Can you use an input to open a Tkinter Window?-CodePudding

I am currently in year 11 doing computer science, im making a glossary of key terms using tkinter. I was wondering if i can use a user input to open a tkinter window. e.g

topic = input("Choose a topic, 1. Theory or 2. Algorithms: ")

if topic == '1':
       then here i would call the theory tkinter window using a subroutine

i have tried this but it doesnt seem to work for me.

Below is the link to the whole code

This is what the UI looks like so far

Rather than making it too complex, just write the following code:

from tkinter import *

topic = input("Choose a topic, 1. Theory or 2. Algorithms: ")
    
def topic_1():
    root = Tk()

    # Your Code here

    root.mainloop()

def topic_2():
    root = Tk()

    # Your Code here

    root.mainloop()

if topic == '2':
    topic_2()    

elif topic == '1':
    topic_1()

Here this is the best I could do for you as I didn't want to re-type all of your code. I would recommend replacing windows.mainloop with a while loop and window.update

from tkinter import *

window = Tk()
window.title("Something")
window.geometry("1000x1000")

text_box = Text()
text_box.pack()
new_window = False


def new_window_fun():
    window2 = Tk()
    window2.title("Something new :)")
    window2.geometry("1000x1000")
    label = Label(text="Hello")
    label.pack()
    while True:
        window2.update()


try:
    while 'normal' == window.state():
        if text_box.get("1.0", END).strip() == "new window" and new_window is False:
            new_window = True
            window.destroy()  # close the current window
            new_window_fun()
            print("finished")
        else:
            window.update()
except:
    print("the end")
