Python | asksaveasfile() function in Tkinter
Python provides a variety of modules with the help of which one may develop GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications. Tkinter is one of the easiest and fastest way to develop GUI applications.
While working with files one may need to open files, do operations on files and after that to save file. asksaveasfile() is the function which is used to save user’s file (extension can be set explicitly or you can set default extensions also). This function comes under the class filedialog.
Below is the Code:
# importing all files from tkinter from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk # import only asksaveasfile from filedialog # which is used to save file in any extension from tkinter.filedialog import asksaveasfile root = Tk() root.geometry('200x150') # function to call when user press # the save button, a filedialog will # open and ask to save file def save(): files = [('All Files', '*.*'), ('Python Files', '*.py'), ('Text Document', '*.txt')] file = asksaveasfile(filetypes = files, defaultextension = files) btn = ttk.Button(root, text = 'Save', command = lambda : save()) btn.pack(side = TOP, pady = 20) mainloop() |
