Hi, thanks for the hint, but unfortunately the bug is still there.
Please try the following script:
#!/usr/bin/python
import Tkinter as Tk

def Proc_Enter(Event) :
  print "Enter - normally lookup a database"
  Event.widget.tk_focusNext().focus_set()

root= Tk.Tk()
Tk.Label(root,text='Name').grid(column=0,row=0,sticky=Tk.W)
Nm_input= Tk.StringVar()
Nm_entry= Tk.Entry(root,textvariable=Nm_input)
Nm_entry.bind('<Return>',Proc_Enter)
Nm_entry.grid(column=1,row=0,sticky=Tk.W)

Tk.Label(root,text='City').grid(column=0,row=1,sticky=Tk.W)
City_input= Tk.StringVar()
City_entry= Tk.Entry(root,textvariable=City_input)
City_entry.bind('<Return>',Proc_Enter)
City_entry.grid(column=1,row=1,sticky=Tk.W)

Tk.mainloop()

It still fails for me.
