Tktable module installation problem. _tkinter.TclError: invalid command name "table"

Question

This problem has been reported earlier but I couldn't find the exact solution for it. I installed ActiveTCL and downloaded tktable.py by " Guilherme Polo <ggpolo@gmail.com> " to my site-packages , also added Tktable.dll , pkgindex.tcl , and tktable.tcl from ActiveTCL\\lib\\Tktable2.11 to my python38-32\\tcl and dlls . I also tried setting the env variable for TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY to tcl8.6 and tk8.6 respectively. But I am still getting invalid command name "table" .

What is that I am missing? Those who made tktable work on windows 10 and python 3 , how did you do it? I am out of ideas and would be grateful for some tips on it.

Answer 1

Seems like there was problem running the Tktable dlls in python38-32 bit version. It worked in 64 bit version. Thanks @Donal Fellows for your input.
