user-interfaces

[mighty frigate]

or without QCompleter at all

with your own thing

basicaly having a QListView that you size and position yourself, you feed its model whenever you need and you show it whenever you want

this might actually be the cleaner solution

Qt works very well for a lot of things but when you go out of the intended usecases it might get hard to achieve exactly what you want sometimes

[quartz dust]

Yeah, so it will worked with a hard coded value so x to the power of 2 or x to the power of 3, but when I tried to make is x to the power of y where you could choose your own number the Interface didn't show it and it didn't let me choose the power or show me what the answer would've been for this.

[past herald]

My idea was

You press this x**y button

And the next number of inputs

Instead of going to the screen
normally, they get passed in to a function that takes
currentexpression ^ y (y is a normal digit button being pressed while a bool is true)

Not sure how easy it would be to implement in your current code, but thats pretty much the simpliest way i could think off to do it

[quartz dust]

Okay then ty

[digital rose]

need some good tkinter librarys/frameworks that could help me with a better grid and setting buttons as a image

does qt need to be installed
in order to use pyqt?

[worthy ridge]

no

[kindred minnow]

why is this

Question about tkinter and formatting text inside labels: Is it possible to put a black outline around text in tkinter somehow? Lets say I have a blue back-ground with white lettering and i want the letters to pop a little bit more so i want a black outline around all the letters, is there a way to go about that? (Is this specifically called something so I don't have to explain it?) If posting in wrong channel plz direct me to proper one learning to use this disc

[somber hemlock]

Idk if this thing specifically is available but if you are using themed widgets you need to configure the styles

Customising ttk is actually more complicated than getting tk customised

[strange pendant]

A Tkinter doubt.

So I have a text widget from which I want to delete exactly two characters, I tried doing
my_text.delete('index - 2c', index) but it gives error

[rocky dragon]

Try giving the label the window as a parent

[kindred minnow]

[summer vigil]

ay there a way to get rid of this?

Just for looks is all

[smoky finch]

Hey guys, i was playing with this program called OpenBB, it's a terminal based financial tool. I'd like to try and build a similar terminal interface with custom commands like in the picture

is there a right way of doing it? where do i start?

[rough holly]

Not sure if there is a right way.

• curses, windows-curses for making from scratch.
• rich to print.
• textual or asciimatics for interactivity.

[cobalt idol]

how can i load a ui file using a Qthread in PyQt5

[smoky finch]

I was thinking of using textual, thank you for the input

[digital rose]

Try pip3 install uni-curses, here's something i made with it:

[digital rose]

What do i need only for pyqt?

is that enough?

or something missing

I guess i can add anything later

if i miss anything

[jagged ferry]

can anyone review my code? i'm a qt newbie, so 😅
https://github.com/watchYourCache/instalocka/blob/main/instalocka_gui.py

[rocky dragon]

pyqt should come with what it needs from qt

[smoky finch]

awesome, thank you

[digital rose]

nope

it just gave me errors
when i tried to do a pip install

all good
i needed qt designer anyways

Hi, I use tkinter but my window goes very weird when resizing, is there a way to make it look good when resizing the window? Idk how it's called but basically make it adjust itself to the width and height of the window

[shut yacht]

I use PyQt what’s going on? Also Qt has it’s own Discord which may or may not be more responsive.

[fresh pelican]

i have a problem binding a keyboard key to a function in my program, it does bind but the function messes up a number conversion

the function changes a string obtained from a tkinter entry box into a float

whenever it is called i get the error "Could not convert string to float"

[worthy ridge]

yea pyqt application garbage collects and ends the runtime loop

@worn viper when u create a QWidget type class u need to reference it to the parent class or widget otherwise Qt internally delets it after the function is done executing

[worthy ridge]

its inside the Scripts folder in python

[digital rose]

wheres is that

python folder

[worthy ridge]

yes

[digital rose]

where is python folder?

[worthy ridge]

where did u install python

[worthy ridge]

no go a level up

[worthy ridge]

where the python.exe resides

[digital rose]

there is no exe

[worthy ridge]

ohh lol u on mac

ok wait a sec

[worthy ridge]

did u install this

[digital rose]

here?

qt?

yea

[worthy ridge]

ok go in the tools directory of design studio

[digital rose]

oh i can open designer

[worthy ridge]

yeah but ur better off with the LW version that only does QT and not QML

that in the \qt6_design_studio_reduced_version\bin

[digital rose]

prob then i need to install pyqt using homebrew

afaik you cant install applications with pip

atleast in macos

[worthy ridge]

dont u have this directory

cause thats where designer is stored

[digital rose]

it doesnt say where it is?

