Computer science NEA- do you get marks for using tkinter?

Heard no makes are given for using CSS and HTML because they're scripting languages.

Was picking between using CSS and HTML or tkinter. Do we get marks for using tkinter (a library) alongside python?

Hey, I think you would still get marks for tkinter because it is a Python library (the language you're using is Python and since Python is accepted I wouldn't think there's any reason to not get marks for using one of the libraries)

Yes, but make sure you've got a significant self coded element:

Use of Libraries Libraries allow candidates to add functionality to their projects that they may not have the time or expertise to code themselves. Candidates will not be penalised for the use of libraries as use of libraries to tackle parts of their problem is best practice. Candidates must still ensure that there is a significant self-coded element to their project, and this is usually achieved through the code needed to interact with these libraries within their project. Sensible choice and use of libraries can be an indicator of a good level of scope in a project. Candidates must be reminded to clearly reference where libraries are used.

Do you think putting a screenshot of me importing the libraries be considered "clear reference?"

No.

Have a references section at the end and list the library and the link to the documentation.
