16.1.2 Tkinter Life Preserver
</A>
This section is not designed to be an exhaustive tutorial on either
Tk or Tkinter. Rather, it is intended as a stop gap, providing some
introductory orientation on the system.
<LI>Tkinter was written by Steen Lumholt and Guido van Rossum.
<LI>Tk was written by John Ousterhout while at Berkeley.
<LI>This Life Preserver was written by Matt Conway at
the University of Virginia.
<LI>The html rendering, and some liberal editing, was
produced from a FrameMaker version by Ken Manheimer.
<LI>Fredrik Lundh elaborated and revised the class interface descriptions,
to get them current with Tk
4.2.
<LI>Mike Clarkson converted the documentation to
<span class=
"LaTeX">LaTeX
</span>, and compiled the
User Interface chapter of the reference manual.
