Which tkinter modules were renamed in Python 3?
The Tkinter
package from Python 2 has been renamed to tkinter
in Python 3, as well as other modules related to it.
Here is a list of renamed modules:
Tkinter
→tkinter
tkMessageBox
→tkinter.messagebox
tkColorChooser
→tkinter.colorchooser
tkFileDialog
→tkinter.filedialog
tkCommonDialog
→tkinter.commondialog
tkSimpleDialog
→tkinter.simpledialog
tkFont
→tkinter.font
Tkdnd
→tkinter.dnd
ScrolledText
→tkinter.scrolledtext
Tix
→tkinter.tix
ttk
→tkinter.ttk
I advise you to learn how to dynamically browse the modules with the dir
command. If you are under windows, configure Python to use readline module to get auto-completion and make it much easier to list available classes in a module.
For a description of each module, refer to the official Python documentation. (Tkinter
in Python 2.x, tkinter
in Python 3.x)
Quick Script for using Tkinter / tkinter for Python 2. & Python 3.**
I had a script which had different imports of Python 2.* Tkinter so browsing a but I see that the answer are all scattered. Here a small summary with a safe Script for using both Python versions.
try: # Python 2.7 import Tkinter as tk import tkColorChooser as color import tkCommonDialog as cdialog import Tkconstants as const import Tkdnd as dnd import tkFileDialog as fdialog import tkFont as font import tkMessageBox as msgbox import ScrolledText as stext import tkSimpleDialog as sdialog import Tix as tix import ttkexcept ImportError: # Python 3.* import tkinter as tk from tkinter import ( colorchooser as color, commondialog as cdialog, constants as const, dialog, dnd, filedialog as fdialog, font, messagebox as msgbox, scrolledtext as stext, simpledialog as sdialog, tix, ttk )
