Currency Converter Python Program

Overview

This Python project aims to provide a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for converting currency from one currency to any other currency in real-time. The program utilizes the customtkiter library for GUI development and the forex-python library for currency conversion.

Features

• Real-time currency conversion with a single button click.
• User-friendly interface for input and output currency values.
• Supports conversion between a wide range of currencies.

Prerequisites

Before running the program, ensure you have the following libraries installed:

• customtkinter
• forex-python
• pandas
• pillow

You can install the required libraries using the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The requirements.txt file is present in this repo itself.

How to Use

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Install the required libraries as mentioned in the "Prerequisites" section.
3. Run the CurrencyConverter.py script to launch the GUI application.

Getting Started

1. Import the necessary modules from customtkiter and forex_python.
2. Create a GUI window with input and output currency value fields, along with a "Convert" button.
3. Implement the currency conversion function using the forex_python library.
4. Link the "Convert" button to call the conversion function and update the output currency value field accordingly.

Limitations

• The program requires an active internet connection to access real-time currency conversion rates.
• Currency conversion rates may vary based on the API used.
• Due to the limitations of the Google Translate API, extensive usage may be rate-limited.
• The GUI library has set limitations, demining the applications' user-friendly aspect.
