Question

I am trying to learn Python and trying something GUI in Python and came across this Tkinter module. My code runs but the window does not appear when I run. My code is as follows:

from Tkinter import *
#to create a root window 
root = Tk()

The program runs, gives no errors but the window does not show up.

Add this to your code root.mainloop(), Here’s a tutorial.

In response to your comment

#Also note that `from <module> import *` is generally frowned upon
#since it can lead to namespace collisions. It's much better to only
#explicitly import the things you need.
from Tkinter import Tk, Label
root = Tk()
w = Label(root, text="Hello, world!")
w.pack()
root.mainloop()
