I recently bought Modern Tkinter for Busy Python Developers by Mark Roseman from Amazon and just finished it yesterday. I think it’s pretty new, but I can’t find the release date for it now. Anyway, let’s get on with the review!

Quick Review

  • Why I picked it up: I bought this book because I’d been planning to dig into other Python GUI toolkits anyway and I haven’t seen a new Tkinter book since John Grayson’s Python and Tkinter Programming
  • Why I finished it: It has a pretty good writing style, although the widgets chapters started to drag
  • I’d give it to: Anyone wanting to make their Tkinter applications look more native or learn a little about Tkinters new theming system.
