Thanks for you help, that did solve the problem.
I looked at the code to see if there was any difference between *value *and
*_value*. I don't understand why *value* is a simple wrapper around *_value*;
I don't see the reason for the existence of *_value*. Does anyone know why
this is the case?
I have also made a minor alteration to show how to do this in the
documentation. I'm unfamiliar with how to submit this as a patch so I'll
just post it here:
*cocos/menu.py, line 629:*
> class EntryMenuItem(MenuItem):
> """A menu item for entering a value.
>
> When selected, ``self.value`` is toggled, the callback function is
> called with ``self.value`` as argument.
>
> To alter the value in the callback function, do the following:
> 1. Alter _value (which is a list) to what you want, eg.
> menu_item._value = list("New")
> 2. Call menu_item._calculate_value()"""
