Tk from python is pretty damn convenient, being as it's always there. Not the most modern toolkit for sure, but always being there is a pretty compelling feat

Tk from python is pretty damn convenient, being as it's always there. Not the most modern toolkit for sure, but always being there is a pretty compelling feature for some GUI projects.

FWIW, ubuntu python3 does not install Tk by default.

  Don't use system python. Use a virtualenv and install your own python. I would expect system python to only install what is needed.

    I think aidenn0 was just replying to the claim that "it's always there".

Since it came up, Tkinter's drag and drop story is pretty grim too. I've used Tkinter with python to make a whole bunch of quick utilities (sync tools for non-techies, XML editing stuff for file applications which lack needed tools, etc.) and think it's very under appreciated.

It's not always there. Like it's not there on MSYS2.
