python tkinter tree get selected item values

To get the selected item and all its attributes and values, you can use the item method:

def selectItem(a):
    curItem = tree.focus()
    print tree.item(curItem)

This will output a dictionary, from which you can then easily retrieve individual values:

{'text': 'Name', 'image': '', 'values': [u'Date', u'Time', u'Loc'], 'open': 0, 'tags': ''}

Also note that the callback will be executed before the focus in the tree changed, i.e. you will get the item that was selected before you clicked the new item. One way to solve this is to use the event type ButtonRelease instead.

tree.bind('<ButtonRelease-1>', selectItem)
