I am learning about Tkinter and was wondering if it would cause errors if I did the following:
import tkinter as tk #import modules
from tkinter import ttk
parent=tk.Tk() #create first instance
card1="k spades"
card2="k diamonds"
comboform=ttk.Combobox(parent,textvariable='form',values=[card1,card2,"both","neither"])#create combobox input form
comboform.grid(row=0,column=0)#added to grid
parent.geometry("200x200")
parent.mainloop()#displays tkinter window
#window exited
parent=tk.Tk()#new instance created
label=tk.Label(parent,text="hi")#label produced
label.pack()#added to window
parent.mainloop()
If I click the exit cross is that the same as parent.destroy(); is that good practice? I know you're only supposed to run mainloop() once and have one Tk() instance but if it's destroyed is it going to cause problems? It's not like I'm creating a class the produces a Tk() instance, where there's a risk of multiple instances existing at once.
I am hoping to, eventually, have an application running in the IDLE and then have a tkinter window appear, presenting an input widget of some kind. After the user gives their input, the window would close and the user would continue in the main window. But could I then do it again, opening new windows (like the above code) on the provision that the instance of Tk() is destroyed each time?
