I have a Python script which generates a GUI window with tkinter library. I’d like to make some of it’s buttons display a prompt – small window to ask the user for some number (something like in JavaScript). I tried the following command:
x = tkinter.simpledialog.askstring
But it returns an error:
NameError: name 'tkinter' is not defined
and no prompt is generated, although I have imported the library in the script’s beginning:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import simpledialog
Other elements (buttons, labels etc.) in the main window work correctly. Please help.
>Solution :
askstring is part of tkinter.simpledialog so you might import it like so
from tkinter.simpledialog import askstring
usage example
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter.simpledialog import askstring
root = tk.Tk()
x = askstring("Title", "Prompt")
print(x)
root.mainloop()
