Python Tkinter Prompt

Question

I am trying to prompt the user to enter a string of text. Is there available with python tkinter a Javascript like prompt?

Answer 1

try this:

import tkinter
x = tkinter.tkSimpleDialog.askstring

Answer 2

You can ask a yes/no question with

from tkinter import *
answer = tkinter.messagebox.askquestion

Answer 3

Yes, use tkSimpleDialog.askstring. Unfortunately this isn't in the main Python docs, so it's a bit hard to find.

Answer 4

I think this is what you might want

for python 2.7:

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
E = Entry(root)
E.pack()
root.mainloop()

for python 3:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
e = Entry(root)
e.pack()
root.mainloop()

Answer 5

One of those situations where I find it after the question has been posted and since I had trouble finding the answer I will keep the question up.

You can use a tkSimpleDialog.
