• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

What exactly is the problem? The code would be run the same way regardless of if you're using Tkinter.

[vast sierra]

it is like this but i think i added a window in it but i dont know how to see and open the window that i made

im always runing my code like in the pic

[empty trout]

how are you running it?

[short laurel]

Show your code

!code

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

family_name = input("whats your family name? ")
age = int(input("when did you born? "))
money = int(input("how much money do you have? "))
if money > 500000:
    welth = "rich"
else:
    welth = "poor"

print(name, family_name, age, welth)

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox

app = tk.TK()

Hey @vast sierra!

Please edit your message to use a code block

Add a py after the three backticks.

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

[vast sierra]

win R
cmd
and type the path of the progect

if im not wrong, if you have an input, python wont execute any code below the input until you enter something for it

[vast sierra]

yes i know and the code is working but there is no window

and its should be an window there

[short laurel]

What happens after you enter 4 inputs?

[empty trout]

add app.mainloop() to run it

there isnt a loop running the tkinter window

[vast sierra]

only print the inputs and do some math to the money

[vast sierra]

oh yes wait i will try it

[short laurel]

Ryan's right that you're missing a call to mainloop. You need that to hand control over to Tkinter

[empty trout]

did it work?

[vast sierra]

i forgot how to enter the path in the smd (:

[empty trout]

cd path/to/folder

[empty trout]

then python filename.py to run

[empty trout]

what's first?

[vast sierra]

the name of it is first program

i think he is taking the first word

[empty trout]

ah...

this is why we dont use spaces in filenames

replace the file name with first_program.py

[vast sierra]

okay wait (:

[empty trout]

you could get it to work if you used quotations like "first program.py", but it's better if you just dont add spaces in file names

[vast sierra]

its worked but there is no window

[empty trout]

you need to do all the inputs before the tkinter code executes

im guessing you havent installed tkinter as well?

[gloomy condor]

no need to install it, it's part of the python standard library

[vast sierra]

and there is something worng

[empty trout]

right, I forgot 😭

[empty trout]

the text tells you what's wrong

[vast sierra]

its was TK and i make it Tk with smal k
but its didnt work and he still tell me the same

[empty trout]

you might not have saved the file lol

[vast sierra]

(: i didnt think i need to save it cuz i was go off and come back and the changes stays

ohh daamnnn

thanks

[vast sierra]

and you made me learn a lot of things thanks alot

[empty trout]

np 👍

[candid kite]

if u want to run ur file name that has a space you can do it like first" "project.py

[gloomy condor]

rather just have the whole file name inside the quotes

[candid kite]

that can be done too

[gloomy condor]

it's easier if there are several spaces in the name of the file

[candid kite]

yea windows does that on its own when u hit some letters and tab

[gloomy condor]

anyways, super important lesson, always make use you have saved your files before running anything, otherwise you are running the old version of the code since last time you saved the file
learning this the hard way makes it stick much better though 😉

[gloomy condor]

yes, nowadays, linux/unix has been doing that (or escaping each space with a backslash) for decades when you tab out file names
