Example 1: set text entry tkinter

pythonCopyimport tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("400x50")

def setTextInput(text):
    textExample.delete(0,"end")

                    command=lambda:setTextInput("new content"))

e.grid()
e = Entry(root)
e.grid()
root.mainloop()

Example 3: write in entry() in tkinter

from Tkinter import *

e = Entry(master)
e.pack()

e.focus_set()

def callback():
    print e.get()

b = Button(master, text="get", width=10, command=callback)
b.pack()

mainloop()
