How do you use .get() with a multiframe shopping cart in python tkinter?

In this code. I want display the information from the frame I hit the Buy button on. I'm sure it is a simple solution but it has eluded me. I've been going through google and stack overflow with no solution yet.
I tried making the NewFrame global but that just does the last one made.
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
FrameNum = 1
ItemCount = 1
def combine_funcs(*funcs):
def combined_func(*args, **kwargs):
for f in funcs:
f(*args, **kwargs)
return combined_func
def place_order():
global ItemCount
Product = Product_Box.get()
Label(root, text="Your Purchase of " + str(Product) + " Placed").grid(row=1, column=3, stick="w")
ItemCount += 1
def create_frame():
global FrameNum
NewFrame = LabelFrame(root,name=("newframe"+str(FrameNum)), text=("Item "+str(FrameNum)),width=100, height=100)
NewFrame.grid(row=FrameNum, column=0)
Product_Lab = Label(NewFrame, text="Product").grid(row=0, column=0)
Qty_Lab = Label(NewFrame, text="Qty").grid(row=0, column=1)
Price_Lab = Label(NewFrame, text="Price").grid(row=0, column=2)
# Entry Boxes
Product_Box = Entry(NewFrame, width=10).grid(row=1, column=0)
Qty_Box = Entry(NewFrame, width=12).grid(row=1, column=1)
Price_box = Entry(NewFrame, width=6).grid(row=1, column=2)
Remove_Bet_Button = Button(NewFrame, text="Del", command=NewFrame.destroy).grid(row=3, column=2)
Buy_Button = Button(NewFrame, text="Buy", command=combine_funcs(place_order, NewFrame.destroy)).grid(row=3, column=0)
FrameNum += 1
framebutton = Button(root, text="Frame", command=create_frame).grid(row=0, column = 3, stick ="n")
root.mainloop()
I get this error when hitting the Buy button. (with or without information entered into the boxes from that frame)
NameError: name 'Product_Box' is not defined

Product_Box is local variable created in create_frame() - to access it in other functions you have to assign to global variable - so you need add global Product_Box in create_frame()
But there is other problem:
variable = tk.Widget().grid() assigns None to variable because grid()/pack()/place() returns None. You have to do it in two steps variable = tk.Widget() and varaible.grid().
Product_Lab = Label(NewFrame, text="Product")
Product_Lab.grid(row=0, column=0)
And now code works but later you will have the same problem with other variables.

How do I create or move a Tkinter widget when a checkbutton is clicked but the widget has to be in two different places based on what is clicked?

So I'm trying to create a tkinter GUI and I want an entry widget to appear in one location if 'Yes' is selected on a list, and then an alternate location if 'No' is selected. I am also having a problem with clearing my entry boxes and removing the widgets that appear when 'Yes' is selected. It is supposed to be a interest collecting form that writes info input by the user to send an email to them after directing them to other resources and such. Is there an alternate way I should go about handling the logic other than if statements? I am relatively new to python and I got to this point and I don't know how to solve it.

ValueError: <tkinter.OptionMenu object .!optionmenu> is not in list

I am trying to print a corresponding value to the index of a list from another list like so:
print(safeDis[chem.index(self.drop2)])
but when doing this i get the above error. I believe i had this working in a previous iteration but i cannot find the one that was.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

chem = ["HTP 50%","HTP 84%","HTP 90%","Kerosene","Benzene"]

self.root = root
self.toplbl = ttk.Label(root, text="Select firing point meterials ",font=("arial",12)) #lable for select meterial 1
self.lbl1 = ttk.Label(root, text="Meterial 1: ",font=("arial",10)) #lable for select meterial 1

self.Back = ttk.Button(root, text="Back", command = print("DONG"))
self.mass1 = ttk.Entry(root, width=8)
self.mass2 = tk.Entry(root,width=8)
self.clicked = tk.StringVar() #set the variable to a string value allowing the meterial names to apeer in it
self.clicked.set(chem[3]) #set the default meterial from the chem list
self.clicked2 = tk.StringVar()
self.clicked2.set(chem[3])
self.drop2 = tk.OptionMenu(root, self.clicked2, *chem) #setup the dropdown menue with optionmenue function set to the chem list
self.drop = tk.OptionMenu(root, self.clicked, *chem)
self.toplbl.grid(column=0, row=0,columnspan=3,sticky="w",padx=10,pady=10) #place meterial label 1
self.lbl1.grid(column=0, row=1,padx=10) #place meterial label 1

self.drop2.grid(column=2, row=3)
self.Apply.grid(column=2,row=5,pady=10,padx=10)

self.app = Page3(self.root)
#class Page5:
def main():
root = tk.Tk()
app = Page4(root)
root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

