Change words on tkinter Messagebox buttons

messagebox, python, python-3.x, tkinter

Solution

Why not open a child window thus creating your own box with your own button like this:

from tkinter import *
def messageWindow():
    win = Toplevel()
    win.title('warning')
    message = "This will delete stuff"
    Label(win, text=message).pack()
    Button(win, text='Delete', command=win.destroy).pack()
root = Tk()
Button(root, text='Bring up Message', command=messageWindow).pack()
root.mainloop()

Problem

I'm using tkinter's "askokcancel" message box to warn the user, with a pop-up, of an irreversible action. ``` from tkinter import Tk Tk().withdraw() from tkinter.messagebox import askokcancel askokcancel("Warning", "This will delete stuff") ``` I'd like to change the text of the 'OK' button (from 'OK') to something like 'Delete', to make it less benign-looking. Is this possible? If not, what is another way to achieve it? Preferably without introducing any dependancies...
