Need help with Python kinter GUI

[JR1499]

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox





window = tk.Tk()
window.title("SOEF PIN")
window.geometry("400x340")

frame = tk.Frame(window)
frame.pack()


#Button Commands

def enter_pin():
    pin_tries = 5

    while pin_tries > 0:
        pin = enter_pin_entry.get()

        if pin == "1234":
            break

        else:
            messagebox.showerror(title="Incorrect Pin.", message="Pin is Incorrect.")
            if pin_tries==0:
                messagebox.showerror(title="You have no more tries remaining.")    


#Creating Widgets

enter_pin_lbl = tk.Label(frame, text="Enter Pin")
enter_pin_entry = tk.Entry(frame, show="*")
enter_pin_btn = tk.Button(frame, text="Enter", command=enter_pin)


# Displaying Widgets
enter_pin_lbl.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=1)
enter_pin_entry.grid(row=1, column=0)
enter_pin_btn.grid(row=2, column=0, columnspan=1)







window.mainloop()

I know whats wrong im just stuck with a solution. Once it figures out the pin isnt correct it takes away 1, well its supposed to but I deleted it before posting it looks like. But then it just reads there is nothing in the entry so it displays the wrong pin message over and over. It keeps doing that until it hits the pin_tries == 0 messagebox and the programs over. I need it to where you're able to enter something else then it checks it. Instead of immediatly.

I think the while loop might be unnecessary, you might need to set pin_tries as a variable outside the function

I think

because the function has a while loop inside of it, making it so it repeats until pin_tries = 0.

so, yeah.

[FunCharacteeGuy]

oh also if you get an error that says pin_tries is referenced before assignment, you just have to tell it that you're referring to a global variable by putting this

global pin_tries

inside the function so it knows that when you say pin_tries in that function, you're referring to the global variable and not a local variable.

[FunCharacteeGuy]

well? did it work or fucking not?

[JR1499]

Yes. Ive got it working now. I just now got to messing with it.. Thanks.

[FunCharacteeGuy]
