How do I populate the entry widget when I press the Browse button in tkinter?

Question

I have the following code which serves the purpose of opening a GUI which would allow me to browse a file from a specified path, then after clicking the submit button, the web page gets populated online from an xlsx file and the output of the web page is again stored in an output xlsx file. My code does all the objectives. But there is an issue- I have a browse button beside the edit widget which allows me to browse through the file path to fetch the input file in my GUI. Now the moment I press the browse button, although it fetches the file but it puts the file path beside the browse button like this: enter image description here

The code is this:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox as msg
from tkinter import filedialog as fd
from tkinter import ttk

class GUI: 
    
    def __init__(self,master):
    
    
        master.title("Webscraper")
    
        self.LabelFrame=ttk.Labelframe(master)
        self.LabelFrame.grid(row=0,column=3)
    
    self.ip_word  = Label(master,text="File Path")
    self.ip_word.grid(row=0,sticky=E) 
    
    self.path_field = Entry(master)
    self.path_field.grid(row=0,column=1,sticky=W)
    
    self.browse_file=Button(master,text="Browse",command=self.file_found)
    self.browse_file.grid(row=0,column=2,sticky=E)
    #self.path_field=self.path_browse.get()
    
    self.filename_word=Label(master,text="Output Filename ")
    self.filename_word.grid(row=4,sticky=E)
    
    self.filename =Entry(master)
    self.filename.grid(row=4,column=1,sticky=W)
    
    self.Submit = Button(master,text="Submit",fg="black",bg="white",command=self.printMessage )
    self.Submit.grid(row=5,column=1)
    
    self.quit_button=Button(master,text="Quit",command= master.destroy)
    self.quit_button.grid(row=5,column=2)
    
def file_found(self):
    
    self.path_browse=fd.askopenfilename(initialdir="/",title="Select A file",filetype=(("Excel Workbook","*.xlsx"),("All Files","*.*")))
    self.label=ttk.Label(self.LabelFrame,text="")
    self.label.grid(row=1,column=1)
    self.label.configure(text=self.path_browse)
    self.path_field.bind("<Return>",self.path_browse)
    
    
def printMessage(self):
    
    str1=self.path_field.get()
    str2=self.filename.get()
    self.Scraper(str1,str2)

The part of the code :

self.browse_file=Button(master,text="Browse",command=self.file_found)
self.browse_file.grid(row=0,column=2,sticky=E)

calls the file_found() which browses through the path to get the file but this does not populate the

 self.path_field = Entry(master)
 self.path_field.grid(row=0,column=1,sticky=W)

where the self.path_field is the entry widget that should be populated by the file path obtained by the browse button.

Answer 1

Well; as I understand it you want the file path in the entry and not in a separate Label. But in your code you put it in a separate label and not in the entry...

Here is an example of how to put the path in the entry:

def file_found(self):
    self.path_browse=fd.askopenfilename(initialdir="/",title="Select A file",
        filetype=(("Excel Workbook","*.xlsx"),("All Files","*.*")))
    self.path_field.delete(0,END)    # Remove any previous content
    self.path_field.insert(0,self.path_browse)  # Insert new content

I'm not really clear about what you seek to accomplish with the line:

self.path_field.bind("<Return>",self.path_browse)

It binds a Return in the path_field entry to a variable...
