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?

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()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

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