Still Stumped

[Milfredo]

I have watched a couple of videos and still stumped. The calc_value variable get assigned a number and I print it out and it is fine. But when I try and put it in a dictionary in another function it doesn't show up. Anyway here's code.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45

# SET  UP CALCULATOR SLIDER TO SET FACTOR WEIGHTS def get_Caclulator():     calculator= Toplevel()     global Calculator_horizontal     global factornames     global calc_value     width_of_window = 300     height_of_window = 300             screen_width= calculator.winfo_screenwidth()     screen_height = calculator.winfo_screenheight()     x_coordinate = (screen_width/2) - (width_of_window/2)     y_coordinate = (screen_height/2) - (height_of_window/2)     calculator.geometry("%dx%d+%d+%d" % (width_of_window,height_of_window,x_coordinate,y_coordinate ))     calculator.iconbitmap("c:/guis/racehorse.ico")           Calculator_horizontal = Scale(calculator, from_= -50, to = 250, length = 200, resolution = 2,orient=HORIZONTAL)     Calculator_horizontal.place(x=50, y=60)           my_label= Label(calculator, text ="Set Factor Weight", fg= "#104CD6", font = ("sans_serif" , 16)).place(x=50, y=20)       calc_button = Button(calculator, text = "Save Weight",bg="#E2F07F", width = 15,  command = set_calc_value)     calc_button.place(x=90, y=125)       def set_calc_value():     global calc_value     global factornames     global factor     global Factor_ypos     global calc_valu_pos     calc_valu_pos += 25     calc_value = Calculator_horizontal.get()     calc_value_label=Label(factor_build,text = calc_value, fg="black",font = ("sans_serif" , 14) ).place(x=1000,y=calc_valu_pos)   def set_drfvalue():           get_Caclulator()     global Factor_ypos     global calc_value     Factor_ypos += 25     a_factorname= Label( factor_build, text ="drf", fg= "black", font = ("sans_serif" , 16)).place(x=750, y= Factor_ypos)     factor_list['drf']  =   calc_value     print(factor_list['drf'])     print(calc_value)

I print calc_value in def set_calc_value(): to check it and it has a value. But when I get to the def set_drfvalue(): it doesn't show a value.

Help please

This code isn't runnable directly, so it might be something happening in another part of your code.

I do see that your button command (which is run every time the button is pressed) appears to create and place a new Label. I think modifying an existing label would be better.

[Milfredo]

Each time the button is clicked in the set_calc_value it puts an entry on the screen below the previous one. The label is modified I thought. Uses same label with a different value. And the button in get_calculator only gets clicked once and then the window is closed until another factor button is clicked which opens the calculator screen again.

The calc_value I am having trouble with only appears in these three functions. no where else in my code.
