An Introduction to tkinter
This is a mirror of effbot.org/tkinterbook recovered from the
Wayback Machine because the site is down as of 2021.
Note:
This is the tkinter introduction, last updated in 2005.
It was written for the outdated Python 2, and differs in a few ways
from tkinter for Python 3. In particular, tkinter must be imported
in Python 3 using the lower-case module name "tkinter", not the
capital-case "tkinter". Some modules were renamed, but otherwise
this document remains a very useable tkinter API reference.
Modules renamed for Python 3:
tkinter
tkinter.messagebox
tkinter.colorchooser
tkinter.filedialog
tkinter.simpledialog
tkinter.font
