Tkinter Wiki

Tkinter is the most portable GUI toolkit for Python. The aim of this Wiki is to gather information to help Python programmers better use Tkinter.

Interesting starting points:

• tkFileDialog: How to open and save files or opening directories using a filedialog.

• Events: about events

• tkXcursor: How to set custom ARGB/animated cursor for Tkinter widgets under X11.

• mtTkinter: A thread-safe version of Tkinter

• Tka11y: Tk Accessibility, and automated GUI testing

• Tkinter_3000: the far future?

• CategoryGames: games and toys

• TkinterDiscuss: the mailing list about Tkinter

• Tkinter_Links: useful links to Tkinter

Note: As of Python 3.0, Tkinter and related modules were replaced by the tkinter package.

You can use the EditText link at the end of any page to edit it. Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page.
