Modifying TKinter widgets defined in Modules

[Michael Peuser]

Marcus,
I have no clear concept of your problem ("nix verstehen"). Newbie? What is a
"main"? What in fact is the overall structure of your software system? You
have first di decide where to put your "variables". In Python you will
generally use an object. This can be made visible as you like. You however
have do decide who instantiates this object ("main" or one of the "moduls")?

The best way seems to do this in your "main":

class Data: pass
myData=Data()

Put all your 25 variables into it (myData.varX=None ....), then you pass
"myData" as a parameter to your moduls...

Is this what helps?
Kindly
Michael P
