“How to Build a Digital Clock with Python Tkinter Module” #shorts #python #programming #coding

Python Tkinter module provides various built-in functions and widgets that allow you to create graphical user interfaces (GUI). In this tutorial, we will be creating a digital clock using Tkinter module in Python.

To get started, you will need to have Python installed on your machine. You can download and install Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/). Once Python is installed, you can start creating your digital clock using Tkinter.

Step 1: Importing necessary modules
First, we need to import the necessary modules for creating the digital clock. We will be using the Tkinter module for creating the GUI and the time module for getting the current time.

import tkinter as tk
from time import strftime

Step 2: Creating the main window
Next, we need to create the main window for our digital clock. We will set the window title and size using the Tkinter module.

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Digital Clock")
root.resizable(False, False)

Step 3: Creating the clock widget
Now, we need to create the label widget that will display the current time. We will set the font size and style for the clock widget.

clock_label = tk.Label(root, font=('calibri', 40, 'bold'), background='black', foreground='white')
clock_label.pack(anchor='center')

Step 4: Updating the clock
To update the clock every second, we will define a function that will get the current time and update the clock widget with the new time.

def update_clock():
    time = strftime('%H:%M:%S %p')
    clock_label.config(text=time)
    clock_label.after(1000, update_clock)

Step 5: Running the GUI
Finally, we need to run the main loop for our GUI application, which will continuously update the clock widget every second.

update_clock()
root.mainloop()

That’s it! You have successfully created a digital clock using the Python Tkinter module. You can further customize the appearance of the clock by changing the font size, color, and style. Experiment with different widgets and functionalities to enhance your digital clock. Have fun coding!
