pyenv python 3.8.1

error: when importing tk on pyenv global 3.8.1 i get this error

import tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/divine/.pyenv/versions/3.8.1/lib/python3.8/tkinter/init.py", line 36, in <module>
import tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'
import tkinter as tk
Traceback (most recent call last):

import tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

things i tried in order to trouble shoot :
sudo eopkg it -c system.devel
sudo eopkg install git gcc make zlib-devel bzip2-devel readline-devel sqlite3-devel openssl-devel tk-devel
i've also installed python3-tkinter & tk-devel, i've tried different things trying to get this to work with no sucess,
im coding a program and a requirement for it is to be coded on python version 3.8.1 so i needed to use pyenv

I had the same problem with every python installation made with pyenv. Here it is what works for me:

On the system, install the missing library for properly build tk
$ sudo eopkg install libx11-devel
Then you can install a python version with pyenv
$ pyenv install --verbose 3.8.4
And that's it, if you have any problem at least you can look at the log (that's why I use --verbose)
