Tkinter- checkbutton

I want to have a checkbutton that when it is pushed will do a function
depending on if it was pushed before or not. Ei:

b=checkbutton(c ommand=check)
b.grid(row=0,co lumn=0)

def check():
if (b.value==0):
do_stuff_here()
elif(b.value==1 )
do_other_stuff_ here()
However, I keep running into problems with reading the data. How do I
make this work? Thanks!

Ere, ignore the mis-capped Checkbutton and the missed master call in
it...

You need to use a Tkinter variable (IntVar, StringVar or whatever),
associate it with the Checkbutton, and access it with the get() and
set() methods:

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

v = IntVar()
v.set(1)

def do_stuff_here() :
print "Value is zero"

def do_other_stuff_ here():
print "Value is not zero"

def check():
if v.get() == 0:
do_stuff_here()
elif v.get() == 1:
do_other_stuff_ here()
else:
print "This is impossible, but it happened"

b = Checkbutton(roo t, text = 'Press Me', command = check, variable = v)
b.grid(row = 0, column = 0)
root.mainloop()

Caution, newbie approaching... I'm trying to come up with a very simple Tkinter test application that consists of a window with a drop-down menu bar at the top and a grid of colored rectangles filling the remainder of the window. Mind you, this is a contrived test application to help me understand Tkinter and Python, not an actual application yet. I've trivially subclassed Tkinter.Canvas into ColorCanvas, added a bunch of ColorCanvases...

Please take a look at and run the code snippet shown below. It creates a canvas with vertical & Horizontal scroll-bars. If you shrink the window to smaller than the area of the canvas, the scroll-bars work as advertised. That's great. However, if you click the Left Mouse button, it calls code which expands the width of the canvas by 100 pixels. The area being viewed expands correspondingly..... BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO!!

Below is a simple code snippet showing a Tkinter Window bearing a canvas and 2 connected scrollbars (Vertical & Horizontal). Works fine. When you shrink/resize the window the scrollbars adjust accordingly. However, what I really want to happen is that the area of the canvas that the scrollbars show (the Scrollregion) should expand as the window grows. It doesn't currently do this. although, if the window shrinks smaller than the...

I'm trying unsuccessfully to do something in Tk that I though would be easy. After Googling this all day, I think I need some help. I am admittedly very novice with Tk (I started with it yesterday), so I am sure I am overlooking something simple. The basic idea is that my application will consist of a series of modal dialogs, that are chained together in "wizard" fashion. There will be some processing in between dialogs, but for the most...

Hi, One of my python program needs tkinter to be installed to run successfully. I am using Redhat 9.0 and hence tried installing by copying the tkinter-2.2.2-36.i386.rpm alone from the CD 3 to my pc. But, it is not getting installed and is failing by throwing the below errors. Should i need to configure / install any specific files for resolving this issue ?

I hate to do this, but I've thoroughly exhausted google search. Yes, it's that pesky root window and I have tried withdraw to no avail. I'm assuming this is because of the methods I'm using. I guess my question is two-fold. 1) How do I get rid of that window? 2) Any comments in general? I am just learning python (and coding with classes), so I'm sure there are things I should pound into my head before I learn bad habits. Here's the...
