This also works:

e=Pmw.EntryField(root, entry_width=42)

"Tyranny is any political system (whether absolute monarchy or fascism
or communism) that does not recognize individual rights (which
necessarily include property rights).  The over-throw of a political
system by force is justified only when it is directed against tyranny;
it is an act of self-defense against those who rule by force.  For
example, the American Revolution."
