Which widget do you use for a Excel like table in tkinter?

Question

I want a Excel like table widget in tkinter for a gui I am writing. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer 1

You can use Tkinter like so to make a simple spreadsheet like gui:

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

height = 5
width = 5
for i in range(height): #Rows
    for j in range(width): #Columns
        b = Entry(root, text="")
        b.grid(row=i, column=j)

mainloop()

Edit: If you wanted to get the values from the grid, you have to use the grid's children.

def find_in_grid(frame, row, column):
    for children in frame.children.values():
        info = children.grid_info()
        #note that rows and column numbers are stored as string                                                                         
        if info['row'] == str(row) and info['column'] == str(column):
            return children
    return None

Where you can call the function and it will return the child. To get the value of the entry, you can use:

find_in_grid(root, i+1, j).get()
