Résumé

Python programmers often need to add Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) to their applications to make them really useful. However, the documentation available for Tkinter, on the Web or elsewhere, is very sketchy; programmers find themselves having to read code in order to understand component usage. This manual includes full documentation for Tkinter, and also offers extensive sample code for many real-world Python/Tkinter applications that will give programmers a flying start on their own projects. The included examples go far beyond "fill-the-form" interfaces to include complex controls, drawn interfaces, and photorealistic panels.
