly? if you are running a manually installed python then installing system python packages with apt-get is unlikely to help

I saw that your answer to your own question is to compile Tcl/Tk from source but I don't think that is needed unless you manually installed Python, i.e., without using the Apt package manager. Can you clarify if you had installed Python manually? Installing
python3-tkand then running the Python code you provided works on my system Python 3.– edwinksl
