Hostel Management System

A desktop software developed using Tkinter package

What is Tkinter ?

Tkinter is Python's Graphical User Interface package. Which most commmonly used package for developing desktop applications using Python programming language.

Python offers multiple options for developing GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, tkinter is the most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python. Python with tkinter is the fastest and easiest way to create the GUI applications. Creating a GUI using tkinter is an easy task.

To create a tkinter app:

1. Importing the module – tkinter

2. Create the main window (container)

3. Add any number of widgets to the main window

4. Apply the event Trigger on the widgets.

There are two main methods used which the user needs to remember while creating the Python application with GUI.

1. Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className=’Tk’, useTk=1):

To create a main window, tkinter offers a method ‘Tk(screenName=None, baseName=None, className=’Tk’, useTk=1)’. To change the name of the window, you can change the className to the desired one. The basic code used to create the main window of the application is:

                    
                    m=tkinter.Tk() where m is the name of the main window object
                    
                

2. mainloop():

There is a method known by the name mainloop() is used when your application is ready to run. mainloop() is an infinite loop used to run the application, wait for an event to occur and process the event as long as the window is not closed.

                    
                    m.mainloop()
                    
                

What is Hostel Management System ?

This is basic Hostel Management system which designed for education purpose only just to undertand, how a basic software works.

“HOSTEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” is software developed for managing various activities in the hostel. For the past few years the numbers of educational institutions are increasing rapidly. Thereby the numbers of hostels are also increasing for the accommodation of the students studying in this institution. And hence there is a lot of strain on the person who are running the hostel and software’s are not usually used in this context. This particular project deals with the problems on managing a hostel and avoids the problems which occur when carried manually. Identification of the drawbacks of the existing system leads to the designing of computerized system that will be compatible to the existing system with the system which is more users friendly and more GUI oriented.

This system is designed in favor of the hostel management which helps them to save the records of the students about their rooms and other things. It helps them from the manual work from which it is very difficult to find the record of the students and the information of about the those ones who had left the hostel.
