[SOLVED] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'global

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'global_state'

For the small project I'm working on, I have to use the package easygui with import easygui. I believe I installed it correctly, but now I'm getting the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'global_state'

From my understanding, it has something to do with easygui. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling easygui for a possible fix, but no luck.

I'm installing version 0.3.5 through Ubuntu.

The traceback of the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Solution

Maybe the problem is with your tkinter; in your python version try to import tkinter:

Python 3.8.10 (default, Jul 14 2021, 03:51:04) 
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tkinter

If something like '_tkinter' not found you have to install tkinter (to have it working properly!) to use easygui. If you are using python2:

sudo apt-get install python-tk

python3:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

And install easygui:

pip install easy_gui
