Here is a screenshot of a program I am writing using Python Tkinter. I use ttk.Entry widget to get the user input.

I would like to know how to center the input in the Entry (as you can see, the input is now stuck to the left part of the widget)

Entry widgets take the option justify, which for centered text should be 'center'. When creating the widget, do something like

e = ttk.Entry(master, ..., justify='center')
