curselection

Synopsis

                        L.curselection( )

Returns a sequence of zero or more indices, from 0 upwards, of selected items. Depending on the underlying release of Tk, curselection may return string representations of the integer indices, rather than the integers themselves. To remove this uncertainty, you can use:

                        indices = [ int(x) for x in L.curselection( ) ]

However, [ L .get( x ) for x in L .curselection( )] is always the list of the zero or more text items that are selected, no matter what form of indices curselection returns. Therefore, if you’re interested in selected text items rather than selected indices, the uncertainty may not be an issue.
