This program does NOT need to be installed in any way.
Simply download it, unzip it (into an apps
private
directory, for example) and use it right now.

This software runs only with Python3 (v >= 3.3) and Tkinter installed on your machine.
No dependencies, no third-part lib to install on more.
If you have a recent Python3 programming language correctly installed, Tkinter library should also be installed by default as a Python standard lib.
Any ImportError will mean either you are trying to launch the software with Python2 or you don't have Tkinter library correctly installed on your system.
Installing a Python3 version of the language does not alter an already installed Python2 version in any way.
You may consider installing Python3 from:
https://www.python.org/downloads/ (Ctrl+click: open in new tab)
Return to summary.
Many major Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu, SuSE, etc) do already have a pre-installed Python3/Tkinter package.
In this particular case, you should NOT consider to make any special installation by yourself.
Simply download and use this program as is.
Return to summary.
Many MS-Windows™ users wonder why do they have a shell console window coming up with the application on startup.
This is a quite normal Python default behaviour.
If you wish to use a Python application without its dedicated shell
console window, simply rename file extension from .py
to .pyw
and
then launch it again.
For the present case, this means you should rename tkscenarist.py
to
tkscenarist.pyw
and then run it once again.

for the benefit of all.
