tkinter is supposed to be installed with standard python, but on my windows 8.1 computer (using enthought Canopy), I get the following error. I just updated everything. 

import tkinter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-4-b98d59735c04> in <module>()
----> 1 import tkinter

ImportError: No module named tkinter

I am going to make my comment into an answer for any future readers.

You are using Python 2.x. In this version, the Tkinter library is named Tkinter, not tkinter. The lowercase tkinter is Python 3.x's name for the library.

Simply replace your import line with:

import Tkinter

and the problem will be solved.

Keep in mind though that this is the Python 2.x library, so some 3.x features will not be available.
