i am trying to store some data into a text file, there are no errors but it writes ".!toplevel.!entrywrite" instead of user input

i am making a sign up page and im trying to store the email the user entered to a text file but it doesnt seem to work it stores ".!toplevel.!entrywrite" instead of user input. i am new to this python and tkinter so i dont really know what to do, the code is a little bit long sorry about that.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Using var = StringVar() to set option textvariable - var when initialize Entry, and get content of Entry by var.get().
example Code
from tkinter import *
def on_click():
print(entry_text.get())
root = Tk()
font = ("Courier New", 32)
entry_text = StringVar()
entry = Entry(root, textvariable=entry_text, font=font)
entry.place(x=0, y=0)
button = Button(root, text='Check', command=on_click, font= font)
button.place(x=0, y=64)
root.mainloop()
Following statement will get value None for self.email
self.email = Entry(parent).place(x = 340, y = 180)
should be
self.email = Entry(parent)
self.email.place(x = 340, y = 180)

Animated background using two images in Tkinter

I would like to continuously switch between two images after some interval lets say(200 ms) to get a animated flashing/blinking like appearance in the background. I have only managed to get still image for now.
This following code is the child window of a main program which is calling the function Refresher.
Main function:
def rad_alarm(self):
self.alarm = Tk.Toplevel()
self.alarm.geometry('1024x600')
#self.alarm.title("Alert")
vFont = tkFont.Font(family = 'Helvetica', size = 30)
#self.center(self.alarm)
self.alarm.overrideredirect(1)
#self.alarm.wm_attributes('-type', 'splash');
radfilename = PhotoImage(file = "radio1.png")
self.alarm.background_label = Label(self.alarm, image=radfilename)
self.alarm.background_label.pack()
bcklbl = Label(self.alarm, text = str(bck), bg="black", fg="Yellow", font=vFont)
bcklbl.place(x = 825, y = 300, width=140, height=40)
cpslbl = Label(self.alarm, text = str(counti), bg="black", fg="Yellow", font=vFont)
cpslbl.place(x = 825, y = 445, width=140, height=40)
dtlbl = Label(self.alarm, text = datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), bg="black", fg="Yellow", font=vFont)
dtlbl.place(x = 630, y = 140, width=380, height=40)
button=Button(self.alarm, text="Acknowledge Alarm", command=self.alarm_close, relief=FLAT, bg="black", fg="Red", font=vFont)
button.place(x = 400, y = 510, width=380, height=80)
dt=str(datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
self.conn.execute("INSERT INTO ALARMS (CPS,BCK,DT) VALUES (?,?,?)",(counti, bck, dt));
self.conn.commit()
self.Refresher()
Function called for animation:
def Refresher(self):
sleep(0.1)
radfilename = PhotoImage(file = "radio2.png")
self.alarm.background_label.configure(image=radfilename)
sleep(0.1)
radfilename = PhotoImage(file = "radio1.png")
self.alarm.background_label.configure(image=radfilename)
self.alarm.background_label.after(200, self.Refresher)
As I said I am only getting a still image on background instead of flashing/blinking animation. Any idea where I am going wrong ?

Using validation on text entry box

I am trying to set up validation on text entry boxes. Three of the boxes need to only accept integers and one text as a postcode. I am not sure whether to do this in a function previously defined or when the entry boxes are created. Also how would i make the values from the text entry boxes be accessable in the function QuoteCreation. All my code is below.
from tkinter import *
class quote():
def __init__(self, master):
self.master=master
self.master.title("Quote Screen")
self.master.geometry("2100x1400")
self.master.configure(background = "white")
self.Borras = PhotoImage(file = "Borras.Logo.2.gif") #sets up image
self.Borras.image = self.Borras
self.BorrasLabel = Label(self.master, image = self.Borras, bg = "white")#puts image onto label
self.BorrasLabel.place(anchor=NW)
self.Title = Label(self.master, text = "New Quote", font = ("calibri", 20), bg = "White")
self.Title.place(x=650, y = 10)
self.SubmitButton = PhotoImage(file = "Submit.Button.gif") #sets up image
self.SubmitButton.image = self.SubmitButton
self.SubmitButtonLabel = Button(self.master, image = self.SubmitButton, bg = "white", command= self.QuoteCreation)#puts image onto a button
self.SubmitButtonLabel.place(x=900, y=290)
PostCodeVar = StringVar()
PostCodeEntry = Entry(master,width=50, font=20, textvariable=PostCodeVar)
PostCodeEntry.place(x = 20, y = 150)
PostCodeVar.set("Please enter the Post Code")
PostCodeValue = PostCodeVar.get()
HeightVar = StringVar()
HeightEntry = Entry(master, width=50, font=20, textvariable=HeightVar)
HeightEntry.place(x = 20, y = 220)
HeightVar.set("Please enter the Height")
HeightValue = HeightVar.get()
LengthVar = StringVar()
LengthEntry = Entry(master, width=50, font=20, textvariable=LengthVar)
LengthEntry.place(x = 20, y = 290)
LengthVar.set("Please enter the Length")
LengthValue = LengthVar.get()
PitchVar = StringVar()
PitchEntry = Entry(master, width=50, font=20, textvariable=PitchVar)
PitchEntry.place(x = 20, y = 360)
PitchVar.set("Please enter the Pitch")
PitchValue = PitchVar.get()
RiseVar = StringVar()
RiseEntry = Entry(master, width=50, font=20, textvariable=RiseVar)
RiseEntry.place(x = 20, y = 430)
RiseVar.set("Please enter the Rise")
RiseValue = RiseVar.get()
self.SubmitButton = PhotoImage(file = "Submit.Button.gif")
self.SubmitButton.image = self.SubmitButton
self.SubmitButtonLabel = Button(self.master, image = self.SubmitButton, bg = "white", command= self.QuoteCreation)#puts image onto a button
self.SubmitButtonLabel.place(x=900, y=290)
def on_button(self):
print(self.entry.get())
def QuoteCreation(self):
print(' ')
def quitWindow(self):
self.master.destroy()
def backToWelcome(self):
self.master.destroy()

