🚀 Getting Started

🐍 For Python 3.10

1. Download the Zip File from HERE: Unzip the provided archive to reveal the tkinter directory.

2. Navigate to: tkinter/3.10/python_embedded

3. Move Files: Drag and drop the files from python_embedded to your embedded Python directory.

4. Verify Structure: After moving the files, your folder structure should resemble this:

   

   Ensure:

   • tcl folder is at the root of the embedded distribution.
   • tkinter folder is at the root of the embedded distribution.
   • _tkinter.pyd, tcl86t.dll, and tk86t.dll are in the DLLs folder.
   • IMPORTANT: Either replace python310._pth with the one provided in the Zip or edit your current python310._pth to include ./DLLs.

5. Test Tkinter: Run the following command to confirm Tkinter is set up correctly:

   python -m tkinter

🐍 For Python 3.11

1. Download the Zip File from HERE: Unzip the provided archive to reveal the tkinter directory.

2. Navigate to: tkinter/3.11/python_embedded

3. Move Files: Drag and drop the files from python_embedded to your embedded Python directory.

4. Verify Structure: After moving the files, your folder structure should resemble  this:

   
   • FOR 3.11 ONLY: The tkinter folder should be at \Lib\site-packages\tkinter
   

   Ensure:

   • tcl folder is at the root of the embedded distribution.
   • tkinter folder is located at \Lib\site-packages\tkinter.
   • _tkinter.pyd, tcl86t.dll, and tk86t.dll are in the DLLs folder.
   • IMPORTANT: Either replace python311._pth with the one provided or edit your current python311._pth to include ./DLLs.

5. Test Tkinter: Execute this command to verify installation:

   python -m tkinter

🐍 For Python 3.12

1. Download the Zip File from HERE: Unzip the provided archive to reveal the tkinter directory.

2. Navigate to: tkinter/3.12/python_embedded

3. Move Files: Drag and drop the files from python_embedded to your embedded Python directory.

4. Verify Structure: After moving the files, your folder structure should resemble this:

   

• FOR 3.12 ONLY: The zlib1.dll should be placed in the DLLs folder

  

  Ensure:

  • tcl folder is at the root of the embedded distribution.
  • tkinter folder is also at the root of the embedded distribution.
  • _tkinter.pyd, tcl86t.dll, tk86t.dll, and zlib1.dll are in the DLLs folder.
  • IMPORTANT: Either replace python312._pth with the one provided or edit your current python312._pth to include ./DLLs.

5. Test Tkinter: Run this command to confirm Tkinter is properly installed:

   python -m tkinter
