How to Add up multiple entry in Tkinter

I work on a program that calculates the macros of each meal. You can enter a value in gram and it calculates for each aliment your intake. I would like now to add these values together when I push multiple buttons. Then I'll display the value somewhere and maybe I could do a graph after.
Here I show what my program looks like :
import tkinter as tk
def value_kiwi():
value = ent_quantity.get()
formula = (float(value)/100)
cal = 53
pro = 1.6
glu = 11.1
li = 0.3
Calories = (cal) * formula
Protéines = (pro) * formula
Glucides = (glu) * formula
Lipides = (li) * formula
lbl_cal["text"] =f"{Calories}"
lbl_prot["text"] = f"{Protéines}"
lbl_glu["text"] = f"{Glucides}"
lbl_lip["text"] = f"{Lipides}"
def value_banane():
value = ent_quantity.get()
formula = (float(value)/100)
cal = 90
pro = 1.5
glu = 20.1
li = 0
Calories = (cal) * formula
Protéines = (pro) * formula
Glucides = (glu) * formula
Lipides = (li) * formula
lbl_cal["text"] =f"{Calories}"
lbl_prot["text"] = f"{Protéines}"
lbl_glu["text"] = f"{Glucides}"
lbl_lip["text"] = f"{Lipides}"
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Calculateur de Calories et Nutriments")
frm_entry = tk.Frame(master=window)
ent_quantity = tk.Entry(master=frm_entry, width=5)
ent_quantity.grid(row=1, column=0,)
lbl_cal = tk.Label(master=window)
lbl_cal.grid(row=1, column=1,)
lbl_prot = tk.Label(master=window)
lbl_prot.grid(row=1, column=2)
lbl_glu = tk.Label(master=window)
lbl_glu.grid(row=1, column=3)
lbl_lip = tk.Label(master=window)
lbl_lip.grid(row=1, column=4)
btn_kiwi = tk.Button(
master=window,
text="Kiwi",
command=value_kiwi,
)
btn_banane = tk.Button(
master=window,
text="Banane",
command=value_banane,
)
lbl_calories = tk.Label(master=window, text="Calories",)
lbl_proteines = tk.Label(master=window, text="Protéines")
lbl_glucides = tk.Label(master=window, text="Glucides")
lbl_lipides = tk.Label(master=window, text="Lipides")
lbl_fruits = tk.Label(master=window, text="Fruits")
frm_entry.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=10)
lbl_calories.grid(row=0,column=1, padx=5, sticky="w")
lbl_proteines.grid(row=0, column=2, padx=10)
lbl_glucides.grid(row=0, column=3, padx=10)
lbl_lipides.grid(row=0,column =4, padx=10)
lbl_fruits.grid(row=1,column =5, padx=10)
btn_kiwi.grid(row=2, column=5, pady=10)
btn_banane.grid(row=3, column=5, pady=10)
window.mainloop()

Ok, I think I improved Your code:
from tkinter import Tk, Button, Entry, Label
class MainWindow(Tk):
def __init__(self):
Tk.__init__(self)
self.title('Nutrient calculator')

self.amount.grid(row=1, column=0)

self.calories = Label(self)
self.calories.grid(row=1, column=1)
# proteins
Label(self, text='Proteins').grid(row=0, column=2)
self.proteins = Label(self)
self.proteins.grid(row=1, column=2)
# glucose
Label(self, text='Glucose').grid(row=0, column=3)
self.glucose = Label(self)
self.glucose.grid(row=1, column=3)

