Tkinter Entry get problem

Hy guys, so I've already had a script to get date by Google's Geocode API and now I try to make a GUI for it. The layout is pretty completed (more or less) but I've coudn't got around how to get the user input out of the entry field. I've put a submit button to press and then check the field, but I've got :

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'get'

Here's the full code, thanks if you check it out.
