But enough talk. Time to look at some code instead.
As you know, every serious tutorial should start with a "hello world"-type example. In this overview, we'll show you not only one such example, but two.
First, let's look at a pretty minimal version:
Example 2-1. Our First Tkinter Program
# File: hello1.py from Tkinter import * root = Tk() w = Label(root, text="Hello, world!") w.pack() root.mainloop()
Running the Example
To run the program, run the script as usual:
$ python hello1.py
The following window appears.
Figure 2-1. Running the program
To stop the program, just close the window.
