Tkinter book for Python 2.7, but using Python 3.5/3.6 - Luke_Drillbrain - Apr-21-2017
I haven't been this thrilled about a thrift store find since I found my favorite quarterback's NFL jersey in my size for 4 bucks. I've found a book about creating GUIs with tkinter for Python at a local thrift store. It was mixed in with obsolete computer books such as books on MS Access 2000, DBASE, and Lotus 123. $2 has landed me what would have been an expensive purchase at Amazon.
This one is slightly dated too, but I think I can use it. It's for Python 2.7, but I'm using Python 3.5 on my Linux PC and 3.6 on my Windows one. So far, from googling, I've determined I can use the book anyway if I watch the following:
1. Spell it "tkinter" instead of "Tkinter".
2. Watch for print commands missing the parentheses.
My question: Is there anything else I need to watch for?

Snippsat just announced https://python-forum.io/Thread-Release-of-IPython-6-0
that IPython 6 no longer will support anything below Python 3.3
Also, you can download a great tkinter reference manual (PDF) here: http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/index.html

i think that most if not all of the tkinter related changes between python2.x and python3.x is just module name changes and locations
