First off I have this class (thanks to whoever came up with this way back when):
###################### # BEGIN: class Command # LIB:Command():2006.110 # Pass arguments to functions from button presses and menu selections, # bind's. Nice! # In your declaration: # ...command = Command(func, args,...) class Command: def __init__(self, func, *args, **kw): self.func = func self.args = args self.kw = kw def __call__(self, *args, **kw): args = self.args+args kw.update(self.kw) apply(self.func, args, kw) # END: class Command Then in the setup part of an entry form I have: # CHBCBarcodeLastVar is the variable for an Entry() field Button(SubFrame, text = "Print Barcode", \ command = Command(test, "other", CHBCBarcodeLastVar.get(), \ "CHBC")).pack(side = LEFT) Then this is a/the test function: def test(What, BC, Where, e = None): # Does print the correct value print CHBCBarcodeLastVar.get() # Does change the field on the form CHBCBarcodeLastVar.set("55555") # BC is "" print ":"+What+":", ":"+BC+":", ":"+Where+":" return Everything works as it should, except when the Button is clicked BC is an empty str in test(). How come? (I really have NO clue how that Command class works, but I use it like crazy. Is it the problem?) Thanks! Bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
