[Moderator Brian Masinick]

I’m starting again at the site https://www.codeunderscored.com/make-digital-clock-python/ to copy and investigate a clock script written in Python.

I found multiple clock projects that may help a novice python program writer.

I was able to grab 3 examples, change the % variable to display time the way I prefer it and they all work.

# PyClock.py from https://www.codeunderscored.com/make-digital-clock-python/
# Copied by Brian Masinick on Saturday, June 18, 2022

# importing the entire tkinter module
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *

# to retrieve the system's time, you need to import the strftime function
from time import strftime

# creation of the tkinter window
main = Tk()
main.title('The digital clock in Python')

# This function displays the current time on the label defined herein
def displayTime():
	string = strftime('%r')
	clock_label.config(text = string)
	clock_label.after(1000, displayTime)

# creating an attractive look:  needs styling the label widget
clock_label = Label(main, font = ('calibri', 42, 'bold'),
			background = 'purple',
			foreground = 'white')

# defining how to place the digital clock at the centre tkinter's window
clock_label.pack(anchor = 'center')
displayTime()

mainloop()
