How to properly import tcl file - python

I am trying to use the Azure theme in a tkinter application i made. I used the code from github to import the theme(https://github.com/rdbende/Azure-ttk-theme). I put the "azure.tcl" file in the folder with the python file and got the error "_tkinter.TclError: couldn't read file "./theme/light.tcl": no such file or directory". I then tried making a simpler tkinter program with the same ttk theme import code from before but this time in it's own folder with the tcl file. I still got the same error message. When i download the file from github, i ran the example python file and worked just fine.
Here is the code i use to import the file.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import Label, ttk
root = tk.Tk()
root.tk.call("source", "azure.tcl")
root.tk.call("set_theme", "dark")
root.geometry("300x300")
L1 = Label(root, text="Hello world")
L1.grid(row=1, column=1)
root.mainloop()

If you do not have this "TKinterModernThemes" library, then you should also install it with below code:
pip install TKinterModernThemes
Then, you can keep your script as it is but just a few arrangements.
Importing Library:
import TKinterModernThemes as TKMT
Threat like window.root is your tk.Tk() object:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import Label, ttk
import TKinterModernThemes as TKMT
window = TKMT.ThemedTKinterFrame("%yourProjectName","azure","dark")
window.root.geometry("300x300")
L1 = Label(window.root, text="Hello world")
L1.grid(row=1, column=1)
window.root.mainloop()

"cannot import name 'geometry' from 'tkinter'"

I am trying a "Hello World" test on a GUI window, imported from tkinter. The problem starts when I try to run it and an error pops up in the terminal of VScode:
cannot import name 'geometry' from 'tkinter'.
import csv
from fileinput import filename
import os
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import Tk, Button, Frame, Entry, END
from tkinter import geometry
class attendance_tester(Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None):
Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.pack()
root = Tk()
root.geometry("800x800")
frm = ttk.Frame(root, padding=10)
frm.grid()
ttk.Label(frm, text="Hello World!").grid(column=0, row=0)
ttk.Button(frm, text="Quit", command=root.destroy).grid(column=1, row=0)
app = attendance_tester(master=root)
app.master.title("Student Attendance Program")
app.mainloop()
root.destroy()
from attendance_create import (func_create, func_edit_add,
func_ask_edit, func_edit_change, func_edit_sub,
func_edit_view, func_open, func_first_change)
with open(r"C:\\Users\\user_name\\Desktop\\attendance_sheet.csv") as file:
csv_file_read = csv.reader(file)
for row in csv_file_read:
print(row)
func_open()
attend_test = attendance_tester(root)
root.mainloop()
I have tried seemingly every solution I could find on the internet. I really need some help.
You don't need to import geometry to use it. Just remove the import line and it should work.
you shouldnt import it from the first place you just need to import the tkinter itself just remove that line and it should be just fine
There is no reason to import geometry, it works without that import line.
Also, you have a few duplicate imports which may become confusing. It's better to stick to fewer imports:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import Tk, Button, Frame, Entry, END

Why tkinter filedialog is looking different after using a pyglet window?

I have used a tkinter.filedialog with the pyglet library. But an old file explorer pops up when I open that filedialog. Normally it opens the native/modern file explorer of windows, but it is showing this behavior after importing the pyglet module. Any solution to get back the new filedialog?
Here is a basic code to reproduce the issue:
from tkinter import Tk, Button, filedialog
import pyglet #Try commenting this import to test the filedialog
root= Tk()
root.geometry("200x100")
window = pyglet.window.Window(20, 20, "Pyglet_window") #Pyglet window
def open_file():
file=filedialog.askopenfilename()
btn= Button(root, width=10,bg="#FFFFFF",fg="black", text="Open File",command=open_file)
btn.grid(padx=50,pady=20)
root.mainloop()
My results:

Python TkInter create a button to open a specific directory

I want to create a button that opens the special directory like "C:\Users\", But as I searched, I did not find any code except the following code:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import filedialog
gui = Tk()
gui.geometry("100x100")
def getFolderPath():
filedialog.askdirectory()
btnFind = ttk.Button(gui, text="Open Folder",command=getFolderPath)
btnFind.grid(row=0,column=2)
gui.mainloop()
What is the correct way to solve this problem?
Use os.startfile("C:\\Users") to use the system file explorer to open the directory.

How to open a exe file using python Tkinter

I am trying to open a exe file from C drive by clicking a button from my GUI and up till now i am unable to select the specific file. Can i know if there is any function to directly open the file in Tkinter. Currently,tkFileDialog.askdirectory only direct me to the FILES.
import Tkinter
import tkMessageBox
import tkFileDialog
import os
import subprocess
top = Tkinter.Tk()
def run():
File = tkFileDialog.askdirectory()
os.system(File)
b = Tkinter.Button(top, text = 'DAQoutput', command= run)
b.pack()
top.mainloop()
Directly using Tkinter? No there is no command for it but you don't need one. Tkinter is a GUI toolkit and that's all it does.
Instead use os.system() to launch your exe.
Your script should look something like this:
import Tkinter
import tkMessageBox
import tkFileDialog
import os
top = Tkinter.Tk()
def run(self):
File = tkFileDialog.askdirectory()
os.system(File)
b = Tkinter.Button(top, text = 'DAQoutput', command= self.run)
b.pack()
top.mainloop()

Tkinter not working in cmd (working in IDLE)

I am trying to display a directory selection dialog box (for getting a path and then for saving downloaded stuff).The code runs fine in IDLE but when i try to run it in CMD i get this error
NameError: name 'Tk' is not defined
I am using tkinter for gui.
Code Snippet
from tkinter import filedialog
root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
filename = filedialog.askdirectory()
Using Python 3.4.3. Any help/suggestions?
The statement from tkinter import filedialog only imports the filedialog module from tkinter. If you want the usual Tkinter stuff, you have to import that too. I'd recommend import tkinter as tk and then referring to it with e.g. root = tk.Tk() so you don't just dump everything into the global namespace. Or, if you really just want the root object, use from tkinter import Tk.
from tkinter import Tk
from tkinter import filedialog
root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
filename = filedialog.askdirectory()
