and you'll have learned a lot. But I think the TkDocs site is essential,
especially in its more advanced discussion of how to put together an
attractive, polished user interface with Tk. Tk has a long-standing
reputation of being the toolkit of choice for quick, simple, ugly
interfaces, and the other resources I've mentioned do nothing to to
change this. The practices that Mark Roseman discusses will allow one to
eventually put together a UI that matches anything that the other big
toolkits (wxPython, PyQt, PyObjC, PyGtk, etc.) can do.
Hope this helps,
It persuaded me to go and start reading. A couple of things of interest.
"It would be a great help if you could have a look around, provide any
comments, corrections or suggestions, or even help fill in some of the
missing pieces. "
so no pretense of completeness yet.
"In the near future, the plan is to continue refining the tutorial,
mainly finishing up the rest of the Perl and Python examples."
And from the linked blog
"July 09, 2009
Python material in progress.
While not yet complete, I've managed to add a very hefty chunk of Python
material to the tutorial. I should be able to complete the rest over the
next week or so. Would definitely appreciate feedback from any
Pythonistas on the existing material.
While I hadn't used it before, I think Tkinter may very well be the
nicest interface to Tk next to Tcl's (for which Tk was originally
designed of course, so you'd expect a bit of an advantage). For people
unfamiliar with either language, I think Python's more conventional use
of parentheses for functions, the "option=value" syntax, plus other
language features it takes advantage of are very attractive and win out
over Tcl. The two main parts that I think Tcl does in a nicer way are
event bindings and the fact you can create and geometry manage a widget
in one statement, while still keeping a handle to a widget around.
UPDATE July 17/2009: Most of the rest of the Python examples and code
snippets have been added.
