-Tk/Tcl has long been an integral part of Python.  It provides a robust and
-platform independent windowing toolkit, that is available to Python programmers
-using the :mod:`tkinter` package, and its extension, the :mod:`tkinter.tix` and
-the :mod:`tkinter.ttk` modules.
-
-The :mod:`tkinter` package is a thin object-oriented layer on top of Tcl/Tk. To
-use :mod:`tkinter`, you don't need to write Tcl code, but you will need to
-consult the Tk documentation, and occasionally the Tcl documentation.
-:mod:`tkinter` is a set of wrappers that implement the Tk widgets as Python
-classes.  In addition, the internal module :mod:`_tkinter` provides a threadsafe
-mechanism which allows Python and Tcl to interact.
-
-:mod:`tkinter`'s chief virtues are that it is fast, and that it usually comes
-bundled with Python. Although its standard documentation is weak, good
-material is available, which includes: references, tutorials, a book and
-others. :mod:`tkinter` is also famous for having an outdated look and feel,
-which has been vastly improved in Tk 8.5. Nevertheless, there are many other
-GUI libraries that you could be interested in. For more information about
-alternatives, see the :ref:`other-gui-packages` section.
+The modules described in this chapter allow writing graphical user interfaces
+for your program using the Tcl/Tk platform-independent windowing toolkit.
