Some basic questions: how did you install Sage, and what OS are you using? Also, does tkinter work with your system's Python?

I installed my sage from the siteweb, and i have windows 8.1, and yeah i already use tkinter with python 3 and it works perfectly

Does sage -pip install pytk solve your problem?

@dsejas That won't help. The Windows version currently does not include tkinter or tcl/tk. Depending on your use case you might find it useful instead to use interactive widgets in a Jupyter notebook using interacts: http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/prep/...

The Python used by Sage may have or lack a tkinter module, depending on the platform and on how Sage was installed.

On macOS, if one installs Sage from the binaries on the Sage website, this will not be the case, but the "Topology of 3-manifolds" group provides a script to enable openssl and tkinter for an existing Sage on macOS, see

I wonder if there would be a way to similarly come up with a way to optionally enable tkinter for an existing Sage on Windows.
