tk options are not exposed as widget attributes, but via the configure method or 
dictionary-style indexing. So this should be:

w.configure(state='normal')

or:

w['state'] = 'normal'

What you did only creates a new attribute named "state" for the widget, which 
has no meaning at all at tk level.
