I am having an issue of finding the bug in my code in relation to the folder path using filedialog. I have the following code
import tkinter
import tkinter.ttk
from tkinter import filedialog
from tkinter import *
global user_input
def create_widgets_in_first_frame():
# Create the label for the frame
first_window_label = tkinter.ttk.Label(first_frame, text='Window 1')
first_window_label.grid(column=0, row=0, pady=10, padx=10, sticky=(tkinter.N))
folder_path = StringVar()
# Create the button for the frame
first_window_quit_button = tkinter.Button(first_frame, text = "Quit", command = quit_program)
first_window_quit_button.grid(column=1, row=1, pady=10, sticky=(tkinter.N))
#var = IntVar()
entry1 = tkinter.Entry(first_frame)
entry1.grid(column=0, row=1, pady=10,sticky=(tkinter.N))
user_input = entry1.get()
first_window_diffbutton = tkinter.Button(first_frame, text="Price difference",command=avgprice)
first_window_diffbutton.grid(column=2, row=1, pady=10,sticky=(tkinter.N))
def browse_button():
# Allow user to select a directory and store it in global var
# called folder_path
global folder_path
filename = filedialog.askdirectory()
folder_path.set(filename)
return filename
def call_first_frame_on_top():
# This function can be called only from the second window.
# Hide the second window and show the first window.
second_frame.grid_forget()
first_frame.grid(column=0, row=0, padx=20, pady=5, sticky=(tkinter.W, tkinter.N, tkinter.E))
def quit_program():
root_window.destroy()

# extract time size for merge

df_time_size.loc[:, 'time'] = df_time_size.loc[:, 'time'] + time_interval
# inner join dataframe by size&time

Answer
To use
folder_path.set(...)
you have to first create
folder_path = StringVar()
global doesn’t create variable but it is only used in function to inform this function to use external/global variable when you use = to assign value (instead of creating local variable).
The same problem you will have with user_input.
So you could create variables at start
root_window = tkinter.Tk() user_input = '' # it creates global variable folder_path = StringVar() # it creates global variable
and it resolves problem with these variables
EDIT: I found that you use folder_path = StringVar() in create_widgets_in_first_frame but it create local variable. You have to uses global to inform function to assign StringVar() to external/glboal variable
def create_widgets_in_first_frame():
global folder_path # inform function to assign value (`=`) to external variable `folder_path`
folder_path = StringVar()
and then it will create global folder_path and you don’t have to create it at start.
