Tk/Tcl has long been an integral part of Python. It provides a robust and
|
|
platform independent windowing toolkit, that is available to Python programmers
|
|
using the :mod:`tkinter` package, and its extension, the :mod:`tkinter.ttk` module.
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`tkinter` package is a thin object-oriented layer on top of Tcl/Tk. To
|
|
use :mod:`tkinter`, you don't need to write Tcl code, but you will need to
|
|
consult the Tk documentation, and occasionally the Tcl documentation.
|
|
:mod:`tkinter` is a set of wrappers that implement the Tk widgets as Python
|
|
classes.
|
|
|
|
:mod:`tkinter`'s chief virtues are that it is fast, and that it usually comes
|
|
bundled with Python. Although its standard documentation is weak, good
|
|
material is available, which includes: references, tutorials, a book and
|
|
others. :mod:`tkinter` is also famous for having an outdated look and feel,
|
|
which has been vastly improved in Tk 8.5. Nevertheless, there are many other
|
|
GUI libraries that you could be interested in. The Python wiki lists several
|
|
alternative `GUI frameworks and tools <https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming>`_.
