How to Create Digital Clock In Python Tkinter
In this Python tutorial we will create a digital clock using the Tkinter library for the graphical user interface.
It continuously updates every second to display the current time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
What We Are Gonna Use In This Project:
- Python Programming Language.- Tkinter for GUI.
- VS Code Editor.
- VS Code Editor.
Project Source Code:
import tkinter as tk
from time import strftime
def time():
# Get the current time in the specified format
string = strftime("%H:%M:%S %p")
# Update the label text with the current time
lbl.config(text = string)
# Schedule the time function to be called after 1000 milliseconds (1 second)
lbl.after(1000, time)
# Create the main Tkinter window
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Digital Clock")
# Create a label for displaying the digital clock
lbl = tk.Label(root, font=('Helvatica', 40, 'bold'), background="#2f3640",
foreground="#fbc531")
# Pack the label to the center of the window
lbl.pack(anchor = 'center')
# Call the time function to start updating the clock
time()
root.mainloop()
The Final Result:
