matplotlib error – no module named tkinter

I tried to use the matplotlib package via Pycharm IDE on windows 10.
when I run this code:

from matplotlib import pyplot

I get the following error:

ImportError: No module named 'tkinter'

I know that in python 2.x it was called Tkinter, but that is not the problem – I just installed a brand new python 3.5.1.

EDIT: in addition, I also tried to import ‘tkinter’ and ‘Tkinter’ – neither of these worked (both returned the error message I mentioned).
