How shall I install and invoke IDLE for Python3?
In Ubuntu, I tried to invoke IDLE
$ python3 -m idlelib
** IDLE can't import Tkinter.
Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **How shall I solve the problem?
I attempted to install idle by sudo apt-get install idle, but after that, running idle will invoke a shell for Python2.7 not for Python3.
Thanks.

IDLE 3 is an Integrated Development Environment for Python 3.x. IDLE 3 is written using Tkinter and therefore quite platform-independent. To install idle3 in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install idle3 Then the command python3 -m idlelib will work open IDLE 3 successfully.
To install IDLE for both Python 2.x and Python 3.x open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install idle idle3
