Having trouble with Tkinter in PyCharm edu

I've had trouble importing the Tkinter library. When I do it on IDLE, it works fine, and the Tkinter window pops up. However, using the same code, i tried it on PyCharm, and nothing happens. All i see is  "Process finished with Exit code 0"

Here is my code:

from tkinter import *
window = Tk()

As you can see, I'm trying to get a blank Tkinter window to pop up.

I'd like to know if it's something wrong with my code, or if Tkinter simply doesn't work on PyCharm.

Thanks!

Sorry for the bad explanation, I am a beginner in python.

Hello! You will get the same result if you run your script with the same interpreter in OS Terminal (command line) so the problem is not PyCharm-related.

Please see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8683217/when-do-i-need-to-call-mainloop-in-a-tkinter-application.

Does PyCharm mark tkinter import as unresolved or are there any other errors? Could you provide a code sample?

#Delete python2 in Ubuntu terminal first. Than ilstall a python3.

sudo su

apt-get remove python-tk -y

apt-get remove python -y

apt-get install python3 -y

apt-get install python3-tk -y

reboot

#Check is there a python3 interpreter select in the IDE settings 'Project'->'Project Interpreter'.

#Select folfer '/usr/bin/python3' manually.

#

#test on the IDE

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.mainloop()

#Now you have to see a window.

#You're welcome!

I have similar problem on

PyCharm Community Edition 2017.2.3
Build #PC-172.3968.37, built on September 1, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-915-b11 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Windows 10 10.0

It gets same 'resolve' issue then i'm trying import it from IDE:

import tkinter as tk

top = tk.Tk()
<my windows ID>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe <my windows ID>/PycharmProjects/tkinter/tkinter.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<my windows ID>/PycharmProjects/tkinter/tkinter.py", line 1, in <module>
    import tkinter as tk
  File "<my windows ID>\PycharmProjects\tkinter\tkinter.py", line 4, in <module>
    top = tk.Tk()
AttributeError: module 'tkinter' has no attribute 'Tk'

But if I try to import tkinter from pycharm console it works fine 

Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul 8 2019, 19:29:22) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
import tkinter as tk

tk.__doc__
'Wrapper functions for Tcl/Tk...

How this magic works?
