Entry Text Option: Curious Behavior

Consider the following code: import tkinter as tk FONT='Arial 20 bold' app = tk.Tk() tk.Entry(app,text='hi', font=FONT).pack() tk.Entry(app,text='hi', font=FONT).pack() app.ma

Solution 1:

The problem lies with the text parameter actually. By passing text you are creating a textvariable of the Entry widget:

import tkinter as tk

FONT="Arial 20 bold"

app = tk.Tk()

a = tk.Entry(app, text="hi", font=FONT)
b = tk.Entry(app, text="there", font=FONT)
c = tk.Entry(app, text="hi", font=FONT)

for i in (a,b,c):
    i.pack()
    print (i["textvariable"])

app.mainloop()

To fix this problem - simply don't pass text as a parameter. I don't think you need it anyways.
