How to create a GUI TOOLKIT (for Python)

Hei there are a lot of Gui Toolkits out there for example Tkinter. But how do you create your own modules that create a GUI. Or does anyone have a source where i can find the Tkinter Toolkit code? Help is much appreciated z77

It think that you cannot build a GUI with Python: it's require low level access to system ressources, and need to be close of OS and hardware ( graphics cards ). Usually, those kind of GUI frameworks provided as module for Python, are mainly written in C/C++ ( at least compiled languages :P ). You can only emulate some, because you need a GUI to be able to draw something else than text on screen ^^

Oh man, it reeeeally depends on what you plan to achieve, what platform will you be using (desktop/mobile) and what OS (Windows/Linux/Android/iOS) - those would be first things to establish before digging deeper into it.

Necessarly: you can... If you're interrested by the ( probably lot of ) things to know about it, you may look at open source projects in Linux world: there are many offers available in active development, and some are ported on other OS, but usually, other OS provide and favorize the built-in GUI ;)
