I am trying to use tktable with Python on Windows and am getting the notorious "tktable isn't loaded statically" error. I read the comments available on the www but could not make it work.

It is clear, that my installation can not find the Tktable files. But how can I tell it where to find them ? (I am not a Tcl programmer).

I am using python 2.6 on windowsXP: I can see the Tkinter wrapper in C:\Python26\Lib\lib-tk\tktable.py the tcl is in: C:\Python26\tcl\tk8.5\tkTable.tcl and under C:\Python26\DLLs I have 2 dlls: tcl85.dll and tk85.dll there is no tktable.dll but I assume it should be in the tk85.dll ???

Hi Harm, First, I don't remember if tktable's cvs contains the very latest version of the python tktable wrapper. So, I recommend to get the one from http://tkinter.unpy.net/wiki/TkTableWrapper (which is the latest version in tktable's cvs plus minor fixes). With this wrapper all you have to do is set the environment variable TKTABLE_LIBRARY to point to the directory that contains the tktable tcl package -- if it is not in any standard directory --. I also don't remember if there is a windows binary for tktable. Last time I used tktable on Windows I grabbed the tcl/tk distribution from activestate which includes it and many other libraries.

I thought I could simply modify the wrapper to point to the tcl:    def __init__(self, master=None, **kw):        master = _setup_master(master)        try:            master.tk.call('package', 'require', 'Tktable')        except Tkinter.TclError:            try:                master.tk.call('load', 'tkTable.dll', 'Tktable')            except Tkinter.TclError:                master.tk.call('load','C:\\Python26\\tcl\\tk8.5\\tkTable.tcl', 'Tktable')                #master.tk.call('load', '', 'tkTable') But that does not work either.

Anybody using tkTable on windows: How did you do it ? I guess I have to modify the TCL standard path to make it find the tcl or DLL but not having any TCL experience, I have no idea how to do that from python.

Regards,

HK
