#106290 — tkinter Entry validation modes

A typical call to create an Entry field would be:-

e = Entry(master, validate='all', ...)

Once this call has been made is it possible to change the validation 
mode at runtime?  Background, I'm knocking up an app so I can play with 
the various modes so that I can see how they work, as I'm just venturing 
into the tkinter world.

This is off the top of my head and I have not tested it.
Since validate is a config option this might do it:

e.config(validate='focus')
