Getting the value in Combobox as an integer

I'm working on a simple registration phase for a password scheme, but I can't seem to get the value in the combobox as an integer as it keeps giving ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''. I've tried many methods but they don't seem to work. Additionally, I want to store the data in the entry and comboboxes for my next window, but it keeps registering as ValueError: '' is not in list.
The code:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import random
from tkinter import messagebox
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter.ttk import Combobox
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("375x130")
var = tk.StringVar()
data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
lbl = tk.Label(root, text = "Your password must have 7 to 15 characters with \nat least 1 number, 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase letter. ")
lbl1 = tk.Label(root, text = "Choose your password: ")
lbl2 = tk.Label(root, text = "n")
lbl3 = tk.Label(root, text = "y")
entry1 = tk.Entry(root)
combo1 = Combobox(root, values = data, state = "readonly")
combo2 = Combobox(root, values = data, state = "readonly")
lbl.place(x = 10, y = 0)
lbl1.place(x = 10, y = 35)
lbl2.place(x = 10, y = 60)
lbl3.place(x = 10, y = 85)
entry1.place(x = 155, y = 35)
combo1.place(x = 25, y = 60)
combo2.place(x = 25, y = 85)
pw = entry1.get()
n = combo1.get()
y = combo2.get()
root.title('Registration')
done_button = tk.Button(root, text = "Done", command = root.destroy, width = 5)
done_button.place(x = 205, y = 80)
root.mainloop()
password = str(pw)
n = int(data.index(n)) - 1
y = int(data.index(y)) - 1

When the following lines are executed:
pw = entry1.get()
n = combo1.get()
y = combo2.get()
The entry box and the two comboboxes are just created, so nothing is input in the entry box and nothing is selected in the two comboboxes.
You need to do it inside a function triggered by the "Done" button:
...
# function called by "Done" button
def done():
pw = entry1.get()
n = int(combo1.get()) # convert selection to integer
y = int(combo2.get()) # convert selection to integer
print(f"{pw=}, {n=}, {y=}")
n = data.index(n) - 1
y = data.index(y) - 1
print(f"{n=}, {y=}")
root.destroy()
root.title('Registration')
done_button = tk.Button(root, text = "Done", command = done, width = 5)
done_button.place(x = 205, y = 80)
root.mainloop()
Output in console:
pw='hello', n=4, y=9
n=2, y=7

There are a couple of issues with your code:
Firstly, you need to bind the combobox change events with a function of some sort
The combobox returns a string of the number selected - which needs conversion
I am not sure what you aimed to do with n and y - but I kept the formula you used.
Fix these, and the combobox issues resolve.
See code below:
Code:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import random
from tkinter import messagebox
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter.ttk import Combobox
def combo_n_changed(event):
n = combo1.get()
n = int(data.index(int(n))) - 1
print("n=",n)
def combo_y_changed(event):
y = combo2.get()
y = int(data.index(int(y))) - 1
print("y=",y)
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("375x130")
var = tk.StringVar()
data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
lbl = tk.Label(root, text = "Your password must have 7 to 15 characters with \nat least 1 number, 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase letter. ")
lbl1 = tk.Label(root, text = "Choose your password: ")
lbl2 = tk.Label(root, text = "n")
lbl3 = tk.Label(root, text = "y")
entry1 = tk.Entry(root)
combo1 = Combobox(root, values = data, state = "readonly")
combo2 = Combobox(root, values = data, state = "readonly")
lbl.place(x = 10, y = 0)
lbl1.place(x = 10, y = 35)
lbl2.place(x = 10, y = 60)
lbl3.place(x = 10, y = 85)
entry1.place(x = 155, y = 35)
combo1.place(x = 25, y = 60)
combo2.place(x = 25, y = 85)
pw = entry1.get()
combo1.bind('<<ComboboxSelected>>', combo_n_changed)
combo2.bind('<<ComboboxSelected>>', combo_y_changed)
root.title('Registration')
done_button = tk.Button(root, text = "Done", command = root.destroy, width = 5)
done_button.place(x = 205, y = 80)
root.mainloop()
I entered the information as per the image below:
Output:
n= 1
y= 2

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)

Python program can't handle running exes

My program stops working after successfully running the two exes. here is the code:
from tkinter import *
import os
root = Tk()
root.geometry('350x150')
root.title("hurler")
photo = PhotoImage(file = "Logo_Image.png")
root.iconphoto(False, photo)
entry_text = Label(text = "Number of posts you wish to automate (between 1-12) * ")
entry_text.place(x = 15, y = 10)
num = StringVar()
time_entry = Entry(textvariable = num, width = "10")
time_entry.place(x = 15, y = 40)
def action():
global num
num = num.get()
if num == '1':
os.startfile('.\\hurl\\hurl.exe')
# exit()
if num == '2':
os.startfile('.\\hurl\\hurl.exe')
os.startfile('.\\hurl2\\hurl.exe')
# exit()
num = StringVar()
register = Button(root,text = "Make", width = "10", height = "2", command = action, bg = "lightblue")
register.place(x = 15, y = 70)
root.mainloop()
hurl takes in text entries and then runs a web driver exe after pressing the Post button. Heres a sample block from code from hurl:
from tkinter import *
import os
from time import sleep
root = Tk()
root.geometry('600x600')
root.title("hurl")
photo = PhotoImage(file = "Logo_Image.png")
root.iconphoto(False, photo)
def save_post():
emailE = email_in.get()
file1 = open ("user.txt", "w")
file1.write(emailE)
file1.close()
passE = pass_in.get()
file2 = open ('pass.txt', 'w')
file2.write(passE)
file2.close()
entry1_text = Label(text = "Email * ",)
entry2_text = Label(text = "Password * ",)
entry1_text.place(x = 15, y = 70)
entry2_text.place(x = 15, y = 130)
email_in = StringVar()
pass_in = StringVar()
email_entry = Entry(textvariable = email_in, width = "30")
pass_entry = Entry(textvariable = pass_in, width = "30")
def app():
os.system(".\Auto_Post_With_Photo.exe")
def everything():
save_post()
app()
register = Button(root,text = "Post", width = "10", height = "2", command = everything, bg = "lightblue")
register.place(x = 15, y = 380)
root.mainloop()
I'm hoping I don't need to show the last program to get an answer to the issue. The Issue I'm having is that the program runs perfectly until the button is pressed, and then the hurls exes crash.
But if I click on the two hurl.exe with my mouse and not this 3rd program pressing the post button won't crash.
Any ideas to fix this issue? Also, it's not due to the 'exit()s', it does the same thing with or without them. :)

Sqlite3 Accessing a specific record from a database from a different class and putting it into a tkinter entrybox

The function of this code is that it displays the list of records in a database with one of the fields being a button. When this button is clicked it brings the user to a new frame which displays the account information for that record.
The record information is displayed in the Record class as dat[0] and dat[1] and I have had problems with initializing this in the second class, I do not know how I would get this information to appear on the second screen.
Thanks for any help.

Have you tried merging the two classes together ?

if you can push values from database you only need make a .insert on Entrybox
maybe like this
tkEntry = Entry( master)
tkEntry.pack() # .grid or .place, don't make this in obj create
tkEntry.insert( 0, dat[0] ) # 0 is the index and dat[0] is your value

python TypeError when using OptionMenu Tkinter [duplicate]

ive currently been trying to build a GUI application in Tkinter that takes user input from an Entry and subsiquently populate a drop down menu. The probelm is that the OptionMenu keeps throwing:
