 : Real time currency convertor :
Prerequisites:
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 outputs the fastest and easiest way to create the GUI
applications.
Below is the implementation :
# import all functions from the tkinter
from tkinter import *

# Create a GUI window

root = Tk()
# create a global variables
variable1 = StringVar(root)
variable2 = StringVar(root)

# initialise the variables

variable1.set("currency")
variable2.set("currency")

# Function to perform real time conversion

# from one currency to another currency
def RealTimeCurrencyConversion():

# importing required libraries

import requests, json

# currency code
from_currency = variable1.get()
to_currency = variable2.get()

# enter your api key here

api_key = "Your_Api_Key"

# base_url variable store base url

base_url = r"https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function = CURRENCY_EXCHANGE_RATE"

# main_url variable store complete url

main_url = base_url + "&from_currency =" + from_currency +
"&to_currency =" + to_currency + "&apikey =" + api_key

# get method of requests module

# return response object
req_ob = requests.get(main_url)
 # json method return json format
# data into python dictionary data type.

# result contains list of nested dictionaries

result = req_ob.json()

# parsing the required information

Exchange_Rate = float(result["Realtime Currency Exchange Rate"]
['5. Exchange Rate'])

# get method of Entry widget

# returns current text as a
# string from text entry box.
amount = float(Amount1_field.get())

# calculation for the conversion

new_amount = round(amount * Exchange_Rate, 3)

# insert method inserting the

# value in the text entry box.
Amount2_field.insert(0, str(new_amount))

# Function for clearing the Entry field

def clear_all() :
Amount1_field.delete(0, END)
Amount2_field.delete(0, END)

# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :

# Set the background colour of GUI window

root.configure(background = 'light green')

# Set the configuration of GUI window (WidthxHeight)

root.geometry("400x175")

# Create welcome to Real Time Currency Convertor label

headlabel = Label(root, text = 'welcome to Real Time Currency Convertor',
fg = 'black', bg = "red")

# Create a "Amount :" label

label1 = Label(root, text = "Amount :",
fg = 'black', bg = 'dark green')

# Create a "From Currency :" label

label2 = Label(root, text = "From Currency",
fg = 'black', bg = 'dark green')
# Create a "To Currency: " label
label3 = Label(root, text = "To Currency :",
fg = 'black', bg = 'dark green')

# Create a "Converted Amount :" label

label4 = Label(root, text = "Converted Amount :",
fg = 'black', bg = 'dark green')

# grid method is used for placing

# the widgets at respective positions
# in table like structure .
headlabel.grid(row = 0, column = 1)
label1.grid(row = 1, column = 0)
label2.grid(row = 2, column = 0)
label3.grid(row = 3, column = 0)
label4.grid(row = 5, column = 0)

# Create a text entry box

# for filling or typing the information.
Amount1_field = Entry(root)
Amount2_field = Entry(root)

# ipadx keyword argument set width of entry space.

Amount1_field.grid(row = 1, column = 1, ipadx ="25")
Amount2_field.grid(row = 5, column = 1, ipadx ="25")

# list of currency codes

CurrenyCode_list = ["INR", "USD", "CAD", "CNY", "DKK", "EUR"]

# create a drop down menu using OptionMenu function

# which takes window name, variable and choices as
# an argument. use * befor the name of the list,
# to unpack the values
FromCurrency_option = OptionMenu(root, variable1, *CurrenyCode_list)
ToCurrency_option = OptionMenu(root, variable2, *CurrenyCode_list)

FromCurrency_option.grid(row = 2, column = 1, ipadx = 10)

ToCurrency_option.grid(row = 3, column = 1, ipadx = 10)

# Create a Convert Button and attached

# with RealTimeCurrencyExchangeRate function
button1 = Button(root, text = "Convert", bg = "red", fg = "black",
command = RealTimeCurrencyConversion)

button1.grid(row = 4, column = 1)

# Create a Clear Button and attached

# with delete function
button2 = Button(root, text = "Clear", bg = "red",
 fg = "black", command = clear_all)
button2.grid(row = 6, column = 1)

# Start the GUI

root.mainloop()
