To be able to help, I would need some information first...

• What version of Page are you using?
• What OS are you using?
• Was this when you were creating the GUI.py file or the SUPPORT.py file?
• Could you provide as an attachment your project.tcl file?

This information allows Don and/or I to zero in on the issue.

Also, what version of Tcl/Tk are you using? That snippit of code is executed every time some using PAGE generates a GUI.py file.

tcl version 8.5
page version 4.26
os version windows 10

Generated by PAGE version 4.26

in conjunction with Tcl version 8.5

I'm pretty sure that the issue is that you are using Tcl/Tk 8.5. Page requires 8.6.
Give updating your Tck/Tk to 8.6 and let us know if that solves the problem.

sorry where is 8.6

[Greg Walters]

Since you are running Windows 10, you need to get ActiveState Tcl from
https://www.activestate.com/products/tcl/downloads/
I'm assuming you are running 64 bit windows. If you are running 32 bit Windows, you will need a different version of TCL since ActiveState doesn't support 32 bit any longer. See this post...
https://sourceforge.net/p/page/discussion/general/thread/d959f82e0a/

Just a note here. ActiveState requires you to set up an account to get the download. It's free. It's just a bit of a pain to get through.

Worst case (and I don't suggest you do this) you can use Anaconda3, since it comes with a small version of TCL built in. Again, I don't suggest you do this since the Anaconda version of TCL doesn't always play nice, but it will get you up and running.

Hi, I tried saving creating the GUI code thru Gen_Python>Generate Python GUI and I encountered an error invalid command name "try"

I am using these programs for my coding :

PAGE 5.0.3.
ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.5.18.0
Anaconda3
and my computer is a 32-bit Windows 7

Can you help me how to resolve this error? Thank you!

[Greg Walters]

Your problem stems from the fact that you are using TCL 8.5. Page requires TCL 8.6. Your other problem is that ActiveState no longer offers a 32 bit version of 8.6.

You can try https://www.magicsplat.com/tcl-installer/index.html or http://www.bawt.tcl3d.org/download.html#tclbi in order to get a 32 bit version.
