"""Wrapper functions for Tcl/Tk.

Tkinter provides classes which allow the display, positioning and

control of widgets. Toplevel widgets are Tk and Toplevel. Other

widgets are Frame, Label, Entry, Text, Canvas, Button, Radiobutton,

Checkbutton, Scale, Listbox, Scrollbar, OptionMenu, Spinbox

LabelFrame and PanedWindow.

Properties of the widgets are specified with keyword arguments.

Keyword arguments have the same name as the corresponding resource

under Tk.

Widgets are positioned with one of the geometry managers Place, Pack

or Grid. These managers can be called with methods place, pack, grid

available in every Widget.

Actions are bound to events by resources (e.g. keyword argument

command) or with the method bind.

Example (Hello, World):

import tkinter

from tkinter.constants import *

tk = tkinter.Tk()

frame = tkinter.Frame(tk, relief=RIDGE, borderwidth=2)

frame.pack(fill=BOTH,expand=1)

label = tkinter.Label(frame, text="Hello, World")

label.pack(fill=X, expand=1)

button = tkinter.Button(frame,text="Exit",command=tk.destroy)

button.pack(side=BOTTOM)

tk.mainloop()
