Tkinter

Tkinter is a Python binding to the Tk GUI toolkit. It is the standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit and is Python's de facto standard GUI, and is included with the standard Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X install of Python.

The name Tkinter comes from Tk interface. Tkinter was written by Fredrik Lundh.

As with most other modern Tk bindings, Tkinter is implemented as a Python wrapper around a complete Tcl interpreter embedded in the Python interpreter. Tkinter calls are translated into Tcl commands which are fed to this embedded interpreter, thus making it possible to mix Python and Tcl in a single application.

Python 2.7 and Python 3.1 incorporate the "themed Tk" ("ttk") functionality of Tk 8.5. This allows Tk widgets to be easily themed to look like the native desktop environment in which the application is running, thereby addressing a long-standing criticism of Tk (and hence of Tkinter).

There are several popular GUI library alternatives available, such as wxPython, PyQt (PySide), Pygame, Pyglet, and PyGTK.

Too Country

by: Bill Anderson

Too country what's that
Is that like too Republican or too Democrat
Is it too far too the left too far to the right
Too straight down the middle is it too black or too white
Are the biscuits too fluffy is the chicken too fried
Is the gravy too thick are the peas too black-eyed
Is the iced tea too sweet does it have too much tang
Are there too many lemons in Mama's lemon meringue
Are the roses too red is the sunshine too bright
Are there too many stars in the heavens at night
Are there too many fish that still jump in the stream
Is the sky too blue is the clean air too clean
Too country what's that is it too many pearls of wisdom under Grandpa's old hat
Is it just too old-fashioned is it just too antique
Is the question too strong is the answer too weak
Is the grace too amazing is the steeple too tall
Are there too many yes sirs yes ma'ams and how're y'll
Is the message too real too close to the bone
Do the fiddle and steel remind you too much of home
Is honest and true just not in demand
