How to Get Value Out from the Tkinter Slider ("Scale")?

Question

So, here is the code I have, and as I run it, the value of the slider bar appears above the slider, I wonder is there a way to get that value out? Maybe let a=that value. ;)

from Tkinter import *

control = Tk()
control.geometry("350x200+100+50")

scale = Scale(control,orient=HORIZONTAL,length=300,width=20,sliderlength=10,from_=0,to=1000,tickinterval=100)
scale.pack()

control.mainloop()

Answer 1

To get the value as it is modified, associate a function with the parameter command. This function will receive the current value, so you just work with it. Also note that in your code you have cline3 = Scale(...).pack(). cline3 is always None in this case, since that is what pack() returns.

import Tkinter

def print_value(val):
    print val

root = Tkinter.Tk()

scale = Tkinter.Scale(orient='horizontal', from_=0, to=128, command=print_value)
scale.pack()

root.mainloop()
