Python - AttributeError: object has no attribute 'tk' [duplicate]

Question

I have class which has ttk components. When i run this class from some reason it raise an error, AttributeError: 'Accounts' object has no attribute 'tk'. I cant understand why.

CODE

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk, messagebox
import tkinter.font as tkfont
from database.db import Database

class Accounts:
def __init__(self, window):
    self.window = window
    self.username = StringVar()
    self.password = StringVar()
    self.name = StringVar()
    self.phone = StringVar()
    self.SAVE = 1
    self.UPDATE = 0

    self.headerFont = tkfont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=12, weight='bold')
    self.titleFont = tkfont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=9)
    self.h3 = tkfont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=11, weight='bold')
    self.h4 = tkfont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=10, weight='bold')
    self.bold = tkfont.Font(weight='bold', size=10)
    self.list_box_text = tkfont.Font(family="Verdana", size=11, weight='bold')

    # Add account form (left side)
    ttk.Label(self, text='Manage your accounts', font=self.headerFont).grid(column=0, row=0, padx=10, pady=10)
    ttk.Label(self, text='Add account', font=self.h3).grid(column=0, row=1, padx=10, pady=10, columnspan=2)

It is always crash on this line ttk.Label(self, text='Manage your accounts', font=self.headerFont).grid(column=0, row=0, padx=10, pady=10). Cant understand why its crashing, I import ttk. What am i doing wrong?

I think the problem is because of how you're initializing the Label. ttk.Label's first argument is parent where you give self as in, the instance of Account. The parent parameter has to be a tk object that the label can "bind" against. — Hampus Larsson

This is because you are trying to make the ttk.Label a child of self, which is not a widget. Did you mean self.window?

    ttk.Label(self.window, text='Manage your accounts', font=self.headerFont).grid(column=0, row=0, padx=10, pady=10)
    ttk.Label(self.window, text='Add account', font=self.h3).grid(column=0, row=1, padx=10, pady=10, columnspan=2)
