Hello. I'm beginning to explore Python 3 and tkinter (using Mac OSX 10.6).
Following the directions in (http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter) I verified that
>>> import tkinter
>>> tkinter._test()
does indeed open a little window as expected. So there is SOME fashion of tkinter and TCL/TK installed on this machine.

Next I attempt to run the "First (Real) Example" in (http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/firstexample.html), but get the error,

    File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/tkinter/ttk.py", line 47, in _load_tile  master.tk.eval('package require tile')

Looking at the ttk.py file I find it checks tkinter.TkVersion < 8.5, and in fact tkinter.TkVersion yields 8.4.

Performing the following google search,

     site:mail.python.org 'package require tile'

I observe that this same error has been mentioned 66 times over the last few years and with several versions of Python and different platforms. (It seems odd, when this problem has been arising since 2004, the latest version 3.1.2 of Python is still distributed with tkinter 8.4 and yet no tile package. But I digress.)

The usual advice is to install the tile package from sourceforge. So I tried to do this but encountered several problems, beginning with, where, ie what folder? Doesn't really matter, as I find that its ./configure script looks for a C compiler -- and the Apple Developer package is not installed on this system. I looked around in /bin and /usr but there doesn't seem to even be a lowly cc anywhere.

I'd appreciate any suggestions to get past this stone wall.

Thanks,

Dave Cortesi

You're correct that ttk didn't come built-in to Tk until 8.5--hence the need for the Tile package with 8.4. I believe the most recent Tile package is 0.8 or 0.8.2, at the site you referenced.

As for a compiler, install Apple's developer tools (Xcode and friends) and you'll have a working gcc. The dev tools are an optional install on the DVD, or can be downloaded from Apple.

Hi i have the following problem with Python Tkinter.
I switch to switch the image background (which i used Tkinter.Label with image arg to display on the GUI).

How can I do that? the callback function which i have created doesn't seem to work...
some advice?

below is my code:


import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

root = tk.Tk()

# having problem with switching the image
def callback(event):
    global root
    root.panel1.pack_forget()
    root.panel1.image = image2
    root.panel1.pack()

   
def app():
   
    root.title('FIT 2022 Assignment 1')
     
    # pick an image file you have .bmp .jpg .gif. .png
    # load the file and covert it to a Tkinter image object
    imageFile = "c:\\test1.jpg"
    image1 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(imageFile))
    imageFile2 = "c:\\test2.jpg"
    image2 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(imageFile2))


    # get the image size
    w = image1.width()
    h = image1.height()

     
    # position coordinates of root 'upper left corner'
    x = 0
    y = 0

     
    # make the root window the size of the image
    root.geometry("%dx%d+%d+%d" % (w, h, x, y))

     
    # root has no image argument, so use a label as a panel
    panel1 = tk.Label(root, image=image1)
    panel1.pack(side='top', fill='both', expand='yes')
    panel1.image = image1
    panel1.bind("<Button-1>", callback)


    panel1.pack()
    root.mainloop()


app()

Hello,

I posted the code in here:

My previous code was erroneous. Therefore I edited it.
