Tk label not displaying on MacOS 13.0.1

I'm new to tkinter. I tried the execute the following:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
myLabel1 = Label(root, text="Hello World!")
myLabel1.pack()
root.mainloop()

An window shows up but there is no labels.

I'm running MacOS 13.0.1, Python 3.9.6.

Is this a bug? Am I running an obsolete version of tk?

I've tried to add a root.update() before calling mainloop() as someone suggested. That didn't resolve the issue. I've also tried to set geometry to root and that just give me a bigger empty window.

Solution 
  • pip install tkmacosx

    Try this:

    from tkinter import Tk
from tkmacosx import Label

root = Tk()

myLabel1 = Label(root, text="Hello World!")
myLabel1.pack()

root.mainloop()
