Tkinter – Label not appearing on the window

Question

I am learning Tkinter right now. For some reason, no matter what I try, I can't get the label to appear on a very simple program. I've checked some other questions but none of them seem to work.

I am working on macOS 14.3, with the Apple Silicon chip.

Here is my code:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title("Test")
root.geometry('350x200')
lbl = Label(root, text = "TestTest")
lbl.grid()
root.mainloop()

For some reason, only a blank window is appearing.

Blank window named "Test"

• JRiggles: There are some know issues with tkinter on Mac OS. I have an answer here that might help you out.
• user27819719: Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the "pyenv uninstall 3.10.5" command isn't working. I replaced it with my current version of python, but it just tells me that that version isn't installed.
• JRiggles: That's to be expected if you don't already have that version of Python installed via pyenv. If that's the case, you can skip that step. I've updated the linked answer to clarify that the uninstall steps are conditional.
