What is the correct/official/proper/recommended way of accomplishing drag/drop in tkinter? My documentation section 24.1.1 includes:
Tkdnd Drag-and-drop support for Tkinter. This is experimental and should become deprecated when it is replaced with the Tk DND.
but I can find no other official documentation. Does Tkinter have drag/drop support at all? Is this something version dependant? Is this something not yet included in tk(tcl) which will then filter through to tkinter?
I should stress that I am talking about drag/drop between different applications and that I am currently using python 2 (although any solution which relies on python 3 would still be of interest).

However, the simplest way to enable dragging from a widget is to reimplement the widget's mousePressEvent() and start a drag and drop operation: def mousePressEvent(self, event): if (event. button() == Qt. LeftButton and iconLabel.
PAGE is an drag-and-drop GUI generator, bearing a resemblance to Visual Basic. It allows one to easily create GUI windows containing a selection of Tk and ttk widgets. Use it to build GUIs in Python and Tcl/tk. But before you install it you must download Activestate Tcl/tk software.
Tkinter Designer was created to speed up the GUI development process in Python. It uses the well-known design software Figma to make creating beautiful Tkinter GUIs in Python a piece of cake 🍰 . Tkinter Designer uses the Figma API to analyse a design file and create the respective code and files needed for the GUI.
Tkinter has no built-in support for dragging and dropping between applications. Tkdnd is, AFAIK, the only way to accomplish it without writing the low level code yourself.
