Tkinter store choices- values inside variables

I am trying to play and learn with tkinter :

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
from tkcalendar import Calendar, DateEntry

gui = Tk(className='STUDENTS')
gui.geometry("500x300")


def openNewWindow2():
    newWindow1 = Toplevel(gui)
    newWindow1.title("STUDENTS")
    newWindow1.geometry("500x300")
    Label(newWindow1, text='Select How many students?').pack()
    options2 = [
        "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"
    ]
    clicked = StringVar()
    clicked.set("1")
    drop = OptionMenu(newWindow1, clicked, *options2)
    drop.pack()
    btn5 = Button(newWindow1,
                  text="GENERATE!!!",
                  command"#some function to use the values of dropdown and maxcal#")
    btn5.pack(pady=20)
    maxcal = DateEntry(newWindow1, width=12, background='darkblue',
                foreground='white', borderwidth=2)
    maxcal.pack(padx=10, pady=10)

label = Label(gui, text='test1~')
label.pack(pady=10)
btn2 = Button(gui,
              text="generator",
              command=openNewWindow2)

btn2.pack(pady=20)
gui.mainloop()

This will create a window with a dropdown menu. I want to hit the btn5 and store the values of the dropdown menu and the calendar in another window after. Is this possible?

This is pretty simple, something like this should work:

def openNewWindow2():
    newWindow1 = Toplevel(gui)
    def func():
        print('hello world'*int(clicked.get()))

    ....
    btn5 = Button(newWindow1,text="GENERATE!!!",command=func)

It is something special with python that I don't think any other programing languages offer. You can multiply a string(I guess all iterables) with an integer to repeat it that many times.
