[pygtk] How to simplify my gtk.Entry

[egbert]

In the script below I have a gtk.Entry within a function;
I found a way to make the answer to this Entry available in
the surronding global namespace, but i think that there is
an easier way. Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import gtk

answer_list = []

def entry_gui(answer = None):

    def entry_callback(x):
        answer.append(entry.get_text())
        w.destroy()
        gtk.main_quit()
        
    if answer == None: answer = []    
    entry = gtk.Entry()
    entry.connect("activate", entry_callback)

    w = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
    w.set_title("Say")
    w.add(entry)
    w.show_all()

entry_gui(answer_list)
gtk.main()
print "The answer is: %s" % answer_list[0]
