Python tkinter StringVar trace method to moniter the read , write or deleted status

For an StringVar() so we can check the different modes of this variable, like this

r :Read - the variable is read by someone
w :Write- the variable is written by someone.
u :undefined – The variable is deleted

Here is an example which uses w ( write ) mode to display the value of the variable when ever it changes.
We used one Button and used on Click event to change the value of this variable str from Hello to Welcome.

b1 = tk.Button(my_w,text='Update'command=lambda:str.set('Welcome') )

This triggers the trace() which used the callback function my_r() to print the value of the variable ( Welcome ) to our console.

trace method is used to attach 'observer' callbacks to the variable

import tkinter as tk
my_w = tk.Tk()
my_w.geometry("300x200")  # Size of the window 
my_w.title("www.plus2net.com")  # Adding a title

def my_r(*args):
    print(str.get()) #  Print when variable changes.
	
str = tk.StringVar(my_w) # declare StringVar()
str.set('Hello') 

l3 = tk.Label(my_w,  textvariable=str, width=15 )  
l3.grid(row=2,column=1)

b1 = tk.Button(my_w,text='Update',command=lambda:str.set('Welcome'))  
b1.grid(row=2,column=3)

str.trace('w',my_r)

my_w.mainloop()

Output
