ImportError with tkinter – Ubuntu

So I found tutorial about work with GUI in python tkinter
then I try to learn it from w3school, I copied the sample code:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter .ttk import *

root = Tk()
label = Label(root, text="Hello world Tkinket GUI Example ")
label.pack()
root.mainloop()

So, I google how to install tkinter on ubuntu.
I used:

$ sudo apt-get install python-tk python3-tk tk-dev
$ sudo apt-get install python-tk             
$ pip install tk

It’s seem it was successfully but I was wrong..

I get this error

Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

    I believe you only need to use: from tkinter import *

    I’d say get rid of the: from tkinter .ttk import *

    I think you can just remove the line: from tkinter .ttk import *
    I don’t think you need that line to run this code.

    Generally what you want is

    import tkinter as tk  # 'as tk' isn't required, but it's common practice
from tkinter import ttk  # though you aren't using any ttk widgets at the moment...

    I know star imports have a certain appeal, but they can lead to namespace pollution which is a huge headache!

    For example lets say I’ve done the following:

    from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *

root = Tk()
label = Label(root, text='Hello!')

    is Label a tkinter widget or a ttk widget?
    Conversely…

    import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

root = tk.Tk()
label = ttk.Label(root)

    Here, it’s clear that label is a ttk widget.
    Now everything is namespaced appropriately, and everyone’s happy!
