Hi all,

I'm a beginner in programming with PY and started to build an GUI. Got stuck with retrieving the value of the Entry. While running the GUI the choosen location in the combobox return the values of the Entry fields. The next step is read the values to use it to calculate the directions in another PY file. For debugging i want to print the values of the Entries to determine if i get the right values. What do I wrong?

The error i get is

Error:
NONE

(untested) I think instead of print(straat_eind) it should be print(straat2.get())

If you change your print line to

print(straat2.get())

you will get the Straat2, which is already known.

I am guessing you are trying to have a distance calculator to determine the distance between the 2 location addresses selected?
If this is true then you need a database with the distance information so you can query and populate your widget with that data otherwise you are only calling the data that you already have assigned to the widget, straat2.

No actual KM data is available to calculate the distance of travel between a users 2 city locations.