# error label for if no value is entered or it cannot be converted

# stuff for adding multiple foods
self.do_add = False
self.nutrient_list = []
self.plus_btn = Button(self, text='Add', command=self.add)
self.plus_btn.grid(row=3, column=0, columnspan=4, sticky='nwes')
def display_values(self, value_list):
self.nutrient_list.append(value_list)
if len(self.nutrient_list) == 2 and not self.do_add:
self.nutrient_list.pop(0)
elif len(self.nutrient_list) > 2 and not self.do_add:
self.nutrient_list = [self.nutrient_list[-1]]
print(self.nutrient_list)
if self.do_add:
value_list = []
for i in range(len(self.nutrient_list[0])):
total_value = 0
for item in self.nutrient_list:
total_value += item[i]
value_list.append(total_value)
for text, label in zip(value_list, self.data_labels):
label.config(text=f'{text:.2f}')
self.do_add = False
def handle_value_error(self):
self.error_label.grid(row=2, column=0, columnspan=4)
def add(self):
self.do_add = True
self.amount.delete(0, 'end')
class Values:
def __init__(self, name, row, column, calories, proteins, glucose, lipids):
self.parent = root
self.name = name
self.row = row
self.column = column
self.calories = calories
self.proteins = proteins
self.glucose = glucose
self.lipids = lipids
self.stuff_list = [self.calories, self.proteins, self.glucose, self.lipids]
self.button = Button(self.parent, text=self.name, command=self.set_values)
self.button.grid(row=self.row, column=self.column, sticky='nwse')
def set_values(self):
value_list = []
value_ = self.parent.amount.get()
try:
formula = float(value_) / 100
self.parent.error_label.grid_forget()
for item in self.stuff_list:
item *= formula
value_list.append(item)
self.parent.display_values(value_list)
except ValueError:
self.parent.handle_value_error()
root = MainWindow()
kiwi = Values('Kiwi', 2, 4, calories=53, proteins=1.6, glucose=11.1, lipids=0.3)
banana = Values('Banana', 3, 4, calories=90, proteins=1.5, glucose=20.1, lipids=0)
root.mainloop()
it is not necessarily better however a few benefits from using this code are:
better organization (IMO) since it uses classes which make it pretty neat (however You have to have an understanding over them)
takes less space - what I mean is that now, to define a new food, You just have to initiate the Values class and give it the necessary arguments. You can take an example from the given instances.
possibly easier to expand (both because better organization and takes less space)
I edited the code so now it should have that functionality, the way it works is You choose an amount , then fruit and if You want to add more, press add button, then choose amount, press food and it will display the total so far, then again, if You want to add more press add and then put in an amount and press the fruit, currently the way to 'clear' is to press any food button and it should then reset the whole list and keep only the one that was just pressed and then repeat.

Python entry to store input into a variable stores nothing, returns initial value

Ok, so basic story. I have created an entry. After you introduce text, you have to click a button to store the inputted text into a variable that is later printed.
Here is the code:
from Tkinter import *
def myClick(entry_name, var):#defines function to get input from entry and store into var
var = entry_name.get()
root = Tk()#creates initial tk
lbl1 = Label(root, text = "hello")#before entry label
lbl1.grid(row = 0, column = 0)#label griding
ent = Entry(root, width = 15)# the entry
ent.grid(row = 1, column = 0)#entry gridding
hello = None #variable to store entry input
bt1 = Button(root, command = myClick(ent, hello))#button 1 creation and function attribution
bt1.grid(row = 3, column = 0)#button 1 griding
root.mainloop()
print(hello)
It is very unclear to me why the function does not get the input from the entry.

bt1 = Button(root, command = myClick(ent, hello))
In this line, you call myClick function with parameters, not just pass it. That means that myClick is executed once after the module is launched and then it does nothing. If you want to print the entry input, I recommend you do the following:
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
lbl1 = Label(root, text="hello")
lbl1.grid(row=0, column=0)
ent = Entry(root, width=15)
ent.grid(row=1, column=0)
def myClick():
var = ent.get()
print(var)
bt1 = Button(root, command=myClick)
bt1.grid(row=3, column=0)
root.mainloop()
Also code after root.mainloop() doesn't excecute.

just define a normal function :
from tkinter import *
def blinta():
var = ent.get()
ent.delete(0,END)
print(var)
root = Tk()#creates initial tk
lbl1 = Label(root, text = "hello")#before entry label
lbl1.grid(row = 0, column = 0)#label griding
ent = Entry(root, width = 15)# the entry
ent.grid(row = 1, column = 0)#entry gridding
bt1 = Button(root, command = blinta)
bt1.grid(row = 3, column = 0)
root.mainloop()
This will work I'm sure.

