Python Tkinter Prompt

Question

I am trying to prompt the user to enter a string of text. Is there available with python tkinter a Javascript like prompt?

Answer 1

One of those situations where I find it after the question has been posted and since I had trouble finding the answer I will keep the question up.

You can use a tkSimpleDialog.

Answer 2

Yes, use tkSimpleDialog.askstring. Unfortunately this isn't in the main Python docs, so it's a bit hard to find.
