The distribution's Python 2.7.6 on Linux Mint 17. After fixing the import 
statements...

$ head ttkcalendar.py
"""
Simple calendar using ttk Treeview together with calendar and datetime
classes.
"""
import calendar

try:
    import Tkinter
    import tkFont
    import ttk
except ImportError: # py3k
    import tkinter as Tkinter
    import tkinter.font as tkFont
    from tkinter import ttk

def get_calendar(locale, fwday):
    # instantiate proper calendar class
    if locale is None:
        return calendar.TextCalendar(fwday)
    else:
$ cat demo.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import calendar

try:
    import tkinter as tk
    from tkinter import ttk
except ImportError:
    import ttk
    import Tkinter as tk

from ttkcalendar import Calendar

def test2():
    import sys
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.title('Ttk Calendar')
    ttkcal = Calendar(firstweekday=calendar.SUNDAY)
    ttkcal.pack(expand=1, fill='both')

    if 'win' not in sys.platform:
        style = ttk.Style()
        style.theme_use('clam')

    root.mainloop()

    x = ttkcal.selection    
    print('x is: {}'.format(x))

test2()

... Python 3.4.3 works, too, as does the most recent compiled-from-source 
version I have lying around,

$ python3.7
Python 3.7.0a0 (default:09d4d47ad210, Jan 31 2017, 22:08:14) 
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux

The underlying tcl is 8.6.
