At least one user didn't have tkinter on their system. They were running ubuntu 18.04.

Need to write up instructions on how to install tkinter.

Problem was described in this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/97wb6t/a_singleline_custom_gui/

It appears there's a problem when following the instructions on installing tkinter.

I see. I still think people should get their Python installation in order by themselves. It should be sufficient if you state the tkinter dependency.

I am also aware that some Python installations cannot use GUIs at all on some systems. This is e.g. the case for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) - which I am using as well. However, some smart guys are underway resolving this one, too.

Agreed... closing this one. Links noted for the future should someone ask.
