If you look at the error message you get when you try to call mainloop()
you will find valuable information:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test7.py", line 16, in <module>
mainloop() # you can't use mainloop()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 328, in mainloop
_default_root.tk.mainloop(n)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tk'
So let's have a look at the Tkinter.mainloop() function:
def mainloop(n=0):
"""Run the main loop of Tcl."""
_default_root.tk.mainloop(n)
To understand this, you need to know that Tkinter._default_root is an
internally used placeholder for the application's Tk() instance.
Initially _default_root is set to None, though. So effectively
Tkinter.mainloop () is just a shortcut to the Tk () window's (or any
other tk widget's) mainloop() method.
Considering this, it is easy to see why the call to mainloop() in your
example fails: you call mainloop() before any widget has been created and
so there is no _default_root yet.
I hope this helps
Michael

I realize that command does have its fascination, even under
circumstances such as these, but I neither enjoy the idea of command
nor am I frightened of it. It simply exists, and I will do whatever
logically needs to be done.
