Re: Tkinter app=App(root) problem

This is my first day working with Tkinter.  I'm using python2.3 on
WindowsXP. I found this program and entered it.

from Tkinter import *

class App:
    def _init_(self,master):

          ^^^^^^

This should be __init__ (the underscores should be doubled). Python "magic methods" are all named in this way.

        frame = Frame(master)
        frame.pack()

        self.button = Button(frame, text = "Quit", fg = "red", command
=frame.quit)
        self.button.pack(side=LEFT)

        self.hi_there = Button(frame, text = "Hello", command =
self.say_hi)
        self.hi_there.pack(side=LEFT)

    def say_hi(self):
        print "hi there, everyone!"

root = Tk()
app = App(root)
root.mainloop()

When I run the code in IDLE I get the initial frame but no buttons with
the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\INTERNET\Desktop\hello2.py", line 18,
in ?
    app = App(root)
TypeError: this constructor takes no arguments

I have also tried to save the program as with a pyw extension.  Nothing
happens when I try to run it with that extension.

That's not strictly true. Nothing *appears* to happen, because the same error message is produced but there's no windows console to display it in.
