[Tkinter-discuss] problem with pylab/tkinter?

[Michael O'Donnell]

Hi Alex,

  I don't use pylab, but I would suggest that pylab has a class Button.
You are trying to use the tkinter Button.

Possible solutions:

a) Move you "from tkinter import *" AFTER the pylab import,
and possibly this will mean the tkinter Button class will be accessed first.

b) Better: don't import the entire pylab module, do:

from pylab import myfunct1, myfunct2

(...where myfunct1, myfunct2 are the functions or classes  you want to import)

c) even better:

import tkinter
self.start_but=tkinter.Button(root,text='Generate starting population')
