Hello, new to Solus & have question ...

Solmann

I like it a lot and I have been using Pycharm and Tkinter for a couple of months.
I thought that I would try Solus 4.3 Mate.

My question is, how to get tkinter installed and working in Pycharm?
Tkinter shows it being installed when in Pycharm, but always get an error on tk.

By the way I am relatively new to Linux.

Just download the Pycharm tar.gz package from this page. Unzip and run pycharm.sh which is in the bin directory, in the terminal .
Tkinter sudo eopkg it python3-tkinter. python -m Tkinter

pomon Just download the Pycharm tar.gz package from this page

We have PyCharm in our Third Party Repository by the way.

No joy!

python -m Tkinter shows import python error: 'No module named _tkinter'

Are you sure you installedpython3-tkinter? Check if you have tk installed and install python-tkinter.

After three migraines (lol) I finally got this issue fixed.
The following command solved my issue:

xrdb -all -query|sed -e 's#[A-Z]BACKGROUND# gray90#' \
-e 's#[A-Z]FOREGROUND# Black#' \
-e 's#[A-Z]HIGHLIGHT# White#' \
-e 's#[A-Z]LOWLIGHT# Black#'|xrdb -merge

Command is from here:

Kudos to Daniel-at-github!

I think that I have fallen in love with Solus 4.3 Mate.

Update:

I have to enter the above command in terminal every time I boot the laptop to get tkinter working.
So I suppose that the Solus developers need to change something somewhere somehow sometime.

Never experience this kind of problem in many other distros.

I re-installed Solus 4.3 Mate and all is okay.

Solmann So your tkinter works after the reinstall?

Solmann

Well I was wrong!!
Pycharm still requires me to use that command after rebooting a couple of times.
Pycharm seems to get confused between Python and Python3 versions which affects which interpreter is used.
I have never had this problem with some other distros that I toyed with.

Are there any Pycharm/Python3/tkinter users here?

Which Pycharm installation should be used, from the software manager or downloaded from the Pycharm webstie??

Solmann Generally you should prefer stuff provided by Solus.
