I am trying to make a GUI where the quantity of tkinter entries is decided by the user.

My Code:

from tkinter import*root = Tk()def createEntries(quantity):for num in range(quantity):usrInput = Entry(root, text = num)usrInput.pack()createEntries(10)root.mainloop()

This code is based on this tutorial i found:

for num in range(10):btn = tkinter.button(window, text=num)btn.pack(side=tkinter.LEFT)

The problem is that I can only access the input in the latest created widget, because they all have the same name. Is there a way of dynamically creating widgets with unique names?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

The solution is to store the widgets in a data structure such as a list or dictionary. For example:

entries = []
for num in range(quantity):usrInput = Entry(root, text = num)usrInput.pack()entries.append(usrInput)

Later, you can iterate over this list to get the values:

for entry in entries:value = entry.get()print("value: {}".format(value))

And, of course, you can access specific entries by number:

print("first item: {}".format(entries[0].get()))
