I created 2 programs in same dir: helloworldprogram.py: print("hi") renamer.py: import os os.rename("helloworldprogram.py", "bananapeel.py") And running renamer.py successfully changed "helloworldprogram.py" name to "bananapeel.py".

Did you try txtnam.get()?

def rename(): os.rename("main.txt", txtnam.get()) Because the tkinter uses mainloop, you would need any tkinter widget (such as function) to call this function.

Should I be able to type something if I took the file openings away?: from tkinter import * root=Tk() name=StringVar() nam=Label(text="Name of customer") txtnam=Entry(textvariable=name) root.mainloop()
