I tried to change the label text by pressing the "+" button, but if I run the program it is already changed to "testok" instead of "test" at start. So my question is why?

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
var = "test"
label = Label(root, text=var)
label.pack()
button_plus = Button(root, text="+", command=label.config(text=var + "ok"))
button_plus.pack()
button_minus = Button(root, text="-", command=root.destroy)
button_minus.pack()

root.mainloop()

  • Please mention the programming language. You should tag it to this question. – ElectricRouge Dec 03 '18 at 15:28

The command of button_plus is assigned the result of label.config(text=var+"ok") which is None. You can use lambda to do what you want:

button_plus = Button(root, text="+", command=lambda: label.config(text=var + "ok"))