found it

[digital rose]

nvm

how do i unistall qt5

one

[digital rose]

qt5 design studio reduced version

might just throw it into bin

[somber hemlock]

RTF is pretty much a windows only thing, if whatever you're making is Windows only take a look at MSFTEdit control https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/create-rich-edit-controls

You need to know win32 to use this however

Note that RTF is a very outdated format. I would recommend you to just use some HTML renderer control, pretty sure GTK has one built in

"rich" text is a very generic term, I am still not sure you want rtf

[mighty frigate]

@worn viperhttps://doc.qt.io/qt-6/gallery.html

qt's textview has this but it's not very good with gnome looks wise
What I mean is : you can customize it. There's multiple default styles, if none suits your needs you can look for one or create your own.

idk what you mean by that because gnome already handles the window controls.

anyway Idk the first thing about rtf nor gtk, if you have quetsions about Qt you can ask me tho

sure, take a look at QWidget::setStylesheet.

paddings and margins are usually handle in the contentMargins of layouts

give me an example pls

"changing the colors for instance of qt's ui will break integration"

it's a little too abstract for me

give me something solid

I see

if plasma does it it means it's doable

i don't know that particular topic tho sorry

you sure there's isn't a gtk3 defaut theme ?

I don't have any linux to find out rn

no I mean

Qt has some built-in theme, "styles"

gtk might be one of them

try to run QStyleFactory.keys()

it should gives you the list of default styles available

yes

here : https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/gallery.html

you can see a few default styles available

if you're lucky, there's already a gtk default theme that will handle everything for you

QStyleFactory.keys() will tell you that

QRadioButton ?

oof

uuuuh

isn't that supposed to be handled by the font ?

this is a very good questio nto which I don't have the answer, sorry

I've never played with texts that deeply

(but ff is opensource so technically you could investigate and find out how they are doing it)

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/plugins/platformthemes/gtk3/qgtk3theme.cpp

there's a good chance there's actually a default gtk3 theme

it's pretty much the same for Qt

but as you can see, there's a file in the Qt source that talks about styles for gtk3

so there's def something done specificaly for gtk3 in Qt

[raw spoke]

guys I'm trying to understand in Tkinter if you use grid() on widgets inside a frame, does that mean that grid() interacts exclusively inside the frame?

[sharp reef]

im using gtk4's picture widget, how would i be able to make it "zoomable" using the mousewheel?

[sleek hollow]

Yes, the frame itself has a grid that's separate from its parent

[raw spoke]

thanks 🙂

[delicate wharf]

hey uh, is it normal in tkinter for a widget to not update its children? I have a Frame that I can delete elements from, but when I add an element in runtime and then try to delete it without restarting (it saves), I get an index out of range error

I checked and the index seems correct...

[delicate wharf]

nvm I was adding to the index twice instead of once

[mighty frigate]

@worn viperIdk. I can take a closer look but I would need a small working a example to work with and reproduce the problem

[raw spoke]

guys can anyone explain why importing **tkinter.tkk **changes the default style of buttons?

(PyQt6) I've got a QMainWindow with a stacked widget as its central widget, I change the selected widget within the stacked widget to move between the different parts of the order. However, when I move from my flavor selection widget to my order confirmation widget, the main window resizes itself, but the window doesn't resize back when I change the stacked widget again.

How can I make the QMainWindow resize itself when I select a different widget from its central widget (a QStackedWidget)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5'

it shows me this, despite me downloading pyqt5 using pip install pyqt5

and thing is, everything imports correctly and stuff when i do it from vscode

but if i do it from any other text editor or ide it doesnt import correctly

ok so i tried a fix that works when pymysql shows a similar error, by copypasting the module on to the same directory as my main file

but now it shows this ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.sip'

[quick acorn]

wait wtf, if i run the code in python 3.9 it doesnt work but when i run it in python 3.8 it works ?!?! my head is exploding

[mighty rock]

What does py -0 show you

Or python3 -0 if you are on Linux

You might have simply installed the library into a different version of Python in which you are trying to run the script

[quick acorn]

Installed Pythons found by py Launcher for Windows
-3.9-64 *
-3.8-64

yeah i figured that might be the issue, i have pyqt5 installed for python3.8 but i run my code in python 3.9

now how do i install pyqt5 for python 3.9?

