In the following code I’ll get the following error if I right click the window that pops up. Then go down to the very bottom entry widget then delete it’s contents. It seems to be giving me a TclError. How do I go about handeling such an error?

The Error

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python26\Lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1410, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)

  File "C:\Python26\Lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2765, in set

    def I (self,event):
        S1 = TL.entryVariableS.get()
        TL.sclS.set(S1)
        TL.sclS.set(TL.sclS.get())
        S1 = TL.entryVariableS.get()
        TL.sclS.set(S1)
    

    TL.entryVariableS.get() is returning “” (empty string); you will need to check for that and handle them appropriately (either gives default value or complain to the user).
