field.get_text()
field.set_text(value)

-1 -1 -1  Do not "google" [search the Internet] for solutions to pyGtk
problems.  That is just a confusing waste of time.  Use the *excellent*
and well-linked documentation:

<http://pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/>
<http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=index>

The FAQ is extensive and really does cover a lot of the common
questions.  Also there is a list specifically for pygtk questions:

Google, or Bing, or even DuckDuckGo, are *not* your friends.  They are
enormous and inefficient time-sinks.  They are a *BAD* way to solve
problems.  Use the documentation.
