What's the difference?

[SeeBelow]

between this:

name = "C"

and this:

name = StringVar()
name.set("C")

I hope someone can explain that to me.

Thanks,

Mitchell Timin

I couldn't run your code.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'StringVar' is not defined

Where did you get StringVar from?

Now I realize that StringVar is a Tkinter class. You have to import
from Tkinter, and you have to execute Tk() before you can execute
StringVar().

There is more difference than similarity between my two fragments above.
