Learn Tkinter in 20 Minutes

[@onceonly1111]

This was a very helpful introduction for tkinter. Here are some things I discovered while fiddling around: - Button(window, text=" ", width=0) a width of zero will automatically size the button to fit the number of characters in text=" " so it will always be large enough if it says "Submit" or "Submitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt" - in the definition for click(), comment out #output.delete(0.0, END). Now the text will stay in the output box when click submit. Now go to output = Text() and change wrap=WORD to wrap=CHAR and click the submit button a few times. You can see how words are treated when they reach the edge of the line in the output box. - under window= Tk() type in window2= Tk(). Now for the output box, change output = Text(window) to output = Text(window2) but leave everything else as is. This will open a separate window for the output box, when you click submit the in one window, the output will display in the second window.

[@nanaabenanyamekye9708]

Your comments are very helpful. Thanks

[@nihaalxc9607]

I know its been over an year, but why put width=0, just dont put width at all, itll resize automatically. Do not use two Tk() as it will lead to many other issues if you don't handle it well

[@mews75]

Haha good job. Just don't use two Tk() without handling it properly

[@rattatteb]

If you want to learn it even faster than 20 minutes put the video on 1.25/1.5 speed

[@AhcMeUk]

Hahahaha good tip to save time.

[@barkeeper7887]

1.25 is best

[@cavidmirzyev3866]

actually i'm doing this for a while and it's very useful.

[@omiorahman6283]

Lol true

[@shubhamsalgaonkar2156]

did the same... (1.5x)

[@namnenergy6514]

I love how you periodically check your work by running the program. Certain other unmentionables on KZbin do not do this and their code ends up with obvious errors. Kudos

[@thatsme1268]

At 61 years old I needed something like this to help me understand the Raspberry Pi GUI and to get me started on my way to develop my visual outputs instead of just using console applications . Too many videos on uTube forget that yes there are users out there who have maybe (later in life) made the transition away from Microsoft's visual environment (after 20 years) to Python. Also, other 'authors' either don't provide any commentary (but substitute it with irritating canned music), speak too fast and really do not explain exactly what they are doing, provide far too complex examples or don't run their efforts to show outputs. Many thanks for this video found "by chance" and I have subscribed now. Hopefully I will be able to find your other video on exact placement of graphical elements?

[@stephenmoran2643]

Ty for the quick tutorial. Gave me enough info to play around and study. Starting learning how to code from square 1 about 2 months ago. I wrote all my backend code and now it's time to build a gui around it.

[@Circuit_Whisperer]

I have been trying to learn TK for a couple days now, and your tutorial made more progress in my studies than I could ever hope to do on my own!

[@Tovin]

This is great! While not how my teacher went on to teach it, this is what it took for me to really understand and get into tkinter! Thank you so much!

[@rivermishow4678]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was informative, easy to understand, and kept the lesson from feeling at all overwhelming!

[@maxniemi4584]

btw, you can put quotation marks around the "click" in command=click to make it work without defining a function. However you can't make a lot of the other stuff

[@BashGraphics]

best video ever on Python GUI.. I created a GUI software for BMI Calculator using your technique..

[@adarshtiwari7395]

Probably the most easiest and effective explanation for GUI out there. Thank you👍🍻

[@AhcMeUk]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jaketrap]

You killed it. I’ve been trying to get into this for a long time

[@matthewamstutz8889]

If anyone is having problems getting your image to come up or having problems importing tkinter, import like this (without quotes) "import tkinter" (NOTE: for python < 3 use import Tkinter [might work the way his is but mine is 3 and i had problems with it] if you have python >= 3 use "import tkinter") for python3 they changed a few things. The image had to be declared like this for me (without quotes) " photo1 = tkinter.PhotoImage(file="File Path Here [i.e /home/your username/Downloads/file_name.gif) Label also had to had to be used by " tkinter.Label(arguments) Good video though, this guy simplifies it pretty well, I was on a video yesterday and the dude was importing PIL and making classes and such. He was flying through pretty quick, got from class declaration of the window all the way to declaring the functions for the buttons without really explaining what was happening.

[@waitesdennis]

This has been such a help to me! I've just created something for work that has saved me so much time! Granted i didnt really need a GUI but it looks good and is helpful for my colleagues that don't know how to use python. Keep up the great work.

[@AhcMeUk]

Wonderful!

[@VivekKumar-mi3fh]

Thanks! It’s helped me to learn in less time. Request you to add your code in description section. It will be helpful for practice. If possible please add some project. It will help beginners like me to get confidence in python programming.

[@leobone3810]

Thank You. I got Computer Science for a GCSE and have been interested in the non-modular section of Python, but never really studied TKinter. :)

[@ziomekziomutek4491]

watching in 2021 and everything still works, thanks for help man

[@abianchi0226]

Very clear explanation. Love the British accent!

[@omiorahman6283]

[@frankarkwright1977]

Hi, Thanks a very good tutorial. I taught ICT for over 20 years, and I think the level of description was just right. Sometimes teachers can explain too many things that get in the way.