Is it possible to grab a label variable and put into list with tkinter

I've created a temperature converter programme in which the calculated temperature from an entry widget gets displayed in a separate label, what I need to do is to grab that converted variable and put it into a list.
I think that making a connected entry widget to the label widget would work where they are connected so I could grab the variable using the .get method but that would look awfully messy. Is there any other way I could proceed with this?
This is my first post and I am a beginner in Python, very sorry if the code looks messy and if I included too much code.
data = []
tempVal = "Celcius"
def store_temp(sel_temp):
global tempVal
tempVal = sel_temp
class Calculator:
def __init__(self, num_a, num_b):
self.num_a= num_a
self.num_b = num_b
def convert(self):
if tempVal == 'Fahrenheit':
return float((float(self.num_a) - 32)* 5 / 9)
if tempVal == 'Celcius':
return float((float(self.num_a) * 9/ 5) + 32)
def display_add(entry_numa,entry_numb,label_answer):
#get the value from entry_numa
num_a = entry_numa.get()
num_b = entry_numb.get()
num_a = str(num_a)
num_b = str(num_b)
#create an object
global data
calc = Calculator(num_a,num_b)

A tk.Label displayed value can be accessed via the text property
, labelwidgetname['text'].
Depeneding on when and how you want the independent list of stored values
to be updated there are a variety of options. The example shows one if the
user is required to press a submission button. This could be adapted,
for example,when the tempreture calculation is performed.
Of course it would be simpler to update the list of stored values directly at the point in the script where the calculated tempreture for the label text has been derived.
import tkinter as tk
stored_values = []
def add_labelvalue_tolist(temp):
'''Store label value to list.'''
stored_values.append(temp)
print('contents of list', stored_values)
def add_entry_tolabel(event):
display_label['text'] = user_entry.get()
ROOT = tk.Tk()
user_entry = tk.Entry()
user_entry.grid(column=0, row=0)
user_entry.bind('<KeyRelease>', add_entry_tolabel)
display_label = tk.Label()
display_label.grid(column=1, row=0)
# update list via button command linked to label text value
add_button = \
tk.Button(text='add to list',
command=lambda:add_labelvalue_tolist(display_label['text']))
add_button.grid(column=0, row=1)
ROOT.mainloop()

try making a function that is like this
def letterused():
converter=(letter.get())# letter is a entry box at the bottom is the code
converted.set(converter)
for i in range(1):
used_letters1.append(converter) #list
letter = ttk.Entry(root, width = 20,textvariable = letter)
letter.pack()

Trying a date within Tkinter - Python

After testing out many times and reading Stackoverflow for several hours, I decided to right this question. My Text (part of the bigger code) is below:
import pandas as pd
import datetime as dt
from tkinter import *
import tkinter.filedialog
from tkinter import messagebox
def test_click():
global ipt_dt
global coef
global z
global w
z = item_prosp['Accrual_Start'].min()
w = item_prosp['Accrual_End'].max()
ipt_d = tkvar_d.get()
ipt_m = tkvar_m.get()
ipt_y = tkvar_y.get()
x = 0
while x == 0:
ipt = str(ipt_d + '/'+ ipt_m + '/' + ipt_y)
try:
ipt_dt = dt.datetime.strptime(ipt, "%d/%b/%Y")
if ipt_dt < z or ipt_dt > w:
messagebox.showinfo("Error", "The input date is outside scope date")
else:
print("Date ok")
x =+ 1
except:
messagebox.showerror("Error", "The input date is not valid")
ipt_d = 0
ipt_m = 0
ipt_y = 0
continue
And the tkinter section of the code that generate the inputs is:
#Question 1 - Evaluation date
label4 = Label(window, text='Please inform the valuation date :', bg='white').grid(row=13, column=0, columnspan=3, pady=2, sticky=W)
tkvar_d = StringVar(window)
tkvar_m = StringVar(window)
tkvar_y = StringVar(window)
choices_d = ['1', '2', '3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','11','12','13','14','15','16','17','18','19','20','21','22','23','24','25','26','27','28','29','30','31']
choices_m = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
choices_y = ['2018','2019', '2020', '2021','2022','2023','2024','2025','2026','2027','2028','2029','2030']
popupmenu_d = OptionMenu(window, tkvar_d, *choices_d)
popupmenu_m = OptionMenu(window, tkvar_m, *choices_m)
popupmenu_y = OptionMenu(window, tkvar_y, *choices_y)
label5 = Label(window, text='Day :', bg='white').grid(row=14, column=0, sticky=E+W)
popupmenu_d.grid(row=15, column=0, padx=2, sticky=E+W)
label6 = Label(window, text='Month :', bg='white').grid(row=14, column=1, sticky=E+W)
popupmenu_m.grid(row=15, column=1, padx=2, sticky=E+W)
label7 = Label(window, text='Year :', bg='white').grid(row=14, column=2, sticky=E+W)
popupmenu_y.grid(row=15, column=2, padx=2, sticky=E+W)
Button(window, text="Test Date", width=10, command=test_click).grid(row=15, column=3, padx=5, pady=10, sticky=W)
The sample value for W when the file is run is:
2018-04-18 00:00:00
and for Z is:
2018-04-18 00:00:00
My need is to import a file (externally built and already structured), read 2 values from it (variables Z and W in the code) and compare it with an input variable (ipt_dt) which is a date filled in by the user through 3 dropdown menus from tkinter.
The error is that the try is not going through the if statement and it never prints out if the input is outside the scope date. Everytime I enter a date smaller than the minimum date or higher than the maximum date it returns the showerror message eventhou it pritns the "Date ok".
Anyone has any idea on how to solve this or why my fi is being ignored?
Thanks!

