getting error AttributeError: '_tkinter.tkapp' object has no attribute 'getitems'


i keep getting the error AttributeError :

'_tkinter.tkapp' object has no attribute 'getitems'

i think this is because the subroutines cannot communicate with each other i have tried assigning get_items as a global variable with no results. i am trying to make a button that collects the entries in the GUI enters them into a database with Sql Lite for an inventory system for a car dealership.

from tkinter import* 
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect("E:\computing project\database of cars.db")
c=conn.cursor()



class Database:
    def __init__ ( kwargs , self, master=None ,*args):
        self.master = master
        self.heading = Label(master , text = "add to the database ", font=("ariel 35 bold") )
        self.heading.place (x=250 , y=0)

        self.name= Label(master, text= "enter product name", font=("arial 18 bold"))
        self.name.place(x=0,y=50)



        self.make_1=  Label(master , text = "enter car make ", font=("ariel 18 bold"))
        self.make_1.place(x=0,y=100)

        self.model_1=  Label(master , text = "enter car model ", font=("ariel 18 bold"),)
        self.model_1.place(x=0,y=150)

        self.regi_1=  Label(master , text = "enter registration plate", font=("ariel 18 bold"))
        self.regi_1.place(x=0,y=200)

        self.colour_1.place(x=0,y=250)


        self.cost_1=  Label(master , text = "enter cost price ", font=("ariel 18 bold"))
        self.cost_1.place(x=0,y=300)

        self.tcost_1=  Label(master , text = "enter total cost price ", font=("ariel 18 bold"))
        self.tcost_1.place(x=0,y=350)

        self.sell_1=  Label(master , text = "selling price ", font=("ariel 18 bold"))
        self.sell_1.place(x=0,y=400)

        self.tsell_1=  Label(master , text = "enter total selling price", font=("ariel 18 bold"))

Solution

  • I see two mistakes:

    First: you define method get_items (with _ in name) but you use command=self.getitems (without _ in name)

     self.b = Button(command=self.get_items)
    

    Second: you have arguments in wrong order is

    __init__(kwargs, self, master=None, *args)
    

    so it assigns class instance to variabla kwargs instead of self and it assigns root to self and later it has problem to find self.get_items because it means root.get_items

    kwargs should be at the end, and self at the beginning

    __init__(self, master=None, *args, **kwargs)
