After an sudo apt-get upgrade, I get the following error:
Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 23 2017, 16:37:01)

>>> import tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/tkinter/__init__.py", line 36, in <module>
import _tkinter
ImportError: No module named '_tkinter'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/tkinter/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
raise ImportError(str(msg) + ', please install the python3-tk package')
ImportError: No module named '_tkinter', please install the python3-tk package
I have python3-tk installed. I already tried purging and installing it. Doesn't change anything. (Interestingly, the /usr/lib/python3.5/tkinter still existed after pruging... and manually removing it did only lead to another error)
How can I fix this problem?
Did not solve the problem:
$ sudo apt-get install tk8.6-dev
$ sudo apt-get install python3-tkinter # does not exist
$ sudo apt-get install python3-tk # exists and is installed

The python3-tk package has support for python versions 3.6 and 3.7, not 3.5, which is your default. Change your default python to a version supported if your work supports that. Otherwise, if you really need version3.5, you will need to track down the support files.
