Trying to embed our tkinter GUI code into wxPython

In this recipe, we will go in the opposite direction to the previous recipe and try to call our tkinter GUI code from within a wxPython GUI.

Getting ready

We will reuse some of the wxPython GUI code we created in a previous recipe in this chapter.

How to do it...

We will start from a simple wxPython GUI, which looks like this:

Next, we will try to invoke a simple tkinter GUI.

This is the entire code to do this in a simple, non-OOP way:

#=============================================================
def tkinterApp():
    import tkinter as tk
    from tkinter import ttk
    win = tk.Tk()    
    win.title("Python GUI")
    aLabel = ttk.Label(win, text="A Label")
    aLabel.grid(column=0, row=0)    
    ttk.Label(win, text="Enter a name:").grid(column=0, row=0)
    name = tk.StringVar()
    nameEntered = ttk.Entry(win, width=12, textvariable=name)
    nameEntered.grid(column=0, row=1)
    nameEntered.focus()  
    def buttonCallback():
        action...
