Displaying Data from MySQL table

We defined my_conn as connection objectCollect the data from student_profile table by using SQLALchemy.

my_conn = create_engine("mysql+mysqldb://userid:password@localhost/database_name")try:    my_row=my_conn.execute("SELECT id,student,profile_photo FROM student_profile WHERE id=1")    student = my_row.fetchone()

Here we used student to collect data. Here is the code to display student id and name.

# displaying student id on Button b1=tk.Button(my_w,text=student[0])b1.grid(row=1,column=1)# displaying student name over buttonb2=tk.Button(my_w,text=student[1])b2.grid(row=1,column=2)

Managing image display.

import iofrom PIL import Image, ImageTk

#collecting image and displaying img = Image.open(io.BytesIO(student[2]))img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)b2 =tk.Button(my_w,image=img) # using Button b2.grid(row=2,column=1)
l2 = tk.Label(my_w,image=img) # using Label l2.grid(row=2,column=2)
