How to collect data from Tkinter user form? (either in excel or text file)

For example:

How to write value of following variable i.e. a (value needed:’x1′) to an excel sheet?

a=StringVar()
checkBox1=Checkbutton(root, text="text1", variable=a, onvalue="x1", offvalue="N/A")
checkBox1.place(relx=0., rely=0., relwidth=0., relheight=0.)
checkBox1.pack()

Ok,

1. you can save your values as a csv file and them import it in excel (thats the fastest way)
2. for 1. you can use the python csv module that has a specific excel format.
3. you can use xlwt module (not available for python 3)
4. you can use openpyxl (for new xlsx files)
5. you can use pandas (pandas uses xlwt or openpyxl)
6. you can use tablib
7. you can use a com object with pywin32