[somber hemlock]

pip3.9 install pyqt5

[mighty rock]

py -3.9 -m pip install PyQt5

Or is it in lowercase

[quick acorn]

thanks, you're a life saver

btw do you know how to permanently use pip for 3.9 python? or do i just have to use the same command for other versions/packages now? (that is also doable)

[rare aspen]

@quick acorn like:

python3.10 -m pip install package # python3.10
python3.9 -m pip install package # python3.9

people what TUI package will yall suggest to create a dynamic screen (something like rich) but also take inputs from the user at the same time
in inputs atleast textbox is needed.. other types of inputs can be helpful too yes

[restive oracle]

only if we had text input in rich

seems nice yes thankyou

[obtuse thistle]

it supports keyboard input, but there's no text input widgets yet, i don't think

so you'd have to roll your own

[restive oracle]

uhoh that kinda defeats the purpose
i dont want to reinvent the wheel with this project

any suggestions salt?

[obtuse thistle]

prompt-toolkit maybe

but not really

blessings i think has some text input widgets

[restive oracle]

ah hm ill look into it thankyou

how to display transparent button in tkinter?

[midnight pecan]

For all of those working with QML, ping me whenever you have a question, I'm still learning but maybe I can help

[midnight pecan]

changing color opacity or using a transparent PNG

[stray river]

Hello Python Discord,

I am looking to create a shell-like management/configuration interface for an Arduino micro controller as part of a school project. I am asynchronously communicating with the Arduino over serial using a custom binary protocol.

I've already got the communications part working, but I am unsure how to create the user interface.

My intention is for the user to type commands into a shell like this:

> config get speed
100
> show-logs on
> config set speed 25
[Arduino] speed set to 25
[Arduino] This is another log message
> show-logs off




$ config get ...

There are a few requirements:

1. Must be possible to run an async function when a command is entered (shell input should be blocked until this returns)
2. Must be possible to print log messages at any time without interrupting user input (even when input is blocked due to running command)
3. Should work on both Windows and Linux/macOS

Is there a library that implements this functionality (or some of it) or at least makes it easier to implement it myself?

Thanks a lot in advance!

[tawdry mulch]

color opacity?

[tawdry mulch]

You cannot, you will have to use an image inside a canvas that acts like a button

[midnight pecan]

yes you can

button has an attributed named bg

if you set bg to a transparent color then the button wont be shown but will be there

canvas is the other option, yes.

[tawdry mulch]

then what is the example of a transparent color?

[midnight pecan]

any rbga as long as its transparent mate

[tawdry mulch]

No tkinter widgets supports RGBA other than canvas...?

and plus, I don't know how one could pass RGBA onto tkinter as I think it jus accepts hex codes and some predefined color names and the alpha channel does not reflect on the hex code either, AFAIK

[midnight pecan]

00FFFFFF is a transparent hexcode

[thorn trench]

I'm working with PySide, I have a QListWidget with some custom widgets as elements. I want to re-order/sort the list based on a parameter only present in the QWidgets I made. How can I achieve that? The object only seems to be able to sort itself based on the item's text.

[tawdry mulch]

Maybe it is, but tkinter will not recognize it

_tkinter.TclError: invalid color name "#00FFFFFF"

[midnight pecan]

👍

[midnight pecan]

Never tried to do that, but if there is a PySide function that lets you change index's of items, just create a function in python that sorts the items in the list

I think there was a thing in pyside to change items index's

[gritty apex]

Anyone has experience with Gtk?

I'm using Glade, but I wanna know how to do things with code, set_padding is depracated, but the suggested alignment and margin do something else so 🤷‍♂️

[hybrid minnow]

Hi all, I'm looking for a code snippet or something that gets me on the right path for this: I'm trying to have a GUI run along side a script I am running so that I can monitor variable values as the script runs. I did this many years ago with cv2 but at this point I don't remember any of it. I was going to try and do it with tkinter but any help I find is generally updating a label on a button click which doesn't work either. I need to display live updating values. Any snippets advice or direction is appreciated.

I essentially just want to see
var 1 - x
var 2 - y
var 3 - z
all updated from the main loop

[rugged dagger]

there is no opacity option in tk
and tkinter doesnt support png transparency

[restive oracle]

yeah so was i
i on the contrary wanted something like regular terminal input

Hey guys I'm using the Notification capability in the Plyer module in Python, is there a way to run a certain piece of code when you click or interact with the Notification.

[ripe shuttle]

You can execute a daemon thread with a while loop to keep updating the gui.

from threading import Thread

# declare your vars and code
Thread(target = update, daemon = True).start()

def update():
  while True:
    Tk.update(root)

Note: This may or may not work. I have not tried it before myself. You would have to change the values of the labels and all in the while loop before updating the window.

