Why tkinter not working properly for python when file run with terminal in mac

Question

I'm using tkinter to build gui with my mac.normally I'm using python IDLE to run and test the code. I created a new file with .py extension and run it. it works properly. this is the code.

from tkinter import *

mywin  = Tk();
mywin.title("window for mac")

This works fine

Then I tried to run the file using terminal and tried to launch the file with python launcher.at that time it gives following error

  File "check.py", line 1, in <module>
    from tkinter import *
    ImportError: No module named tkinter

my python version is Python 2.7.10. some says it is corruption on python. I tried to install python with home-brew also.but didn't get any result.

Maybe MAC used python version 2.X and idle run with 3.X. Try on terminal python3 blahblah.py — dsgdfg

No module named tkinter is python2.X error ! No module named Tkinter is python3.X error. Are you sure ? — dsgdfg

Idle and Terminal python version are different ! Need using same version of Python.

No module named tkinter is python2.X error ! No module named Tkinter is python3.X error.
