Configure not recognized

Question

I am trying to make a number generator yet I ran into a problem. It doesn't recognize configure. I am kind of new to tkinter and with my beginner knowledge with python, it really made my head scratching. This is the code:

from tkinter import messagebox
import random
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

window = Tk()
window.title("Random Number Generator")
window.geometry('350x200')

title_lbl = Label(window, text="Press the button to generate!").grid(row=0, column=1)

def rannum():
    ran = random.randint(0, 10000000)
    com = ans_lbl.configure(text=ran)
    
    
btn = Button(window, text='Randomize', command=rannum).grid(row=1, column=0)

ans_lbl = Label(window, text='').grid(row=2, column=0)

window.mainloop()

This is the error I recieved :

File "C:\Users\(redacted)\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1921, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "c:\Users\(redacted)\Documents\(redacted)\(redacted)", line 15, in rannum
    com = ans_lbl.configure(text=ran)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'configure'

Answer 1

ans_lbl is being assigned the value None because when you initialized it you set it to the value of Label.grid(). What you want to do is separate the Label() and .grid() calls.

Replace

ans_lbl = Label(...).grid(...)

With this:

ans_lbl = Label(...)

ans_lbl.grid(...)

I've done this below, and moved the initialization of ans_lbl up beside title_lbl for readability.

import random
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

window = Tk()
window.title("Random Number Generator")
window.geometry('350x200')

title_lbl = Label(window, text="Press the button to generate!").grid(row=0, column=1)
ans_lbl = Label(window, text='')
ans_lbl.grid(row=2, column=0)

def rannum():
    ran = random.randint(0, 10000000)
    com = ans_lbl.configure(text=ran)


btn = Button(window, text='Randomize', command=rannum).grid(row=1, column=0)


window.mainloop()

Answer 2

Can you change your method to this and try once.

def rannum():
    ran = random.randint(0, 10000000)
    # com = ans_lbl.configure(text=ran)
    ans_lbl = Label(window, text=ran).grid(row=2, column=0)
