Most applications will need the main !tkinter module, as well as the tkinter.ttk module, which provides the modern themed widget set and API\n\nfrom tkinter import from tkinter import ttk\n\nThe modules that provide Tk support include\n\n!tkinter Main Tkinter module.\n\ntkinter.colorchooser Dialog to let the user choose a color.\n\ntkinter.commondialog Base class for the dialogs defined in the other modules listed here.\n\ntkinter.filedialog Common dialogs to allow the user to specify a file to open or save.\n\ntkinter.font Utilities to help work with fonts.\n\ntkinter.fontchooser Dialog to let the user choose a font.\n\ntkinter.messagebox Access to standard Tk dialog boxes.\n\ntkinter.scrolledtext Text widget with a vertical scroll bar built in.\n\ntkinter.simpledialog Basic dialogs and convenience functions.\n\ntkinter.systray System tray icon and desktop notifications.\n\ntkinter.ttk Themed widget set introduced in Tk 8.5, providing modern alternatives for many of the classic widgets in the main !tkinter module.\n\nsynopsis: A binary module that contains the low-level interface to Tcl/Tk.\n\n_tkinter A binary module that contains the low-level interface to Tcl/Tk. It is automatically imported by the main !tkinter module, and should never be used directly by application programmers. It is usually a shared library (or DLL), but might in some cases be statically linked with the Python interpreter.\n\nidlelib Python's Integrated Development and Learning Environment (IDLE). Based on !tkinter.\n\n!tkinter.constants Symbolic constants that can be used in place of strings when passing various parameters to Tkinter calls. Automatically imported by the main !tkinter module.\n\ntkinter.dnd (experimental) Drag-and-drop support for !tkinter. This will become deprecated when it is replaced with the Tk DND.\n\nturtle Turtle graphics in a Tk window.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
