How do you replace a label in Tkinter python?

问题:

I am a newbie programmer and I am making a currency converter....It is still in progress, but could anyone help me to try to replace the label made in 'def convert()'...To be clear, right now everytime I convert, a new label pops up underneath, but what I want to happen is that my label gets replaced everytime I click convert...

import sys
from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.title("CURRENCY CONVERTER")
root.geometry('600x300+30+100')
root.config(bg="#000000")

#*************************************GBP*************************************#
def rate():
    rate = 1
    if var.get() =='GBP' and var2.get() =='USD':
        rate=float(1.63452)
    if var.get() =='GBP' and var2.get() =='EUR':
        rate=float(1.19529)

#currency 1

var.set('Choose a currency to convert from')
choices = ['GBP', 'USD', 'EUR','INR','AUD','CAD','NZD','JPY','CNY']
option = OptionMenu(root, var, *choices)

option2.pack(ipadx=10,ipady=0, expand=1,anchor="center")

root.mainloop()

EDIT:

SO CONFUSED PLEASE HELP ME. I have no idea, super noob here!

def convert():
        newValue=(var.get(), int(entarr.get()),">>>", round((float(entarr.get())*rate()),3), var2.get())
        converted=Label(root, textvariable=newValue)
        converted.config(font=('century gothic',(15)),bg='#000000',fg="white",width=0, relief=FLAT)
        converted.config(text=newValue)
        converted.pack(expand = 1,anchor="center")
        return

There are a couple of simple ways to accomplish this. In both cases, it involves creating a label once, and then dynamically changing the text that is displayed.

Method 1: use a textvariable

If you associate a StringVar with a label, whenever you change the value of the StringVar, the label will be automatically updated:

labelVar = StringVar()
label = Label(..., textvariable=labelVar)
...
# label is automatically updated by this statement:
labelVar.set(newValue)

Method 2: update the text with the configure method:

label = Label(...)
...
# update the label with the configure method:
label.configure(text=newValue)

In both cases you need to make sure the object that you're changing (either the widget or the StringVar) is either a global variable or an instance variable so that you can access it later in your code.
