Here is an example:

-------------------------------------------------
from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
v = StringVar()
b1 = Radiobutton(root, variable=v, text='One', value='1')
b1.pack()
b2 = Radiobutton(root, variable=v, text='Two', value='2')
b2.pack()
b3 = Radiobutton(root, variable=v, text='Three', value='3')
b3.pack()

def show():
  print v.get()

Button(root, text='Show', command=show).pack()

root.mainloop()
-------------------------------------------------

This is what variables are for. The available classes are StringVar, 
IntVar, DoubleVar and BooleanVar.

BTW, that's also the way you should read in entries (using their 
textvariable option, not their get method).
