Pysol won't run

After my last computer dies on me, and having got a newer computer (a Packard Bell(end)). I have had to re-install Artix on the newer computer using the latest iso.

One app I installed as a game called Pysol, however when trying to run this app I get the following message.
Code: [Select]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pysol", line 28, in <module>
    init()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pysollib/init.py", line 92, in init
    from six.moves import tkinter
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion but still won't run.

    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)

Read the error messages. They are helpful. The relevant line in your case is:

Code: [Select]
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "BACKGROUND"

This could be a wide variety of things. Make sure that you have all the dependencies required for Pysol installed and that you are using the correct python version (i.e. 2 or 3). If all that is good, and you are still getting that message, then it's probably something upstream and you should send them a bug report.

This is a TCL/Tk error; the background color is expected to be read from some environment variable or config file (useful for working right in both light and dark themes), which fails.

See this and this for a possible solution.
