PySolFC will not start, crashes after a few seconds

[Bill Kirkpatrick]

I use Slackware-current & Plasma5 from KDE. I have been running PySolFC, from slackbuilds.org for the past several years, most recently version 2.4.0. For the past couple of days, when I click on the PySolFC icon, I get an icon in the Task Manager for a couple of seconds, then it disappears, & the program is gone. Running from a terminal gives me this:

$ pysol.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pysol.py", line 37, in <module>
from pysollib.main import main  # noqa: E402
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pysollib/main.py", line 32, in <module>

if TOOLKIT == 'tk' and Image and Image.VERSION >= '1.1.7':
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VERSION'

I reinstalled version 2.4.0, tk (& associated programs), but no joy. I updated to version 2.6.2 & the error changed somewhat:

$ pysol.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pysol.py", line 36, in <module>

from pysollib.mfxutil import Struct, print_err
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pysollib/mfxutil.py", line 54, in <module>
if TOOLKIT == 'tk' and Image and Image.VERSION >= '1.1.7':
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VERSION'

The final error, however, is the same.
What do I do next?
