Creating several tkinter widgets in a for loop and assigning them to variables
The line curRad = 'rad' + str(col) accomplishes absolutely nothing, since the variable gets reassigned on the next line.
The code does not give you any lasting reference to the individual radio buttons - but you don't normally need one: determining which one is selected, or programmatically selecting one, is done via the variable (radVar) that they all share.
If you really wanted to keep a reference to each button, you could put:
allRads = []above the loop, and:
allRads.append(curRad)inside the loop.
I really like your solution, jason. You can reference later the buttons through the indexes of the list generated.
You can also create the buttons as follow
for col in range(3): globals()["curRad" + str(col)] = tk.Radiobutton(win, text=colors[col], variable=radVar, value=col, command=radCall)So the name of the variables associated to each button will be different, in this case:
curRad0
curRad1
curRad2
