-Tk/Tcl has long been an integral part of Python. It provides a robust and |
| 14 |
|
-platform independent windowing toolkit, that is available to Python programmers |
| 15 |
|
-using the :mod:`tkinter` package, and its extension, the :mod:`tkinter.tix` and |
| 16 |
|
-the :mod:`tkinter.ttk` modules. |

|
-The :mod:`tkinter` package is a thin object-oriented layer on top of Tcl/Tk. To |
| 19 |
|
-use :mod:`tkinter`, you don't need to write Tcl code, but you will need to |
| 20 |
|
-consult the Tk documentation, and occasionally the Tcl documentation. |
| 21 |
|
-:mod:`tkinter` is a set of wrappers that implement the Tk widgets as Python |
| 22 |
|
-classes. In addition, the internal module :mod:`_tkinter` provides a threadsafe |
| 23 |
|
-mechanism which allows Python and Tcl to interact. |
| 24 |
|

| 25 |
|
-:mod:`tkinter`'s chief virtues are that it is fast, and that it usually comes |
| 26 |
|
-bundled with Python. Although its standard documentation is weak, good |
| 27 |
|
-material is available, which includes: references, tutorials, a book and |
| 28 |
|
-others. :mod:`tkinter` is also famous for having an outdated look and feel, |
| 29 |
|
-which has been vastly improved in Tk 8.5. Nevertheless, there are many other |
| 30 |
|
-GUI libraries that you could be interested in. For more information about |
| 31 |
|
-alternatives, see the :ref:`other-gui-packages` section. |
