You are referring to a global screen_numbers from within a function so it is looking for a variable in the function, which there isn't.

The best is to give the variable to the function as an argument and have it return the answer.

screen_numbers = Text(screen_topside, height='fill', width='fill')

def one(screen_numbers):
    screen_numbers = screen_numbers + '1'
    return screen_numbers


new_screen_numbers = one(screen_numbers)

Thanks, but to solve it i first set the variable to global outside the function and i used
global variablename
inside the function

Quote:screen_numbers = Text(screen_topside, height='fill', width='fill')
your screen_numbers is a Text widget to manipulate the text you use value like so:
count= 1 #used to keep track of the number of ones will need to be reset
# Functions
def one():
    global count    
    screen_numbers.value= '1' * count
    count +=1
all numbers added to your screen_numbers are strings and will need to be converted to integers to evaluate their expressions. check out the module partial, it allows you to pass arguments to your number and other buttons- best of luck
