It looks like the LabelInput constructor includes some code. Did you mean
something like:
self.inputs['Contact Type'] = LabelInput(
ContactDataForm, 'contact_type',)
# query to fetch data from contacttypes table
fetch_all = "SELECT * from contacttypes"
cur.execute(fetch_all)
# fetching all rows
rows = cur.fetchall()
input_class=ttk.Combobox([values = rows])
input_var=tk.StringVar()
# get selected value and bind it to a method
cont_type = self.get() # selected value by mouse click
con.close()
