Question

I am trying to write a procedure that will automate the procedure of making a tkinter window, so I am trying to use the open() function to open a txt file (probably should be a .py shouldn’t it?) that a procedure that makes the window, the code I am trying to have it write is:

def a_procedure():
    window = Tk()
    #rest of code necessary to make a Tkinter window

but the problem is, when I use

open()
textfile.write("def a_procedure()"/
"window = Tk()")

what I get in the text file is: def a_procedure(): window = TK() #rest of text

Is there (a)A way to write multiple lines with
open()
or (b)A better way to write a procedure with a procedure

Answer 1

You can use multi-line strings:

textfile.write("""
def a_procedure():
    window = Tk()
""")

Just make sure to keep stuff indented properly.

Why do you need to generate Python from a Python script?
