1. Introduction
The increasing demand for interactive and user-friendly applications in
today’s digital world has made graphical user interfaces (GUIs) a vital component of
software development. Python, a versatile programming language, offers various
libraries and frameworks for building robust GUIs. Two of the most popular
frameworks in Python for GUI development are Tkinter and CustomTkinter. These
frameworks provide developers with the tools to create applications that allow users
to interact seamlessly with the underlying program, improving the overall user
experience. During my internship, I explored these frameworks to develop interactive
applications, including a task management system, a command-line calculator, a
password generator, and a rock-paper-scissors game.
1.1 Introduction to the Python GUI Frameworks
Python offers a range of libraries and frameworks that enable developers to
create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for various applications. These GUI
frameworks allow users to interact with the program through graphical elements such
as buttons, text fields, and menus, rather than relying solely on command-line inputs.
Among the available options, Tkinter stands out as the default and one of the most
widely used libraries for GUI development in Python.
Tkinter is Python’s standard GUI library, and it comes pre-installed with most
Python distributions, making it highly accessible. Tkinter provides a simple yet
powerful way to create GUI applications with basic to moderately complex designs. It
wraps the underlying Tcl/Tk GUI toolkit, which gives it cross-platform capabilities,
meaning applications built with Tkinter can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux
without modification. Tkinter offers a variety of built-in widgets such as buttons,
labels, text boxes, checkboxes, and more.
Ease of Use: Tkinter's simplicity lies in its easy-to-understand structure.
Developers can start building applications with minimal code, and it
provides enough functionality to meet the needs of most entry-level or
intermediate applications.
Basic Widgets: Tkinter provides a collection of core widgets, such as labels
for displaying text or images, buttons for executing commands, and listboxes
for selecting items from a list. These widgets are essential building blocks
for most GUIs.
1
Event Handling: Tkinter enables event-driven programming, which means
the application responds to user actions like clicks or keystrokes. Event
handling allows developers to define the application’s behavior based on
user input, making the interface interactive and dynamic.
Limitations: While Tkinter is user-friendly, it does have limitations in terms
of customization and modern design aesthetics. Applications built with
Tkinter may appear somewhat outdated or simplistic compared to modern
design standards.
To overcome these limitations, developers often turn to CustomTkinter, a
modern extension of Tkinter that provides more flexibility and design enhancements.
CustomTkinter addresses some of the design constraints of standard Tkinter, offering
more sophisticated widgets and styling options that are more aligned with current
UI/UX trends. It builds on the simplicity of Tkinter while providing developers with
the ability to create modern, polished, and responsive applications.
Advanced Customization: CustomTkinter allows developers to apply
advanced styling options, such as custom themes and improved layout designs.
This enables more control over the appearance and feel of the application,
resulting in GUIs that look more professional and appealing to users.
Enhanced Widgets: In addition to the standard widgets provided by Tkinter,
CustomTkinter includes enhanced versions of basic widgets like buttons and
sliders, which can be easily customized to fit the desired look of the
application. It also introduces more complex widgets like navigation bars,
scrollable frames, and tabbed views, which make it easier to build applications
with multiple views or sections.
Responsive Design: With CustomTkinter, developers can create responsive
interfaces that adapt to different screen sizes, an important feature for
applications used across various devices. This allows for the creation of
scalable and flexible applications that maintain usability regardless of the
platform.
Modern Look and Feel: One of the main advantages of CustomTkinter is its
support for modern design elements. It introduces sleek styles, gradients,
shadows, and more to give the application a contemporary look. These visual
2
improvements help bridge the gap between Tkinter's functionality and the
modern expectations of user interfaces.
By combining Tkinter and CustomTkinter, developers can leverage the ease
and accessibility of Tkinter with the added design sophistication of CustomTkinter.
This combination enables developers to create applications that not only function well
but also meet modern UI design standards. The blend of these frameworks is
particularly useful for small to medium-sized projects where rapid development and
flexibility are key.
Additionally, the Python GUI ecosystem includes other options like PyQt and
Kivy, which offer different advantages depending on the project’s complexity.
However, for developers seeking a balance between ease of use, functionality, and
customization without needing to learn a more complex framework, Tkinter and
CustomTkinter are ideal choices.

individual components functioned as expected. Python’s unittest framework
was utilized to create and run test cases for critical functions across all
applications. This ensured that any changes or updates to the code did not
introduce new bugs.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Once the applications reached a stable state,
UAT was conducted with a group of users who represented the target audience.
This phase allowed real users to evaluate the applications based on their needs
and expectations, providing valuable feedback that informed further
refinements.
7.2 Testing of Individual Applications
The testing of the Task Management System focused on validating core
functionalities, including adding, viewing, editing, and deleting tasks. Specific
scenarios tested involved adding tasks with both valid and invalid inputs to ensure
that appropriate error messages were displayed. Additionally, the task display was
checked to verify that tasks updated in real-time after user actions. Sorting and
filtering functionalities were also tested to confirm that they operated as intended. The
results indicated that all core functionalities worked smoothly, with users appreciating
the feedback provided through the GUI during task management operations.
23
For the Command-Line Calculator, unit tests covered a wide range of
arithmetic operations, including edge cases. Key testing scenarios included
performing basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division) with various inputs, such as negative numbers and decimals. Invalid inputs,
like strings or special characters, were also tested to ensure robust error handling. The
speed of calculations was assessed by timing the execution of complex operations to
confirm performance metrics. The results showed that the calculator accurately
performed calculations and handled invalid inputs gracefully, confirming its reliability
for users.
The Password Generator application underwent testing to ensure it produced
strong, randomized passwords. Testing scenarios included generating passwords with
varying criteria, such as length and the inclusion of special characters, to verify the
diversity and randomness of outputs. Additionally, password strength was checked
using external tools to ensure compliance with security standards. Testing results
confirmed that the application consistently produced secure passwords with a high
level of randomness, satisfying user security expectations.
