Currency Converter in Python

Hope you are doing great!

Today, We are going to see how can we create a Currency Converter in Python.

For this, we need the tkinter module and currency converter module.

Tkinter is the standard GUI library for Python. Python when combined with Tkinter provides a fast and easy way to create GUI applications.

CurrencyConverter is a module used to convert one currency into another in order to check its corresponding value using the European Central Bank data.

To install tkinter module python, type the below command in your terminal–

pip install tkinter 

To install CurrencyConverter module python, type the below command in your terminal–

pip install CurrencyConverter
