There is no such thing for Tkinter. There is an outdated designer for Tk
called Visual Tcl, but it can generate only Tcl code, not TkInter, and
uses only old-style widgets.

If you want a designer, use QT, which brings the Qt Designer. Be careful
though - if you misuse them, you can end up with inflexible GUIs, where
changes in the font or display resolution can mess up your interface.
Always test that your windows act sensibly upon resizing.
