📋 Q&A

I'm using a Mac, why does the application sometimes not respond when I click on it?

The issue affects macOS Sonoma users running applications that use Tcl/Tk versions 8.6.12 or older, including various Python versions.
When the mouse cursor is inside the Tkinter window during startup, GUI elements become unresponsive to clicks.

Solution:
Update to Tcl/Tk version 8.6.13 or newer, which fixes this problem.

For Python users, this can be done by:
Using Python 3.11.7 or later, which bundles the fixed Tcl/Tk version.
Using Python 3.12 or later, which already includes the fix.
https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/

For other Python versions, installing Tcl/Tk 8.6.13+ separately (e.g., via Homebrew) and ensuring Python uses this version.

Here is the issue: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/110218

ImportError: No module named 'Tkinter'

This probably happens because the Tk library is not installed.

For Ubuntu or other distros with Apt:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

For Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3-tkinter

For macOS:

brew install python-tk

For Windows:

make sure to check in the Python install the optional feature "tcl/tk and IDLE".
