[Osgeo4w-trac] [osgeo4w-dev] [osgeo4w] #569: No module named Tkinter when importing matplotlib

[Frank Broniewski]

Hi,

you don't actually need Tkinter, if you specify

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Qt5Agg')

matplotlib will use QT5 (or qt4 if you're on QGIS 2.x) for displaying graphs

 I am trying to make the following import in python 2.7.5 from OSGeo (x64):

 {{{import matplotlib.pyplot as plt}}}

 and I get the following error report:

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py",

   File "C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\six.py", line 203, in  load_module
     mod = mod._resolve()
   File "C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\six.py", line 115, in  _resolve
     return _import_module(self.mod)
   File "C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\six.py", line 82, in  _import_module
     __import__(name)
 ImportError: No module named Tkinter
 }}}

 I cannot find any {{{Tkinter}}} package in the OSGeo setup package browser  and normally OSGeo is really good at including dependencies.

 My system is Windows 10.
