Since the OP seemed to link too close Python to Tkinter ( or at list I read
it that way ) I just wanted to clarify that Tkinter
is not the only choice when it comes to GUI in python. I draw the parallel
because last time I worked with Java (which was some time ago ) Swing was
almost the only option (with AWT being obsoleted and other bindings being
non-exixtent ).
