I see two methods for using the tkinter module with python classes.

• the first method uses the super() method.
• the second method does not.

So the example code looks like this:

import tkinter as tk


class MyClass(tk.Tk):
    ''' class using super '''
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.title('class using super')
        self.mainloop()
        
        return
    
        


class MyOhterClass:
    ''' class that does not use super '''
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.win = tk.Tk()
        self.win.title('class NOT using super')
        self.win.mainloop()

        return
    
    
# main guard idiom
if __name__=='__main__':
    app_1 = MyClass()
    app_2 = MyOhterClass()

Both of the classes work.

It looks like i can achieve exactly the same with both (as far as i can tell). The only difference being self compared to self.win for creation of the actual tkinter window.

But which of the two class methods is preferable (if any) ?
