Use google to find the appropriate site, or browse this site, there
are plenty of examples. You may want to examine the code I wrote to
you to catch the idea:
#----------------------
import Tkinter
import pprint

tk = Tkinter.Tk()
f = Tkinter.Frame(tk, width=100, height=100)
msg = Tkinter.StringVar()
msg.set('Hello')
l = Tkinter.Label(f,  textvariable=msg)
l.pack()
f.pack()

keys = set()

def keyPressHandler(event):
    keys.add(event.char)
    display()

def keyReleaseHandler(event):
    keys.remove(event.char)
    display()

def display():
    msg.set(str(keys))

f.bind_all('<KeyPress>', keyPressHandler)
f.bind_all('<KeyRelease>', keyReleaseHandler)

f.mainloop()
