2.4 Shaping the main window and conversing with the user
The main window is a very specific construct, as its fate is shared among two masters: you (supported by tkinter) and your operating system. This means than you cannot manage the window like any other widget, as thetext/html2023-12-22T11:20:26+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Python Professional Course Series: GUI Programming

Python Professional Course Series: GUI Programming
What is GUI?
GUI is an acronym. Moreover, it’s a three-letter acronym, a representative of a well-known class of acronyms which plays a very important role in the IT industry.

Importing TkInter
As you already know, from Python's point of view TkInter is a package named tkinter. The package contains a bunch of functions, constants, classes, objects, and modules used to build GUI applications.

Settling widgets
A familiarity with the Button widget allows us to show you some ways of putting the widgets (not only the buttons) inside windows. There are more of them than just place(), which you learned about in the previous section.

1.8 Interacting with widget methods
Widget methods
Widgets have methods – you’ve met some of them already. Now we’re going to show you a few more of them, and we’ll start with two which seem to be very specific.

1.6 Events and how to handle them
Event handling
As you already know, events are the fuel which propel the application’s movements. All events come to the event manager, which is responsible for dispatching them to all the application components. This also means that some of the events may launch some of your callbacks, which makes you responsible for preparing the proper reactions to the user’s actions.text/html2023-12-23T19:05:35+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)1.4 Coloring your widgets

1.4 Coloring your widgets
Adding colors
Nearly everything you put inside your windows may be colored. Most widgets have dedicated properties to handle their colors and we will tell you about them while discussing the widgets themselves.

Variables
To implement some of its functions, Tkinter uses a very special kind of variable called an observable variable. This variable works like a regular variable (i.e., it’s able to store values which are accessible to the outside world) but there is something more – any change of the variable’s state can betext/html2023-12-28T19:51:18+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)2.3 A small lexicon of widgets - Part 3

2.3 A small lexicon of widgets - Part 3
There are two remaining widgets we want to tell you about – the first one is just a widget, while the second is, in fact, a set of cooperating widgets.
The Entry widget not only presents a line of text, but is also able to
