the "text" (or "textvariable") option to the Entry widget is the name of 
the Tcl variable that should hold the result.

to get something that's a bit more usable from Python, use a StringVar 
instance instead.  alternatively, use the "get" method to fetch text 
from the widget, and the "insert" method to add text to it.
