Tkinter Error ?

Scripting Issues
1

Hey Community :slight_smile:,
I know, that Tkinter has its own Community to ask such questions, but it seems, that this error only occurs, when using the Panda3d Tkinter “version”. I don’t know if it’s a mistake in the code, or just a bug.

When using

tkSimpleDialog.askstring("TITLE", "HEY TYPE SOMETHING")

(Should open a Dialog with an Entry Field)

this error occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Daniel/Google Drive/Game Engine/Geometry/GeometryMain.py", line 24, in <module>
    Engine().run()

    self.ui = GeoUI.UI(self)

    self.title(root.title())
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Process finished with exit code 1

It seams to be a problem in the Toplevel class.
They want to call a string like a function?
Is this a mistake in the code or am I just using it the wrong way?
Is Tkinter not installed properly?

Yes, I do think this is a really annoying tkInter error.
I’m also experiencing it.
Did you manage to solve it?
