TkInter: how to display the normal cursor?

To go back to the standard cursor, pass an empty string to cursor:

root.config(cursor='')

For example:

from Tkinter import *

def cursor():
    if not root.cget('cursor') == '':
        root.config(cursor='')
    else:
        root.config(cursor='fleur')

root = Tk()
Button(root, text='Change cursor', command=cursor).pack()
root.mainloop()
