16.1.2 Tkinter Life Preserver

This section is not designed to be an exhaustive tutorial on either Tk or Tkinter. Rather, it is intended as a stop gap, providing some introductory orientation on the system.

Credits:

• Tkinter was written by Steen Lumholt and Guido van Rossum.
• Tk was written by John Ousterhout while at Berkeley.
• This Life Preserver was written by Matt Conway at the University of Virginia.
• The html rendering, and some liberal editing, was produced from a FrameMaker version by Ken Manheimer.
• Fredrik Lundh elaborated and revised the class interface descriptions, to get them current with Tk 4.2.
• Mike Clarkson converted the documentation to LaTeX, and compiled the User Interface chapter of the reference manual.
