import tkinter as tk
root=tk.Tk()

# setting the windows size

root.geometry("600x400")

# declaring string variable for storing name and password

name_var=tk.StringVar()
passw_var=tk.StringVar()

# defining a function that will get the name and password and
# print them on the screen
def submit():
name=name_var.get()
password=passw_var.get()
print("The name is : " + name)
print("The password is : " + password)
name_var.set("")
passw_var.set("")

# name using widget Label
# placing the label and entry in
name_label = tk.Label(root, text = 'Username',
# the required position using grid
font=('calibre',10, 'bold'))
# method
name_label.grid(row=0,column=0)
# creating a entry for input
name_entry.grid(row=0,column=1)
# name using widget Entry
passw_label.grid(row=1,column=0)
name_entry = tk.Entry(root,textvariable = name_var,
passw_entry.grid(row=1,column=1)
font=('calibre',10,'normal'))
sub_btn.grid(row=2,column=1)
# creating a label for password
# performing an infinite loop
