pyglet causes askdirectory dialog to not open

[ertucode]

I've been having some trouble using tkinter's askdirectory() for a while. But i've finally found the problem. Apparently something about pyglet causes this problem. I tried to comment out the relevant parts from customtkinter's init.py and it fixed my problem but now the shapes are really weird.

There is also this thread but I am nowhere near qualified to understand what that guy is doing.

Can you fix this problem or give any advice.

It has nothing to do with pyglet.
I have the same problem without using pyglet. Try just using tkinter, os and customtkinter and the problem is still there
This happened after I updated my customtkinter to latest version.

What OS are you using and how are you creating the askdirectory? I will look into this tomorrow...

I'm on Windows 10 Home
this is a cleaned up version of my code

        from tkinter.constants import CENTER, LEFT
        import tkinter
        import tkinter.messagebox
        from tkinter import filedialog as fd 
        import customtkinter  # <- import the CustomTkinter module

                filename = fd.askdirectory()
                self.entry_output.insert(0,str(filename))
                pass

            def on_closing(self, event=0):
                self.destroy()

            def start(self):
                self.mainloop()




        if __name__ == "__main__":
            app = App()
            app.start()

edit: no idea how to add code block

@h4xw4r I am not actually using pyglet, I said that because customtkinter itself is using it.
I am on Windows 10 Home also.

[h4xw4r]

@ertucode My bad, you are right İ come realize that later.

[TomSchimansky]

I don't know what exactly is causing the problem, but now I removed pyglet from CustomTkinter and the dialogs should work fine. I uploaded version 3.9 to pip, maybe you can report if it's now working for you, or if there are any errors. Because now I load the necessary fonts with a custom function, which was done by pyglet before. And I only tested it on two Windows machines (Windows 10, 11).

[h4xw4r]

Thanks a lot, works just fine now.
