How to mass produce entry box widgets in Tkinter? - python-2.7

Question

I would like to turn the following 4 lines of code into 1 line by calling a function or class. This way, i can just call the function for each entry box widget i want to create:
self.systest = StringVar()
self.systest.set("N/A")
self.e = Entry(self.frame1, textvariable=self.systest)
self.e.grid(row=6, column=1)
here is the function i am trying to create (doesn't actually work):
def entry_boxes(self, row, col, default, var, frame):
setattr(self, var, StringVar)
setattr(self, var, default)
e = Entry(frame, textvariable=var)
e.grid(row=row, column=col)
calling it:
entry_boxes(self,6,1,'N/A','self.systest',self.frame1)
This will be part of a class, so i need the variables to be callable from anywhere in it.

Answer 1

Are you trying something like this?
from Tkinter import StringVar,Entry,Tk
class UIclass():
def __init__(self,root):
#define self.frame1
self.myfunc()
def myfunc(self):
self.entry_boxes(6,1,'N/A','self.systest',self.frame1)
self.entry_boxes(6,2,'N/A','self.systest',self.frame1)
...
...
...
def entry_boxes(self, row, col, default, var, frame):
setattr(self, var, StringVar)
setattr(self, var, default)
e = Entry(frame, textvariable=var)
e.grid(row=row, column=col)
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = Tk()
UIclass(root)
root.mainloop()
If not,kindly do tell me so that I can delete this answer
