This is how I've always pronounced it. The toolkit in question is named “tk”, which I have only ever known to be pronounced “tee kay”. The rest of the word is an abbreviation of “interface”. So, to me “Tkinter” is pronounced “tee kay inter”. > . But it would be faster to pronounce it Speed at the expense of clarity is a goal difficult to justify in programming, and is even harder to justify in human speech. So, that basis doesn't convince me of a useful pronunciation. -- \ “[R]ightful liberty is unobstructed action, according to our | `\ will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of | _o__) others.” —Thomas Jefferson, 1819 | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