[rugged dagger]

Ok thanks

[rugged dagger]

I will try later
Thanks

[tawdry mulch]

It does not

[hybrid minnow]

Did update break if the values are unchanged?

[ripe shuttle]

Let me see if I am understanding your problem correctly. You have a program that is altering the values of certain variables and you want to see the current value of those variables in a tkinter window?

# Declared window
# Example code
x, y, z = 0, 0, 0
while True:
  x+= 1
  y += 2
  z += 3
  Label_x.text = x
  Label_y.text = y
  Label_z.text = z
  Tk.update(root)
  if x == 10:
    break

Do also note that I have not worked with tkinter for quite some time so some of the specifics of the framework might be wrong but overall this should be about right.

[wary grotto]

where's root and the mainloop()?

[ripe shuttle]

Those would be up to you to declare

This is just a snippet of the functionality from my side

[wary grotto]

ok

[ripe shuttle]

I am not aware of any library that implements those features directly but libraries like threading and multiprocessing may be useful to you.

Hi

I have this GUI with 4 frames

but when I try to put a widget inside the cyan one

(a text)

this happens, the frame increases its size

but I want it to keep it

and the Text widget to decrease its size, to fit inside the frame

class App():
    def __init__(self, master):
        self.master = master
        self.master.title('GUI')
        
        #FRAMES
        self.left_frame        = Frame(self.master, bg = 'yellow', width = 550, height = 300)
        self.chat_text_frame   = Frame(self.left_frame, bg = 'cyan', width = 550, height = 270)
        self.chat_bar_frame    = Frame(self.left_frame, bg = 'magenta', width = 550, height = 30)

        self.right_frame       = Frame(self.master,      bg = 'green',  width = 340, height = 300)
        self.user_config_frame = Frame(self.right_frame, bg = 'red',  width = 340, height = 100)
        self.friends_frame     = Frame(self.right_frame, bg = 'blue', width = 340, height = 200)

        self.friends_frame.grid(row = 1, column = 0)

        self.chat_management()

    def chat_management(self): 
        #CHAT
        self.chat_text   = Text(self.chat_text_frame)
        # self.chat_bar    = Entry(self.chat_bar_frame, font = 'Consolas', bg = '#010409', fg = 'white', width = 54)
        # self.file_dialog = Button(self.chat_bar_frame, font = 'Consolas', text = 'Send file', command = file_dialog_command, width = 10, height = 0)

        #CHAT GRID
        self.chat_text.grid(row = 0, column = 0, padx = 1, pady = 1)
        # self.chat_bar.grid(row = 0, column = 0)
        # self.file_dialog.grid(row = 0, column = 1)```

Are there any good resources to learn Kivy? The tutorial within the api documentation isn't super helpful

I don't have any prior experience with making guis

[digital rose]

If you are an intermediate developer, you just need to go to .py files and read the comments

Often you just need to copy and paste, then observe the behavior and the result

[bleak coral]

Well i’d say i’m slightly above intermediate

It’s just that i haven’t done any programming in a really long time

And i kinda got unfamiliar with learning new libraries

But thank you for your feedback

[digital rose]

I recommend you just learn
Labels, button, screens and layouts then jump to kivymd directly.

[bleak coral]

Ah i see

Well i want to do is like an app with multiple pages

I like already coded it as a web app

It just turned out really buggy since i’m not really good with html and css

That’s why i wanted something more simple since it’s gonna be used on mobile only

It’s just as i told you I haven’t coded much in the last like 2-3 years

Apart from this

And i really want to get back into programming

[digital rose]

Did you install kivymd + kivy or just kivy?

[bleak coral]

Just kivy

[digital rose]

Install kivymd because it is the same as kivy just that better theme

[bleak coral]

Oh okay

[digital rose]

It does have some extra functionalities but it is built on the top of kivy

[bleak coral]

Okay then thank you

[digital rose]

Directly inherits from kivy and adds some tweaks

Wait

I will send you a good example application

[bleak coral]

Oh i see

[digital rose]

I think i have it somewhere

[bleak coral]

Oh ok i’d really appreciate it

Hi I have a question regarding Tkinter. I've asked the question about 4 times in help channels, with no response. Is it alright to ask here or should I open up another help channel?

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[crisp timber]

@velvet ruin I spent too long to not post this lol

[velvet ruin]

You definitely have a better grasp on advanced programming than I do

I just put code together lol

[crisp timber]

not really lol, I just code things out in variousu ways

But basically that's an example of random images with random text

There's a lot of weird stuff going on with Tkinter

Like I can't really place the image generation just anywhere, it has to be within main scope

[somber hemlock]

If you load images in a class, you need to save them as instance variables, else the get garbage collected after they are out of scope. Known bug.

