Tkinter text insert: " 'Nonetype' object has no attribute 'insert'
insert, nonetype, python, tkinter, user-interface
Solution
The `.pack` method of a widget always returns `None`. So, you need to place the calls to `.pack` on their own line:
chatlog=Text(root, height=10, state=DISABLED)
chatlog.pack(side=TOP, fill=X)
entry=Entry(root, textvariable=msg)
entry.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X)
button=Button(root, command=postaction, text="Button")
button.pack()
Problem
Relatively new to coding in general, and have been trying to create a simple chat client for Python. Trying to work the GUI, and have encountered the problem shown below. I have a functioning GUI and use the "example.get()" function to retrieve the string text from an entry box. The program then prints the text to the command prompt (Just to prove it's been retrieved) and then should place it in a text box, however it gives me a "Nonetype" error. Code is below. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks ``` from tkinter import * #Create GUI root=Tk() root.title("Chat test") root.geometry("450x450+300+300") #Declare variables msg=StringVar() #Get and post text to chat log def postaction(): msg1=msg.get() print(msg1) chatlog.insert(INSERT,msg1+'\n') root.mainloop() #Build GUI components chatlog=Text(root, height=10, state=DISABLED).pack(side=TOP, fill=X) entry=Entry(root, textvariable=msg).pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X) button=Button(root, command=postaction, text="Button").pack() ```
