Tkinter should be included in the standard Windows download you should not need to install it. try >>> import tkinter # not Tkinter!

Here is some basic Tkinter code that does what I think you want. You have to close the window by clicking the close icon but that could be incorporated in the button code. import tkinter as tk myVar = "" def get_value(edt): global myVar myVar = edt.get() def edit_val(val): top = tk.Tk() ed = tk.Entry(top) ed.insert(tk.END, val) ed.pack() tk.Button(top,text="Store changes", command=lambda : get_value(ed)).pack() top.mainloop() myVar = input("Enter a start value: ") print( "Before: ", myVar) edit_val(myVar) print( "After: ", myVar) > The issue I have with a lot of GUI programs built for Python they generally > fail in the accessibility department for a screen reader. I can't help there I have nearly zero experience of using accessibility tools. But I'd expect any GUI toolkit to work with the standard OS tools. After all they are ultimately all built using the underlying primitive GUI API > Most open source software which is multi-platform supported fail in this Of course, since most open source authors have no incentive to develop accessible specific code. They are just scratching their own itch and making it available to anyone who wants to use it. That's how open source works. > ....

I can understand why folks get excited about it, especially if they (or friends/family) need that feature. But the cost (both in time and money) of doing so is considerable and if nobody is paying (or there is a time deadline) then it tends not to get done. That's capitalism in action. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
