Hi, very very very good jobs...

Is it possible to add supports to tcl/tk v8.6 in "recent" (>= 3.6) appimages ?
It would be very great.

By the way thank for you work

Hello @GitUser000,

thank you for pointing this out. The issue was that I hard-coded the search location for Tcl/Tk libraries, but the installation prefix (recently?) changed in manylinux Docker images. I updated python-appimage in order to locate Tcl/Tk path dynamically, using the corresponding host tclsh executable. This should be more robust in the future if the installation prefix changes again. Now the proper Tcl/Tk versions should be bundled in AppImages. Note that the bundled version of Tcl/Tk actually depends on the manylinux tag, not on the Python version. That is:

  • manylinux1 => Tcl/Tk 8.4
  • manylinux2010 => Tcl/Tk 8.5
  • manylinux2014 => Tcl/Tk 8.6

Thus, if you use a manylinux2014 image, then you should have Tcl/Tk 8.6.

Hi,
checked with python3.9.14-cp39-cp39-manylinux2014_x86_64.AppImage : OK
Many thanks for this very fast fix/update.