[crisp timber]

ah, I don't regularly work with tkinter, but I see, a common gotcha has got me

[sturdy echo]

can someone please help me understand why everything inside this window just starts without any input, for example:

 self.switch = customtkinter.CTkSwitch(master=self.window, 
                                                    text=SelectedLanguage["Theme Switch"], 
                                                    command=self.theme_change,)
            self.switch.toggle(1)
            self.switch.place(relx=0.12, rely=0.65)

The switch.toggle here is supposed to put the switch "on" but it doesn't do anything

And here:

self.Optionmenu = customtkinter.CTkOptionMenu(self.window,
                                                        values=["Português-pt", "English"],
                                                        command=self.change_language,
                                                        hover=True)
            self.Optionmenu.place(relx=0.95, rely=0.16, anchor="e")
            self.Optionmenu.set(Option_lg_df)

the function starts without any user input at all

[ripe shuttle]

This is to everyone asking to ask. Just ask your problem and someone will help. Don't ask to ask. Just ask.

[thorny igloo]

hello! one question. what is the best distro to use python?

[bitter marsh]

Doesn't matter. Just use anything that can support installing Python and its modules

[thorny igloo]

It usually happens to me that when using linux (I'm a beginner), when I want to install a program, I usually lack others programs to be able to use it

[bitter marsh]

I don't understand

[thorny igloo]

In general, programs depend on other programs in order to function and if the distro that I use does not have those programs, errors arise

[bitter marsh]

Then I guess use a distro that have those "programs" whatever that is.

Python generally works on most up to date OS

[thorny igloo]

that is the point, what distro ?

[bitter marsh]

Just pick one. Any distro. Except kali. Don't start with kali. Or ParrotOS. Not suited for dev. But most OS should work.

Some popular favorites: Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro, Arch, PopOS, Alpine, etc etc

But I don't know what "program" is supposed to be installed on any of these OS for you to start using Python. So I can't really recommend any as that's an unknown requirement for your case.

[thorny igloo]

Ok thanks for info and patience!!

[digital rose]

I recommend you just use WSL to ease the learning curve of linux first

Then, go forth for a clean install with a proper linux desktop

Since this is a user interface channel, we can discuss about which GUI and desktop environment are good for you

2. which read my CSV file
3. which provide mapping help
   • Example:
     System A : Column Name is "YourName"
     System B : Column Name is "Name"

Want online GUI interface which allow me to select "YourName" = "Name"

based on that ETL template got created and which I can use in system B as import.

I am just aware about pandas but what for GUI online?

Please provide your views

Many thanks in advance

[bitter marsh]

!pypi streamlit is probably what you're looking for

[proven basin]

streamlit v1.12.2

The fastest way to build data apps in Python

[paper phoenix]

Sir, I checked that too. Is it possible to create GUI based column mapping in streamlit?

[bitter marsh]

I don't know what that means "GUI based column mapping". Explain a bit more pls.

[paper phoenix]

E.g System A: Column name "YourName"

System B : Column name "Name"

GUI based column mapping would provide list of all column in System A against which it should provide drop-down list

based on it ETL template should generate

[bitter marsh]

I still don't know what that means. Try reading up on https://streamlit.io yourself and see if it fits your requirements

Hi, I created a little application with pySimpleGUI. My issue is that I have to call the asynchronious functions when clicking on buttons. So when I call those functions which will loop sometimes, then my window simply freezes.

Any help/fix?

[thorn trench]

I have a QListWidget with a bunch of custom widgets on it. I want to be able to reorder them, so I need the functionality of swapping either the items or the widgets. At the moment when I try to set the widget of an item to another item's widget, the program crashes. I understand this is probably because of how Qt handles ownership of widgets, but how can I work around this?

[lone axle]

Is there a way when using pyqt formlayout have 2 rows and 2 columns?

[thorn trench]

I'm pretty sure qformlayout have 2 columns by default, so you can just insert 2 rows to achieve that

[lone axle]

no i want like

label: input box label2: input box2
label3: input box3 label4: input box 4

[thorn trench]

why not just use a qgridlayout then?

[sleek hollow]

How are you adding the custom widgets? Are you using setItemWidget?

[sleek hollow]

It gets a lot more complicated when the item has a widget attached. This stack overflow comment covers it well

https://stackoverflow.com/a/57915796

[lone axle]

cause i want input boxes as well

[sleek hollow]

You can use input boxes with grid layout

your other option is an hbox layout with 2 side by side form layouts

[thorn trench]

yes

[sleek hollow]

Give that link above a read.

