So I'm making a program which requires a user to enter in a value. I want the value to be displayed via the message widget (or label widget) and updates whenever a new input is enter.
def Enter():
    s = v.get()
    print (v.get())
    e.delete(0, END)
    e.insert(0, "")
#Code, Code, Code
...
# Area To Enter Text
v = StringVar()
e = Entry(root, textvariable=v)
e.pack()
m = Message(root, text = "Your Input")
m.pack()
# Enter Button
b = Button(root, text="OK", command=Enter)
b.pack()
Is there a way for the variable of v to replace the text of Message Widget??
Note:
If I replace text with textvariable, it updates the text after every character key is pressed, where as I need it to update when the user presses the button.
My complete code:
from tkinter import *
import os
# All Functions Below
def callback():
    print ("HI")
def Exit():
    os._exit(0)
def Enter():
    s = e.get()
    print (e.get())
    m.configure(text=s)
    e.delete(0, END)
    e.insert(0, "")
def Population():
    root = Tk
    root.mainloop()
def SurvivalRate():
    root = Tk
    root.mainloop()
def BirthRate():
    root = Tk
    root.mainloop()
def NewGen():
    root = Tk
    root.mainloop()
root = Tk()
generation = 0
menubar = Menu(root)
menubar.add_command(label="Hello!", command=callback)
menubar.add_command(label="Quit!", command=Exit)
# Area To Enter Text
e = Entry(root)
e.pack()
m = Message(root, text = e)
m.pack()
# Enter Button
b = Button(root, text="OK", command=Enter)
b.pack()
Pop = Button(root, text="Population", command=Population)
Pop.pack()
                Simply add:
m.configure(text=s) 
to your function:
def Enter():
    s = v.get()
    print (v.get())
    m.configure(text=s)
    e.delete(0, END)
    e.insert(0, "")
As a side- note, you do not necessarily need the StringVar(). The code below will do exactly the same:
def Enter():
    s = e.get()
    m.configure(text=s)
    e.delete(0, END)
    e.insert(0, "")
#Code, Code, Code
...
# Area To Enter Text
e = Entry(root)
e.pack()
m = Message(root, text = "Your Input")
m.pack()
# Enter Button
b = Button(root, text="OK", command=Enter)
b.pack()
root.mainloop()
