input box does not appear in tkinter window

Question

I have an issue with tkinter. Basically When I attempt to create an input box, the window opens with the title only.

 from tkinter import *
 window = Tk()
 window.title("name generator")

 def openInterface():
  inputLabel = Label(window, text="Enter your name")
  inputLabel.grid(row=0, column=2)
  print(inputLabel)

Am i missing something? My apologies in advance for this is a noob question.

Answer 1

You never call your openInterface function. Functions are different from code in the global scope becasue they only get executed when called, not when they are defined.

from tkinter import *
window = Tk()
window.title("name generator")
openInterface()

def openInterface():
    inputLabel = Label(window, text="Enter your name")
    inputLabel.grid(row=0, column=2)
    print(inputLabel)

Answer 2

I think you are missing two things, you haven't call funtion and also you you need to use

window.mainloop()
