So I have been trying to build a simple text editor with tkinter but unfortunately when I use the open() function in Python to open a specific file, an error shows up, saying 'TypeError: 'PhotoImage' object is not callable' on line 83. How is this even related to PhotoImage? Could it be possible that this is related to Image.open() ? Here's the code:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog, messagebox, ttk
import time
from tkinter.ttk import *
lim = 0
keyItems = ['s', 'x', 'v', 'c', 'o', 'h', 'e', 'n']
def disable_event():
pass
def creating():
window.destroy()
import tkintercontinued
def motion(event):
textt.config(text='Mouse x: {} Mouse Y: {}'.format(event.x, event.y))
def ssf(event):
global lim
if event.keysym == 'Control_L':
lim = 1
if lim == 1:
if event.keysym.lower() == keyItems[0]:
saveFile()
elif event.keysym.lower() == keyItems[1] or event.keysym.lower() == keyItems[2] or event.keysym.lower() == keyItems[3]:
pass
elif event.keysym.lower() == keyItems[4]:
openfiles()
elif event.keysym.lower() == keyItems[5]:
shortcut()
elif event.keysym.lower() == keyItems[6]:
quits()
elif event.keysym.lower() == keyItems[7]:
creating()
def install():
x = 0
while x < 100:
bar['value'] += 1
time.sleep(0.05)
x+= 1
p.set(str(x)+ '%')
window.update_idletasks()
bar.destroy()
def shortcut():
e = Tk()

window.mainloop()
The problem is you assigned the built in function open as a variable to PhotoImage. Now, when you call open, it fetches the value of the open variable because it's assigned a value. This will cause the error. That is why you should never use built-in functions as a variable. You can use open_img or anything that is not a keyword, a built-in function, a function you have defined.
open = Photos(nm + '\open.png', 10, 10), this is a mistake
open_img = Photos(nm + '\open.png', 10, 10)
This would work .
Then updated the menu to
fileMenu.add_command(label='Open...', command=openfiles, image=open_img, compound='left')
