How to create clickable link with Tkinter in Python with Label

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create clickable link with custom label in Python with Tkinter.

To achieve this task we are using the tkinter library for creating GUIs and webbrowser module for opening URLs.

Step 1: Importing required libraries

import tkinter as tk
import webbrowser

Step 2: Creating a GUI window using tkinter

window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Clickable Links")

• window.title(): this accepts a text that will be displayed on the title of GUI Window

Step 3: Defining functions and creating labels

def open_link():
    webbrowser.open_new("https://www.codespeedy.com/") #Link which will open when you click label

label = tk.Label(window, text="CodeSpeedy", fg="blue", cursor="hand2")

• webbrowser.open_new(): This accepts url as a parameter and open the link in the browser.
• text: This is your label which will be displayed instead of URL.
• fg: This is the text color of your label.
• cursor: This is an optional parameter, this will change your cursor icon when you hover over the text.

Step 4: Bind function with label and pack into GUI window

label.bind("<Button-1>", lambda e: open_link())
label.pack()

• here we are using lambda function because if we directly pass open_link() function, it will automatically run this function without even clicking on the label.

Step 5: Run the GUI

window.mainloop()

Output

We’ve successfully learned to create clickable link with Custom label in Python. I hope you found this tutorial informative!