[thorn trench]

thank you so much!

So I went through that article and tried implementing a custom sorting function to reorder all of the elements, but for some reason they turn invisible once reordered

[somber hemlock]

Nice, so this is like pygubu

!pypi pygubu

[proven basin]

pygubu v0.25

A simple GUI builder for the python tkinter module

[somber hemlock]

But with a simpler schema

A custom layout manager for tkinter would make for a very interesting project

Or page based navigation

[ripe shuttle]

Try asking in #media-processing maybe?

[warm sonnet]

what should i use for creating a cli? I saw that typer works niceley

[lyric schooner]

go is pretty trendy these days, but python is fine too

[smoky needle]

Yes but mine seems to have shorter syntax + i've made XML Schema file to make it easier via IDE like Pycharm or VSCode

For example trying to create new element looks like this in PyCharm:

[somber hemlock]

Wow! This is nice

If you need help to package this project you can ping me :))

[smoky needle]

Or another example, configuration of button looks like this:

[somber hemlock]

najce

[smoky needle]

If you looked on Github, you've already seen list of supported elements, but it supports only half of it, when I add support to all of them, i will package it, but thank you i appreciate it ❤️

[somber hemlock]

with some work you might even show some docs for each option

Elements like canvas will benefit a lot from this

Also how do you plan to integrate textvariables into this system?

[smoky needle]

I've already did, you will declare it at the start of document and then reference on it by its name

Example of calculator:

<Tk xmlns="Tkinter" title="Calculator" geometry="300x400" bg="#343845" resizable="false false">
  <Variable name="display"/>
  <Label textvariable="display" ... >
        ...
  </Label>
</Tk>

Then after parsing you can get it via list of variables:

app = XMLTK.parse("calculator.xml")
display = app.Variables["display"] # this is the display variable

[somber hemlock]

ohh nice

you can maybe use better syntax for this, like <Label textvariable="{Binding display}">

[smoky needle]

i wanted to make it linked by it's identificator = name

These are all of the features it currently has:

Everything on github, also i've included calculator example in examples folder

I will do more later but this example includes all abilities of XMLTK

[somber hemlock]

Good luck for your future endeavours :))

[smoky needle]

Thank you 😄 ❤️ Hope you like my project

[smoky needle]

BTW i did not know about Pygubu, i started it on my own

i tried to make one of my apps in TK but i was not satisfied with amount of design code (exactly 100+ lines) and it was kinda painful to navigate through it... thats why i started... after making my app in XMLTK i've made it in XML in like 50-60 lines of Markup Code

[smoky needle]

pinging for your reply

[somber hemlock]

Using XML for UI is the way to go. XML based UI frameworks have been around since atleast 2006 now

I recommend you to take a look at WPF XAML for ideas on how to improve, its a tried and tested framework

I would also focus on data binding first once you add all the widgets in the schema

[smoky needle]

data binding? I have no clue what is that 😄

[somber hemlock]

#user-interfaces message this is the idea basically

tkinter textvariables themselves are a form of data binding

When you update a textvariable, all the widgets linked to its value, also update

[smoky needle]

Yea thats what it can do rn

[somber hemlock]

Well textvariables don't work for all items and are definitely only for simple types, you can't bind a list

Imagine binding a list to a tkinter listbox

Everytime a list element changes, the listbox items get updated automatically

Easy to achieve this with callbacks and creating a collections.UserListsubclass

[latent gust]

I am building a project with PyQt5.
In one window, I ask the user to input data in respective text boxes. Some are combo boxes, etc.

I want to transfer this data into another window.
In my project, each window has a new class with QDialog attribute. I load the ui using the loadui function. So when I edit the GUI interface in the QT designer, the screens get updated in my VS Code logic automatically.

This is an example of one window which I have:

class Payment_Info(QDialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Payment_Info, self).__init__()
        Relative Path - loadUi(r"Project_Source_Code\Payment_Info_Screen.ui", self")
        
        self.Confirm_Payment.clicked.connect(self.confirm)


    def confirm(self):
        Customer_ID = self.Customer_ID.text()
        Customer_Card_Type = self.Customer_Card_Type.currentText()
        Customer_Number = self.Customer_Number.text()

Say I want to transfer the Customer ID, Card Type and Customer Number into another class:

class Confirm_Payment(QDialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Confirm_Payment, self).__init__()
        Relative Path - loadUi(r"Project_Source_Code\Payment_Confirm_Screen.ui", self")
        
        self.Confirm_Payment.clicked.connect(self.confirm)


    def confirm(self):
        # Use the Details from the above class

How would I go about doing this? When I try passing the Payment_Info class in Confirm Payment class as a parameter alongside QDialolog -
class Confirm_Payment(QDialog, Payment_Info),
I get an error saying
TypeError: Cannot create a consistent method resolution order (MRO).

