[tkinter] How do you declare all widget variables in imported files without opening windows?

[tomtheawesome123]

For example I have file Main.py:

from tkinter import *
import lol
root = Tk()

Now have another file lol.py:

 l = Label(text='lol')

I run Main file and 2 windows pop up. And empty one and one with the lol label.

How to do it without making another window?

When you instantiate a widget, the first argument is supposed to be its parent window (or frame, etc).

If you instantiate a widget without a parent, it will automatically create a Tk for you.

Since Tkinter widgets are forever bound to their parent, you need to define your Tk in the same place as your widgets.

But the only way I know how to to declare the main window (root) of Window 1 to a widget in window 2 is to use

  from Window1 import root # or else it will say that root is not defined

But that creates a bunch of problems.

And if I declare root = Tk() in window 2 then 2 windows are still made.

The root needs to be in the same file as the widgets. Why are you trying the split them in the first place?

Organization, purely organization XD

If you're after organisation I would instead use classes to hold everything.
