After installing Tkinterdnd2 terminal still say 'Unable to load tkdnd library' on MacBook Pro M1

At the site to which Mr. Bennett-Alder linked, there is a folder for OS X binaries.

That folder contains a number of folders that seem to contain Mac distributions of the software. But the names of all of the distributions contain "MountainLion".

Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10,8) is a very old, Intel-only version of macOS. It's ten major versions behind Ventura – so even if the distribution does not contain any 32-bit code or system code (that would not work with Rosetta 2), there may be other things that will prevent those particular packages from working on a modern Mac.

I have TkinterDnD2 but, how do I download Windows binaries for a MacBook M1

You don't. You look to see if there is a version of the software that runs on a Mac – either one already built for a M1 Mac, or one that could be compiled from source code (with the right development tools).

Also wondering outloud if the installed version of Tk/Tcl will play a role in this TkinterDND2 functionality. Apple stopped updating Tk/Tcl versions years ago and they remain stuck at version 8.5.9, while 8.6.12 is available.

Apple is issuing a deprecation warning on these ancient Tk/Tcl releases with the caveat that it may be removed in a future macOS release.

That note said the sources were there as well.

If the downloaded binaries provide only a 32-bit version, and you need a 64-bit version, and you want it bad enough, you can try re-compiling with complier settings for 64-bit. Or if you post a note on one of those sites, someone else might be persuaded to do it for you.

a page on source forge found by search says:

If you want to use TkinterDnD2 you will of course have to install tkDnD2 first. Windows binaries as well as the sources can be found here.

After installing Tkinterdnd2 does terminal still say 'Unable to load tkdnd library'? I have looked all over the internet for an answer but as yet have not found the right answer. I have a new MacBook Pro M1, and have managed after a lot of effort to load many things including Tkinter but as I then try to run.py, I get "Unable to load tkdnd library"

Old issue, new issue, what changed?

Is Terminal.app included in your Full Disk Access...
