ttk.Style.theme_names is using [ttk::style theme names]. This enumerates the table of loaded themes only (ones that already exist in the interpreter).
[ttk::themes] uses a different method: it searches [package names] for loaded or available, but as far as I can tell there's no way to know you've got the full list of [package names]! For instance, I can get several different combinations of values: $ tclsh8.5 % package names tcl::tommath Tcl % package require xyzzy can't find package xyzzy % package names http tcl::tommath ttk::theme::keramik_alt BLT opt tcltest ttk::theme::plastik BWidget msgcat tclreadline Expect ttk::theme::keramik Tcl platform Togl tile Tk % package require ttk::theme::plastik 0.6.2 % package names ttk::theme::classic http tcl::tommath ttk::theme::keramik_alt BLT Ttk ttk::theme::default opt tcltest ttk::theme::plastik BWidget msgcat tclreadline Expect ttk::theme::keramik ttk::theme::clam Tcl platform Togl tile ttk::theme::alt Tk so I think the pattern would have to be: * do a dummy [package require impossible-package-name] to ensure that anything directly named in a pkgIndex.tcl gets pulled in (you'll either need a Tcl catch or a Python try/except around this) * do a [package require tile-themes] in case that package is installed (you'll either need a Tcl catch or a Python try/except around this) * and then prefer [ttk::themes] to ttk.Style().theme_names() since I didn't observe any circumstance in which [ttk::themes] listed fewer themes than [ttk::style theme names], I wonder whether that isn't a candidate for a python bugreport for ttk.py. After all these years I remain utterly bewildered at Tcl's system for packages, particularly as compared to how straightforward Python's are...
