Sometimes, a single country uses different units!

A simple weight converter app can be very useful.

Developing such an software is a simple way to train your Python programming skills.

So how can you use the Tkinter module to build a weight conversion system using Python?

Import the Tkinter module.

Initialize the Tkinter instance and display the root window.

Set the dimensions in pixels and the title of the window.

Define a label widget to display the header of the utility.

Organize the widgets in blocks before placing them in the parent widget using thepack()method.

Define a function,convert_to_gram().

Use theget()function to retrieve the data the user provides.

Multiply the value by 1000 to get it in grams.

Create a label to display the weight in grams and another to display the calculated value.

Similarly, define two functions,convert_to_ounce()andconvert to pound().

Perform the same steps as the functions above.

To convert kilograms to ounces, multiply the value by 35.274.

To covert to pounds, multiply by 2.20462.

Declare a label asking the user to enter the weight in kilograms.

Organize the widget using the pack manager.

Define three buttons to convert the weight in kg to gram, ounce, and pound.

Organize and specify some padding, so the buttons do not stick to each other.

Put all the code together and your weight conversion app is ready to use.

30 kilograms convert to 30,000 grams, 1,058.22 ounces, and 66.1385 pounds.

It supports cross-platform development, with customizable and ready-to-use widgets to create any tool in a matter of minutes.

If you are looking for alternatives to Tkinter, you’re able to explore the PyQt module.

PyQt is a Python binding for Qt.

you might utilize tools for networking, regular expressions, SQL databases, XML, and more.
