#57313 — Tkinter tutorial?

SubjectTkinter tutorial?
Message-ID<l46os6$uk6$1@news.albasani.net>
I have some experience with Python, having used it for a couple of years.

Until now, my builder of choice for cross-platform GUI applications has 
been wxPython (with wxGlade), and I have been well satisfied with these 
tools.

However, for a different project I need to get up to a reasonable speed 
with tkinter. Could some kind soul recommend a suitable on-line tutorial, 
or a (free) ebook?

Thanks.

Ask Google! :-)

In practice I've had to go looking for specific answers, but there's
info available from various places, such as:

TkDocs <URL:http://www.tkdocs.com/> is both a book for purchase (“Modern
Tkinter”) and a cross-language tutorial for Tk, taking full advantage of
modern features of Tk 8.5 and 8.6.

The example code attempts to hew quite closely to the original Tcl, so
it makes for rather awful Python. But you do learn how Tkinter works.
