            os.system("library.py")
        else:
            print("username invalid")

`os.path.isfile(...)` will never equal a string. It returns `True` or `False`. — Bryan Oakley, Nov 08 '20 at 21:28

Try replacing the below line

if "./library/"+E1.get() == os.path.isfile("./library/"+E1.get()):

with

if os.path.isfile("./library/"+E1.get()):

You probably are confused with the return value of os.path.isfile() fn.
