How to close a tkinter window when button pressed?

Question

def _error_message(self, message: str):
    self._error_window = tkinter.Toplevel()
    title = tkinter.Label(master = self._error_window,
        text = message, font = DEFAULT)
    title.grid(row = 0, padx = 12, pady = 12, sticky = tkinter.EW)

    ok_error_button = tkinter.Button(master=self._error_window, text='OK',
        font= DEFAULT, command = self._error_window.destroy())
    ok_error_button.grid(row = 1, padx = 10, pady = 10)

    self._error_window.grab_set()

I want to make pressing the "ok" button on a window close a window how do I do that?

Are you aware of the MessageBox widget? Might save you a few lines, as long as you only need a label and a button in your popup. effbot.org/tkinterbook/tkinter-standard-dialogs.htm — atlasologist

Change the name of the button's command to self.destroy Add this before you initialize the button:

def destroy(self)
    self._error_window.destroy()

Good Luck!

I may be mistaken (I probably am), but I don't think this will work unless he/she does root = tkinter.Toplevel() instead of top = tkinter.Toplevel() .
