Question

I am trying to make a program in Tkinter that requires the entry widget to be used. I have looked at different websites, but none of them have CLEARLY expalined how to use the Entry widget and its functions. Will someone please explain it or give me a great link?

Help would be appreciated on how to get information from the widget.

This seems like a very general question, but here‘s a website that has great detail, and here’s a very simple general example:

import Tkinter as tk

class application:
    def __init__(self,window):
        """ Initalize the Application """
        self.myentrybox = tk.Entry(window)
        self.myentrybox.pack()
        self.myentrybox.insert(0,"some default value")
        self.myentrybox.bind("<Return>",self.Enter)

    def Enter(self,event):
        """ Someone Pressed Enter """
        print "You entered >> %s" % (self.myentrybox.get())

root=tk.Tk()
myapp = application(root)
root.mainloop()

Hopefully you can extrapolate what you specifically need to know…
