Build a Simple Tkinter Calculator, Notepad, and Login App in Python
Learn how to build three practical Python GUI applications—a basic calculator, a simple notepad editor, and a user login/registration system—using Tkinter, complete with design principles, visual examples, and full source code for beginners.
Calculator
Case introduction: This example uses Python and Tkinter to develop a simple graphical calculator that can perform basic arithmetic operations. It is suitable for users with basic Python and Tkinter knowledge.
Design principle
To build a calculator you need interface components, event listeners, and the logic that processes the events. The layout creates widgets, initializes them, and manages their hierarchy and placement.
Example effect
Source code
import tkinter
import math
import tkinter.messagebox
class Calculator(object):
def __init__(self):
self.root = tkinter.Tk()
self.root.minsize(280, 450)
self.root.maxsize(280, 470)
self.root.title('计算器')
self.result = tkinter.StringVar()
self.result.set(0)
self.lists = []
self.ispresssign = False
self.menus()
self.layout()
self.root.mainloop()
# ... (rest of code omitted for brevity)Notepad
Tkinter is Python's standard GUI library. It is easy to use and integrates well with Python, but lacks a visual designer, so windows are built programmatically.
This example implements a simple text editor with file operations, edit functions, and a search feature. It is of medium difficulty and suitable for users familiar with Python and Tkinter.
Example effect
Source code
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.filedialog import *
from tkinter.messagebox import *
import os
def author():
showinfo(title="作者", message="Python")
# ... (rest of code omitted for brevity)Login and Registration
This example creates a user login and registration interface using Tkinter. It demonstrates how to use canvas, text boxes, buttons, and the pickle module for persisting user data.
Example effect
Source code
import tkinter as tk
import pickle
import tkinter.messagebox
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
window = tk.Tk()
window.title('欢迎登录')
window.geometry('450x300')
