tk is not defined - jip31 - Jan-08-2022
Hi
The code below works when I execute it with idle or in CLI but when I execute it with vscode, I have the message "NameError: name 'Tk' is not defined"
from tkinter import *
fenetre = Tk()
The name of my py file is well different than "tkinter.py"
What is wrong please?

Don't name your file
tkinter.py It shadows the tkinter module you want to use.

Try this to see what gets imported
import tkinter print(tkinter)

tk is a nickname for tkinter when defined as such:
import tkinter as tkthus your Tk() statement would be
fenetre = tk.Tk()or you can say:
from tkinter import Tkand then
fenetre = Tk() would be valid

unfortunately no (see screenshot)

The error message doesn't match your code on the screenshot. The code says
fenetre = Tk() and the error message says fenetre = tk(). It is not possible.

This helped me. Thanks! I didn't name my file tkinter.py but I had made one previously.
Then my other programs that used tkinter stopped working because of that tkinter.py that was located in the common python folder I was using.
duh!! I can't believe that I made such a dumb mistake. Here I was uninstalling and reinstalling tkinter over and over trying to fix the problem but the only problem was that I had made a local tkinter.py that was being imported instead of python importing the real tkinter.
aye aye aye!
