Question

i write a hello world app in tkinter python, but i recive next message: 'module' object has no attribute 'Frame'

import _tkinter as tk

here is the error

class Application(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.pack()
        self.createWidgets()
    def createWidgets(self):
        self.hi_there = tk.Button(self)
        self.hi_there["text"] = "Hello World\n(click me)"
        self.hi_there["command"] = self.say_hi
        self.hi_there.pack(side="top")

        self.QUIT = tk.Button(self, text="QUIT", fg="red",
                                        command=root.destroy)
        self.QUIT.pack(side="bottom")

    def say_hi(self):
        print("hi there, everyone!")

root = tk.Tk()
app = Application(master=root)
app.mainloop()

why this are happening?

Answer 1

You should use Tkinter (tkinter if you use Python 3.x), not _tkinter:

import Tkinter as tk

---

According to Tkinter module documentation:

... The Tk interface is located in a binary module named _tkinter. This module contains the low-level interface to Tk, and should never be used directly by application programmers.

Answer 2

Don't call your file as tkinter.py, rename if it is necessary.

Answer 3

The solution here is to use the correct syntax for the associated Python version.

Tkinter >> Python 2.x

tkinter >> Python 3.x

Despite this, I had errors because I had called my file tkinter.py, and was presented with the error:

module 'tkinter' has no attribute 'Frame'

Once I'd renamed my file to something else entirely, in my case I chose tk-testing.py it was fine in both Python 2.x and Python 3.x, whilst using the correct naming conventions above.

Python 2.x

import Tkinter as tk

Python 3.x

import Tkinter as tk
