CONTEXT I programmed a hangman game on python and used "tkinter" for its GUI. It works perfectly. I switched from tkinter to "customtkinter" and "CTkMessagebox" to have a GUI with a better visual, eveyrthin works perfectly except one thing.
PROBLEM When my program check the entry of the user (to make sure it's a letter without an accent or a cedilla), a message box with an error message pops up if the entry is incorrect. But with CTkMessagebox nothin I receive the following error:
Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\thiba\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\tkinter_init_.py", line 1948, in call return self.func(*args) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\thiba\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\customtkinter\windows\widgets\ctk_button.py", line 554, in _clicked self._command() File "c:\Users\thiba\OneDrive\Documents\Studies\Programming\Python\Hangman\Hangman (with customtkinter)", line 32, in game CTkMessagebox(master=root, title="Entry error", message="Only letters (without an accent or a cedilla) can be entered.", icon="warning") File "C:\Users\thiba\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\CTkMessagebox\ctkmessagebox.py", line 57, in init super().init() File "C:\Users\thiba\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\customtkinter\windows\ctk_toplevel.py", line 36, in init super().init(*args, **pop_from_dict_by_set(kwargs, self.valid_tk_toplevel_arguments)) File "C:\Users\thiba\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\tkinter_init.py", line 2681, in init self.title(root.title()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

You have override the title() function by the following line:
root.title = "The Hangman"
So when tkinter calls root.title() internally, it raises exception.
Change the problem line to:
root.title("The Hangman")
