Tkinter message box


If this belongs on another list, please let me know. I am using PYTHON 3
and tkinter. I have been playing around with messagebox. Is there any
way I can display the value of a variable inside a message box?

Thank you,
Ken

Of course. tkinter doesn't care where the values come from, you can use 
a variable just as easily as a static string literal.

Using Python 3.2:

>>> import tkinter.messagebox
>>> import time
>>> title = "a trivial example".title()
>>> message = "It is now %s, do you know where your computer is?" % time.asctime()
>>> tkinter.messagebox.showinfo(title, message)
'ok'

If that's not the sort of thing you mean, please show us what code you 
are using.

Yes, just insert it intro the message string prior to displaying the 
messagebox:

import tkMessageBox
num = 6
tkMessageBox.showinfo("Village News", "Message for number %d" % num)
