How to call messagebox from tkinter?

Question

I'm creating a Tkinter-based GUI in Python and I have a problem: messagebox does not appear when I'm getting data from the Entry widget. How can I solve it?

from tkinter import *
import random


win = Tk()
win.title("Sample")
win.resizable(False, False)
win.configure(bg="#767676")

def game():
    entry = Entry_field.get()
    days = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Sunday", "Saturday"]
    randomise = random.choice(days)
    messagebox.showinfo("Ответ", randomise)

Label_field = Label(win, text="Choose your day!", font=("outrun", 10, "bold"))
Label_field.grid(row=0, column=0)

Notification_Label = Label(win, text="Enter your name here", font=("montserrat", 10, "bold"), bg="#EF9A9A")
Notification_Label.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=W)

Entry_field = Entry(win, width=30)
Entry_field.grid(row=1, column=1)

Button_field = Button(win, text="Press", command=game)
Button_field.grid(row=1, column=2)

win.mainloop()

You need to put this line at the top: import tkinter.messagebox as messagebox — Ed Ward

Put this at the top of your code and everything will work fine: from tkinter import messagebox. — DaniyalAhmadSE

You are trying to use the showinfo function from the tkinter.messagebox module, but haven't imported it. You need to add import tkinter.messagebox as messagebox or from tkinter import messagebox line to the top of your code. Here is the full fixed code:

from tkinter import *
import tkinter.messagebox as messagebox
import random


win = Tk()
win.title("Sample")
win.resizable(False, False)
win.configure(bg="#767676")

def game():
    entry = Entry_field.get()
    days = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Sunday", "Saturday"]
    randomise = random.choice(days)
    messagebox.showinfo("Ответ", randomise)

Label_field = Label(win, text="Choose your day!", font=("outrun", 10, "bold"))
Label_field.grid(row=0, column=0)

Notification_Label = Label(win, text="Enter your name here", font=("montserrat", 10, "bold"), bg="#EF9A9A")
Notification_Label.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=W)

Entry_field = Entry(win, width=30)
Entry_field.grid(row=1, column=1)

Button_field = Button(win, text="Press", command=game)
Button_field.grid(row=1, column=2)

win.mainloop()

I think using from tkinter import messagebox is a better way.
