How do you display text in a Entry field and have it disappear when a 
person clicks in it?

This is what I have so far:


from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.title("Password Changer")
root.geometry("300x300+600+250")

label1 = Label(root, text="Enter you password: ")
label1.grid(sticky=W, row=0, column=0)

enter_data1 = Entry(root, bg = "pale green")
enter_data1.grid(row=0, column=1)
enter_data1.insert(0, "password")

root.mainloop()


To get text into this box the person must first delete what is already 
in there.
