CURRENCY TRANSFIGURE

INTORDUCTION:
The Currency Converter in Python is a simple project developed using python
3.6.8 version. This project is a GUI [Graphic User Interference] application
which converts Currency from one unit to another, for example: euros to
pounds, rupees to dollars, etc… Also, this app is capable of handling all types of
expectations of the business people. This project is an interesting as well as a
useful project.

OBJECTIVES OF CURRENCY TRANSFIGURE:

 It maintains real-time information on current market or bank exchange

rates so, that the calculated result changes whenever the value of either of

the component currencies does.

 They do so by connecting to a database of current currency exchange

rates.

 The frequency at which currency converts update the exchange rates they

use varies.

 Currency Transfigures usually display a value that is not biased towards

buying or selling.

 This is useful when estimating the value of goods or services, basic

accounting, invoicing and preparing financial plans and reports.


PREQUISTICS:

The Real Time Currency Converter using Python requires you to have basic


knowledge of python programming and the python game library.

 tkinter – For User Interface (UI)


 requests – to get url

#pip install tkinter


#pip install requests

Tkinter:
Tkinter is one of those great built-in Python libraries that has been around for a
long time; it is used to create snazzy graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for
desktop applications.
Requests library:
The requests library is the de facto standard for making HTTP requests in
Python. It abstracts the complexities of making requests behind a beautiful,
simple API so that you can focus on interacting with services and consuming
data in your application.

BASIC CODING FOR CURRENCY TRANSFIGURE:

# mkdir currencyconverter
# cd currencyconverter
# python -m venv env
# .\env\Scripts\activate.bat
# pip install requests
