This is my code:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import requests
def window():
root = Tk()
root.title("Nils' Pokedex")
# Styling window
s = ttk.Style()
s.configure('Danger.TFrame', background='red', borderwidth=5, relief='raised')
ttk.Frame(root, width=200, height=200, style='Danger.TFrame').grid()
mainframe = ttk.Frame(root, padding="3 3 12 12")
mainframe.grid(column=0, row=0, sticky=(N, W, E, S))
root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
pokemon = StringVar() # Search bar Creation
pokemon_entry = ttk.Entry(mainframe, width=7, textvariable=pokemon)
pokemon_entry.grid(column=2, row=1, sticky=(W, E))
ttk.Button(mainframe, text="Search", command=search).grid(column=3, row=3, sticky=W) # Search Button
for child in mainframe.winfo_children():
child.grid_configure(padx=5, pady=5)
pokemon_entry.focus()
root.bind("<Return>", search) # Bind
root.mainloop()
def search(*args):
response = requests.get("https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/" + str(window().pokemon)) # Fetching API
answer = response.json()
print(answer)
window()
inside the search function (requests.get("https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/" + str(window().pokemon))) im trying to access the pokemon variable that can be found in the window function. However for some reason it doesn’t seem to want to cooperate, I tried using window.pokemon and window.pokemon() and window().pokemon. The only thing I got to work was to remove the window function and have all the code inside the window function on the global level. But I’d much rather have all of it inside a function. Any help is appreciated.

You can pass the input value as an argument to search():
...
def window():
...
ttk.Button(mainframe, text="Search", command=lambda:search(pokemon.get())).grid(column=3, row=3, sticky=W) # Search Button
...
root.bind("<Return>", lambda e: search(pokemon.get())) # Bind
root.mainloop()
def search(pokemon):
response = requests.get(f"https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/{pokemon}") # Fetching API
answer = response.json()
print(answer)
...
