It's hard to say exactly without knowing what Entry.get() returns. But
be aware that all PyQt APIs return QStrings instead of regular python
strings, and despite attempts to make that difference invisible, it
often becomes a source of problems.
Oftentimes those problems are easily dealt with by turning them into
regular python strings by calling str(myQString).
