Mouse Position Python Tkinter

Question

Is there a way to get the position of the mouse and set it as a var?

Answer 1

You could set up a callback to react to <Motion> events:

import Tkinter as tk root = tk.Tk()  def motion(event):     x, y = event.x, event.y     print('{}, {}'.format(x, y))  root.bind('<Motion>', motion) root.mainloop() 

I'm not sure what kind of variable you want. Above, I set local variables x and y to the mouse coordinates.

If you make motion a class method, then you could set instance attributes self.x and self.y to the mouse coordinates, which could then be accessible from other class methods.
