Polling selections from a listbox (Tkinter)

[Harlin Seritt]

I am trying to poll selections from a listbox but can't seem to get it
to work correctly.

class pollstuff:
def __init__(self, master):
self.listbox = Listbox(master)
self.listbox.pa ck()

names = ['Bob', 'Neal', 'Mike']
for n in names:
self.listbox.in sert(END, n)
self.listbox.se lect_set(0)

LabelStr = StringVar()
self.label = Label(master, textvariable=La belStr)
self.label.pack ()
LabelStr.set(na mes[map(int, self.listbox.cu rselection())])

root = Tk()
app = pollstuff(root)
root.mainloop()

Obviously when this starts up this is going to show selection #0 inside
the label box. How do I make sure that whatever is arbitrarily selected
ends up in the label box as this gui runs? I tried doing a bind:

self.listbox.bi nd("<Button-1>", self.changelabe l)

This did not work as intended as the changelabel's text option only
showed what the selection index was BEFORE the event took place. Does
anyone know of any special thing I need to do in order to poll the
listbox items?

Thanks,

Harlin

Bind on <ButtonReleas e-1>; <Button-1> is a synonym for <ButtonPress-1>, and when the button is pressed, the selection is not done yet.
