Labels not defined in tkinter app

Question

I'm trying to make a basic window with the text "t" inside using Tkinter, however when running the code the shell spits out "NameError: name 'Label' is not defined". I'm running Python 3.5.2.

I followed the tutorials but the problem is in the label = Label(root, text="test") line.

import tkinter

root = tkinter.Tk()
sheight = root.winfo_screenheight()
swidth = root.winfo_screenwidth()
root.minsize(width=swidth, height=sheight)
root.maxsize(width=swidth, height=sheight)

label = Label(root, text="test")
label1.pack()

root = mainloop()

Is the label function different in 3.5.2?

Solution

You never imported the Label class. Try tkinter.Label

Check the import statements for those tutorials

Maybe they imply from tkinter import *

Did mean tkinter.Label due to how you imported it? Label is a class, not function.

You need to properly format the code in your answer. See How do I format my code blocks
