Thanks for the advice. When I do that, I get this error
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

return self.func(*args)
TypeError: focus_set() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
In situations like this where the function isn't one you wrote, how to you
debug these?
Lots of clues in that traceback. We can deduce that you're probably on
a non-Windows machine, and that you're using CPython 2.7, and Tkinter.
Those all would have been good information to include in your initial
posting.
The other thing it tells you is that your function object focus_set()
takes one too few arguments. So, the question is how do you determine
the types of each of those arguments?
First, write a non-class simple function, that takes two arguments, and
prints the type() and repr() for each. Use that function object in the
self.list.bind function call, and see what it prints when it runs.
Then, once you know the types, you have a clue as to what the real
function should look like.
We don't know what your self and login_user classes look like, so I was
trying to eliminate them as contenders for the confusion.
The other thing would be to read the tkinter docs, or find example
code. But since I've never used tkinter, I can't give you advice along
those lines.
