adding text to python using tkinter

Question

Hey guys I am doing a sample project on python. I have made a simple calculator. The thing is that I want that calculator in a box. I have read many articles and I found about Tkinter.

The thing is I want to get the input as a text using tkinter.

My code

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

my_text = tk.Text(root)

my_text.pack()

my_text.insert(tk.END,"Select operation.")

When i run my_text.insert(tk.END,"Select operation.") it works fine in a box but when i run my_text.insert(input(tk.END,"Enter choice(1/2/3/4")): it doesn't work ..

Why is it so. I need Enter choice(1/2/3/4")): to be printed on the screen with box.

Hope you can find a solution for me ..Thanks in advance

If I understood you correctly, you should check out Entry widget. — Lafexlos

I believe the first comment is what you are looking for. I think you can use a StringVar to have a prompt inside the entry box if I can remember right. — Harvey

You cannot use input with a text widget. You will need to create buttons or bindings that react to events. You should work through a complete Tkinter tutorial so you can understand how it works.
