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)
if var.get() =='GBP' and var2.get() =='INR':
