Python - Creating an instance of a module, getting an error

I am creating a universal text field that can be used in many python turtle projects. I am trying to create an instance of it but I get this error:
>>> import TextField
>>> tf = TextField('None', False)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
tf = TextField('None', False)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
>>>
What in a module causes this type of error? I completely wrote this module and I'm getting an error creating an instance of it :( ... What do I need in this module to make it 'callable'? I have tried adding a def __call__(self): but that doesn't affect the problem at all, nor create any errors.
Here is the beginning of the script where the problem is most likely happening:
# Created by SUPERMECHM500 # repl.it
# Edited by cdlane # stackoverflow.com
class TextField:
TextFieldBorderColor = '#0019fc'
TextFieldBGColor = '#000000'
TextFieldTextColor = '#ffffff'
ShiftedDigits = {
'1':'!',
'2':'#',
'3':'#',
'4':'$',
'5':'%',
'6':'^',
'7':'&',
'8':'*',
'9':'(',
'0':')'
}
def __init__(self, command, CanBeEmpty): # Ex. textField = TextField('Execute()', True)
self.CmdOnEnter = command
self.turtle = Turtle()
self.CanBeEmpty = CanBeEmpty
self.turtle.speed('fastest')
self.inp = []
self.FullOutput = ""
self.TextSeparation = 7
self.s = self.TextSeparation
self.key_shiftL = False
......

The module is not the class. If your class TextField is in a module called TextField, then it is referred to as TextField.TextField.
Or change your import to
from TextField import TextField

raise AttributeError(name) AttributeError: LCC_GetChannelHandle

I am very new in python cffi. I have to access my temprature module by using its Index or with its channel name. I am trying with both as you can see in my QmixTC class. I am getting attribute error.

How to display SQL data into GUI list widget?

I was wondering how to display information from an database table onto a listwidget or something similar. This is for a flashcard app, and the one questions is supposed to show at a time. Then when the click to reveal button is clicked the corresponding answer is supposed to show, but at the moment nothing is shown in the list widgets.
I don't understand why nothing is being shown in the GUI.
Here is my Code -
from PyQt4 import QtGui
from PyQt4 import QtCore
import sys
import flashcard
import os
import sqlite3
class FlashCardApp(QtGui.QMainWindow, flashcard.Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(self.__class__,self).__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
self.questions = []
self.answers = []
self.currentQ = 0
self.RevealAnswerBtn.clicked.connect(self.disA)
def dispQ(self):
print("display question {}".format(self.currentQ+1))
self.listQuestionWidget.clear()
if self.questions:
self.listQuestionWidget.addItem(self.questions[self.currentQ])
def disA(self):
self.listAnswerWidget.clear()
if self.answers:
self.listAnswerWidget.addItem(self.answers[self.currentQ])
def setData (self, questions, answers):
self.questions = questions
self.answers = answers
def run(self):
print ("start")
self.currentQ = 0
self.dispQ()
def main():
questions = []
answers = []
connection = sqlite3.connect("login.db")
c = connection.cursor()
c.execute ("SELECT Question FROM Flashcards")
resultq = c.fetchall()
questions.append(resultq)
c.execute ("SELECT Answer FROM Flashcards")
resulta = c.fetchall()
answers.append(resulta)
connection.close()
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
form = FlashCardApp()
form.setData(questions,answers)
form.run()
form.show()
app.exec_()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
but then i get this error -

Python and tkinter: NameError: global name 'roomChange' is not defined

I'm receiving the following error:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python33\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1475, in __call__
return self.func(*args)

NameError: global name 'roomChange' is not defined
When attempting to run the following code:
from tkinter import *
import tkinter.messagebox
def displayText():

global roomChange
if roomChange.get().strip() == "":
tkinter.messagebox.showerror("Invalid Value", "Please enter a valid classroom name.")
else:
tkinter.messagebox.showinfo("Temporary Window", "Text value = " + roomChange.get().strip())
def roomChanger():
chrm = Tk()
chrm.title("Change Room")
chrm.wm_iconbitmap('./Includes/icon.ico')
chrm["padx"] = 40
chrm["pady"] = 20
# Create a text frame to hold the text Label and the Entry widget
textFrame = Frame(chrm)
#Create a Label in textFrame
roomChangeLabel = Label(textFrame)
roomChangeLabel["text"] = "Enter name of classroom: "
roomChangeLabel.pack(side=LEFT)
# Create an Entry Widget in textFrame
roomChange = Entry(textFrame)
roomChange["width"] = 50
roomChange.pack(side=LEFT)
textFrame.pack()
roomChangeButton = Button(chrm, text="Submit", command=displayText)
roomChangeButton.pack()
chrm.mainloop()
testButton = Button(window, text='Change Room', command=roomChanger)
testButton.place(x = 825, y = 360)
Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem?
Thanks

In roomChanger() you assign to roomChange:
roomChange = Entry(textFrame)
so you need to mark that name as a global inside that function too. Add a global roomChange statement in that function.
displayText() on the other hand, never tries to assign to roomChange and the global statement in that function can safely be removed.

I had the same problem.
Here was my solution:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
Some sort of namespace glitch. That second line shouldn't be necessary. Technically from a syntax perspective import * implies import messagebox too because it's part of it all.
Use those two lines, take away import tkinter.messagebox

Class Variable Retrieval in Python

This is a GUI I’ve been writing for a script I already have working. What I’m struggling with here is retrieving the information in the textboxes.
Under the definition generate I am able to pop a name off of listx but I am unable to grab the local variable entry from any of the instances of the new_title_box class.
from Tkinter import *
import ttk
boxvar=""
folder=""
listx=[]
count = 1
myrow = 1
class new_title_box:
def __init__(self,name):
global myrow, count, listx
self.entry = StringVar()
self.name = name
self.name = ttk.Entry(mainframe,width=45,textvariable=self.entry)
self.name.grid(column=1,row=myrow+1,sticky=(N,W))
listx.append(name)
print(listx) ## For debugging to insure that it is working correctly, if it gives output it, this part works
myrow = myrow + 1
count=count+1
def make_new(*args):
new_title_box('box'+str(count))
def generate(*args):
global listx, boxvar
while len(listx) > 0:
boxvar=listx.pop(0)
print(boxvar) ## For debugging to insure that it is working correctly, if it gives output it, this part works
folder = boxvar.entry.get() ## Not working here
print(folder) ## For debugging to insure that it is working correctly, if it gives output it, this part works
root = Tk()
root.title("File Maker")
mainframe = ttk.Frame(root, padding = "50 50 50 50")
mainframe.grid(column = 0,row = 0,sticky = (N, W, E, S))
mainframe.columnconfigure(0,weight=1)
mainframe.columnconfigure(0,weight=1)
add_entry = ttk.Button(mainframe,width=20, text = "add entry", command=make_new)
add_entry.grid(column=2,row=2,sticky=(N,W))
add_entry = ttk.Button(mainframe,width=20, text = "make files", command=generate)
add_entry.grid(column=2,row=3,sticky=(N,W))
root.mainloop()
Here's the traceback I'm getting:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python33\lib\tkinter_init_.py", line 1442, in call
return self.func(*args)
File "C:\python\SampAqTkinter.py", line 28, in generate
folder = boxvar.entry ## Not working here
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'entry'

There are two things that need to be changed to fix the problem you describe:
In the new_title_box.__init__() method change: listx.append(name) to listx.append(self.name)
In the generate() function, change: folder = boxvar.entry.get() to folder = boxvar.get().

You are appending a string to listx, use self.name instead of the local string name
