Python to create a digital clock using Tkinter
Python Tkinter can be used to create all kinds of GUI programs for the web and desktop. In this article we will see how to create a digital clock displaying hour, minute and seconds live.
We use the time module to import the method strftime which displays the time in Hour, minute and seconds format. We create a canvas to hold these values. We refresh the values of strftime after every 200 milli seconds. We define a recursive function to achieve this.
Example
import time from tkinter import * canvas = Tk() canvas.title("Digital Clock") canvas.geometry("350x200") canvas.resizable(1,1) label = Label(canvas, font=("Courier", 30, 'bold'), bg="blue", fg="white", bd =30) label.grid(row =0, column=1) def digitalclock(): text_input = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S") label.config(text=text_input) label.after(200, digitalclock) digitalclock() canvas.mainloop()
Output
Running the above code gives us the following result −
