# Simple Tk script to create a button that prints "Hello, world". Click on
# the button to terminate the program.
#
# The first line below imports the Tk objects into the application, the second
# line creates the main window, the third through sixth lines create the button
# and defines the code to execute when the button is pressed, the seventh line
# asks the packer to shrink-wrap the application's main window around the
# button, and the eight line starts the event loop.
