And what does self.wordList begin as?  If {}, then the assignemt is 
invalid.  Perhaps you want self.wordList.append(entry.get())

Is this supposed to be incremented once per entry or once per 
getWords()?  If the former, you would overwrite previous assignment (if 
it worked) for every item except the last.
