Tk/Tcl has long been an integral part of Python. It provides a robust and
platform independent windowing toolkit, that is available to Python programmers
using the :mod:`Tkinter` module, and its extension, the :mod:`Tix` module.
The :mod:`Tkinter` module is a thin object-oriented layer on top of Tcl/Tk. To
use :mod:`Tkinter`, you don't need to write Tcl code, but you will need to
consult the Tk documentation, and occasionally the Tcl documentation.
:mod:`Tkinter` is a set of wrappers that implement the Tk widgets as Python
classes. In addition, the internal module :mod:`_tkinter` provides a threadsafe
mechanism which allows Python and Tcl to interact.
Tk is not the only GUI for Python; see section :ref:`other-gui-packages` for
more information on other GUI toolkits for Python.
