you can disable keyboard characters from an Entry field in Tkinter using:

from tkinter import *
root=Tk()

txtDisplay = Entry(root, width=28, justify=RIGHT)    
txtDisplay.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=5, pady=1)
txtDisplay.bind("<Key>", lambda e: "break")          # Disable characters from keyboard

root.mainloop()

You can set the state of Entry widget to DISABLED.

Example:-

win = tk.Tk()
ent = Entry(win, state=DISABLED)
ent.pack()
