Tkinter Tutorial - Hello World

We will start our Tkinter journey with popular Hello World program.

from sys import version_info

if version_info.major == 2:
    import Tkinter as tk
else:
    import tkinter as tk

app = tk.Tk()
app.title("Hello World")
app.mainloop()

The window will be like this:

For Python 2

import Tkinter as tk

For Python 3

import tkinter as tk

In the next line

app = tk.Tk()

The app window that is a main window could have other widgets like labels, buttons, and canvas in itself. It is the parent window of all its widgets.

app.title("Hello World")

It names the main window as Hello World.

app.mainloop()

After window instance is created, mainloop() should be called to let window enter the endless loop, otherwise nothing will show up.
