_tkinter.TclError: couldn't load library

[WK-GiHu]

But, how ever, it also printed:

master.tk.call('package', 'require', 'Tktable')
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't load library "C:/.../Python/Python37-32/tcl/Tktable2.11/Tktable.dll": 
Bad exe format. Possibly a 32/64-bit mismatch.

Oh, what a bad idea to hide the real TclError, a simple Version mismatch!

Relevant:

• My DLL was 32-bit and my Python distribution was 64-bit and 64-bit python can't load a 32-bit DLL..
• can-i-use-32bit-dll-or-exe-in-64bit-python
• cross-compiling

I can't find a tktable for Windows 64 bit... only for Linux.

Did you need to install tktable extra?

Here Download Tcl – ActiveTcl Community Edition i see both Windows (64-bit, x64) and Windows (x86), states TkTable is included:

We’ve pre-bundled a number of Tcl modules in our ActiveTcl 8.6.8 release:
Crticl, TclSOAP, Snack, TkCon, BWidget, [incr Tk], Tcllib, TclX, Expect, Tls, Tklib, TkTable, Tclvfs,  Metakit, Tbcload, Img, Treectrl, Wub, Nsf, Trofs, [incr widgets]

Yes, I had to download tktable extra. It didn't come with Pythons tkinter.

Show me the link, where you get this extra download tktable
As commented above, ActiveTcl states TkTable is included!

The Link you sent Points at 8.6.8.0. This is the Version I have already installed: ActiveTcl-8.6.8.0-MSWin32-x64. So, no need for a second install I think.

Did you say, the version named Windows (64-bit, x64) online, results in ActiveTcl-8.6.8.0-MSWin32-x64?

Verify the tktable.dll with a tool like inpspectExd to know it's 64-bit, x64 or 32-bit, x64 or whatever. You have to get this info from your used Python and used tcl as well, see the links in my privious comment.

How can I run this under 64 bit Windows? Any idea?

Confirm:

• Run a 32-bit Windows on a 64-bit CPU.
• Run a 64-bit Windows on a 64-bit CPU.

I can't see your new text in here, only in my mailbox!

I have closed the issue invalid command name "table" and opend a new issue couldn't load library. Go to all Issues.

Yes, tktable.dll is included, but not tktable.py. I had to download tktable.py.

tktable.py is Python source, this is not related to any OS or CPU.
Your installed/used Python version loads tktable.py => tkinter => tcl => pkgIndex.tcl => tkTable.dll.

• Inspect is telling me that the tktable.dll is a 64bit dll.
• But Python and the tcl and tk is is using are 32 bit..... :-(

This means I need to get a 32 bit tktable.dll........ searching for it....

Yes, see my link above in the first comment.

@WK-GiHu:
Download Tcl – ActiveTcl Community Edition: This is where I got ti from. But, when installing, it doesn't give me the Option to install it as 32 bit Version.

@WK-GiHu:
I'm thinking if it's better to install Python 64 bit Version..... might be better....

@WK-GiHu
After installing Python 64 bit Version, I got the small script running.
Now having Problems with Setting it up again...
Thx so much for your help!
