Learn the basics of #GUI Programming in Python

#GUI Programming in Python
Python has a huge number of GUI frameworks (or toolkits) available for it, from #TkInter (traditionally bundled with Python, using Tk) to a number of other cross-platform solutions, as well as bindings to platform-specific (also known as "native") technologies.
GUI Programming in Python is a similar page whose content could arguably complement this page with some editing.
https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter
#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. CameronLaird calls the yearly decision to keep TkInter "one of the minor traditions of the Python world."

After almost 4 months of work on Google Summer of Code 2017, finally I'm completing my proposal. Every widget migration and every commit/PR/issue/discussion with my mentors about Cricket , Toga and rubicon-objc were detailed on the Issue 58.
"Eating your own dog food"
The best way to show that a product is reliable to the customers is use it. So, the way to show that #Toga is an effective tool to build a #GUI is to build a complete application using it.
#Cricket is a graphical tool that helps you run your #test suites. Its current version is implemented using #Tkinter as the main GUI framework. So, why not test Toga inside of another product from #BeeWare? That's what I have acomplished during my GSoC work.
