A Simple Address Book Program in Python with GUI

An address book is a collection of contact information for individuals and organizations. This information can include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and other details. A program that allows you to manage your address book is a great tool for keeping track of your contacts. In this article, we'll show you how to create a simple address book program in Python and display the GUI using the required libraries.

In this article, we will be covering how to create a simple address book program in Python with a GUI. The GUI (graphical user interface) is built using the tkinter library in Python, which is the standard GUI library for Python.

The address book program allows you to add contacts, view contacts, and store their information such as name, phone number, email, and address. The program uses tkinter widgets such as Entry, Text, Button, Label, and Listbox to build the interface.

Before diving into the code, let's go over the basic tkinter widgets and their functions.

  • Entry widget: This widget is used to take input from the user, such as name, phone number, and email.
  • Text widget: This widget is used to take multi-line text input, such as address.
  • Button widget: This widget is used to create buttons that perform a certain action when clicked, such as adding or viewing a contact.
  • Label widget: This widget is used to display text on the screen, such as "Name", "Phone", "Email", and "Address".
  • Listbox widget: This widget is used to display a list of items, such as the names of all the contacts in the address book.

Now that you have a basic understanding of the tkinter widgets, let's go over the code.

The code starts by importing the tkinter library as "tk". Then, the "add_contact" function is defined. This function gets the values entered by the user for name, phone number, email, and address and stores them in a dictionary. The dictionary uses the name of the contact as the key and the rest of the information as the value. The function also adds the name of the contact to a listbox so that the user can view all the contacts they have added.

The "view_contact" function is defined next. This function gets the name of the selected contact from the listbox and retrieves the rest of the information from the dictionary using the name as the key. The retrieved information is then displayed in the Entry and Text widgets.

The rest of the code creates the GUI for the address book program. The tkinter widgets are created and their positions are defined using the "grid" method. The "mainloop" method is used to start the GUI and keep it running until the user closes the program.

And that's it! With this code, you can create a simple address book program in Python with a GUI. This program can be easily modified and expanded to fit your specific needs.

In conclusion, the tkinter library in Python is a powerful tool for creating GUI applications. By creating a simple address book program in Python with a GUI, we have learned how to use tkinter widgets such as Entry, Text, Button, Label, and Listbox to create a user-friendly interface.
