Installation Instructions

Install the package by typing

python setup.py install

at the command prompt with setup.py in the current directory.

You may need to give the path and version of Python depending on your system’s configuration:

<path to python>/python<version> setup.py install

For example

C:\Python33\python setup.py install

on Microsoft Windows or

python3.3 setup.py install

on Unix-like systems.

Notes

The frame, panel, logpanel,and threadqueue, modules are obsolete given the addition of ttk:notebook to tk after Tk8.4 and access via tkinter.
