AttributeError: 'Entry' object has no attribute 'split'-CodePudding

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

root = Tk()
root.geometry("600x400")
root.resizable(False, False)


def nameLength(event):
    str(input)
    length = input.split()
    length1 = len(garums)

    myLabel = Label(root, text=length1.get()).pack( )

choice = ("Word count", "Delete symbol", "Change 1st word with last word")

options = StringVar()
options.set("Choose an option")

input = Entry(root)
input.pack()



menu = OptionMenu(root, options, *choice, command=nameLength)
menu.pack(pady=20)


root.mainloop()

When I run my code, I tend to get an error saying that AttributeError: 'Entry' object has no attribute 'split'

I've tried googling it and noone seems to have the same exact problem as I do. Would appreciate if someone would help or explain!

CodePudding user response：

input is an instance of an Entry object. Like the error says, it has no method split. Since it is an Entry object, it is not a string object. You must use methods to get strings into and out of Entry objects.

input_value = input.get()
length = input_value.split()
