Yes, you have the idea. Here's about the simplest summary I wrote to
another person that I can muster. It may clarify matters. The anumber
I'm referring to is in the 80 line version I posted to start this
thread.

Sure, just create normal Entry widgets and capture
the input string and convert/assign it as you would a
string captured from raw_input() in a console.
No magic required.

I have yet to really use Tkinter to put together any widgets, so I'm

an example to replace the one in the 80 line program? My plan is to

Does that include running from the command console?
Is this another IDLE/Tkinter issue maybe?

destroy destroys the widget, quit exits the main loop.
destroying the top level widget usually causes the mainloop; to die
too
so the end result is the same (provided you have no non-modal dialogs
open?).

I browsed through your response, and it looks like this may be doable.
I'll look this over more carefully this evening. It seems as though
someone should have had a similar problem in the past. The Tkinter

An interesting thought, I'll ponder it. Note though the use of control
variables like IntVar, etc. In the 2000 line original version of all
the program, integers, dates, and booleans are in use for the
simplified widget I produced. Note to the use of self.anumberVar.set.

FWIW. Personally I never use those convenience features of Tk.
I prefer to explicitly set and get them myself.

Nope. I just tried it. It works fine from there. Interesting, as far as
I know, the author wanted us to run it from IDLE. That may explain some
other oddities. I'll check with him. I'm quite sure in his user manual
he never talks about the command console.

Memory malfunction. I've been using the program to add features so much
with IDLE my brain went IDLE. One starts it by double clicking on the
py file. It is possible some users might have drifted off into IDLE
though, but unlikely.
