Hi Tim: I just fixed the issue by applying your advise. But (...and here comes a big BUT !!!), why do I have to do this when calling tkinter inside a COM server, meanwhile this is not necessarily when outside a COM? If my COM Server were using tkinter directly I could rely on this trick. However, my originally problem came up by trying to use pyplot from Matplotlib. I found that pyplot.figure() launches a tk instance. Therefore, in order to use this library (and any other that uses tkinter) within COMs, I must modify the source codes. It doesn't seem this to be a feasible solution. Is there any other solution?
