[Tkinter-discuss] Newbie needs help with entrybox

[Simon Pickles]

Hello, I am new to python and tkinter, but enjoying it so far.

In trying to make a simple GUI I have stumbled on a problem binding an event 
to a function. I've got a listbox for output and an entrybox for input. How 
do I act on the text in the entry box when return is pressed?

Here's my attempt:

# GUI

from Tkinter import*
import tkMessageBox
from time import ctime, time

class CGUI:
    def __init__(self, master):
        frame = Frame(master, name="server")
        frame.pack()
        self.output = Listbox(frame, width=100, height=30)
        self.output.grid(row=0, column=0)
        self.inputBox = Entry(root, bd=5, width=100)
        self.inputBox.bind( "<KeyPress-Return>", 
self.__ParseInput(self.inputBox.get()) )
        self.inputBox.pack(side=BOTTOM, expand=YES, fill=BOTH)

    def __ParseInput(self, s):
        self.output.insert(END, s)


root = Tk()

gui = CGUI(root)
