Python 3.x - using text string as variable name

Question

I\'m trying to avoid to multiply functions in code by using

def Return_Label(self,number)  

with a parameter.

Any Idea how to use st

I prefer a list approach to managing multiple entry fields and updating values. By using list you can use the index value to manage the labels as well :D.

See the below example of how you can use list to deal with all the values and updates.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *

class Window(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.minsize(200, 200)
        self.entry_list = []
        self.label_list = []
        entry_count = 2

        for i in range(entry_count):
            self.entry_list.append(Entry(self))
            self.entry_list[i].pack()

        for i in range(entry_count):
            self.label_list.append(Label(self,bg='yellow'))
            self.label_list[i].pack(expand='yes', fill='x')

        Button(self, text='SETUP', command=self.Return_Label).pack()

    def Return_Label(self):
        for ndex, lbl in enumerate(self.label_list):
            lbl.config(text=self.entry_list[ndex].get())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    Window().mainloop()
