A Simple Tkinter Control Program--Slight Problem

W

W. eWatson

Here's what I think the author meant in discussing a control variable sample
program. <http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/entry.htm>

from Tkinter import *

v=Tk.StringVar()

e = Entry(master, textvariable=v)
e.pack()
e.focus_set()

v.set("a default value")
s = v.get()

mainloop()

The problem is that Python objects to v=.
v=Tk.StringVar()
AttributeError: class Tk has no attribute 'StringVar'

What corrects this?

It wasn't a matter of copying. I had experimented with the code and found a
note that suggested using Tk, and another way of getting the job. It didn't
work. I missed removing it (Tk).

is about to give her in the movie Desk Set.

Here's the segment the author singled out:

v = StringVar()
e = Entry(master, textvariable=v)
e.pack()

v.set("a default value")
s = v.get()

I like to see closure on a thread. This should do it.

from Tkinter import *
# Use of control variables and callbacks

def mycallback():
print "User entered:" , e.get()
print "Operation by 2 gives: ", e.get()*2, "and", v.get()*2

master = Tk()

#v=StringVar()
v=IntVar()
print v,type(v)
print v, type(v), type(v.get())
e = Entry(master,textvariable=v)
e.pack()
b = Button(master, text="Push to Print", width=10, command=mycallback)
b.pack()
e.focus_set()

v.set(123)

mainloop()
