Complete Program Examples

The rest of this chapter presents a handful of complete GUI programs, as examples of how far Python and Tkinter can take you. Because I’ve already shown the interfaces these scripts employ, this section is mostly screen shots, program listings, and a few bullets describing some of the most important aspects of these programs. In other words, this is a self-study section: read the source, run the examples on your own computer, and refer to the previous chapters for further details on the code listed here. Many of these scripts also are accompanied on the book CD by alternative or experimental implementations not listed here; see the CD for extra code examples.
