[Pydev-users] Problem getting tkinter to be recognized by PyDev

[LUGG, WILLIAM H III GS-13 USAF AFMC 517 SMXS/MXDEC]

I'm using PyDev 3.8.0 (yes, it's a little out of date) in Eclipse Luna (also a little out of date). I'm attempting to learn Python and GUI programming using tkinter, but am having a problem where PyDev is reporting an unresolved import for tkinter. I have included /usr/lib/local/python3.3/tkinter in the Windows | Preferences | Python Interpreters | Libraries | System PYTHONPATH dialog, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Strangely enough, the simple code I've written does run, even with the error reported by Eclipse, but I'm not getting any code completion help or the other benefits of using the IDE with tkinter.

Can someone help me understand how to make this error go away?

Thanks.

You shouldn't need to add /usr/lib/local/python3.3/tkinter to the
PYTHONPATH (only /usr/lib/local/python3.3/ should be there). Have you tried
adding tkinter to the forced builtins? (see:
http://www.pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html for details on 'forced
builtins').

Cheers,

Fabio

Sure enough, I added the string tkinter to the forced builtins section, exited and restarted Eclipse and everything works now.

Thanks for the pointer.

I've got the same type of problem:
see my thread here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.eclipse.plugins.pydev.user/5502

Is the import concerning a .so files?

Maybe look at this thread also on SO:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4631377/unresolved-import-issues-with-pydev-and-eclipse

Let us now if you solve your problem since I'd like to solve mine too...
