canvas.create_text returns an integer. That is why you get the error int object is not subscriptable.

You can use the itemcget method to get the value of an attribute of an object on the canvas. The first argument is a tag, or the id returned from one of the create_ methods. The second argument is the name of the attribute.

In your specific example it would look like this:

print(canvas.itemcget(txt, "text"))
