It does me too. But there are differences in the syntax.
When you get to lists, tuples, and dictionaries . . .
Then some of the power available starts to become clear.

And then one can import functions from other places. Like
math, and tkinter. One can also import functions one has
written and put in other files.

from tkinter import *
quadrum = Tk()
quadrum.geometry("600x800+100+100") # Make the Window on the screen.
#
zx=300 # X ordinate of origin
zy=300 # y ordinate of origin
sczl=50 # default scale value for numbering and drawing
#
# Functions to draw things
#
from drawfun_g import drawaxis, drawpoint, drawgraph # Import the three functions.
from drawfun_g import addlabels # Places non-changing labels
#

'from tkinter import * ' is where I bring tkinters functions and make them
available inside my program. 'from drawfun_g' is where I import those
three functions for drawing the coordinate axis etc. etc.

There are also lots of function blocks available for python.

And I'm just dabbling in it.

Zim.
