I am trying to have two windows be created in tkinter, one has buttons for many different genres, the other a blank window. When I press one of the buttons, I want that genre to appear in the other window as a label. I want to be able to click as many buttons as I want and have them appear as labels and if I click the same button again the label should be destroyed and not appear in the list. The problem I believe is the exec("global Label_"+str(n)) on line 56. P.s only code below line 44 is of concern.
If I run this code with only one variable so that I dont need to use the exec function, it works, this is the second bit of code.
Thanks in advance for any help.
