Tkinter vs TTK (better widgets)

Ttk?

Tkinter has another submodule that makes the widgets way cooler than the main one. In the next picture you can see some radiobuttons with tkinter and tkinter.ttk, to see the difference.

Tkinter version

# the code
# for the original tkinter

import tkinter as tk


root = tk.Tk()

vstring = tk.IntVar()

text_value = [
    ("option 1", "1"),
    ("option 2", "2"),
    ("option 3", "3"),
    ("option 4", "4")
]

for t, v in text_value:
    r = tk.Radiobutton(root)
    r['text'] = t
    r['value'] = v
    r['variable'] = vstring
    r.pack(anchor=tk.W)

root. mainloop()

Tkinter.ttk version

# the version for
# tkinter.ttk

import tkinter
import tkinter.ttk as tk


root = tkinter.Tk()

vstring = tkinter.IntVar()

text_value = [
    ("option 1", "1"),
    ("option 2", "2"),
    ("option 3", "3"),
    ("option 4", "4")
]

for t, v in text_value:
    r = tk.Radiobutton(root)
    r['text'] = t
    r['value'] = v
    r['variable'] = vstring
    r.pack(anchor=tkinter.W)

root. mainloop()
