PySimpleGUI Attribute Error on Windows XP SP3 with Python 3.4.4

Question

Running a Python program which uses a PySimpleGUI interface on top of TkInter. Program runs well on Windows 10 and CentOS Linux workstations. Unfortunately have a job requirement to also run the program on a Windows XP Service Pack 3 PC in an isolated secret lab area, no internet, so any installations are brought in on a DVD.

Python 3.4.4 was the latest version I could find which supports Windows XP and it installs and runs fine with Tkinter up and running as well.

PC Setup:

Windows XP Service Pack 3

Python 3.4.4

PySimpleGUI 3.39.0

Execution Error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "PysharkLiveCapGUI.py", line 9, in <module> sg.theme('Topanga') AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'theme'

Path to PySimpleGUI EGG:

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

\>>> import PySimpleGUI as sg

\>>> print(sg)

<module 'PySimpleGUI' from 'C:\\Python34\\lib\\site-packages\\pysimplegui-3.39.0-py3.4.egg\\PySimpleGUI\\_init_.py'>

Problem?:

PySimpleGUI installation appeared to run error free. The EGG file looks fine when I inspect it using 7 Zip. Best guess is that Windows XP doesn't know how to read the EGG file although it's within a Python execution where theoretically Python has no problem importing EGG files. Any help with this issue greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Program runs well on Windows 10 and CentOS Linux workstations.

It should be wrong if you have code like sg.theme and you will get exception, no matter on Windows 10, CentOS Linux workstations.

PySimpleGUI 3.39.0

If nothing wrong, function sg.theme released from 4.14.0 PySimpleGUI 23-Dec-2019.

Python 3.4.4

"Upgrade your PySimpleGUI to the most update version" may not work for this version of python. try to use old method sg.change_look_and_feel.
