manipulating data

[ibrewale_2000 at yahoo.com]

Need some help;

I have a Pmw/Tkinter program I am trying to write (just learning), in a
text entry box I can retrieve numbers entered into it and print it like
this...

print self.amount.get()

But I want to assign the number I retrieve with get, into a variable,
like:

b = self.amount.get()

but this doesnt work.  I would like to put it into the variable,
multiply it b = b * .0875  (example)
and then eventually cPickle it.

How do I put it into the variable??

Thanks
