How do I assign a TextBox value to a variable in Python? -

lbl1 = label(root, text="target:").pack() box1 = entry(root).pack() lbl2 = label(root, text="port:").pack() box2 = entry(root).pack()  ps_target = #value given box1 

i'm trying make value give box1 appear on 'ps_target' variable. how do this? i'm using tkinter module in python 2.7.6.

if need more detail please let me know give as possible.

there 2 problems, first should calling pack separately. instead of

box1 = entry(root).pack() 

you should do

box1 = entry(root) box1.pack() 

to value box call get

box1.get()
