GUIs often use an event-driven form of OO programming, the program responds to events, which are actions that a user performs. The actions that the user performs are nothing more than buttons that are pressed.

from tkinter import Tk, Label, Button

class ExampleWindow:
    def __init__(self, master):
        self.master = master
        master.title("A simple graphical interface")

        self.label = Label(master, text="This is the first window!")
        self.label.pack()

        self.greetingButton = Button(master, text="Greet", command=self.greet)
        self.greetingButton.pack()

        self.closeButton = Button(master, text="Close", command=master.quit)
        self.closeButton.pack()

    def greet(self):
        print("¡Hey!")

root = Tk()
myWindow = ExampleWindow(root)
root.mainloop()

In the code, you can notice that the greetingButton and closeButton buttons are assigned to a specific action, the former calls the “greet” function when pressed, the latter closes our window.

When the button labeled “Greet” is pressed, the following message is printed on the console:

¡Hey!
