[SOLVED] Python Tkinter TreeCtrl

Hi all,

I have been working on coding a GUI using Python2 and Tkinter.  I am trying to use a multi column listbox so I downloaded and installed the TkTreeCtrl package from AUR.  Upon installing it however I cannot seem to import the module.  I tried to use the following:

Import TkTreeCtrl
Import TktreeCtrl
Import Tktreectrl
Import tktreectrl

but none of them worked. 

I have also noticed the AUR install did not put the module where the other Tk widgets are (/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/).  To install the package all I did was download the tarball from the AUR page (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tktreectrl/), use the PKGBUILD script suggested there, run makepkg and then installed the complied package using pacman.  There were no error reported and the package is installed in /usr/lib/treectrl2.4/. 

Has anyone here used the TreeCtrl widget in a python code on Arch LInux?  If you have and could share how you imported it into your python code I'd much appreciate it. 

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Python Tkinter TreeCtrl

Solved it.  Needed to install the Tkinter wrapper.  The AUR package is just the TCL part of the widget.  There is a AUR Tkinter package but it doesnt' work.  The URL in the PKGBUILD file is incorrect.  I downloaded the Tkinter wrapper from the following site and installed it based on the readme.  Then the issue was resolved and I could import the widget using the following command:

from TkTreectrl import *
