Automatically naming objects in Tkinter

[Athos]

I am creating a window with a variable number of entries powered by a list and a for statement in Tkinter.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is basically like this:<br><br>cnt = 0<br>for x in list:<br> entry = Entry(window)<br> label = Label(window, text=x)<br> label.grid(row=cnt)<br> entry.grid(row=cnt, column=1)<br> cnt = cnt+1<br><br>My problem is that when I want to do a .get() command on the entries they all have the same name, so I'm only able to get the last one.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there a way for me automatically name the entries so each one has a unique name that I can find and use?<br>

Here is one solution:<br><br>cnt = 0<br>win=[]<br>for x in list:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;entry = Entry(window)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;label = Label(window, text=x)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;label.grid(row=cnt)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;entry.grid(row=cnt, column=1)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;cnt = cnt+1<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;win.append({'entry': entry,'label': label})<br><br>- now you can access each row as:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;win[0][&quot;entry&quot;] &lt;-- the entry for row:0<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;(to use get: do win[0][&quot;entry&quot;].get() )<br><br><br>a lot of other solutions exist of course<br>some more elegant - some less ...

a bit trickier:<br><br>class dummy: pass<br><br>cnt = 0<br>win=[]<br>for x in list:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;entry = Entry(window)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;label = Label(window, text=x)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;label.grid(row=cnt)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;entry.grid(row=cnt, column=1)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;cnt = cnt+1<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;row=dummy()<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;row.entry=entry<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;row.label=label<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;win.append(row)<br><br><br>now access is:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;win[0].entry - for row 0<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;win[cnt-1].entry - for last row..
