Error on QSTK.qstkstudy on Python 2.7.3

Question

I am trying to install QSTK on my python 2.7.3. (on windows 10). During the installation, it seemed there was no problem and I did not face any errors. However, when I run the validation.py (here) to check it seems that QSTK.qstkstudu cannot be imported. Here is the error that I get while running validation.py:

QSTK is installed and can be imported

[...]

QSTK.qstkutil is installed and can be imported

File "C:\Python27\lib\site.py", line 372, in __call__

raise SystemExit(code)

SystemExit: Error : QSTK.qstkstudy can not be imported.

Does anyone have a clue what should I do?

Answer 1

The line in Validation.py which produces the error is:

import QSTK.qstkstudy.EventProfiler  

If you try it directly in python, you can see what is missing. In my case it was tkinter.

>>> import QSTK.qstkstudy.EventProfiler

raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'  
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package 

I am on Linux so I did

sudo apt-get python-tk  

Google how to install python tkinter in Windows.

Good luck
