Hi guys im begginer in programming and want to make a code editor (i know it bad idea) my code:
from tkinter import *
from time import sleep
from random import randint

root = Tk()

def run():
global codeInput
code = codeInput.get()
index = code.startswith(“print”")
if index == True:
index = code.find(""")
print(index)

codeInput = Text(root, width = 500, height = 50, bg = ‘silver’)
codeInput.pack()

run = Button(root, text = “RUN”, command = run)
run.pack()

root.mainloop()

and im have and errors:
TypeError: Text.get() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘index1’

Hi guys im begginer in programming and want to make a code editor (i
know it bad idea)

It isn’t a bad idea, but many already exist and it is a large project if
you intend to end up with a serious IDE-like editor). But an excellent
learning exercise, and you can end up with useful things you can use
elsewhere even if the editor itself is never complete.

my code:

Tip: enclose code between triple backticks:

your code here

I get to see it ok because I’m on email preferring plain text, but I
gather others do not see the indentation.

I’ll recite your code below so others can see it nicely indented.

You wrote:

TypeError: Text.get() missing 1 required positional argument: 'index1'

It helps to include the whole traceback - it tells us the line number if
nothing else, and for other errors the full listing can be helpful.

You have this:

code = codeInput.get()

where codeInput is a Tk Text widget. The docs for that widget start
here: 24. The Text widget
and the methods available are listed here:
24.8. Methods on Text widgets

The .get() method requires a starting point. You didn’t supply one.
These can take a few forms because text widgets suppose marks and
things, but just passing 0 is a good start. Try that and see what you
get.

Also, you write:

index = code.startswith("print\"")
if index == True:

index is a Boolean value. You can just use these directly, much as you
might in English prose:

index = code.startswith("print\"")
if index:

without the cumbersome explicit test against True. And for falsehood
you’d write:

if not index:

For reference, your code below, indentation preserved:

from tkinter import *
from time import sleep
from random import randint

root = Tk()

def run():
    global codeInput
    code = codeInput.get()
    index = code.startswith("print\"")
    if index == True:
        index = code.find("\"")
        print(index)

codeInput = Text(root, width = 500, height = 50, bg = 'silver')
codeInput.pack()

run = Button(root, text = "RUN", command = run)
run.pack()

root.mainloop()

I’d like to suggest you to use delphivcl of delphifmx as well.

Thanks, you!
