Okay, so I wrote some code of basically what I will be doing, only with
exactly what I need for this part of the program but here you go:
[code]
from Tkinter import*
import os
class myApp:
def __init__(self, parent):
self.parent = parent
self.baseContainer = Frame(self.parent)
self.baseContainer.pack()
self.e = Entry(self.baseContainer)
self.e.bind("<Return>", self.entryEnter)
self.e.pack()
self.Button1 = Button(self.baseContainer, command =
self.buttonClick)
self.Button1.configure(text="Submit")
self.Button1.pack()
def buttonClick(self):
print "Button1 was clicked"
path = self.e.get()
path = "\"" + path + "\""
print path
#os.startfile(path)
def entryEnter(self, event):
print "Enter was hit in the entry box"
self.buttonClick()
root = Tk()
myapp = myApp(root)
root.mainloop()
[code]
