tkinter entry

The tkinter entry box lets you input text in your desktop software. Usually an entry box (input field) comes with a label, that’s because without labels its not clear what the user should type there.

You can add more than one input field. The input field can show latin character but also other types of input (like passwords)

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
 
from tkinter import *
 
top = Tk()
L1 = Label(top, text="Label")
L1.pack(side=LEFT)
E1 = Entry(top, bd=5)
E1.pack(side=RIGHT)
 
top.mainloop()

tkinter entry password

The tkinter entry can be plain text but it also supports password input. By changing the parameter show, you can make it look like anything you want.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
 
import tkinter as tk
 
window = tk.Tk()
window.title('My Window')
window.geometry('500x300') 
 
e1 = tk.Entry(window, show=None, font=('Arial', 14))  
e2 = tk.Entry(window, show='*', font=('Arial', 14))
