    Tablelist 4.3

    Hello everybody!

    I have downloaded the Tablelist 4.3 from http://www.nemethi.de/.

    Now I want to install it on my system Win XP.

    From the distribution I have got the following information:
    "
    On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the
    distribution file tablelist4_3.zi p into the directory tablelist4.3, with the
    subdirectories demos, doc, and scripts.

    Note that the file tablelistEdit.t cl in the scripts directory is only needed
    for applications making use of interactive cell editing. Similarly, the
    file tablelistMove.t cl in the same directory is only required for scripts
    invoking the move or movecolumn command. Finally, the file
    tablelistThemes .tcl is only needed for applications using the package
    Tablelist_tile (see next section).

    Next, you should check the exact version number of your Tcl/Tk distribution,
    given by the tcl_patchLevel and tk_patchLevel variables. If you are using
    Tcl/Tk version 8.2.X, 8.3.0 - 8.3.2, or 8.4a1, then you should upgrade your
    Tcl/Tk distribution to a higher release. This is because a bug in these Tcl
    versions (fixed in Tcl 8.3.3 and 8.4a2) causes excessive memory use when
    calling info exists on non-existent array elements, and Tablelist makes a
    lot of invocations of this command.

    "

    But I don't know who to do it.
    I have copied the files to my python directory. By calling the package I get
    an error.
    Would somebody please so kind and explain me the installtion step by step.
    E.g. Where to copy the files?, Who can I obtain the tcl_patchLevel
    information?, How can I invoke the tableliste in a python programm.

    Thank you!

    I use TableList_4.1 on Win XP.
    1. put the whole directory tablelist4.1 of the zip-file
    into C:\Python24\tcl \tablelist4.1\ (i.e. all the archive
    into the directory).
    2. put TableList.py from

    anywhere as usual .py file. The documentation in the script is
    only a part of original tcl documentation, you may need more.
    3. import & enjoy
    4. there are some annoying errors in the version (like
    inconsistent returned types of some methods,...)
