What am I doing wrong in this code? The callback doesn't work from the Entry
widget.
##start code
import Tkinter
tk = Tkinter.Tk()
var = Tkinter.StringVar()
print var._name
def cb(name, index, mode):
print "callback called with name=%r, index=%r, mode=%r" % (name, index, mode)
varValue = tk.getvar(name)
print " and variable value = %r" % varValue
var.trace('w', cb)
var.set('test')
entry = Tkinter.Entry(tk, textvariable=var)
entry.pack()
tk.mainloop()
##end code
It produces the following output. The first three lines appear right away, and
the exception occurs when you type in the entry widget:
>test.py
PY_VAR0
callback called with name='PY_VAR0', index='', mode='w'
and variable value = 'test'
callback called with name='PY_VAR0', index='', mode='w'
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "D:\APCC\Projects\Utilities\VisualData\test.py", line 9, in cb
varValue = tk.getvar(name)
File "C:\Python25\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 421, in getvar
return self.tk.getvar(name)
TclError: can't read "PY_VAR0": no such variable
