I am developing using Python Tools for Visual Studio in the Visual Studio 2013 community version on Windows 8.1. My problem is that I cannot start the Tkinter window. I tried using this code:
from tkinter import * Tk()
When I run this code from IDLE and this way I can get the tkinter window as shown:

However, when I run this in Visual Studio, the Tkinter window does not appear, but only the console window. An error does not occur. Example:

How do I get the Tkinter window that appears when a program starts in Visual Studio using Python tools?
Edit: Also, when I try to do this from a Python interactive window in VS, this is what I get without the window appearing:
>>> from tkinter import * >>> Tk() <tkinter.Tk object at 0x02D81FD0>
