Is there any way to type into a Tkinter frame window?

Maybe using a proper text/line edit widget?

I want to use raw_input() within a Tkinter frame.

The builtin raw_input is for console input only. Of course, one could
implement a raw_input using a Tkinter dialog to query input, but its way
more easier and comfortable to just write a real GUI application.

`raw_input(prom pt)` just calls `sys.stdout.wri te(prompt)` and returns
`sys.stdin.read line()`. So, you can just create file-like objects to
replace stdout and stdin that are aware of your Tkinter gui.
Alternatively, you could just replace __builtins__.ra w_input with your
own version.

Actual implementation left as an exercise for the user.

You could use the Tkinter.Entry option from dialog windows...

It does more like providing readline support, if readline is loaded.

import sys
import Tkinter
import cStringIO

class GUIInputMgr(Tki nter.Entry):

def __init__(self, parent):
Tkinter.Entry._ _init__(self, parent)

sys.stdin = cStringIO.Strin gIO()
self.bind("<Key >", self.__UpdateBu ffer)

def __UpdateBuffer( self, event):
sys.stdin.trunc ate(0)
sys.stdin.write (self.get())


entry = GUIInputMgr(top ) # top is your Tk() instance
entry.pack()

raw_input() # should now get you user input :)
