[Tkinter] Top Level Window - from tkinter import *

[francisco_neves2020]

Hi guys, my main programs are based a lot of from subprocess call, but that is giving me problems (it doesn't matter why). I think i could write any code creating a new Top Level Window, but as you will see below, the main issue is from tkinter import * is not allowed. The new tkinter window code is only required that module. If i remove it, it will show only a window with a small, looks like a off button in the middle. And nothing of the remaining code. How can i make it work?

    bot.set('')

    failure_max = 3
    passwords = [('alfa', 'nenebot'), ('alfa1', 'nenebot1'), ('alfa2', 'nenebot2'), ('alfa3', 'nenebot3'), ('alfa4', 'nenebot4'), ('alfa5', 'nenebot5')]

        tk.Label(parent, text=caption).pack(side=tk.TOP)
        entry = tk.Entry(parent, **options)
        if width:
            entry.config(width=width)
        entry.pack(side=tk.TOP, padx=10, fill=tk.BOTH)
        return entry

    def enter(event):
        check_password()

    def check_password():
        """ Collect 1's for every failure and quit program in case of failure_max failures """

        if (user.get(), password.get()) in passwords:

bold, italic and underline inside python code tags doesn't work, also i can't quite follow what you are asking .

[francisco_neves2020]

bold, italic and underline inside python code tags doesn't work, also i can't quite follow what you are asking .

You can open a new tkinter window based on the main code, don't know if you saw the picture, the code requires from tkinter import *, but it gives an error if i apply it saying: import * only allowed at module level

[Yoriz]

import tkinter as tk is the preferred way of importing, see https://python-forum.io/Thread-Namespace...th-imports
you should only need one root.mainloop()
The error is because you are trying to use from tkinter import * inside a function
Imports should go at the start of your python file.

It looks like you have put two separate windows codes together in a way which they shouldn't be.

[francisco_neves2020]

I got it to work, the new window opens, but kills the main program. If you saw my post first picture the window wasn't showing nothing at all. Now on this one is showing my text (fine so far). You will understand better by this picture attached below

Resuming:
- the user will insert a password, if correct the new tkinter window, will open to display the text
- then the user should be able to return to the main program, right now it isn't happening, for some reason the main program goes blank.
- for example on the step the user input a password, that window can be closed and the person will return to the main program, on this next one it doesn't

I'm not great with tkinter but i think your code should be more along the lines of the following.
I don't totally understand tkinters tk.TK(), in WxPython you create a wx.App() but they don't quite seem to be the same thing,
so i may have some of the root stuff mixed up, someone who knows tkinter may be able to tidy that up, but it works.
