I'm making a simple app just to practice python in which I want to write text as if it were Notepad. However, I can't make my entry bigger. I'm using tkinter for this. Does anybody know how to make the height of an entry bigger?

I tried something like this:

f = Frame()
f.pack()
e = Entry(f,textvariable=1,height=20)
e.pack()

I know this doesn't work because there isn't a property of "height". However, I see that there is a width property.

It sounds like you are looking for tkinter.Text, which allows you to adjust both the height and width of the widget. Below is a simple script to demonstrate:

from tkinter import Text, Tk

r = Tk()
r.geometry("400x400")

t = Text(r, height=20, width=40)
t.pack()

r.mainloop()
