Error in python3 (TypeError: 'module' object is not callable)

Question

Im new to programming and im trying to make a simple program to replace something i copied with a string when its more than 10 characters long, this is the code:

import pyperclip
import tkinter as Tk
while True:
 r = Tk()
 r.withdraw()
 try:
      selection = r.selection.get(selection="CLIPBOARD")
 except tk.TclError:
      selection = None
      sleep(0.1)

 try:
     selection = r.selection.get(selection="CLIPBOARD")
 except tk.TclError:
     selection = None
     r.clipboard_clear()
     if len(result) > 10:
       pyperclip.copy("aaa")

But its giving me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
>>>

I understand this is probably related to the tkinter module but i dont really know what it is or how to solve it.

Answer 1

You are trying to call the Tk which is actually the alias for the tkinter module. What you would want to do in this case is:

r = Tk.Tk()

import pyperclip
import tkinter as Tk
while True:
 r = Tk.Tk()
 r.withdraw()
 try:
      selection = r.selection.get(selection="CLIPBOARD")
 except tk.TclError:
      selection = None
      sleep(0.1)

 try:
     selection = r.selection.get(selection="CLIPBOARD")
 except tk.TclError:
     selection = None
     r.clipboard_clear()
     if len(result) > 10:
       pyperclip.copy("aaa")

Answer 2

Tk is a module, basically, it's tkinter module only that u called it in another name in your code. This is why you can't do Tk() . You probably want to do something like:

r = Tk.NameOfClass()

or

from Tkinter import NameOfClass

Replace NameOfClass with the name of the class you want to use.
