Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be displaying the timepicker widget in tkinter using the tktimepicker library. All the full source code of the application is shown below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to install the below library using the pip command as shown below
pip install tktimepicker
After installing this library you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
app.py
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
import tkinter as tk from tktimepicker import AnalogPicker, AnalogThemes # note: you can also make use of mouse wheel or keyboard to scroll or enter the spin timepicker root = tk.Tk() time_picker = AnalogPicker(root) time_picker.pack(expand=True, fill="both") # theme = AnalogThemes(time_picker) # theme.setDracula() root.mainloop() |
As you can see we are importing the tktimepicker library at the very top and then we are importing the AnalogPicker and Analog Themes. Various themes are supported by this library which are shown below
- clock timepicker
- old-spin timepicker
- modern-spin timepicker
As you can see we are setting the analogPicker class and then we are setting the dracula as the theme of the timepicker. Now if you execute the python file as shown below
python app.py
As you can see we can change the time of the hours and minutes and we can manually enter the time as well and also we can select the am and pm also.
Timepicker Themes
There are various themes available for this time picker which is shown below.
Dracula
purple
Old-spin timepicker
AnalogTime Picker Full Example
Now we will be seeing the analog clock timepicker example with the user having the capability to change the time as shown below

import tkinter as tk from tktimepicker import AnalogPicker, AnalogThemes, constants def updateTime(time): time_lbl.configure(text="{}:{} {}".format(*time)) # remove 3rd flower bracket in case of 24 hrs time def get_time(): top = tk.Toplevel(root) time_picker = AnalogPicker(top, type=constants.HOURS12) time_picker.pack(expand=True, fill="both") theme = AnalogThemes(time_picker) # theme.setDracula() # theme.setNavyBlue() theme.setPurple() ok_btn = tk.Button(top, text="ok", command=lambda: updateTime(time_picker.time())) ok_btn.pack() root = tk.Tk() time = () time_lbl = tk.Label(root, text="Time:") time_lbl.pack() time_btn = tk.Button(root, text="Get Time", command=get_time) time_btn.pack() root.mainloop() |
As you can see we have the simple button to get the current time and when we click the button a new popup window appears and we see here we will set the hours and minutes and also select am or pm.
Adding the Spin Time Picker Widget in Tkinter
Now for the second example we have the spin time picker widget to pick the time. This widget is also part of the library as shown below
app.py

import tkinter as tk from tktimepicker import SpinTimePickerModern, SpinTimePickerOld from tktimepicker import constants def updateTime(time): time_lbl.configure(text="{}:{}:{}".format(*time)) # if you are using 24 hours, remove the 3rd flower bracket its for period def get_time(): top = tk.Toplevel(root) time_picker = SpinTimePickerModern(top) # time_picker = SpinTimePickerOld(top) time_picker.addAll(constants.HOURS24) # adds hours clock, minutes and period time_picker.configureAll(bg="#404040", height=1, fg="#ffffff", font=("Times", 16), hoverbg="#404040", hovercolor="#d73333", clickedbg="#2e2d2d", clickedcolor="#d73333") time_picker.configure_separator(bg="#404040", fg="#ffffff") # time_picker.addHours12() # time_picker.addHours24() # time_picker.addMinutes() time_picker.pack(expand=True, fill="both") ok_btn = tk.Button(top, text="ok", command=lambda: updateTime(time_picker.time())) ok_btn.pack() root = tk.Tk() time = () time_lbl = tk.Label(root, text="Time:") time_lbl.pack() time_btn = tk.Button(root, text="Get Time", command=get_time) time_btn.pack() root.mainloop() |
