Set string to text in idle

Am new to this so apologies for the basic question
I am trying to set an input box to take letters and numbers
Unfortunately I can only set this field to numbers by using str()
I have tried messing with the code but it will not allow me to use letters
What should I be using instead of str()?
As you can see in my code example, I can only set the username and password to a numerical value rather than alpha numeric values
I believe that I have imported all the correct modules from tk
Have I set the below definitions incorrectly?
- self.Username = StringVar()
- self.Password = StringVar()
Thanks

Your question is unclear but I'll try and answer it.
To take input as a number, use:
>>>a = int(input("Enter :"))
Enter :5
>>>print(a*5)
25

Tkinter does not show one frame

I am trying to make a GUI for my program but I have changed my code a lot and I saw that GUI misses one frame but it was fine before.
Could anyone help me and tell why a frame with a button does not appear on the bottom?
Whole "button_part" object does not appear.

You never pack the button frame.

Passing values between classes in tkinter

My problem is that I want my code to take an entry from the user,
then the value that the user entered will be displayed on the toplevel page pf the previous class.
I have searched quite a bit but none of the solution worked for me.
So could any one of you generously tell me how I can change my code so that I can actually display the value entered by the user in the toplevel page?
Many thanks<3

Send the value of the Entry through to the __init__ of Demo3()
First the changes to window_one():
def window_one(self):
enterednumber = self.entry.get() # Grab the value in the Entry
self.window_one = tk.Toplevel(self.master)
self.app = Demo3(self.window_one, enterednumber) # Send it to Demo3 as an argument
And then Demo3()
class Demo3():
def __init__(self, master, enterednumber): # Reconfigure __init__ to accept the new arg
self.master = master
self.label1 = tk.Label(self.master, text=enterednumber)
self.label = tk.Label(self.master, text="Hi")
self.label.pack()
self.label1.pack()

Tkinter Python GUI Issues

Below is my code, it runs but I'm not sure how to get the "Run text" button to prompt me to open text file in new window, currently a new window appears with a "Quit" button, nothing else.

import logging
logging.basicConfig(filename= "log_file.txt", filemode = "w", level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(asctime)s %(message)s', datefmt='%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p')
logging.warning('is when this event was logged.')
class HomeScreen:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.frame = tk.Frame(self.master)
self.button1 = tk.Button(self.frame, text = 'Run Text', width = 25, command = self.new_window)
self.button1.pack()
self.frame.pack()
def openFile(self):
openfile = tkFileDialog.askopenfile().read()
text= open(openfile, 'r').read()
T.insert(1.0, openfile)
T = Text(height=10, width=100)
T.pack()
T.insert(END, "Select file to input")
B = Button(root, text="Open", command=openFile)
B.pack()
mainloop()
return
def new_window(self):
self.newWindow = tk.Toplevel(self.master)
self.app = Quit(self.newWindow)
class Quit:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.frame = tk.Frame(self.master)
self.quitButton = tk.Button(self.frame, text = 'Quit', width = 25, command = self.close_windows)
self.quitButton.pack()
self.frame.pack()
def close_windows(self):
self.master.destroy()
def main():

I'm sure my code is very messy as I'm just a beginner, some parts may not be needed, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've simplified your code a bit, but I've also enhanced it a little. I use askopenfilename rather than askopenfile, so we can get the file name and display it in the titlebar of each Toplevel window containing a Text widget.
import tkFileDialog
import Tkinter as tk
class HomeScreen:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
frame = tk.Frame(master)
frame.pack()
button = tk.Button(frame, text='Show Text', width=25, command=self.open_file)
button.pack()
button = tk.Button(frame, text='Quit', width=25, command=master.destroy)
button.pack()
master.mainloop()
def open_file(self):
filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
if not filename:
#User cancelled
return
with open(filename) as f:
filedata = f.read()
window = tk.Toplevel(self.master)
window.title(filename)
text = tk.Text(window, height=10, width=100)
text.pack()
text.insert(1.0, filedata)
def main():
root = tk.Tk()
HomeScreen(root)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
To display the text file one word at a time you can replace the open_file method with the version below. You'll also need to add the show_word method. I'm not claiming that this is the best way to achieve this effect, but at least it works. :)
def show_word(self, word):
self.text.delete(1.0, tk.END)
self.text.insert(tk.END, word)
def open_file(self):
filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
if not filename:
#User cancelled
return
with open(filename) as f:
filedata = f.read()
words = filedata.split()
window = tk.Toplevel(self.master)
window.title(filename)
self.text = text = tk.Text(window, height=10, width=100)
text.pack()
delta = 1000 #in millseconds
delay = 0
for word in words:
window.after(delay, lambda word=word: self.show_word(word))
#print word
delay += delta

If you want that "Run text" open's a file dialog change called method:
self.button1 = tk.Button(self.frame, text = 'Run Text', width = 25, command = self.openFile)

Python Tkinter: How do you create a toplevel window and destroy the previous window?

I'm making a quiz app with tkinter and i want each question in a new window, but after I create a new window i can't figure out how to destroy the previous window. Here is a rough simplified excerpt of my code:
from tkinter import *
class q1:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
Label(self.master, text='What is 3 + 3?').grid()
self.option_1 = Button(self.master, text='5', command = self.incorrect)
self.option_1.grid()
self.option_2 = Button(self.master, text='6', command = self.correct)
self.option_2.grid()
def correct(self):
self.option_1.config(state=DISABLED)
self.option_2.config(state=DISABLED)
Label(self.master, text='Correct').grid()
Button(self.master, text='Next Question', command = self.nextq).grid()
def incorrect(self):
self.option_1.config(state=DISABLED)
self.option_2.config(state=DISABLED)
Label(self.master, text='Incorrect').grid()
Button(self.master, text='Next Question', command = self.nextq).grid()
def nextq(self):
q2(Toplevel(self.master))
class q2:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
Label(self.master, text='Question 2').grid()
def window():
root = Tk()
q1(root)
root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
window()