[@irvpaton8626]

This is as good as it gets. You make this complex subject very approachable.

[@jozbornn]

This was exactly the crash course I needed. Thanks so much for putting this video together!

[@msctube45]

This video was outstanding in the organization of the tutorial and in the clear explanation of the substance. Great job!

[@shruto118]

if you want to resize the text box in python i recommend doing (if py true == pc + big + window)

[@tjb3171]

finally, someone who goes through this in less than a million hours!!

[@CornyFlakez]

2:22 how does tkinter know where the gif is? Does it have to be in a specified directory? Sorry, I'm new...

[@AhcMeUk]

Make sure it is in the same folder as your.. Py file

[@saatvikgupta_0208]

We can use the PyDictionary module in it to create a real working dictionary rather than typing ourselves though it would require an internet connection to work.

[@opie32958]

Great job. I could tell you knew exactly what you were going to do before you even started recording. I hate when someone gets five minutes into a video and then says, "Oh wait, that example won't work, let me start over."

[@donbrandon2734]

Thanks for this. This gives a good view of how the framework of the tkinter module works. I think I can read the directory and figure the rest out from there.

[@tobiaskarl4939]

Very amazing tut. Thx. Very good. As english non-native speaker/listener it takes a little time to guess what you did say. Look this video with english auto subtitles on and you see what I mean. Google also has problems to understand ... you say "blaaee" and you mean "bluuuuu" for blue But at the end I understand all ... but is a challenge ... lol

[@omiorahman6283]

yeah that happens Different accents and all

[@davidtrimbee2016]

Very well done, love the pace of the work. Gives me a great start.

[@apoorvxx]

Well you made it look way easy. I mean it is easy to create all those labels and button but the explanation will help in executing the code through the gui. This was good :)

[@CeeTee469]

Nice pace. One of the few coding videos i like. Send the link for the code.

[@christianconsen3759]

Helped me understand Tkinter a lot better. Thank you! :)

[@MrBubbagump58]

I'm grabbing the concept of Tkinter programming pretty well. What I haven't run across yet, is a good reference for all the methods and attributes, particularly of class Tk(), but, for the widgets as well.

[@WisdomofHal]

You may want to go read up on the documentation you can go to the python website, or dozens of other documentation websites

[@markday9620]

Excellent presentation. One of the best that I have watched!

[@par-th1]

You can also use expand = True so the text will expand

[@o1techacademy]

I learned a lot from this tutorial. Thank you very much.

[@evofoxxx2477]

Thanks a lot! Your video really helped me with Tkinter, which I didn't really understand before! Keep up the good work!

[@amiraliqadri]

What is it with your icon

[@daziwg456]

By far the best descriptive video I've watched on Tkinter , I had my Window up and running in 20 mins after watching this , awesome job , quick question though ..how would you put 2 data entry points on the same line with a ":" in between them ??

[@Sebastian-42-69]

This is really great! You're great at explaining and the tutorial is very efficient! I enjoyed the tutorial!

[@RAHULNAIK03]

Very well explained.. thanks for this video..

[@lenael4747]

[@omiorahman6283]

Not all heroes wear capes

[@thezerocool22]

great straight to the point tutorial, I think I can use this as a teaching resource for pupils. I found the zooming on the code annoying, and it would be really useful to have a bit.ly link to the source code for a cheeky C&P, even if its just the starter pseudocode comments, that might increase engagement.

[@omiorahman6283]

thats the same reason i like it

[@smeetnilvarna]

This was a great video sir ! Was looking for a video like this from very long ! Thank you so much !

[@hbade4020]

Thanks for this! Is there any documentation with all the class attributes and methods? Cheers

[@erikekelund3428]

I can't seem to add any picture or even change the color of the background. Checked the code 100 times, there's no difference between yours and mine. Could it be somthing under the hood?

This is concise & well thought out, thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm trying to work out how to get the user to add new words and definitions to the glossary. Do you have any ideas for how this could be done?

[@dp0813]

The PhotoImage class can read GIF and PGM/PPM images from files. To read other formats, you need to import the Python Image Library (PIL) and use that to convert images to a format Tkinter can handle. Example from effbot.org/tkinterbook/photoimage.htm: from PIL import Image, ImageTk image = Image.open("lenna.jpg") photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)

[@husseinabukar7081]

Thanks and good work for your dedications, I would say if you could link your code it will be very helpful.

[@cafeespresso99]

Thank you, this is useful. I'm new to Python (strong background in VBA) and currently trying to decide whether to dive straight into PyQt, or to start with Tkinter and then move onto PyQt. Tkinter seems easier to use, but perhaps not as rich in widgets, so I'm tempted to start with Tkinter until I outgrow it. Has anyone else had the same decision to make and do you have any advice/comments? Thanks.

[@jesuisravi]

Very nice. Is this dictionary infinitely expandable?

Good. Better over all... give us the code in the description window of yours. Then we could run it and see if everything is alright in our computer. Really good it would be.
