Bug Description
I have the same issue either upgrading to 'Testing' or to 'Jessie'
I'm using the latest version of Raspian installed with the latest Noobs.
I change the sources list to:
deb http://
or
deb http://
and do the apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade
Just a note here to say that during upgrades it brings up the option to keep config files as are or copy new ones. I choose the default which is keep default.
From the command line I enter:
python3
then
import tkinter
I get the following error:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ python3

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tkinter

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Please let me know if you need any further information
Thanks
