_tkinter.TclError: invalid command name "::msgcat::mcmset

Tried to use ttkbootstrap in pydroid and got this error message below:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/temp_iiec_codefile.py", line 5, in <module>

               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
_tkinter.TclError: invalid command name "::msgcat::mcmse
t"

I can't figure out how to solve this problem or if it can even be solved. Any help would be appreciated. Oh and this error pops up even with a script as simple as:

import tkinter as tk
#from tkinter import ttk
import ttkbootstrap as ttk

base = ttk.Window()
base.mainloop()

So it's nothing to do an error in my script.

That error originates from the pydroid's tcl interpreter not implementing the tcl ::msgcat:: message catalog. The command uses to register localized translations to the tk message catalog, It is called by ttkbootstrap on window creation, but i do not think that needed on pydroid, so disable it!

Add this at the beginning of your code:

import ttkbootstrap.localization
ttkbootstrap.localization.initialize_localities = bool

The bool at the end is just a dummy function and should not actually do anything.
