Well, you could be translating them to Tcl/Tk -- so on the scale of
bad ideas, your's barely registers.

Back in the day, the Grayson book was the definitive reference:

   https://www.amazon.com/Python-Tkinter-Programming-John-Grayson/dp/1884777813/

It's 20+ years old now, so the version of Python it uses is pretty
ancient, and I presume Tk has also changed a bit over the years, so...

There are a couple recent books, but I haven't looked at them:

   https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Tkinter-Busy-Python-Developers-dp-1999149564/dp/1999149564/

   https://www.amazon.com/Python-GUI-Programming-Tkinter-user-friendly/dp/1801815925/
