Pete,

pydoc Tkinter.Listbox

<snip>

  |  curselection(self)
  |      Return list of indices of currently selected item.
  |
  |  delete(self, first, last=None)
  |      Delete items from FIRST to LAST (not included).
  |
  |  get(self, first, last=None)
  |      Get list of items from FIRST to LAST (not included).

So to get the value of the selected item:

lb.get(lb.curselection()[0])


provided the listbox is in single selection mode or only one item is
selected
