During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  File "dropbox.py", line 19, in __init__

  File "TkinterDnD2\TkinterDnD.py", line 271, in __init__

  File "TkinterDnD2\TkinterDnD.py", line 41, in _require

I had this same issue.

I found if you copy the tkdnd2.8 folder into the tcl8.6 folder it solves the error.

I renamed mine to just tkdnd

The tk8.6 folder is copied into the bunldle of software in the compile.

The folders above this are not copies.

Hope this helps
