%paste magic function on ipython3
I'm using ipython3
, installed on Ubuntu with apt-get
. I can't use the paste magic function, it complains about missing Tkinter
. But I do have Tkinter
and the same thing works fine on ipython (2). What gives?
Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:16)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 0.13.1.rc2 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

In [1]: %paste
ERROR: Getting text from the clipboard on this platform requires Tkinter.
Solution 1:
minrk comment got me on the right track, and I've fixed it with the following package.
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
Solution 2:
To be extra clear: wim's answer also works for python2.7, to cover all versions simply run:
sudo apt-get install python-tk
