Student registration form template for tkinter

Name, email, course dropdown, year radios and a terms checkbox.

What this template shows you

• Reading four different input types in one handler — Entry, Combobox, Radiobutton and Checkbutton
• Grouping radiobuttons with a shared variable so only one can be chosen
• Validating before acting, and reporting the result in a label

The Python it generates

This is the actual main.py you get when you download it: standard-library tkinter, no framework, yours to edit:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk


class Application:
    def __init__(self, root):
        self.root = root
        root.title("Student registration")
        root.geometry("460x440")

        self.year_var = tk.StringVar()
        self.checkbutton1_var = tk.IntVar()

        self.label1 = tk.Label(root, text="Student registration")
        self.label1.place(x=30, y=20, width=260, height=28)

        self.label2 = tk.Label(root, text="Full name")
        self.label2.place(x=30, y=70, width=90, height=26)

        self.entry1 = tk.Entry(root)
        self.entry1.place(x=140, y=68, width=280, height=28)

        self.label3 = tk.Label(root, text="Email")
        self.label3.place(x=30, y=110, width=90, height=26)

        self.entry2 = tk.Entry(root)
        self.entry2.place(x=140, y=108, width=280, height=28)

        self.label4 = tk.Label(root, text="Course")
        self.label4.place(x=30, y=150, width=90, height=26)

        self.combobox1 = ttk.Combobox(root, values=["Computer Science", "Mathematics", "Physics", "Design"])
        self.combobox1.place(x=140, y=148, width=280, height=28)

        self.label5 = tk.Label(root, text="Year")
        self.label5.place(x=30, y=190, width=90, height=26)

        self.radiobutton1 = tk.Radiobutton(root, text="Year 1", variable=self.year_var, value="Year 1")
        self.radiobutton1.place(x=140, y=188, width=90, height=26)

        self.radiobutton2 = tk.Radiobutton(root, text="Year 2", variable=self.year_var, value="Year 2")
        self.radiobutton2.place(x=240, y=188, width=90, height=26)

        self.radiobutton3 = tk.Radiobutton(root, text="Year 3", variable=self.year_var, value="Year 3")
        self.radiobutton3.place(x=340, y=188, width=90, height=26)

        self.checkbutton1 = tk.Checkbutton(root, text="I agree to the terms", variable=self.checkbutton1_var)
        self.checkbutton1.place(x=140, y=228, width=280, height=26)

        self.button1 = tk.Button(root, text="Register", command=self.on_button1)
        self.button1.place(x=140, y=272, width=130, height=34)

        self.label6 = tk.Label(root, text="")
        self.label6.place(x=30, y=330, width=400, height=60)

    def on_button1(self):
        name = self.entry1.get().strip()
        email = self.entry2.get().strip()
        course = self.combobox1.get()
        year = self.year_var.get()
        agreed = self.checkbutton1_var.get()
        if not name or not email:
            self.label6.configure(text="Enter a name and an email address.")
        elif not course or not year:
            self.label6.configure(text="Choose a course and a year.")
        elif not agreed:
            self.label6.configure(text="Please agree to the terms first.")
        else:
            self.label6.configure(text=name + " registered for " + course + ", " + year)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    root = tk.Tk()
    app = Application(root)
    root.mainloop()

Save it and run it the usual way:
