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 There is an outdated designer for Tk 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.
