Interactive periodic table with Tkinter & python


There are two mistakes in this code specific to your question on button widget non-appearance.

  1. At line 522, you need to grid your app, i.e you need to add a.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')

  2. You need to comment out line 507, i.e #self.mainloop(). You only need use .mainloop() once. Instead, you had twice used it.

There appears to be other error(s) in this code. I recommend you add a column of button widgets at a time to help you learn tkinter. I have attached the corrected code here below.

I struggled to get the code to run per Sun Bear. I had to change the lambda function to get the text , add some blank lines to get the screen to look nicer when picking. I can send full script, ask to timhockswender@gmail.com

Change all lamba to:command=lambda text=b[1]+b[2] : self.name(text) ).grid(row=r, column=c)Modify label to:self.topLabel = tk.Label(self, text="\n\n\n\nClick the element you would like information about.", font=20)
