Issue in Tkinter with winfo_class() and LabelFrame - ReDefendeur - Oct-04-2020
Hello,
I'm ReDefendeur and I would like to tell you about a potential bug that I found in Tkinter.
When we do widget.winfo_class()
this returns the class of the widget so I use it with a getattr(object, name[, default]) however for the class
LabelFrame, it returns Labelframe (no Shift to "F") which creates an error
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
widget = tk.LabelFrame(root)
widget_class = widget.winfo_class()
# with bad class
print(widget_class)
try:
getattr(tk, widget_class)(root)
print("OK")
except AttributeError:
print("ERROR")
# corrected
if widget_class == "Labelframe":
widget_class = "LabelFrame"
try:
getattr(tk, widget_class)(root)
print("OK")
except AttributeError:
print("ERROR")Output:Labelframe
ERROR

Hi ReDefendeur, I'm not really familiar with tkinter. So I can't tell if this is really a bug. Anyway, this forum is not really the place for reporting potential bugs. Probably this is the right place for you to look: https://docs.python.org/3/bugs.html
