You need to do two things: store the link to the widget and then use a method get()

to get the string.

Here's an example:

self.entry = Entry(...)
...
print("the text is", self.entry.get())

Here's an example:

import tkinter as tk

class SampleApp(tk.Tk):

    def __init__(self):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self)
        self.entry = tk.Entry(self)
        self.button = tk.Button(self, text="Get", command=self.on_button)
        self.button.pack()
        self.entry.pack()

    def on_button(self):
        print(self.entry.get())

w = SampleApp()
w.mainloop()

First, declare a variable of the required type. For example, an integer:

var = IntVar ()

Then:

entry = Entry (root, textvariable = var )

entry.pack ()

user_input = var.get ()

root.mainloop ()

Hope it helps.
