[Tkinter-discuss] Tkinter to Qt-whatever

I think I'm going to look into ttk first. It - Tkinter - just makes way more sense to me. I can put all of the code 'together', instead of spreading it out over a ton of classes. I don't write a lot of classes. I'm more procedural in the way I program. On top of that Qt does WAY more than I need and just figuring out all of the different methods just to do simple things was taking forever. Tkinter has handled everything I've done.

I may have to go back to Qt. You never know.

Thanks!

You own custom widget is a lot simpler. You can go really far in terms of ui. In tkinter, beyond basics, it's good luck. I forgot to mention occasional not bugs but bites, things that you have to understand what tkinter is doing concerning references.
