Window is not showing up at all in VSCode (tkinter)

Question

I'm trying out tkinter in Visual Studio Code and there is no window showing up for this code (just testing):

from tkinter import * 
Tk()

Did I miss any installations?

Answer 1

Using Tk() alone will only create an instance of the frame, you need the mainloop() option to keep the application object in a loop.

Try this code:

import tkinter
window = tkinter.Tk()

window.title('Hello Python')
window.geometry("300x200+10+20")
window.mainloop()

Answer 2

have you done the installation? if you haven't done the tkinter installation, this is installation guide

for windows :

1. To create a new Conda Python environment named <env_name> and install python 3.8, open an Anaconda Prompt or terminal and enter:

   $ conda create --name <env_name> python=3.8

2. To activate the new environment that has Python 3.8, and switch to it, enter:

   $ activate <env_name>

To verify whether Tkinter is installed ready to be loaded by Python, run the following code in a Python console:

>>> import tkinter
>>> tkinter._test()

for mac :

1. Make sure Python and pip is preinstalled on your system

to check python version :

python --version

to check pip :

pip -V

2. Install Tkinter

   pip install tk

This command will start downloading and installing packages related to the Tkinter library. Once done, the message of successful installation will be displayed.
