Python: Tkinter Askyesno Method Opens An Empty Window

I use this to get yes/no from user but it opens an empty window: from Tkinter import * from tkMessageBox import * if askyesno('Verify', 'Really quit?'): print 'ok' And this e

Solution 1:

Tkinter requires that a root window exist before you can create any other widgets, windows or dialogs. If you try to create a dialog before creating a root window, tkinter will automatically create the root window for you.

The solution is to explicitly create a root window, then withdraw it if you don't want it to be visible.

You should always create exactly one instance of Tk, and your program should be designed to exit when that window is destroyed.

Solution 2:

Create root window explicitly, then withdraw.

fromTkinterimport *
from tkMessageBox import *
Tk().withdraw()
askyesno('Verify', 'Really quit?')

Not beautiful solution, but it works.

UPDATE

Do not create the second Tk window.

from Tkinter import *
from tkMessageBox import *

root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
showinfo('OK', 'Please choose')
root.deiconify()

# Do not create another Tk window. reuse root.

root.title("Report month")