[digital rose]

Why don't you use that window editor thingie...?

Called Qt Designer

[latent gust]

I use that. I make the whole window with widgets and buttons that I need. But my issue is more towards the logic than the GUI itself.

[digital rose]

Can you please help me with my problem?

plot_canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(...)  # A tk.DrawingArea.

I should add, the default resize event happen any time the "<Configure>" event is generated

I'm using the Qt designer to create an user interface and I want to create a seocond UI to configure settings. Can I create a second window in the same project in Qt designer or do I have to start a second project and load it into the main one once it is done?

[vale wadi]

you can create a second windows in same project

[loud rivet]

how would I do that?

i have looked around, but might've missed the option for it

[vale wadi]

Ctrl+N

or File > New

in the right corner of the screen

[loud rivet]

but doesn't that create a new .ui file?
ideally, I'd have everything in the same .ui file

[vale wadi]

you can copy the file e edit after the same

then you can open the second window and make changes

[loud rivet]

okay, I'll do that, thanks for the help

[vale wadi]

You're welcome

[granite crater]

So I've been using PyQt for a while and there's one thing I haven't wrapped my head around yet

It seems that all Qt tutorials involve a lot of reliance on the framework. Is this actually bad or is my brain overexagerratimg it? I read somewhere that you should code in a way that it makes switch between frameworks and libraries easy, but it seems to me that with Qt it'd be quite difficult as it's recommended to use Qt models wherever you can

[vale wadi]

yes, agree

has much problems in qt in my experience with this framework

anyone can help me in pyqt5 i need urgent fix this problem

[blazing pine]

Hi @vale wadi you should specify a bit about your issue, people here will be hesitant to say they can help w/o knowing more about what you're having trouble with.

[vale wadi]

Okay, so in my program there are 2 functions, one that opens the file explorer and selects a file and another that saves the file, when I click 2 times on open file, and then I will save my file it opens 2 windows instead of 1, how can i fix this?

[blazing pine]

from the description, I would guess that you may have a signal connected to the dialog open call, and the signal is firing twice. Without seeing your code that shows how the dialog opens, it's going to be impossible to say.

I have done plenty of dialog stuff, and haven't encountered a case where dialogs open twice

[vale wadi]

function of open

function of save

[blazing pine]

any chance you're connecting the signal twice?

I would try using the UniqueConnection argument in the .connect() call https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt.html#ConnectionType-enum

if it's not a unique connection, you will get an exception

[vale wadi]

maybe my last line

because my functione salvartabela inside of my fuction main

and i click sistema for open my function, i guess that is it

this problem is that i will calling 2 times

thanks for your help i will test for fix this

[blazing pine]

generally when things are happening twice (or more) which you think should be happening once, it's often because a signal was connected twice, so you'll get the slot being called twice ... the easiest way to debug is to throw the UniqueConnection enum into the connect method, and see if you get an exception raised when you run your code

[vale wadi]

thanks for everything

[vale wadi]

[vale wadi]

so i'll show you how i'm doing

this is the main class

and the other classes using the same functions

is there any way I can inherit the functions from the main class, or is there a better way to do this?

[paper phoenix]

where else we can deploy streamlit quickly for free?

I already checked heroku and streamlit cloud do we have any other options ?

[worthy ridge]

@vale wadi u can pass the UI as a dependency to all the classes that u require it in, u can see how i use it on my project

Hi I want to make a second screen for a tkinter application. here is my code :

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

# from tkinter import messagebox

root = Tk()


def screen2():
    frm = ttk.Frame(root, padding=10, height=300, width=300)
    frm.grid()

    Label(frm, text='Screen 2 ').place(x=110, y=100)


def screen1():
    frm = ttk.Frame(root, padding=10, height=300, width=300)
    frm.grid()

    Label(frm, text='Select Routine : ').place(x=10, y=0)

    cnBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='Computer Networks')
    osBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='Operating Systems')
    caBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='Computer Architecture')
    pyBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='Python')
    hinBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='Hindi')
    engBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='English')
    ssBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='Soft Skills')
    cnLabBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='Computer Network Lab')
    pyLabBtn = ttk.Checkbutton(frm, text='Python Lab')
    cnBtn.place(x=30, y=25)
    osBtn.place(x=30, y=45)
    caBtn.place(x=30, y=65)
    pyBtn.place(x=30, y=85)
    hinBtn.place(x=30, y=105)
    engBtn.place(x=30, y=125)
    ssBtn.place(x=30, y=145)
    cnLabBtn.place(x=30, y=165)
    pyLabBtn.place(x=30, y=185)
    done_button = Button(frm, height=1, width=5, text='Done', command=screen2())
    done_button.place(x=120, y=225)

    root.mainloop()


screen1() 

