Tanks for you answer

Yes you are right. I got an error:

TypeError: maj() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

OK, but i still find very strange the choice of Python's designers to
make the Scale behaves like that.
The position of the scale is in variable Valeur  (StringVar()) which
cold be read/write from anywhere, so it is not necessary to pass
this variable as an argument to the call back function.

If you are looking at the SpinBox widget, in example 4 in the
same web site:
http://fsincere.free.fr/isn/python/cours_python_tkinter.php

boite = Spinbox(Mafenetre,from_=0,to=10,increment=0.5, \
textvariable=Valeur,width=5,command=carre)

with the callback function "carre"

def carre():
    """ Calcul du carré """
    Resultat.set("Carré = "+str(float(Valeur.get())**2))

you can notice that carre function has no arguments. The value
in the SpinBox is catched with Valeur variable.

So SpinBox and Scale behaves differently. It is strange.


> you probably are misled by the 'command=maj' part in the above line.

no, I understood this mechanism
