_tkinter.TclError: missing close-brace

[WK-GiHu]

The command that is causing the error is os.environ.get("TKTABLE_LIBRARY") returning a None value.

No, using "TKTABLE_LIBRARY" is optional, to point to the library.
But for your issue, it's worth to try and use it.
Look at Line 134, there is a comment warning about TclError: table

File "C:\...AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\lib-tk\tktable.py", line 126, in __init__ 
'global auto_path; lappend auto_path {%s}' % tktable_lib) 
_tkinter.TclError: missing close-brace

        master.tk.eval(
           'global auto_path; lappend auto_path {%s}' % tktable_lib)

Braces are there…. Any ideas?

Without knowing the value of tkable_lib can't tell anything.
Add a print(tkable_lib) before line 126.

Hmm, not having "TKTABLE_LIBRARY" in place caused the first error. It didn't give me an Option.
In tkable_lib we find what we have in the environment variable "TKTABLE_LIBRARY" I had to create my self.
At the moment I get "C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\tcl".

At the moment I get "C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\tcl".

Should read: "C:\...\Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11", assuming your .dll is in ...tcl\Tktable2.11.
But this does not explain _tkinter.TclError: missing close-brace.

Verified with Python 3.5, the master.tk.eval(... part works for me.
Try to make it one line: master.tk.eval('global auto_path; lappend auto_path {%s}' % tktable_lib)

@WK-GiHu
Yes, the Tktable.dll is in C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\tcl.
I solved the close-brace, I think it was because of a \ at the end of the path I had in the environment variable "TKTABLE_LIBRARY". I don't know what this command "master.tk.eval('global auto_path; lappend auto_path {%s}' % tktable_lib)" does, but it seems to work now, not 100% sure, but it is not throwing an error any more.
Now the Problem seems to be in "master.tk.call('package', 'require', 'Tktable')"..... don't know what this does, but it is part of this tktable I downloaded.

I don't know what this command
master.tk.eval('global auto_path; lappend auto_path {%s}' % tktable_lib)
does, but it seems to work now,

The purpose is, to add the path defined in TKTABLE_LIBRARY to the internal tcl search path.
Now tcl knows, where to look for the requested Tktable library.

Now the Problem seems to be in
master.tk.call('package', 'require', 'Tktable')
..... don't know what this does, but it is part of this tktable I downloaded.

It's used to set a flag to prevent multiple loading and initalisations of the Tktable library.
This shouldn't bother you.

To verify, do:

    import tktable
    table = tktable.Table(root)
    table.grid(row=0, column=0)

You should see a empty Spreadsheet like table:

This is the scriptI run:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, r"C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\lib-tk")

from tkinter import *
import tktable

class app():
def init(self, root):
table = tktable.Table(root)
table.grid(row=0, column=0)

root = Tk()
root.title("Test tktable")
application = app(root)
root.mainloop()

This is the Traceback I got:

sys.path.insert(0, r...

Is this realy needed?

Add the following and show the output:

    for env in ['TCL_LIBRARY', 'TK_LIBRARY', 'TKTABLE_LIBRARY']:
        print('{}:{}'.format(env, os.environ.get(env)))

@WK-GiHu
sys.path.insert(0, r... Yes, otherwise it can't find tktable in the lib-tk Folder. thought it has to be there... in other filders it can find it without.

Here the Output:
TCL_LIBRARY:C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\tcl\tcl8.6
TK_LIBRARY:C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\tcl\tk8.6
TKTABLE_LIBRARY:C:\ActiveTcl\lib
For TKTABLE_LIBRARY I tried this paths too: C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11; C:\ActiveTcl\lib\Tktable2.11 no Change in beavior.
What is interesting is that I had to create the three env. var. myself!?

Reg Edit for PythonPath contains: C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib;C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\DLLs;C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\tcl; C:\ActiveTcl\lib\

Reg Edit for PythonPath contains:

Extend this part to C:\...\Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11;

For TKTABLE_LIBRARY I tried this paths too: C:\Users\mschuppisser.EAD\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11

Please confirm:

• The tktable.dll and *.tcl files are in ...Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11?
• The ouput of print(tkable_lib) before line 126, is ...Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11?
• The output of print(_TKTABLE_LOADED), after line 133, is True?

@WK-GiHu
Extend this part to C:...\Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11; Done: Still the same error
The tktable.dll and *.tcl files are in ...Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11: Yes
The ouput of print(tkable_lib) before line 126, is ...Python37-32\tcl\Tktable2.11: Yes
The output of print(_TKTABLE_LOADED), after line 133, is True: No, _TKTABLE_LOADED would be set to True after the "master.tk.call('package', 'require', 'Tktable')" Statement, this is failing.
