Greetings pythonistas,

I have been exploring the use of Tkinter trying to write a fairly simple 
program which will accept data from a GUI with 3 Entry fields that is commanded 
by a Button. Once the button is pressed the values in the fields should result 
in a calculation - the values should all be numeric (I'll work on catching 
errors later) but I can not figure out how to pass those values to the callback 
function for the button. Here is my code so far:

from Tkinter import *

class App:

    def __init__( self, master ):

        frame = Frame( master )
        
        frame.grid()
        
        entry1 = Entry( frame, bg = "white", width = 3 ).grid(row = 0, column = 
0 )
        Label( frame, text = "X^2 +" ).grid( row = 0, column = 1 )
        entry2 = Entry( frame, bg = "white", width = 3 ).grid(row = 0, column = 
2 )
        Label( frame, text = "X +" ).grid( row = 0, column = 3 )
        entry3 = Entry( frame, bg = "white", width = 3 ).grid(row = 0, column = 
4 )
        Label( frame, text = "= 0" ).grid( row = 0, column = 5 )
        
        calcbutton = Button( text = "How many Real roots?", command = 
self.calculate )
        calcbutton.grid( row = 1, column = 0 )

    def calculate( self ):
        print 1
        
root = Tk()

root.geometry( '250x100+450+70' )

app = App(root)

root.mainloop()

Now the above code runs, but I need to figure out how to get the contents of 
the fields entry1, entry2 and entry3 to the calculate method. Or maybe I am 
going about this all wrong and there is a better way to do it. Any help would 
be appreciated.

Brett
