It seems that passing the StringVar to the Entry widget is not sufficient to
keep it alive.

When the previous NewSpec is overwritten with the current one the previous
gets garbage-collected and its value is lost.
The straight-forward fix is to introduce a list:
new_specs = []
> for lineItem in range(len(ThisList)):
> NewSpec = tk.StringVar()
new_specs.append(NewSpec)
> SVRCodeEntered = ttk.Entry(window, width = 15, textvariable =
> NewSpec)
Another option is to store the StringVar as an attribute of the Entry:

> SVRCodeEntered = ttk.Entry(window, width = 15, textvariable =
> NewSpec)
SVRCodeEntered.new_spec = NewSpec
