What this repository is about

This repo package TkinterDnD2 and tkdnd2 into a standard python module.

When the extension is imported in python its location will be automatically added to the Tk search path.

This repository contains the compiled binaries from https://github.com/petasis/tkdnd/releases/tag/tkdnd-release-test-v2.9.4. In order to provide support on ARM, we include built binaries from the now defunct tkinterdnd2-universal which added ARM support.
