Multiple windows in Tkinter?

I am new to programming, and I am having trouble finding a tutorial that teaches how to create a GUI that uses multiple windows. For example, If a user clicks a "lookup" button, a window pops up with the search results. How do I accomplish this? Is this possible within Tkinter? Any suggestions/ references to sources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

To create your first window, you create an instance of the Tk class. All other windows are instances of Toplevel.

import Tkinter as tk

class Example(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, root):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, root)
        b1 = tk.Button(self, text="Add another window", command = self.newWindow)
        b1.pack(side="top", padx=40, pady=40)
        self.count = 0

    def newWindow(self):
        self.count += 1
        window = tk.Toplevel(self)
        label = tk.Label(window, text="This is window #%s" % self.count)
        label.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True, padx=40, pady=40);

if __name__ == "__main__":
    root = tk.Tk()
    Example(root).pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
    root.mainloop()

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *

class Example(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, root):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, root)
        # b1 = tk.Button(self, text="Add another window", command = self.newWindow)
        self.count = 0
        self.canvas1 = Canvas(self, width=500, height=500)
        b1 = tk.Button(self.canvas1, text="Add another window", command = self.create_new_window)
        # b1.pack(side="top", padx=40, pady=40)
        self.canvas1.pack(side="top")
        b1.pack(side="top", padx=250, pady=240)


    def create_new_window(self):
        self.window1 = tk.Toplevel(self)
        self.window1.geometry("+160+300")
        self.canvas1 = Canvas(self.window1, width=50, height=500)
        # label = tk.Label(self.window1, text="This is window #%s" % self.count)
        self.canvas1.pack(side="top", fill="both")

    def create_new_window2(self):
        self.window2 = tk.Toplevel(self)
        self.canvas2 = Canvas(self.window2, width=500, height=500)
        # label = tk.Label(self.window2, text="This is window #%s" % self.count)
        self.canvas2.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True, padx=40, pady=40)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.geometry("+300+300")
    Example(root).pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
    root.mainloop()
