Hey. Im working on this for a school project thing and i need some help please.

from Tkinter import*
import random
import time

number = 5
i = 0

class Test():
    def __init__(self):
        i=0
        self.root = Tk()
        self.root.title('Test')
        
        self.can = Canvas(self.root, width= 800, height = 600, bg='Blue')
        self.can.grid()

        self.b = Button(self.root, width=25, height = 5, text="START TEST", command=self.countdown)
        self.b.grid(column=0, row=0)
        
        self.root.mainloop()




    def countdown(self):
        global i
        global number

        if i == 0:
            self.b.destroy()

            self.text=self.can.create_text(400, 300, text='TEST STARTS IN...')
            i+=1
            self.countdown()
        elif i>0 and i<6:
            self.text=self.can.create_text(400, 325, text=number)
            time.sleep(1)
            self.text.delete()
            self.root.update()
            number=number-1
            self.countdown()
        else:
            pass

I know very little about Tkinter. I was able to get the script to work by making some changes. First, get rid of the global variables number and i. In many cases, global variables are unnecessary and their use is typically discouraged. Second, eliminate the recursive calls to self.countdown( ). Third, the delete() method is a canvas method, not a method of the text ID, which is an integer. Fourth, use a for loop to make the countdown.

        self.b.destroy()
        for i in range(6, 0, -1):
            if i == 6:
                ** do stuff **
            else:
                ** do other stuff **
        self.root.destroy()

I added the destroy() method to close the canvas window, but you may need to do something else. Since this is a school project, I won't provide the complete code.

Third, the delete() method is a canvas method, not a method of the text ID, which is an integer.

Ok, i did everything else and i have gotten it to where it will do the countdown with the loop and no globals and everything. Only problem im still having is i dont know how to get the text off the canvas. It stays on and when i try to delete it off the canvas it gives me that error again. Sorry but can you help me get it to where i can delete every number before the next one comes up. Thanks.

Use canvas method delete().

        self.text2=self.can.create_text(400, 325, text=str(i))
        self.root.update()
        time.sleep(1)
        self.can.delete(self.text2)
