Tkinter-How to get the current date to display in a tkinter window?
To display the current date in tkinter window, we will use the datetime library.
date = dt.datetime.now()
Steps −
Import the required libraries and create an instance of tkinter frame.
Set the size of the frame using geometry method.
Call datetime.now() and store the value in a variable "date".
Next, create a label to display the date. In the text parameter of the label, pass the date value and format the data as text=f"{date:%A, %B %d, %Y}".
%A – Day of the week, full name
%B – Full month name
%d – Day of the month
%Y – Year with century as a decimal number
Finally, run the mainloop of the application window.
Example −
# Import the libraries from tkinter import * import datetime as dt # Create an instance of tkinter win = Tk() win.title("Display Current Date") win.geometry("700x350") date = dt.datetime.now() # Create Label to display the Date label = Label(win, text=f"{date:%A, %B %d, %Y}", font="Calibri, 20") label.pack(pady=20) win.mainloop()
