# 16.1 `Tkinter` -- Python interface to Tcl/Tk

The `Tkinter` module (``Tk interface'') is the standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit. Both Tk and `Tkinter` are available on most Unix platforms, as well as on Windows and Macintosh systems. (Tk itself is not part of Python; it is maintained at ActiveState.)