You would set up separate functions to deal with the validation, when the submit button is pressed.
So, as an example, your submit button may look a bit like this:
submitButton = Button(master, text="Submit", command=validation)
The validation, in your case would then want to carry out these checks:
def validation():
postcode = PostCodeVar.get()
length = LengthVar.get()
pitch = PitchVar.get()
rise = RiseVar.get()
if postcodeCheck(postcode) == True and length.isdigit() == True and pitch.isdigit() == True and rise.isdigit() == True:
#carry out chosen process
In your case, you can try setting the postcode, length, pitch and height variables before calling the function, and setting them as global. The postcode should be created, and if it is okay, the function should then:
return True
...so it matches the outcome of the if statement.
I hope this is what you were looking for, and can adapt the example to your specific problem!

TypeError: 'float' object has no attribute '__getitem__'. (Python)

CanvasHeight = 500
CanvasWidth = 600
Canvas width and height set to 10x the maximum of the variables.

This is the window for all the sliders, and is defined as "MainWindow" for later use.
Strength = DoubleVar()
Multiple = DoubleVar()

All of the variables set to DoubleVar, because of the Tkinter plugin.
It needs it's own special floats, integers and strings to work.
They can be accessed as normal variables by using VARIABLE.get()
coords = []
lastcoords = [0,0]
This is what we'll use to continue the line instead of just having a bunch of lines drawing themselves from the corner of the screen.
Plot = DoubleVar()
StrengthScale = Scale( MainWindow, variable = Strength, orient = HORIZONTAL,label="Strength")

I need some help with the float object getitem error, I'm doing this code for work experience at Manchester university...

You replaced the lastcoords list with a floating point value:
lastcoords = Time.get()*5
lastcoords = Strength.get()*Multiple.get()*5
so that next time around the line:
lastcoords0 = lastcoords[0]
raises your exception as you cannot use subscription on a floating point value.
I think you wanted to set a new list instead:
lastcoords = [Time.get() * 5, Strength.get() * Multiple.get() * 5]

Python Tkinter xscrollbar not working

I'm almost at the point of tearing my hair out over this one:
I'm trying to get an xscrollbar and yscrollbar working so that I can move around a large canvas in Tkinter. The reason I'm so frustrated is because the yscrollbar seems to be working WITH THE EXACT SAME CODE (replacing x with y everywhere). Here's what I have:
master = Tk()
scrolly = Scrollbar(master,orient = VERTICAL)
scrollx = Scrollbar(master,orient = HORIZONTAL)
scrollx.pack(side = TOP,fill = X)
scrolly.pack(side = RIGHT,fill = Y)
w = Canvas(master, width=1000,height=1000,yscrollcommand = scrolly.set,xscrollcommand = scrollx.set,scrollregion=(0,0,1000,1000))
s = Scale(master,from_= 0, to=len(worldlist)-1,orient = HORIZONTAL,length = 595)
s.pack(side = BOTTOM)
w.pack()
setSys(worldlist[0],master,w)
def show(self):
w.delete(ALL)
setSys(worldlist[s.get()],master,w)
s.config(command = show)
scrolly.config(command = w.yview)
scrollx.config(command = w.xview)
mainloop()
I want the canvas and a scale widget sitting at the bottom. And at the right and top, a ybar and an xbar, respectively. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I'm quite desperate for some help!
Thanks!
Gabe

The reason the xbar isn't working is because it's got nothing to scroll to. After you configure the canvas to a size bigger than the screen, it starts working. Take a look at the following code to see where I've added the scrollregion config. http://www.java2s.com/Code/Python/GUI-Tk/ScrolledCanvas.htm
from Tkinter import *
def show(self):
w.delete(ALL)
setSys(worldlist[s.get()],master,w)
master = Tk()
scrolly = Scrollbar(master,orient = VERTICAL)
scrollx = Scrollbar(master,orient = HORIZONTAL)
scrollx.pack(side = TOP,fill = X)
scrolly.pack(side = RIGHT,fill = Y)
w = Canvas(master, width=500, height=500, yscrollcommand = scrolly.set,
xscrollcommand = scrollx.set, scrollregion=(0,0,1000,1000))
w.config(scrollregion=(0, 0, 500, 5000))
w.pack()
s = Scale(master,from_= 0, to=100-1,orient = HORIZONTAL,length = 595)
s.pack(side = BOTTOM)
s.config(command = show)
scrolly.config(command = w.yview)
scrollx.config(command = w.xview)
mainloop()
