[Bug 2093393] Re: python3 contains turtle.py without python3-tk installed

[Stefano Rivera]

I swear I've seen this bug filed somewhere else before, but I can't find
it.

The turtle module would not be a good fit in python3-tk. The rigth thing
to do here is to just emit a more helpful error message.

** Package changed: python3-defaults (Ubuntu) => python3.13 (Ubuntu)

Title:
  python3 contains turtle.py without python3-tk installed

Status in python3.13 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I using python3 without installing python3-tk, 
  the "import turtle" command returns "No module named 'tkinter'" instead of "No module named 'turtle'".

  Here is a transcript:
  $ python3
  Python 3.11.2 (main, Sep 14 2024, 03:00:30) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import turtle
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python3.11/turtle.py", line 107, in <module>
      import tkinter as TK
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

  I suggest that the turtle.py be put into python3-tk, not python3. 
  It is recommended that python3.13 be modified first.
  There is the same issue on Debian, but I always failed to sent email :(
  The familiar issue on Windows has been fixed: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/126176
