I'm having trouble with an application in Tkinter. The program displays a button that has a picture on it and that button takes you to a website about that picture, but that is not where the issue lies. There is another module that I have found on an internet tutorial for tooltips (those popups when you hover over a button, and when imported it does work fine, however, there is a weird side effect. An extra window pops up behind the intended one with just a button that says 'hello' and the title of the window is Tk. If you could help me get rid of that window without breaking my code I would be grateful.
MAIN APP:
#Okami Clock.py
from Tkinter import *
import webbrowser
#For some reason the tooltip module has the side effect of opening an
#unwanted window along with the normal window
from ToolTip import *
class App:
def __init__(self, master):
frame = Frame(master)
frame.pack()
buttonImage = PhotoImage(file = 'Okami Rejuvenation.gif', master=root)
self.button = Button(frame, image=buttonImage, command=self.infoOpen)
b = self.button
self.button.image = buttonImage
self.button.pack()
t1 = ToolTip(b, text="The Rejuvenation Power")
def infoOpen(self):
webbrowser.open("http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa012101a.htm", new=2) #Will go to relevant webpage
#If hour=(1-12) display corresponding button
#Create Window
