How To Get Multiple Text Entries From Gui And Use Those In A Main Python Script?

I have a python file that extracts tweets, get their geo-coordinates and sentiment and finally plots those tweets/sentiment as colored circles on a map. The following inputs (text

Solution 1:

You could store the results of the different GUI 'questions' in to a dictionary ready for the other parts of the code to use. That way you would only have one function that 'collects/validates/stores' the responses.

For example

import tkinter as tk

classApp(tk.Frame):
    def__init__(self,master=None,**kw):
        #Create a blank dictionary
        self.answers = {}
        tk.Frame.__init__(self,master=master,**kw)

        tk.Label(self,text="Maximum number of Tweets").grid(row=0,column=0)
        self.question1 = tk.Entry(self)
        self.question1.grid(row=0,column=1)

        tk.Label(self,text="Topic").grid(row=1,column=0)
        self.question2 = tk.Entry(self)
        self.question2.grid(row=1,column=1)

        tk.Button(self,text="Go",command = self.collectAnswers).grid(row=2,column=1)


    defcollectAnswers(self):
        self.answers['MaxTweets'] = self.question1.get()
        self.answers['Topic'] = self.question2.get()
        functionThatUsesAnswers(self.answers)

deffunctionThatUsesAnswers(answers):
    print("Maximum Number of Tweets ", answers['MaxTweets'])
    print("Topic ", answers['Topic'])


if __name__ == '__main__':
    root = tk.Tk()
    App(root).grid()
    root.mainloop()

When the button is pressed, each of the 'answers' are added to a dictionary which is then passed to the function that does the main part of your code.
