I am writing a small program using Tkinter that needs to process two separate data entries. I am using two entry widgets and focus the cursor on the first entry at the start of the program.

What I need, is a way to shift the focus to the second entry after the user has completed the first data entry and pressed the enter key.

Any help?

No idea with Tkinter

. In PyQt you'd just connect the text edit's returnPressed() signal with the other text edit's focus() signal - connect(textedit1, SIGNAL("returnPressed()"), textedit2, SLOT("focus()"))
Look for a way to catch an "enter pressed event" and get a callback for it. Then set the focus.
