Back in the day, the Grayson book was the definitive reference: https://www.amazon.com/Python-Tkinter-Programming-John-Grayson/dp/1884777813/ It's 20+ years old now, so the version of Python it uses is pretty ancient, and I presume Tk has also changed a bit over the years, so... There are a couple recent books, but I haven't looked at them: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Tkinter-Busy-Python-Developers-dp-1999149564/dp/1999149564/ https://www.amazon.com/Python-GUI-Programming-Tkinter-user-friendly/dp/1801815925/ -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
