While trying to initialize a StringVar() using TkInter I am getting this huge error back. So the error is as follows:
In [160]: from Tkinter import *
In [161]: p = StringVar()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-161-3e21f17f6e4f> in <module>()
----> 1 p = StringVar()
C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.pyc in __init__(self, master, value, name)
285 then the existing value is retained.

--> 287 Variable.__init__(self, master, value, name)

C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.pyc in __init__(self, master, value, name)
216 master = _default_root
217 self._master = master
--> 218 self._tk = master.tk
219 if name:
220 self._name = name
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tk'
In [162]:
Not entirely sure what is going wrong here. I am using A
Windows 7 system,
Python(x,y) version 2.7.5.2
Python 2.7.5
Within the Tkinter.py file:
__version__ = "$Revision: 81008 $"
TkVersion = 8.5
If anyone has any clue as to what is going on, then it will be greatly appreciated ...
You need to create an instance of Tkinter.Tk before you create one of Tkinter.StringVar:
root = Tk() # You must do this first
p = StringVar()
Below is a demonstration:
>>> from Tkinter import *
>>>
>>> p = StringVar()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 287, in __init__
Variable.__init__(self, master, value, name)
File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 218, in __init__
self._tk = master.tk
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tk'
>>>
>>> root = Tk()
>>> p = StringVar()
>>>
