Put the entry widgets in a list, and access them that way:

import Tkinter
Tk = Tkinter

root = Tk.Tk()
entrylist = []


def MakeWidget(list):
    global entrylist
    cnt = 0

    for x in list:
        label = Tk.Label(root, text = x)
        entry = Tk.Entry(root)
        entrylist.append(entry)
        label.grid(row = cnt)
        entry.grid(row = cnt, column=1)
        cnt = cnt + 1
    button = Tk.Button(root, text = "Do It!", command = DoIt)
    button.grid(row = cnt)

def DoIt():
    for x in entrylist:
        print x.get()
    root.destroy()


MakeWidget(['spam', 'eggs', 'ham'])
root.mainloop()
