[Tutor] Tkinter Calendar to receive user entry.

[Pooja Bhalode]

Hi Alan,

Thank you so much for your advice, I would start looking into learning some
object oriented programming to make myself familiar with it. That would
help me move ahead as well.

Hi Peter,

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, that was the example that I was
looking at on stackoverflow. Yes, it works for me as well now. Thanks a lot
for your help there.

Yours truly,
Pooja
