"ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes " for tkinter

Question

I was trying to learn to create a new window using this code:

from tkinter import *

window = Tk()
window.mainloop()

But I run into this error,

ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes

Can someone help me with this?

The code is absolutely fine and a tkinter window should pop up. A problem has emerged within your editor. Don't know if my answer helps much, but the code is fine and the editor is the problem.
