NameError: name 'Frame' is not defined (Python)


I have constructed a messaging application, but it seems to have incorrect syntax:

 from tkinter import messagebox


from AESEncDec import *
from MD5Hashing import *
from RSAEncDec import *

color = 'lightblue' #color our background


class Application(Frame):

    def __init__(self, root=None):

        Frame.__init__(self, root)
        self.frame_width = 700
        self.frame_height = 400

        # Set configuration our frame
        self.config(width = self.frame_width, height = self.frame_height, bg = color) 
        self.pack()

        # Create textBox for input data
        self.textbox_one = Text()
        self.textbox_one.place(x = 30, y = 170, height = 200, width = 300 )

        # Create textBox for result
        self.textbox_two = Text()
        self.textbox_two.place(x = 370, y = 170, height = 200, width = 300 )

        label_input_text = Label( text = "Input text: ", bg = color)
        label_input_text.place(x = 30, y = 155, height = 10, width = 70 )

During execution I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/artur/Documents/MScProject/MSc Project/Task #179276/main_program.py", line 11, in class Application(Frame): NameError: name 'Frame' is not defined

What might be the problem?


Solution

  • Frame is a class from the tkinter module.

    To fix:

    from tkinter import Frame
    

    See an example in the official documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/tkinter.html#a-simple-hello-world-program

    You also need to import Text and Label:

    from tkinter import Frame
    from tkinter import Text
    from tkinter import Label
    

    Or:

    from tkinter import *
    

    Here is how you can fix your code (I removed the unused imports):

    import tkinter
    
    color = 'lightblue'  # color our background
    
    
    class Application(tkinter.Frame):
        def __init__(self, root=None):
            super(Application, self).__init__(root)
            self.frame_width = 700
            self.frame_height = 400
    
            # Set configuration our frame
            self.config(width=self.frame_width, height=self.frame_height, bg=color)
            self.pack()
    
            # Create textBox for input data
            self.textbox_one = tkinter.Text()
            self.textbox_one.place(x=30, y=170, height=200, width=300)
    
            # Create textBox for result
            self.textbox_two = tkinter.Text()
            self.textbox_two.place(x=370, y=170, height=200, width=300)
    
            label_input_text = tkinter.Label(text="Input text: ", bg=color)
            label_input_text.place(x=30, y=155, height=10, width=70)
    
    
    root = tkinter.Tk()
    app = Application(root)
    app.mainloop()
