You need the tk extension tkDnD for this framework. This can be automatically installed via pip argument. Make sure the python directory is writable (e.g. on Mac OSX, Python library are installed to /System/Library, which cannot be modified, even with sudo!).

pip install layoutx (minimal version)

pip install layoutx[more_widgets, styles] (full version)

python -m layoutx.install_tkdnd (install tkdnd)
