Description

Introduction to GUI Programming in Python

Python programming suite provides a large number of GUI frameworks (or toolkits), from TkInter (traditionally bundled with Python, using Tk) to a number of other cross-platform solutions, as well as bindings to platform-specific (native) technologies.

Python supports various options for developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Most important are listed below.

Tkinter − Tkinter is the Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python.

wxPython − This is an open-source Python interface for wxWindows.

JPython − JPython is a Python port for Java which gives Python scripts seamless access to Java class libraries on the local machine.

In summary, Python has a lot of GUI frameworks, but Tkinter is the only framework which is built into the Python standard library. Tkinter has several strengths. It’s cross-platform, so the same code works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Visual elements are rendered using native operating system elements, so applications built with Tkinter look like they belong on the platform where they’re run.

Tkinter is lightweight and relatively painless to use compared to other frameworks. This makes it a compelling choice for building GUI applications in Python, especially for applications where a modern sheen is unnecessary, and the top priority is to build something that’s functional and cross-platform quickly.


Uplatz provides this comprehensive training on GUI Programming in Python with Tkinter. The Python GUI Programming course covers the basics of Tkinter, programming with Tkinter, concept of GUI programming, using Tkinter for GUI programming, creating and managing Tkinter widgets, creating useful apps using Tkinter, and more.


Course Objectives

Get started with Tkinter with a basic application

Work with widgets, such as buttons and text boxes

Control your application layout with geometry managers

Make your applications interactive by associating button clicks to Python functions


Tkinter Programming

Tkinter is the standard GUI library for Python. Python when combined with Tkinter provides a fast and easy way to create GUI applications. Tkinter provides a powerful object-oriented interface to the Tk GUI toolkit.

Creating a GUI application using Tkinter is an easy task. The following steps need to be followed:

Import the Tkinter module.

Create the GUI application main window.

Add one or more of the above-mentioned widgets to the GUI application.

Enter the main event loop to take action against each event triggered by the user.


Tkinter Widgets

Tkinter provides various controls, such as buttons, labels and text boxes used in a GUI application. These controls are commonly called widgets.

There are currently 15 types of widgets in Tkinter.
