Tkinter with python3 [SOLVED]

Hello
I installed tkinter with

sudo pacman -S tk

.
As a result the module Tkinter is located at  /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py, and everything is fine with python2.7
I am now switching to python3.x and so I cannot use anymore the module Tkinter.
How to intall Tkinter for python3.x ?
Thanks

Re: Tkinter with python3 [SOLVED]

The tkinter integration is part of the python2 and the python package respectively. What does "can't use anymore" mean exactly?

It's likely that the API changed, maybe look at an updated usage tutorial.

Re: Tkinter with python3 [SOLVED]

V1del : thank you
by not working I meant that the import Tkinter  yields ModuleNotFoundError.
But import tkinter works. So apparently two modules exist one for 2, the other for 3.

Re: Tkinter with python3 [SOLVED]

Well yes, that's why they are different and technically incompatible  language versions.
