tkdnd (Optional)

This is an optional dependancy for supporting Drag-N-Drop feature. It's a little bit of tricky in the installation. PyEditor can run without it so it's okay to skip this process.
- Ubuntu / Debian
  
  This is the most simple way:
```
 sudo apt-get install tkdnd
```
- Fedora / RedHat This is untested:
```
 sudo dnf install tkdnd
```
- Arch Linux
  
  There is an AUR called tkdnd, see here. But this is untested, you need to find out yourself.
  
  For AUR install guide, see here
- Windows & MacOS
  
  Download tkdnd2.8 from here, make sure you are downloading the right arch. For example, if you are using Python 64-bit on Windows, you should download the Windows 64-bit version.
  
  How to check my python version?
  
  In your terminal, type python3 and hit enter, you will see:
```
 Python 3.8.5 (tags/v3.8.5:580fbb0, Jul 20 2020, 15:57:54) [MSC v.1924 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
```
  In this example, there is a string "64 bit" and "win32", so we can determine that we are on 64-bit python on Windows.
  
  Then,
  - On Windows:
    
    Nevigate to you python installation directory.
    
    Check C:\Program Files\Python, C:\Program Files (x86)\Python, D:\Program Files\Python and D:\Program Files (x86)\Python
    
    Hint: you can use where.exe python3 to locate your installation directory.
    
    For example, my installation directory is D:\Program Files\Python\Python38\. Then goto its subfolder tcl. Now the full path is D:\Program Files\Python\Python38\tcl\.
    
    Extract tkdnd2.8 which you downloaded in the previous step and put the tkdnd2.8 folder here.
  - On MacOS: Simply put tkdnd folder under /Library/Tcl. If your system don't have that folder, just make a new one.
    
    On command line it will be
```
 cd PathToYourTkdnd2.8Folder
 sudo mkdir /Library/Tcl
 sudo cp tkdnd2.8 /Library/Tcl/
```

Then run in terminal

python3 editor.pyw
