Introduction

Tkinter (“Tk interface”) is Python's de-facto standard GUI (Graphical User Interface) package. It is a thin object-oriented layer on top of Tcl/Tk.

Installation

  • Tkinter requires a X11 server running on your board.
  • Then to activate it:
Target packages  --->
    Interpreter languages and scripting  --->
        ...
        [*] tcl
        [*]   delete encodings (saves 1.4Mb)
        [*]   install only shared library
              tcl libraries/modules  --->
                  [*] tk
                  [*]   remove demos
        ...
        [*] python
            core python modules  --->
                ...
                [*] tkinter

Quick test

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

w = Label(root, text="Hello, world!")
w.pack()

root.mainloop()
