Make Digital Clock Using Python language

Digital Clock Using Python


In this code, we create a Tkinter window with a label that displays the current time. The update_time() function is called every second using the after() method of the Tk() object, which updates the label text with the current time using the time library. The clock display is updated every second.

You can modify the code to change the font, background color, and other attributes of the clock display to your liking. 

Here's an example code in Python that creates a simple clock using the Tkinter GUI library:


python
import tkinter as tk
import time

def update_time():
    current_time = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    clock_label.configure(text=current_time)
    root.after(1000, update_time)

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Simple Clock")

clock_label = tk.Label(root, font=('calibri', 40, 'bold'), background='black', foreground='white')
clock_label.pack(fill='both', expand=1)

update_time()

root.mainloop()
This is a Python script that creates a simple clock using the tkinter library. Here's a detailed breakdown of the code:
  • Importing Libraries: The code starts by importing two libraries: tkinter and time. tkinter is a Python library that is used to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs), while time provides functions to work with time values.

  • Defining update_time() function: The update_time() function is defined to update the clock's display with the current time. It does this by getting the current time using the strftime() method of the time library, which formats the time as a string in the format "%H:%M:%S". This string is then assigned to the text property of the clock_label widget

  • Using after() method: The root.after() method schedules the update_time() function to be called every 1000 milliseconds (1 second). This ensures that the clock display is updated once every second.

  • Creating the Tk root window: The Tk() constructor of the tkinter library creates the root window for the application. The window is given a title "Simple Clock".

  • Creating the Label widget: A Label widget is created using the Label() constructor of the tkinter library. The widget is configured with a font, background color, and foreground color using the font, background, and foreground parameters respectively. The clock_label widget is then packed into the root window using the pack() method with the fill and expand parameters set to both and 1 respectively, which makes the widget fill the entire window.

  • Starting the clock: The update_time() function is called once to start the clock updating when the program starts running.

  • Running the GUI application: Finally, the    mainloop() method of the root window is called to start the GUI application's event loop, which waits for user input and handles events. The mainloop() method runs until the window is closed by the user.
       
       And here I am using pycharm IDE. so you can also use Other IDE for run this code.
