TKInter for python ui really is kinda bad, so I made this. Uses standard xml markup to map text to tkinter widgets, with support for adding custom widgets and using Textvar and other linked variables as normal python variables.
Custom attributes are labelled below, however all default tkinter args are supported within the attributes, dispite not being labeled below. For example relief="sunken" on a frame such as grid or vertical would act the same as a normal tkinter frame

<style/>Style object to set re-occuring args of widgetsref="title"Name of the stylestyle="title"Set the style of any element with this attribute (Not to be used within the style object)
font.size="16"Font size (Can also be used in any element with text)font.family="Arial"Font family (Can also be used in any element with text)font.bold="false"Font bold (Can also be used in any element with text)font.italic="True"Font italic (Can also be used in any element with text)font.underline="True"Font underline (Can also be used in any element with text)font.overstrike="False"Font overstrike (Can also be used in any element with text)fg="SystemHighlight"Any tkinter arg can be applied in a style object (Setting the foreground colour here as an example)
Example: tkml.TKMLElement("pygameframe", PygameFrame, hasFont=False) is used in pygame_frame.py to add the custom widget "<pygameframe>" using class PygameFrame.
Use this to add complex custom tk elements while still retaining the simplicity of tkml
