ImportError

ImportErrors occur when the Python Interpreter cannot find the module being imported or a specified submodule. When importing, be aware of case sensitivity and the correct spelling of your module of interest. If the error persists and involves a third-party library, check whether it has been installed successfully and restart the Python Interpreter:

>>> import TKINTER
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named TKINTER
>>> from datetime import Datetime
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name Datetime
# Solution
>>> import Tkinter
>>> from datetime import date
time
