I am unfamiliar with Tkinter, so this might not be very helpful. Usually with the GUI I have created before I uses classes and store the widgets inside the classes. That makes it easier to use `self.widgetname` or `getattr(self, widgetname)`. If that is not something you can instead store the attributes in a list/dictionary. In both cases make sure not to have multiple widgets created with the same name. Note the following is all untested and should be considered pseudo-code. widgets = {} label = Label(frame, width = 40, text='text', name = 'name') widgets['name'] = label def configure(name_): widget = widgets[name_] OR widgets = [] label = Label(frame, width = 40, text='text', name = 'name') widgets.append( label ) def configure(name_): found = False for w in widgets: if w.name == name_: # No idea how to get name from Tk widget found = True break if found: # configure here Ramit Prasad This email is confidential and subject to important disclaimers and conditions including on offers for the purchase or sale of securities, accuracy and completeness of information, viruses, confidentiality, legal privilege, and legal entity disclaimers, available at http://www.jpmorgan.com/pages/disclosures/email. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
