Newbie: tkinter question

[Attila Pletyak]

Hello,

  I am using Debian Linux 2.2, I've installed python from the deb
packages. I would like to try out the possibilites of tkinter, but the
module tkinter seems to be missing from my computer. Python is 1.5.2,
and when I start it and type "from Tkinter import * " it says that it
cannot find tkinter.

  I looked on the tkinter home page, it routes me to
dev.scriptics.com, but there I cannot really find tkinter.

  Can anybody help me out on what should I do?

  TIA,

  Attila Pletyak
