AutoCapitalize Tkinter Entry text input

Is there a relatively easy way to automatically capitalize a Tkinter Entry's text input in realtime? So as a user is inputting values, they automatically get capitalized. Thanks!

You can bind to an event instead of using .trace() (in python 3.x, not tested in 2.x).

For details see my answer to this similar question: python - Converting entry() values to upper case

Yes, it can be easily accomplished with trace and str.capitalize:

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
var = StringVar()
entry = Entry(root, textvariable=var)
entry.pack(padx=20, pady=20)

def autocapitalize(*arg):
    var.set(var.get().capitalize())

var.trace("w", autocapitalize)
root.mainloop()
