Problem
Under Manjaro I wanted to use the turtle module but I got this error:
File "square.py", line 1, in <module>
import turtle
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/turtle.py", line 107, in <module>
import Tkinter as TK
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in <module>
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution
sudo pacman -S tk
Ubuntu 14.04
I had the same problem under Ubuntu when I tried to use matplotlib on a remote server.
sudo apt install python3-tk
