title: Python: get a checkbox - the easiest way
body: <p>or perhaps the lazy way..</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a python module that has some build-in GUI methods to get quick user inputs - a very common programming case. Has to work on windows 7</p>
  
  <p><strong>My ideal case</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>import magicGUImodule
  listOfOptions = ["option 1", "option 2", "option 3"]
  choosenOptions = magicGUImodule.getChecklist(listOfOptions, 
                              selectMultiple=True, cancelButton=True)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's kinda like <code>raw_input</code> but with a GUI. There must be something out there since this is a common programming task. </p>

  <h2>UPDATE</h2>
  
  <p>@alecxe it is not to be rude that I unchecked your answer as the solution to my problem. I still want to be able to use <strong>my ideal case</strong> in whatever script I'm working on and your answer gets me half the way.</p>
  
  <p>I thought that I could implement @alecxe's solution easily into a module, but it's not that simple (for me)..</p>
  
  <p>Here is my module so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code># This serve as a module to get user input - the easy way!
  # Some GUI selection
  #from Tkinter import *
  import Tkinter
  
  master = Tkinter.Tk()
  input = None
  listbox = None
  
  def chooseFromList(list, windowTitle="Choose from list", buttonText="Submit", selectMultiple=False, w=150, h=30):
      global listbox
      listbox = Tkinter.Listbox(master, selectmode=MULTIPLE if selectMultiple else SINGLE, width=w, height=h)
      listbox.master.title(windowTitle)
      for option in list:
          listbox.insert(0, option)
      listbox.pack()
      #listbox.selection_set(1)
      b = Tkinter.Button(master, command=callback(listbox), text=buttonText)
      b.pack()
      mainloop()
  
  def callback(listbox):
      global listbox
      setInput(listbox.selection_get())
      master.destroy()    
  
  def setInput(var):
      global input
      input = var
  
  def getInput():
      global input
      return input
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is my script </p>
  
  <pre><code>import GetUserInput
  listOfOptions = ["option 1", "option 2", "option 3"]
  choice = GetUserInput.chooseFromList(listOfOptions)
  print choice.getInput()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I just get the error </p>
  
  <p><code>can't invoke "listbox" command: application has been destroyed</code></p>
  
  <p>Have tried a lot of different options that I though would solve the case (like using global variable) - but without any luck.</p>
  
  <h2>UPDATE 2</h2>
  
  <p>@blablatros gave me exactly the solution that I was looking for.</p>
