[Bug 1184082] Re: Slight misleading error message when trying to use tkinter

[Scott Kitterman]

The python3 command is a symlink to the default python3 interpreter,
currently python3.3, so this is an issue with python3.3 and not
python3-defaults.

** Package changed: python3-defaults (Ubuntu) => python3.3 (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: python3.3 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: python3.3 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  Slight misleading error message when trying to use tkinter

Status in “python3.3” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  By default, python3-tk is not installed.

  $ python3 -m tkinter
  /usr/bin/python3: No module named '_tkinter', please install the python-tk package; 'tkinter' is a package and cannot be directly executed

  The package to install for Python 3 is python3-tk rather than python-
  tk.
