You can also edit and delete the contact.<\/p>\n<h3>Address Book Python Project<\/h3>\n<p>The objective of this project is to create an Address book using python in which the user can add a new contact, edit and delete existing contact and view all the contact.<\/p>\n<p>In this python project for beginners, the user has to click on a button which functions the user wants to access eg &#8211; To edit a contact, the user has to first select a contact then click on view button then edit the contact and then click on edit button. To add a new contact user has to click on the add button.<\/p>\n<h3>Project prerequisite<\/h3>\n<p>We build the address book project with the help of Tkinter module and basic python concept.<\/p>\n<p>Tkinter is a standard GUI library for rendering graphics<\/p>\n<p>To install the library we use the pip install command in the command prompt:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">pip install tkinter\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>Download Address Book Python Code<\/h3>\n<p>Please download the source code of address book project: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1xFD-Ol-Sagfd9PqDkKXVsf5IRVv4oVRf\/view?usp=drive_link\"><strong>Address book source code<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Project File Structure<\/h3>\n<p>These are the step to build a contact book python project:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Importing module<\/li>\n<li>Initializing window<\/li>\n<li>Define buttons<\/li>\n<li>Define functions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s start building the project<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>1.
