Python tkinter : Input text box displaying as a number

Question

This is a part of my ordering program school project. Every time I input something into the entry widget, a random number is dispalyed

import tkinter
def doneEditing(e1):
    print(e1)

root = tkinter.Tk()
root.minsize(width=800, height=428)
root.maxsize(width=800, height=428)


itemAdded = tkinter.Canvas(root, width = 400, height = 300)
itemAdded.pack()


e1 = tkinter.Entry(root)

itemAdded.create_window(200, 140, window=e1)

done = tkinter.Button(root, text = 'ENTER', command=lambda: doneEditing(e1))
done.place(x=80, y=90 ,width=120 ,height=26, anchor = 's')


root.mainloop()

output = .60223280

Answer 1

You should change doneEditing into :

def doneEditing(e1):
    print(e1.get())

In order to get value inside entry box, you need to use get() method.
