Even when you follow this advice, entryName was set to None by the line >> entryName = Entry(root1).grid(row=1, column=1, pady=5) as grid() always returns None. You need two steps entryName = Entry(root1) entryName.grid(row=1, column=1, pady=5) Also, >> print entryName.get("1.0", "end-1c" ) I believe that the Entry widget's get() method doesn't take any arguments. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
