Since you mention synaptic I think you re on Ubuntu  You probably need to run update-python-modules to update your Tkinter module for Python 3   EDIT  Running update-python-modules  First  make sure you have python-support installed   sudo apt-get install python-support   Then  run update-python-modules with the -a option to rebuild all the modules   sudo update-python-modules -a   I cannot guarantee all your modules will build though  since there are some API changes between Python 2 and Python 3
