Tkinter Apps

for python 3+
client.py on your machine:

import tkinter
import http.client

myWindow = tkinter.Tk()
#replace your server IP:port here:
httpServ = http.client.HTTPConnection("192.168.0.19", 5000)
httpServ.connect()

def sendData(event):
    httpServ.request("GET", "/listen?message=blah%20blah")
    response = httpServ.getresponse()
    resultLabel.configure(text=response.read())
    httpServ.close()

btnGo = tkinter.Button(myWindow,
                       text="waiting",
                       fg="magenta")
btnGo.bind("<ButtonPress>",sendData)
btnGo.pack(side="top")
resultLabel = tkinter.Label(text="...")
resultLabel.pack(side="top")
myWindow.title("client app")
myWindow.geometry("300x300")
myWindow.configure(background='salmon')
myWindow.mainloop()

server.py on your server:

from flask import Flask
from flask import request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/listen", methods=["GET"])
def connectionWithClient():
    message = request.args.get("message")
    return "received " + message + " ok"

app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000, debug=True)
