Having problems using Tkinter

[viv1tyagi@gmail.com]

Hi everyone ! ! !

I'm just a month old in the world of Python and trying to develop an
application using Tkinter in which a new window pops out on a
particular button press.The code for this new window is in
"AddKlas.py " file.
The problem is all the content of the new window is overwritten on
the previous window.
Below is the code of the two files

PLEASE help me out ! ! ! !

#1st file
#Klass.py
from Tkinter import *
import AddKlass
class Klass(Frame):

There can be only one `Tkinter.Tk` instance per running program. Other
top level windows have to be `Tkinter.Toplev el` instances.

And you should reconsider your usage of classes. You are just abusing
them as containers for functions without using `self` really. And you
should pass the instance of the parent widget as first argument to
constructors of widgets. Otherwise the very first, i.e. the `Tk` instance,
is assumed, which is not true for the widgets that should appear in the
`Toplevel` instance.
