Tickle

 Was wondering where the name tkinter came from. Searched Wikipedia:

Tcl (pronounced "tickle" or "TCL";[8] originally Tool Command Language) is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. It was designed with the goal of being very simple but powerful.[9] Tcl casts everything into the mold of a command, even programming constructs like variable assignment and procedure definition.[10] Tcl supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, functional, and procedural styles.

Tk is a cross-platform widget toolkit that provides a library of basic elements of GUI widgets for building a graphical user interface (GUI) in many programming languages. It is free and open-source software released under a BSD-style software license.

In computer science, an interpreter is a computer program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program.

Tkinter is a binding to the Tk GUI toolkit for Python.

Tkinter is implemented as a Python wrapper around a complete Tcl interpreter embedded in the Python interpreter.
