I'm making a program to generate an encrypted qr from the message and password provided, but it keeps on returning the same error.

I tried passing the value to other variables

main.py

from tkinter import *
import cryptroot=Tk()
root.title("QR Crypt")
root.geometry("800x600+0+0")heading = Label(root, text="QR Code Encrypt", font=("arial",54,"bold"), fg="steelblue").pack()
label1 = Label(root, text="MESSAGE: ", font=("arial",24,"bold"), fg="black").place(x=10,y=200)
label2 = Label(root, text="PASSWORD: ", font=("arial",24,"bold"), fg="black").place(x=10,y=300)
message = StringVar()
entry_box = Entry(root, textvariable=message, width=80, bg="lightgreen").place(x=280, y=210)
passwd = StringVar()
entry_box = Entry(root, textvariable=passwd, width=30, bg="lightgreen").place(x=280, y=310)def generate_qr():crypt.crypt_f(passwd,message)canvas = Canvas(root, width = 300, height = 300)canvas.pack()img = PhotoImage(file="myqr.svg")canvas.create_image(20,20, anchor=NW, image=img)work = Button(root, text="Generate", width=30, height=5, bg="lightblue", command=generate_qr).place(x=250,y= 400)mainloop()

)key = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(kdf.derive(password))f = Fernet(key)encrypted = f.encrypt(message_rcvd)qrcode.qr_ready(encrypted)

qrcode.py

from pyqrcode import *def qr_ready(qr_rcvd):toqr=qr_rcvdqrcode = create(toqr)qrcode.svg("myqr.svg",scale=10)

I expect it to return the QR code in another canvas but it is returning the error:

AttributeError: 'StringVar' object has no attribute 'encode'

StringVar is a custom class, not string. Use get method to retrieve its value as string, like:

crypt.crypt_f(passwd.get(), message.get())
