Honestly, I’m still having trouble figuring out how to make the Tktable component for Tkinter work like a spreadsheet in the Tkinter application I’m developing, but I found some interesting information that might make what I had to go through to get to this point easier for someone else in my shoes. I might just end up dynamically creating Entry components, but I’d rather get this working.
You need four files to get Tktable working:
They go into Python folder like so:
C:\Python2.x
| +--- tcl |
| | +--- Tktable2.7
| | | +--- pkgIndex.tcl
| +--- Tktable.dll
| +--- tkTable.tcl
|
| +--- Lib
| +--- lib-tk
| +--- tktable.py
You can get the first three files from the Win32 binary distribution of Tktable 2.7 the tktable.py is a python wrapper for the component and can only be found the demos folder of the newest edition of the source code found here: Tktable 2.9 Source
Once you’ve gotten all the files in the right place you should be able to setup a Python script to use the table. You could also just run the tktable.py file through the interpreter to make it it works.
