tkinter entry fill with value selected from dictionary

I need to fill entry boxes with values selected from dictionary.
List of dictionaries is compiled from a csv file. Here is the code:

record.append(line)

password = ent_pw.get()
city = ent_city.get()
code = ent_code.get()
if len(name) != 0 and len(password) != 0 and len(city) != 0 and len(code) != 0:
with open('c.record.csv', 'a') as add:
w = csv.writer(add)
w.writerow([name,password,city,code])
add.close
lbl_result["text"] = "record saved"
else:
lbl_result["text"] = "values cannot be empty"
return True

csv structure:

I am concerned with the def display() : and def select(): functions. These works in displaying and selecting. The problem is when ‘select’ is pressed the latest dictionary value form the list is used to fill the entries boxes, I would like the entries to be filled with the values that correspond to the user display in the line.

I have found the solution.
I have adjust the code with the guidance found here:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/looping-through-buttons-in-tkinter/
def select(u,pwd,cy,co):
Clear()
ent_user.insert(tk.END,u)
ent_pw.insert(tk.END,pwd)
ent_city.insert(tk.END,cy)
ent_code.insert(tk.END,co)
def display() :
lbl_result["text"] = show()
record = show()
for n, line in enumerate(record):
position = n
user = line['name']
for k,v in line.items():
def action(x = line['name'], p = line['password'], c = line['city'], d = line['code']):
return select(x,p,c,d)
lbl_record = tk.Label(master=frm_details, height=1, width=40, bg = 'white', relief=tk.GROOVE, text=user,justify="right")
lbl_record.grid(row=1+position, column=0, padx=5)
btn_recSelect = tk.Button(master=frm_details ,width=5, bg = 'white', text='select',command= action)
btn_recSelect.grid(row=1+position, column=1, padx=2,sticky=tk.W)
return True
I had to create an aditional function to point to action the entry update and add an addidional for looop, the first loop through the list, the second through the dictionary items.

How to Make Plot Show up?

So I am trying to create this function to make a plot of a mass spring damper system and we should be able to basically change whatever we like, the values for the function and the sliders should affect the plot as well, i'm having trouble trying to get my function plotted. The error is coming within the function where I am trying to use my solveMBK function inside my PlotWindow function, I am not sure how to include the values from my sliders as well as the other values that are inputted in the start up window.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

You're passing funcPlot as the command for Scale to call:
mscale = tk.Scale(root1, ..., command=funcPlot)
According to the documentation, command is:
A procedure to be called every time the slider is moved. This
procedure will be passed one argument, the new scale value.
But instead of taking one argument, your funcPlot() function requires six arguments:
def funcPlot(input_list, mscale, bscale, kscale, a, canvas, event=None):
Which leads to the error:
TypeError: funcPlot() missing 5 required positional arguments: 'mscale', 'bscale', 'kscale', 'a', and 'canvas'
You need to rethink how this is supposed to work. Below is my rework of your code. I got around the problem above by using global variables -- I'm not proud of that. I also had to rework the way your plot gets embedded in Tk as what you had wasn't working:
import tkinter as tk

t = np.arange(0, tf, dt)
z0 = np.zeros_like(t)
z1 = np.zeros_like(t)
z0[0] = x0
z1[0] = dx0
for c in range(len(t) - 1):
z0[c + 1] = z0[c] + z1[c] * dt
z1[c + 1] = z1[c] + ((ABradiobutton(Z, t[c]) - k * z0[c] - b * z1[c]) / m)
return t, z0

Using StringVar data as a list

I've been following this website for a while. It is really helpful. So, thanks for all the useful tips.
I've been searching for this answer for the past two weeks without any success, so now I'm compelled to ask out of total frustration with my current obstacle.
How do you use StringVar as a list?
Basically, I was coding the following program for my wife. The code is pretty messy as it is my first program I've tried to code.
The idea was that I would take 3 variables; password, secret number and website and then do some work on them using if statements and lists to create a unique password.
First problem was that I couldn't restrict the character length of the entry widgets but in the end i solved that but i still want to limit the characters that can be input.
for instance in the website entry box, i want to allow only letters.
If I could convert StringVar to a list, I could do some work with messy if statements to allow only certain characters in each index but everythime i try it says that stringvars cant be used as a list.
I need them as a list to limit the type of characters that can be entered and also so that i can do work on the variables to get the final output.

# add functionality, fix validation

To restrict the type/number of characters that can be typed into an entry widget, you can use the entry validatecommand. Here is an example to allow only letters and another one to restrict the entry to 4 digits:
from tkinter import Tk, Entry, Label
def only_letters(action, char):
if action == "1":
# a character is inserted (deletion is 0) allow the insertion
# only if the inserted character char is a letter
return char.isalpha()
else:
# allow deletion
return True
def only_numbers_max_4(action, new_text):
if action == "1":
return new_text.isdigit() and len(new_text) <= 4
else:
return True
root = Tk()
# register validate commands
validate_letter = root.register(only_letters)
validate_nb = root.register(only_numbers_max_4)
Label(root, text="Only letters: ").grid(row=0, column=0)
e1 = Entry(root, validate="key", validatecommand=(validate_letter, '%d', '%S'))
# %d is the action code and %S the inserted/deleted character
e1.grid(row=0, column=1)
Label(root, text="Only numbers, at most 4: ").grid(row=1, column=0)
e2 = Entry(root, validate="key", validatecommand=(validate_nb, '%d', '%P'))
# %P is the new content of the entry after the modification
e2.grid(row=1, column=1)
root.mainloop()

Custom Tkinter Menu Placement

I've been making a game in tkinter to practice my coding skills for future projects however I've come across a stumbling block. I've been reading up on the Tkinter menus and I can't seem to find a way to place them anywhere other than the top of the window. What I am trying to do is to make a drop down selection box that allows you to pick an option and perform a command based on that option but I want it to be placed beside a label in the grid position column=2 row=2. I would like to know if this is possible or not and if not what is another way to do a similar thing.

I have now included my whole code with the exception of commenting out my unworking menu code.

You would need an option menu or a ComboBox. They are menus but on the page not at the top of the screen.
Here is the code to add options to the OptionMenu:
from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
def change(value):
options.append("YOUR_OPTION_HERE")
menu=drop["menu"]
menu.delete("0", END)
for string in options:
menu.add_command(label=string, command=lambda value=string: var.set(value))
options=["hello", "goodbye", "welcome"]
var=StringVar()
drop=OptionMenu(root, var, *options, command=change)
drop.config(width=15)
drop.pack()
root.mainloop()
