How to solve the Nominatim problem

Question

I have a mini project about "Weather App", i use Nominatim to get location but it seems like not working.

Here is the code

from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
from tkinter import ttk,messagebox
from timezonefinder import TimezoneFinder
from datetime import *
import requests
import pytz
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

root = Tk()
root.title("Weather App")
root.geometry("900x500+300+200")
root.configure(bg = "#57adff")
root.resizable(False, False)



#get weather

def getWeather():
    city = textfield.get()
    geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapiExercises")
    location= geolocator.geocode(city, timeout = None)
    obj = TimezoneFinder()

    result = obj.timezone_at(lng = location.longitude, lat = location.latitude)

    timezone.config(text=result)
    long_lat.config(text = f"{round(location.latitude,4)}°N, {round(location.longitude,4)}°E")

    home = pytz.timezone(result)
    local_time = datetime.now(home)
    current_time = local_time.strftime("%I:%M %p")
    clock.config(text = current_time)

and the problem

        Exception in Tkinter callback

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Answer 1

You use: geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent = "geoapiExercises")

Replace with this: geolocator = Nominatim(user_agent = "abcd")
