How to Convert Int to IntVar in Python Tkinter Module using SQLite/Pandas

Question

So i'm building a project macro tracker using Python Gui Tkinter module. I'm now trying to extra data from an SQLite database. The data extracted is type Int and I need to convert this to an IntVar so that I can use it as a textvariable in Tkinter's Label. The Label(textvariable=) method required it be an IntVar in this case.

So just to summarize I need to convert an Int variable to an IntVar variable

Any help would be great,

def display_daily_macros():

    daily = sqlite3.connect('daily.db')
    data = pandas.read_sql_query("Select * from day", daily)
    data_time = data[data['sqltime'] == "2020-09-11"]
    all_info = data_time.sum()
    protein = all_info['Protein']
    print(type(protein))

Answer 1

You could do something like this,

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

protien = '3' #this could be your value from the database
h = IntVar(value=protien) #declaring an IntVar and setting it to protien

e = Entry(root,textvariable=h) #assigning it to the entry widget
e.pack()

root.mainloop()

Here your defining an IntVar() and then later using the set() method to make it protien .

Hope this is what your looking for.
