  Python MegaWidgets provides an EntryField class that lets you specify
arbitrary validation functions for the input.  You could use it, or write
your own mini-subclass of Entry that -just- prevents unicode input, and then
use that class instead of Entry.  I'm not aware of a solution that will let
you continue using Tkinter.Entry and not get unicode input (at least, one
that isn't a dirty hack).
