Just getting into Py coding and not understanding why this code doesn't
seem to do anything -

# File: dialog2.py
import dialog_handler

class MyDialog(dialog_handler.Dialog):
    def body(self, master):
        Label(master, text="First:").grid(row=0)
        Label(master, text="Second:").grid(row=1)
        self.e1 = Entry(master)
        self.e2 = Entry(master)
        self.e1.grid(row=0, column=1)
        self.e2.grid(row=1, column=1)
        return self.e1 # initial focus

    def apply(self):
        first = string.atoi(self.e1.get())
        second = string.atoi(self.e2.get())
        print first, second # or something
