TclError when using pyaGui

[DanielAndreasen]

Hi,

When I try to use the pyaGui (which I succesfully used with pleasure before) I now get the following error:

In [1]: from PyAstronomy import pyaGui

In [2]: pyaGui.Picker()

I tried uninstall and install PyAstronomy a couple of time, the same with matplotlib, but nothing seems really to work. The closest thing I got to something looks like a solution is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23584325/cannot-use-geometry-manager-pack-inside

You have any suggestions what might be wrong?

Cheers, Daniel

Hi Daniel, wow this is a tough one! on first sight i have no clue what is going wrong. Will be traveling this week so i am a little limited in my ability to look into this. Sorry for that. I will have a look at this next week and come back to you. Cheers, stefan

Hi Stefan,

That is okay. Right now I only need it for some plots, but that can wait a little. Looking forward to some help on this one. I'll keep you updated if I find a solution.

Cheers, Daniel

[sczesla]

Hi Daniel, I suspect it might have something to do with the tk version. Could you please check the version: import Tkinter print Tkinter.TclVersion Just to check whether it is worth to dig further. Cheers, Stefan

[DanielAndreasen]

It is a place to start. I have version 8.6. Do you want me to try downgrade or upgrade?

Cheers, Daniel

[sczesla]

Thanks for checking. Well, let me put it like that: If you would downgrade to version 8.5, I think it would work. However, this seems more like a work around than a solution. The actual problem appears to be a run-in of pack and grid (the error message says that already, of course), which turned into an error in the latest version of tcl/tk. I will try to sort this out. Cheers, Stefan

[DanielAndreasen]

I will try this during the weekend or in the beginning of the next week. Hopefully this will be a good work around. Cheers, Daniel

[DanielAndreasen]

I took a look at it today. As far as I understand, the module comes with python-tk. However, on my system there are only one version available. I'm running Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit.

[sczesla]

Hi Daniel, no problem. Changing the Tcl version can be tricky. I have reproduced the behavior and basically solved the problem. I need a little more time to produce a version, which I can push to the repo. I will keep you informed. Stefan

[DanielAndreasen]

Hi Stefan,

That sounds very good. I look foreward to test it on my computer. /Daniel

[sczesla]

OK. Pushed to repo. Hope that will work for you. Stefan

[DanielAndreasen]

I works without any problems! Thank you very much for your help.
