EntryField
The Tkinter StringVar class should be used to store the Entry widget's value
Example:
1 from Tkinter import *
2
3 root = Tk()
4 value = StringVar()
5 entry = Entry(root, textvariable=value)
6 entry.pack()
7
8 def get_value():
9 print value.get()
10
11 def set_value():
12 value.set("Hello World")
13
14 b = Button(root, text="Print Entry Value", command=get_value)
15 b.pack()
16
17 b = Button(root, text="Set Entry Value", command=set_value)
18 b.pack()
19
20 root.mainloop()

Please note a much more powerfull EntryField widget exists in the Pmw package, the Pmw.EntryField allows the user to define a validation function and it comes with an optional label.
