Where can I find the most modern tutorial that teaches tkinter
together with ttk
?
Tkinter
seems the only way to go in Python 3 (don't suggest Python 2), and ttk
gave me hope for good-looking GUI.
I have found the TkDocs tutorial to be very useful. It describes building Tk
interfaces using Python and Tkinter
and ttk
and makes notes about differences between Python 2 and 3. It also has examples in Perl, Ruby and Tcl, since the goal is to teach Tk itself, not the bindings for a particular language.
I haven't gone through the whole thing from start to finish, rather have only used a number of topics as examples for things I was stuck on, but it is very instructional and comfortably written. Today reading the intro and first few sections makes me think I will start working through the rest of it.
Finally, it's current and the site has a very nice look. He also has a bunch of other pages which are worth checking out (Widgets, Resources, Blog). This guy's doing a lot to not only teach Tk, but also to improve people's understanding that it's not the ugly beast that it once was.
