How to change a text variable to a number variable. Tkinter, Python 2.7

Question

I need help with changing "textvariable" to a int var. Here is my code:

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

strfname = IntVar()

strlname = IntVar()

labelf = Label(root, text = 'number').pack()
fname = Entry(root, justify='left', textvariable = strfname).pack() 

labell = Label(root, text = 'number 2').pack()
lname = Entry(root, justify='left', textvariable = strlname).pack()

root.mainloop()

Thanks!

use .get

number_variable = strfname.get()