I looked at your originally posted code and you load the Excel into a df with the load_click function. But you don't actually run the load_click function anywhere, so the dataframe isn't loaded and so z and w aren't filled.
If you change the click1() function as follows, then it should work (it did for me with some sample data).
def click1():
global a
a = tkinter.filedialog.askopenfilename(initialdir = "/",title = "Select file", filetypes = ( ("Excel file", "*.xlsx"), ("All files", "*.*") ) )
output1.insert(END, a)
global a1
a1 = output1.get()
load_click()
Or add a seperate 'load' button if you want (at the bottom of the #File1 part):
Button(window, text="Load", width=6, command=load_click).grid(row=4, column=3, padx=5, sticky=W)
You might also want to add another x = 1 in the if-statement. Otherwise the messagebox will keep popping up due to the while loop, making it impossible to correct the input date.
x = 0
while x == 0:
ipt = str(ipt_d + '/'+ ipt_m + '/' + ipt_y)
try:
ipt_dt = dt.datetime.strptime(ipt, "%d/%b/%Y")
print type(ipt_dt)
if (ipt_dt < z) or (ipt_dt > w):
messagebox.showinfo("Error", "The input date is outside scope date")
x = 1 # I've added this one
else:
print("Date ok")
x =+ 1
except:
messagebox.showerror("Error", "The input date is not valid")
ipt_d = 0
ipt_m = 0
ipt_y = 0
continue

tkinter create labels and entrys dynamically

I want to create a simple GUI where I can enter some values. A label before and at the and an button to start the script.
I was using something like this:
w = Label(master, text="weight:")
w.grid(sticky=E)
w = Label(root, text="bodyfathydrationmuscle:bones")
w.grid(sticky=E)
w = Label(root, text="hydration:")
w.grid(sticky=E)
its ok but i want to do it dynamic. also when i would use w for all the entrys i only could cast w.get once. but i need all my data ;-)
i was thinking of:
def create_widgets(self):
L=["weight","bodyfat","hydration","muscle","bones"]
LV=[]
for index in range(len(L)):
print(index)
print(L[index])
("Entry"+L[index])= Entry(root)
("Entry"+L[index]).grid(sticky=E)
("Label"+L[index])=Label(root, text=L[index])
("Label"+L[index]).grid(row=index, column=1)
To call later:
var_weight=Entryweight.get()
var_bodyfat=Entrybodyfat.get()
and so on. how can i make it work?

Your program suggests that Entrybodyfat and the other variables should be generated on the fly, but you don't want to do that.
The normal approach is to store the entries and labels in a list or a map:
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
names = ["weight", "bodyfat", "hydration", "muscle", "bones"]
entry = {}
label = {}
i = 0
for name in names:
e = Entry(root)
e.grid(sticky=E)
entry[name] = e
lb = Label(root, text=name)
lb.grid(row=i, column=1)
label[name] = lb
i += 1
def print_all_entries():
for name in names:
print entry[name].get()
b = Button(root, text="Print all", command=print_all_entries)
b.grid(sticky=S)
mainloop()
The value of the bodyfat entry is then entry["bodyfat"].get().
