Use .insert() to add default value place holder

import tkinter as tk

win = tk.Tk()

e = Entry(win)
e.insert(0, 'Placeholder')
e.pack()

win.mainloop()

You could use a StringVar.

variable = tkinter.StringVar(root, “Spam”)
entry = tkinter.Entry(root, textvariable=variable)
#Set it to something else:
variable.set(“Bacon”)
