Python tkInter Entry fun

Question

Playing around with Python - tkInter - Entry widget - when I use validatecommand (below), the check happens the first time the string > Max, but when I continue to enter tex

Answer 1

From the Tk man:

The validate option will also set itself to none when you edit the entry widget from within either the validateCommand or the invalidCommand. Such editions will override the one that was being validated. If you wish to edit the entry widget (for example set it to {}) during validation and still have the validate option set, you should include the command

after idle {%W config -validate %v}

don't know how to translate that to python.
