Thank You Everyone for your help.

I changed:

def execute_python_code2():
    t2.delete(0.0, END)
    output = commands.getoutput(com = "/sw/bin/python -c %s" % t1.get(0.0,
END).strip())
    t2.insert(END,output)
 to:

def execute_python_code2():
    t2.delete(0.0, END)
    output = commands.getoutput(t1.get(0.0,END)
    t2.insert(END,output)


This seems to do the trick. I can now enter a python command in t1 hit the
execute button and the result is printed in t2.

This seems to accomplish what I need. Once again, thank you everyone.

Thanks.
