Python 3.6 tkinter says GROOVE is not defined

Question

The below program was working fine few minutes back. I made a change,ran the code, made a small mistake, Spyder crashed and now it either cannot find Frame or Groove or something else. At the moment it says GROOVE not defined.

Tried writing it in lower case and with quotes. When I do with quotes it says: TclError: bad relief "Groove": must be flat, groove, raised, ridge, solid, or sunken. When I do lower or upper case without quotes says groove not defined.

from RiskFactorConversion import *
from tkinter import ttk, StringVar, Frame, Label, Tk, Entry

mainwindow = Tk()
mainwindow.title("Risk Factor Conversion")
datatype = StringVar()
dataconvention = StringVar()
mdlname = StringVar()
instancevalue = StringVar()
axisvalue = StringVar()


def g():
    datatype = e1.get()
    dataconvention = e2.get()
    mdlname = e3.get()
    instancevalue = e4.get()
    r1 = rates.srtqualifier(mdlname,datatype,dataconvention,instancevalue)
    l5["text"] =r1.makequalifier()

def f():
    datatype = e5.get()
    dataconvention = e6.get()
    axisvalue = e8.get()
    fx1 = fx.felixfxvol(datatype,dataconvention,axisvalue)
    l11["text"] =fx1.fxvol()

def h():
    datatype = en1.get()
    dataconvention = en2.get()
    fx2 = fx.murexfx(datatype,dataconvention)
    la4["text"] =fx2.makequalifier()

mainwindow.mainloop()

use `print(tk.GROOVE)` and you will see text `"groove"`. You can use text `relief="groove"` too. — furas, Apr 10 '19 at 13:50

Groove is a constant defined in Tkinter and since you are only importing specfic functions from Tkinter that doesn't include Groove, you need to add GROOVE to it or add

import tkinter as tk

and then set relief=tk.GROOVE

That makes complete sense! in the second line I imported GROOVE and other functions it runs now. But may I ask another question, when I close my program it crashes with saying Tk_GetColorFromObj called with non‑existent color! Is it possible to do something that this doesn't happen? – Varun Yadav Apr 10 '19 at 13:12
groove is not a function. `GROOVE` is a constant defined in tkinter. – Bryan Oakley Apr 10 '19 at 13:25
Thanks for the catch, I changed it in my answer. – D.Sanders Apr 10 '19 at 13:46
