YAML Tkinter

A utility for building Tkinter widget trees from YAML files.

This module provides the Builder class, which reads a YAML file describing the widget hierarchy and properties, then instantiates and configures Tkinter widgets accordingly. It supports custom branch classes, variable binding, and flexible widget configuration, making it easy to define complex GUIs declaratively.

YAML files should specify the widget structure, options, and variables. See the example YAML and widget classes for details.

Install

pip install yamltk

Demo

import tkinter as tk
import yamltk

class Demo(tk.Tk):
    yaml_file = 'demo.yaml'

root = yamltk.build(Demo)
root.mainloop()

demo.yaml:

Demo:
    title: Demo application
    geometry: 300x200
    children:
        - Label:
            text: Hello world!
            pack: top
