Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be building advanced unit converter gui desktop app in tkinter. All the full source code of application is given below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
app.py

Now if you execute the python script by typing the below command as shown below
python app.py
