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

class CGUI(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.pack()
        self.output = Listbox(self, width=100, height=30)
        self.output.pack()
        self.inputBox = Entry(self, bd=5, width=100)
        self.inputBox.pack(side=BOTTOM, expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
        self.inputBox.bind("<Return>", lambda event: 
self.parseInput(self.inputBox.get()))

    def parseInput(self, s):
        self.output.insert(END, s)
        self.inputBox.delete(0, END)

CGUI().mainloop()
