I have the following oops code, I am also monitoring user activity to see if it is idle for more than 5 seconds. I am very new to oops, so just want to understand if there are better way to implement it.

self.entry = Tkinter.Entry(self,textvariable=self.entryVariable)
self.entry.grid(column=0,row=0,sticky='EW')
self.entry.bind("<Return>", self.OnPressEnter)
self.entryVariable.set(u"Enter text here.")
