pytktable
A spreadsheet-like table widget for tkinter, wrapping the Tcl/Tk Tktable extension.
⚠️ Important: pytktable is only the Python wrapper. The table widget itself is Tktable, an extension for Tcl/Tk written in C, which
pip install pytktabledoes not install. Install Tktable first, following the installation instructions for your OS, then runpython -m tktableto check that it works.
The wrapper was originally written by Guilherme Polo.
The example above shows the planets of the Solar System, from NASA's Planetary Fact Sheet (screenshot taken on Windows 11).
Features
- Spreadsheet-like tables with title rows and columns, editable cells, and keyboard navigation.
- Cell values kept in an
ArrayVar(a Tcl array), or computed on demand by a callback. - Styling with tags: colors, fonts, alignment and relief, for single cells, rows or columns.
- Merged cells (spans), embedded widgets, and resizable rows and columns.
- Cells that flash when their value changes, with a color of your choice.
- Selection of cells, rows or columns; inserting and deleting rows and columns.
- Callbacks when the active cell changes, to compute cell values, to validate edits, and to format the selection when it is copied.
- Works on Linux, macOS and Windows, with Python 3.11 or later and Tcl/Tk 8.6 or 9.0, once Tcl/Tk (usually bundled with Python) and the Tktable extension are installed.
python -m tktablechecks that Tktable can be found and loaded.
Installation
pip install pytktable
It is imported as tktable (from tktable import Table). It also needs the Tktable extension,
which pip does not install: see Installation
for how to install it on your OS, and run python -m tktable to check that it works.
