I assume you're referring to GladeGen that was in Linux Journal (July  
2004 I think) - I'm the person who wrote it.

main.Main() creates a new instance of the class, but you want to use  
the existing instance. A simple way around this is to pass the  
instance of the main class to the wind class when you create it.

Assuming you're in a method of the main class when you create it do  
something like:

self.wind = wind(self)

and then your wind constructor includes:

def __init__(self, main):

      self.main = main

and then in your wind method that you want to set the text entry, you  
write:

     self.main.widgets['entry1].set_text('something')

HTH,
