I am trying to get input through tkinter text widget. I saw posts about tkinter text widget input. But those didn't work for me. I saw post on and tried that but I couldn't understand what is wrong with it. Here is my code. 

`corpusinput = Text(rooter, width=50, height=10)
 corpustext = corpusinput.get("1.0", "end-1c")
 corpusinput.grid(row=2, column=1, sticky='nsew')
 print(corpustext)`

This prints a blank space/line without any character.

You're calling the .get() method on the widget just after you've created it. At this point the widget is blank, so .get() will return''.

You need to setup a way of calling .get() whilst the program is running, eg. a button

corpusinput = Text(rooter, width=50, height=10)
corpusinput.grid()

get_input = Button(rooter, text='Print', command= lambda x=corpusinput.get() : print(x))
get_input.grid()
