Multithreading is a powerful concept in programming, allowing developers to execute multiple tasks concurrently and improve overall program performance. In Python, the threading module provides a convenient way to implement multithreading. When working with threads, it's often necessary to receive callbacks to handle events or synchronize the execution of different threads. In this tutorial, we'll explore various techniques for receiving thread callbacks in Python. Threads in Python Before delving into thread callbacks, let's briefly review the basics of threading in Python. The threading module offers a high-level interface for creating and managing threads. Threads are lightweight processes that share the ... Read More

While Tkinter excels in creating dynamic applications, certain challenges arise when attempting to manipulate the positions of widgets. In this tutorial, we will explain an advanced Tkinter technique and show how you can move a button beyond its parent's confines. Understanding Tkinter Hierarchy Tkinter follows a hierarchical structure where widgets are nested within their parent widgets. A widget's position and visibility are constrained within the boundaries of its parent. This limitation can be a hurdle when attempting to move a widget outside its parent's area. However, by utilizing Toplevel windows, we can create a workaround to overcome this constraint. Creating ... Read More

GUI applications often require a clear separation between the presentation of data (view) and the application logic (controller). In Python's Tkinter, separating the View from the Controller is important for writing scalable code. In this tutorial, we will explore the concept of separating the view and controller in a Tkinter application and provide a recent example of a to-do list application. Understanding the MVC Design Pattern The Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern is a software architectural pattern commonly used in GUI applications. It divides the application into three interconnected components − Model − Represents the application's data and business logic. ... Read More
