Chapter 11. Wrapping Up – Packaging Our Applications to Share

In this chapter, we are going to have a brief look at some of the widgets provided with Tkinter (and ttk) that we did not find a use for during our application development. We will go over very small samples of each and take a look at how each could be used in a real application.

Afterward, we are going to cover how we can ship our GUI applications to users without them needing to install Python or use the command line. Tools exist to pack Python applications into a single program for many desktop OSes, including Linux, Windows, and macOS.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Unexplored widgets from Tkinter and ttk
• Packaging applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS

Let's begin with a look at a few widgets that we have not managed to make use of with our three example applications.
