Quoting http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/event-types.html
"""
Enter    
The user moved the mouse pointer into a visible part of a widget. (This is 
different than the enter key, which is a KeyPress event for a key whose name 
is actually 'return'.)
"""

So I think you want "<Return>", not "<Enter>".
