Creating a listbox with scroll and buttons. Getting an AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'tk'

Hi I am pretty new to Tkinter. I am trying to create a listbox with a scroll bar and a couple buttons but I am getting an Attribute error. It seems somewhere I have overwritten master. Please help:

class advancedListBox:
    def __init__(self, master, listBoxList, label, callbackFunction = None):
        self.listBoxList = listBoxList
        self.label = label
        self.callbackFunction = callbackFunction

        self.entryVar = tk.StringVar()
        self.entryVar.set("Search")
        self.entry = tk.Entry(master)
        self.entry.config(textvariable = self.entryVar)
        self.entry.grid(row = 0,sticky= "E"+"W")
        self.entry.bind('<KeyPress>', self.listBox_On_keypress)
        self.entry.bind('<KeyRelease>', self.listBox_On_keyrelease)




        self.entryLabel = tk.Label(self.label)
        self.entryLabel.grid(row = 1, column = 0, padx =(0,18))

        self.listBox = tk.Listbox(master)
        self.listBox.grid(row = 2, rowspan = 3, column = 0, sticky= "N"+"E"+"S"+"W")
        self.listBox.bind('<<ListboxSelect>>', on_select)
        self.listbox_update(self.listBoxList)


        self.scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(master, orient="vertical")
        self.scrollbar.config(command=self.listBox.yview)
        self.scrollbar.grid(row = 2, column = 1,rowspan = 3, sticky= "N"+"S")

        self.listBox.config(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
        self.deleteButton = tk.Button(self.master, text="Delete",
                command=lambda lb=architecturesListBox: deleteFromListBox(lb,tk.ANCHOR))

        self.deleteButton.grid(row =5,sticky= "E"+"W"

)

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'tk'

Solution 1:

self.label is a string. You're using it as the parent for a label when you do self.entryLabel = tk.Label(self.label). A string can't be the parent of a widget.

The first positional argument when creating a widget must be another widget, except in the case of creating the initial root window.
