Problem with python/tkinter: _tkinter.TclError: couldn’t connect to display “0.0”

Hi, I’m new to Fedora and I’m trying to learn Python with tkinter, but I keep receiving an error about unable to connect to Display.
Does anybody know how to solve this?

I used the virtual environment and run the “export DISPLAY=0.0” command in the terminal which I found in some troubleshooting forums on the web, but still have this error message:

_tkinter.TclError: couldn’t connect to display “0.0”

This should not be required as DISPLAY will already be set by your desktop environment.

Also the format you are using is wrong, it would be export DISPLAY=:0.
But as I say it should already be set.
