#97955 — how to use variable outside function tkinter entry

Hi guys,
suppose i have a tkinter Entry widget (Python 3.4 Tkinter 8.5)
mySalary = Entry(root, textvariable='salary', command=calculate')

I have defined
salary = IntVar()

and a function:
def calculate():
    wages = salary.get()
    ....
    return


How can i use the variable wages outside the function calculate?
For example: print(wages) or print (w=calculate()) when I add return wages) 
does not work.
I want to use the variable wages somewhere else in the programm.
I get weird errors like get() misses argument self

Who can help me?
Harry

Huh?  "print (w=calculate())" ?  What language is this, anyway?

Try

  w = calculate()
  print(w)

and if it doesn't work, report the exact output here.

To email me, substitute nowhere->runbox, invalid->com.

Are you wanting 'return wages'? You 
need to tell calculate() what is to 
return.
