An Introduction to Tkinter
summary
Tkinter ships in the Python standard library and provides a lightweight, cross‑platform GUI; Python 3 adds ttk theme to make controls look native on Windows. The talk shows concrete code: importing tkinter/ttk, using pack and grid geometry managers, binding mouse events to canvas drawing, and creating notebooks and treeviews. A real example reads an SQLite engine–tuner database and renders a resizable colored plot on a canvas; the demos run on Windows 7 and the widgets behave as shown.
