    <p>I am writing a Tkinter program and have a root where a labels are displayed next to entry widgets.</p> <p>EX: Name -> SearchTerm ENTRY BOX</p> <p>I am trying to create a list of values from entry wigets (EX: ['', 'user input', 'user input'])</p> <p>I have created the entry widgets in the root and then have a function that gets the values:</p> <pre><code>def get_user_entries(user_entries): new_search_terms = [] for entry in user_entries: new_search_terms.append(entry.get()) return new_search_terms </code></pre> <p>I want to be able to access the list called new_search_terms in order to run another python program on it.</p> <p>I have tried to use the function as the command for a button. I have tried binding the button in different places. I have tried invoking the button in different places. I also tried creating a class where I new_search_terms was a class variable, but since I can't access the returned information from the function above the updated class variable did not hold. After exhausting the internet and several books I have yet to find an example where information is returned out of a Button function rather than printed. I need to be able to access this information in another place. </p> <p>Is there a way to access the information I need or is there another approach to this in Tkinter I haven't thought of?</p> <p>The code where I create the button:</p> <pre><code>done = Button(root, text='Done', command= lambda: get_user_entries(user_entries)) done.pack() </code></pre> <p>Here is the code that created the entries and labels:</p> <pre><code>def uc_1(original_names, final_names, root): user_entries = [] for index in range(len(original_names)): row = Frame(root) info = Label(row, text = original_names[index]+'-&gt;'+final_names[index]) user_entry = Entry(row) row.pack(side=TOP, fill=X) user_entry.pack(side=RIGHT, expand=YES, fill=X) user_entries.append(user_entry) info.pack(side=LEFT) return user_entries </code></pre> <p>Thanks!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
