Creating and Saving Your First Program in Python with Tkinter

Sure! Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to create and save your first program in Python using Tkinter:

Step 1: Install Python
First, make sure you have Python installed on your computer. You can download the latest version of Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/). Follow the installation instructions to install Python on your computer.

Step 2: Install Tkinter
Tkinter is included in Python standard library so you don’t need to install it separately.

Step 3: Open a text editor
Open a text editor on your computer. You can use any text editor of your choice, such as Notepad, Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code.

Step 4: Write your Python code
In the text editor, write the following Python code to create a simple GUI using Tkinter:

from tkinter import *

# Create the main window
root = Tk()
root.title("My First Tkinter Program")
root.geometry("400x200")

# Create a label widget
label = Label(root, text="Hello, World!")
label.pack()

# Run the main loop
root.mainloop()

Save this code as first_program.py on your computer.

Step 5: Run your Python program
Open a terminal or command prompt on your computer and navigate to the directory where you saved first_program.py. Run the following command to execute your Python program:

python first_program.py

You should see a window pop up with the text "Hello, World!" displayed in it.

Step 6: Save your Python program
To save your Python program, simply click on the save button in your text editor or press Ctrl + S. Make sure to save your file with the .py extension to indicate that it is a Python program.

That’s it! You have successfully created and saved your first program in Python using Tkinter. You can now explore the Tkinter library further to create more complex GUI applications.
