Question about Tkinter MenuOption variable

Is there anyway to set the individual options in Tkinter to a
particular variable. For example, I have a menu option(code is below)
which has January, February, March and so on, which I would like to
have corresponding values of 01, 02, 03 and so on. Can someone please
tell me how to do that within the context of the code I have below -
or even totally modify it if you must.

Label(self,
text = "Month"
).grid(row = 5, column = 1, sticky = W)
OPTIONS = [
"Jan",
"Feb",
"Mar",
"Apr",
"May",
"June",
"July",
"Aug",
"Sep",
"Oct",
"Nov",
"Dec"]
default_option = StringVar(self)
default_option. set(OPTIONS[0])
self.month_opti on = OptionMenu(self , default_option, *OPTIONS)
self.month_opti on.grid(row = 5, column = 2, sticky = W)

default_option. set(OPTIONS[0])
self.month_opti on = OptionMenu(self , default_option, *OPTIONS)
self.month_opti on.grid(row = 5, column = 2, sticky = W)
What about using dictionary? For example:

<code>
import Tkinter as Tk

def state():
print OPTIONS[default_option. get()]

root = Tk.Tk()
Tk.Label(root, text="Month").g rid(row=1, column=1, sticky=Tk.W)
OPTIONS = dict(Jan=1, Feb=2, Mar=3, Apr=4, May=5, June=6, July=7,
Aug=8, Sep=9, Oct=10, Nov=11, Dec=12)
# or
#OPTIONS = dict(Jan="01", Feb="02", Mar="03", Apr="04", May="05",
June="06", July="07",
# Aug="08", Sep="09", Oct="10", Nov="11", Dec="12")

default_option = Tk.StringVar()
default_option. set("Jan")
month_option = Tk.OptionMenu(r oot, default_option, *OPTIONS.keys() )
month_option.gr id(row=1, column=2, sticky=Tk.W)
Tk.Button(root, command=state, text='state').g rid(row=2, column=1)

root.mainloop()
</code>

I want to support execution of simple user-written scripts in a Tkinter application. The scripts should be able to wait for data and such without hanging the GUI (and without having to write the script as a bunch of asynchronously called subroutines). I decided to use Tkinter's wait_variable. I built a "script runner" object that has suitable wait methods. Internally each of these methods registers a callback that sets a variable when...

hi people. when i create a widget, such as a toplevel window, and then i destroy it, how can i test that it has been destroyed? the problem is that even after it has been destroyed, the instance still exists and has a tkinter name, so testing for None is not feasible: >>> import Tkinter >>> fin = None >>> fin1 = Tkinter.Toplevel()

I know this is probably a very simple question, but I am building a program that is now at about 2400 lines of code in the main module. I need to break it up, however, there are certain variables that I would like to use among all of them, namely the TKinter background. It's build using tkinter, so, to do anything useful requires having the master=Tk() variable portable in every interface. I can't just pass this variable, the real way to...

Hello: Below I have included a stripped down version of the GUI I am working on. It contains 2 dialog boxes - one main and one settings. It has the following problems, probably all related, that I am hoping someone knows what I am doing wrong: 1) Pressing the Settings.. Button multiple times, brings up many instances of the Settings Panel. I just want it to bring up one. Is there an easy way to do that?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