The problem was that self.drop2 is an object of OptionMenu, not the value of it. To get the value returned by it, use the get() method on its variable defined (self.clicked2.get())
So it should be:
print(safeDis[chem.index(self.clicked2.get())])
Hope it solved the error, do let me know if any more doubts
Cheers

Problem in clearing frame using tkinter python

I am new to tkinter Python module and creating a very simple UI with tkinter.
Its basically a optical card which will first ask for card number. User can enter "Card1 or Card2". For Card1 there is one more edit which ask for KM range like 10KM, 40KM, 80KM and user can enter the value specified and it gives the optimal value and acceptable value.
Code is working fine. Only problem is with clearing the information using clear button for Card1. I am not able to clear the complete information for Card1 which includes clearing the edit box and outout.
Below is the code
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter
frm = Tk()
frm.geometry('600x400')
frm.title("Optical Power Specs")
bg = "#94FB9E"
fnt = 'tahoma 15 bold'
frm.config(bg=bg)
frm.resizable(False, False)
#frm.iconbitmap('f.gif')
frame = Frame(frm, bg=bg)

lbl104080.grid(row=1, column=0, pady=30)
txt104080.grid(row=1, column=1)
if str(txt104080.get()) == '10KM':
lblr['text'] = ("""
Optimal Value = -10 To -10 dBm
Acceptable Value = -10 To -10 dBm
""")
elif str(txt104080.get()) == '40KM':
lblr['text'] = ("""
Optimal Value = -40 To -40 dBm
Acceptable Value = -40 To 40 dBm

elif str(txt1.get()) == 'A1236':
lblr['text'] = ("""

Please help me to solve this issue

You probably want txt1.delete(0, 'end') that will delete all text from main entry text
def clea():
#lbl104080['text'] = ('')
txt104080['text'] = ('')
txt1.delete(0, 'end')
lbl104080.destroy()
frame3.grid_forget()
frame3.destroy()
#frame3.destroy()
lblr['text'] = ('')

How do I make my python tkinter output to show in GUI instead of python shell?

I wrote a python program with tkinter to reveal the continent of each these 4 countries: Nigeria, Canada, China, and Australia -- when the user clicks an "enter" button. I want when the user clicks the "Enter" button, then the text in the response label should reveal the particular continent the selected country belongs to.
The main issue is that I don't know how to make the output to update in a label visible in the main program window, instead the output is displayed on python shell. (I'm a novice in python tkinter GUI)
============================ The Code =====================================
from functools import partial
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
def serial_port(var):
selection = var.get()
# to save space
text_dict = {
1: 'Africa',
2: 'North America',
3: 'Asia',
4: 'Australia'}
text_to_print = text_dict[selection]
print(text_to_print) #apparently, I learn I can't use print in GUI but idk what to use in place of print here
def main():
root= tk.Tk()
root.title("Continent")
root.geometry("500x300")

To print text into a tkinter GUI, you need a separate label widget.
Check the code below. I have added the widget Return_Label, which you can change the config and position of to however you like. I'm pretty sure this should do what you want.
#These variables are made global so both functions can access them
var = None
Return_Label = None
def serial_port():
global var, Return_Label
selection = var.get()
text_dict = {
1: "Africa",
2: "North America",
3: "Asia",
4: "Australia"}
text_to_print = text_dict[selection]
Return_Label.config(text = text_to_print)
def main():
global var, Return_Label
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Continent")
root.geometry("500x300")
var = tk.IntVar()
var.set(1)
Lang_1 = tk.Radiobutton(root, text = "Nigeria", variable = var, value = 1, width = 20)
Lang_2 = tk.Radiobutton(root, text = "Canada", variable = var, value = 2, width = 20)
Lang_3 = tk.Radiobutton(root, text = "Japan", variable = var, value = 3, width = 20)
Lang_4 = tk.Radiobutton(root, text = "Australia", variable = var, value = 4, width = 20)
Enter_Button = tk.Button(root, text = "ENTER", command = serial_port, relief = "ridge", bg = "Cyan", width = 20)
Return_Label = tk.Label(root)
Lang_1.grid(row = 1, column = 5)
Lang_2.grid(row = 2, column = 5)
Lang_3.grid(row = 3, column = 5)
Lang_4.grid(row = 4, column = 5)
Enter_Button.grid(row = 7, column = 3)
Return_Label.grid(row = 6, column = 3) #change this to wherever you want it printed
root.mainloop()
if (__name__ == "__main__"):
main()

You're almost there. You need to use an Entry widget.
from functools import partial
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
def serial_port(var,entry): #add the Entry widget as variable
entry.delete(0, 'end') #clear the entry
selection = var.get()
text_dict = {
1: 'Africa',
2: 'North America',
3: 'Asia',
4: 'Australia'}
text_to_print = text_dict[selection]
entry.insert(0,text_to_print) #set the entry
def main():
