  Well, one can, kind of, translate my HTML code to Python:

import tkinter as tk
from time import strftime

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Clock")

clock = tk.Label(root, font=("Sans", 22, "bold"), bg="#eef", bd=3,
                 relief="solid")
clock.pack(padx=12, pady=12)

def update():
    clock.config(text=strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
    root.after(100, update)

update()
root.mainloop()

  .
