I'm creating a small app that just gets jokes from an API using ttkbootstrap. The problem is there are 2 windows showing when I run the app. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Here's the code:

solution is to explicitly create your "Window" first and then set that as the parent of your "Label" and "Button" widgets.

import requests
import ttkbootstrap as tb
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *

def get_joke():
    url = "https://icanhazdadjoke.com"
    headers = {'Accept': 'application/json'}
    joke_time = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json().get('joke')
    label.config(text=joke_time)
    print(joke_time)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app  = tb.Window(themename='darkly')
    app.title('Joke App')
    app.geometry('1280x900')

label = tb.Label(app, text="", font=("Poppins", 16), bootstyle='default')
label.pack(padx=5, pady=10)
btn = tb.Button(app, text="Get Joke!", command=get_joke)
btn.pack(padx=5, pady=10)

app.mainloop()

Something like this, but you need to test it out.
