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` module, and its extension, the :mod:`Tix` module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The :mod:`Tkinter` module 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. In addition, the internal module :mod:`_tkinter` provides a threadsafe
|
||
|
|
mechanism which allows Python and Tcl to interact.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:mod:`Tkinter`'s chief virtues are that it is fast, and that it usually comes
|
||
|
|
bundled with Python. Although it has been used to create some very good
|
||
|
|
applications, including IDLE, it has weak documentation and an outdated look and
|
||
|
|
feel. For more modern, better documented, and much more extensive GUI
|
||
|
|
libraries, see the :ref:`other-gui-packages` section.
