Tkinter is Python's de-facto standard GUI (Graphical User Interface) package. It is a thin object-oriented layer on top of Tcl/Tk. Tkinter is not the only GuiProgramming toolkit for Python. It is however the most commonly used one.

Tkinter ('Tk Interface')is python's standard cross-platform package for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It provides access to an underlying Tcl interpreter with the Tk toolkit, which itself is a cross-platform, multilanguage graphical user interface library.

Tkinter isn't the only GUI library for python, but it is the one that comes standard. Additional GUI libraries that can be used with python include wxPython, PyQt, and kivy.

As a learning tool, tkinter has some features that are unique among GUI toolkits, such as named fonts, bind tags, and variable tracing.

Tkinter is largely unchanged between python 2 and python 3, with the major difference being that the tkinter package and modules were renamed.
