_tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tktable

Question

I wanted to run this program posted here http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TkTableCalendar, but to run this I need the tktable wrapper https://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TkTableWrapper, but the wrapper throws an error

File "tktable.py", line 115, in __init__
master.tk.call('package', 'require', 'Tktable')
_tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tktable

I don't understand why it is behaving this way. How to fix this problem?

If you happen to have debian or ubuntu, `apt-get install tk-table` might work. — J.J. Hakala, Jul 18 '16 at 07:55
No, I'm using windows 10 and I need to solve this for windows as I am making a GUI for windows. But I will try using it in ubuntu. — Eular, Jul 18 '16 at 08:03
In case of windows you may have to build [Tktable.dll](http://tktable.sourceforge.net/) yourself — J.J. Hakala, Jul 18 '16 at 08:36
@j.j. hakala after doing what you suggested, it seems to work on Ubuntu, thanks. — Eular, Jul 18 '16 at 08:42
But I don't have any idea how to build the dll. I checked that link before but couldn't figure out much also I downloaded the tktable folder but couldn't configure/make — Eular, Jul 18 '16 at 08:49
Because : Maybe you use `Python3.x`. Check `TkTableWrapper.py` line 35 is `import Tkinter` not `import tkinter`. Throw core error not additional module error ! Use this for both version. https://github.com/Arelle/Arelle/blob/master/arelle/TkTableWrapper.py AND if have't `tktable` install this https://github.com/dossan/tktable — dsgdfg, Jul 18 '16 at 09:16
No im using python 2.7 and I have already checked and used both github file you provided, no luck. — Eular, Jul 18 '16 at 09:41

Download it... Extract file. And open the folder which has been extracted. Open command prompt in same folder and type this command:

python setup.py install

Wait while it is being set up... After doing it try again.

This doesn't help much, since the error message `_tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tktable` refers to Tk module named Tktable. tkintertable is some other Tk related widget. – J.J. Hakala Jul 18 '16 at 08:38
I had already installed this package before posting the question, this doesn't work. – Eular Jul 18 '16 at 08:40

After searching for a long time I found this

http://blog.clintecker.com/post/148453368/tktable-for-tkinter-and-python

which solves my problem.

Now the TkTableCalender.py is running properly.

So the latest version did not have binaries available, but older version had. – J.J. Hakala Jul 18 '16 at 15:17
