In this article, we will learn how to create a GUI Calendar application using Tkinter
Python offers multiple options for developing a GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, Tkinter is the most commonly used method. Python with Tkinter outputs the fastest and easiest way to create GUI applications.
To create GUI Calendar Using Python, we will need
- To import two Python modules one for creating GUI and another to get year data.
For GUI we will use "tkinter module"
because it’s very easy to learn and use.
And to get any year data we will use "calendar module"
.
To install Tkinter and calendar module, go to terminal and type,
pip install tkinter
pip install calendar module
- Create the main window (container)
- Add any number of widgets to the main window.
- Apply the event Trigger on the widgets.
Code with comments: GUI calendar using Python
from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import calendar
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('400x300')
root.title('Calender-Techarge')
root.iconbitmap("calender-ico.ico")
def show():
m = int(month.get())
y = int(year.get())
output = calendar.month(y,m)
cal.insert('end',output)
def clear():
cal.delete(1.0,'end')
def exit():
root.destroy()
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open('calendar.png'))
label = Label(image=img)
label.place(x=170,y=3)
m_label = Label(root,text="Month",font=('verdana','10','bold'))
m_label.place(x=70,y=80)
month = Spinbox(root, from_= 1, to = 12,width="5")
month.place(x=140,y=80)
y_label = Label(root,text="Year",font=('verdana','10','bold'))
y_label.place(x=210,y=80)
year = Spinbox(root, from_= 2020, to = 3000,width="8")
year.place(x=260,y=80)
cal = Text(root,width=33,height=8,relief=RIDGE,borderwidth=2)
cal.place(x=70,y=110)
show = Button(root,text="Show",font=('verdana',10,'bold'),relief=RIDGE,borderwidth=2,command=show)
show.place(x=140,y=250)
clear = Button(root,text="Clear",font=('verdana',10,'bold'),relief=RIDGE,borderwidth=2,command=clear)
clear.place(x=200,y=250)
exit = Button(root,text="Exit",font=('verdana',10,'bold'),relief=RIDGE,borderwidth=2,command=exit)
exit.place(x=260,y=250)
root.mainloop()
Output
Here, we have made a very simple and short program, but you can make this GUI application more user-friendly like you can add entry widgets to get the year during the run time and show the specific year’s calendar by clicking on a button.
In case, you don’t know how to create your GUI application more friendly or how to add more functionalities to your GUI application read more at https://docs.python.org/3/library/tk.html