I want the second screen window to replace the first one whenever the button is clicked. Currently it looks like this:

[somber hemlock]

I recommend you use OOP and create a Frame subclass for each screen. When the Submit is pressed you just forget the placement of first frame and pack the second one

Plus the place is a very bad manager, use pack, much better

[somber hemlock]

You can implement some sort of basic page navigation using this

[digital rose]

Will try it thanks

[ripe shuttle]

Possible in KivyMD

Something like this (mainly talking about the except parts) should work, right?

try:
     #ban code 
except Exception as e:
     if "Unknown ban" in str(e):
           await ctx.reply("That user is not banned.")

Hey guys, I was just wondering if I could make a terminal game where you can move the player's position based off of the input that you put in. I have tried many things but they haven't worked, so here is the base I have so far. ```py
board = [
".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".",
".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".",
".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".",
".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".",
".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".",

".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".",
".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".", ".",

]

player = "O"

board[0] = player

run = True

while run:
print(f"\n\n{board}")

movement = input("\nEnter In Either W A S D To Move Your Character Or Enter In E To Exit This Program:  ")

movement.lower()

if movement == "w":
    pass
elif movement == "a":
    pass
elif movement == "s":
    pass
elif movement == "d":
    pass
elif movement == "e":
    run = False
else:
    continue```

[digital rose]

I think that python is not suitable for this as it would be slow to handle such matrices. You could try numpy as it can make matrix work little fast. But, if you insist on making it using python, there is a keyboard library available.
here is a reference article link :

You can probably make some adjustments to the toolbar to suit your needs.

[somber hemlock]

Its literally a mobile toolbar, how can I "make some adjustments" to make it look something completely different

[ripe shuttle]

If you prefer then you can make a custom widget inheriting the MDBoxlayout class to create what you desire. You might get better responses in the kivy and kivymd discord groups.

[swift halo]

In curses how can I read the current value of the attribute?

Like, I can turn them on and off with attron and attroff, but how do I know if it's on or not?

I wanted to make a context manager like this:

with attr_ctx(screen, color_pair(PAIR_ERROR)):
    # show error somehow, in red

but the problem is, if I set the given attribute to off at the end, nested colourings will break:

with attr_ctx(screen, color_pair(PAIR_ERROR)):
    # show error somehow, in red...
    with attr_ctx(screen, color_pair(PAIR_ERROR)):
        # something else that happens to be red
    # oops, we're not red anymore

So I'd like to remember the attribute state before changing it

[swift halo]

I guess one solution would be to keep some kind of global tracker of the attribute stack...

hello everyone 🙂 noob here
i am interested in qt. do you guys think it's better to learn c++ for it, or is python good enough?

[sudden coral]

Qt for Python is already quite powerful.

[tight ice]

Personally, I would recommend learning C++ for qt as its much easier to create deployable executables, and you can always have a python backend

[pliant yarrow]

Learning curve for C++ is pretty steep. If you already know some Python start with that and if you get stuck you can learn some C++. At the very least you'll not be attempting to learn both C++ and a UI framework all at once.

[eager viper]

Best practice for large scale PyGame projects?

As a simple starting place — if I have multiple screens, I should obviously implement each screen as a class. Should each element on that screen be a class as well? Put another way, should I implement a large and complex UI as an object model, or, should each element on each screen be implemented as a semantically named method on the screen's class

hi i was trying to make a library mangement app using pyqt, and i want something in a place where that i can show information about the books, but i don't know what i should use?

[eager viper]

Question about using a model-view-controller type setup

The model is an object of, in this case, the gameworld. The view is an objective representation of the interface (not quite an object model — a set of classes for each screen, with methods for drawing the individual elements)

Should the controller consume events, normalize them, and pass them off to the model and view to be consumed

Or, should it consume the model and view, and directly modify them as input is registered?

[vague parcel]

You can try QTableView to store the book information in a model and display a table widget. You can then connect your action buttons to manipulate the model and update the table

[lone axle]

dude how can i row span that ?

[mighty frigate]

@lone axledo you have an example of what you want ?

[lone axle]

i already know how to do column span but not row span

[lone axle]

yes wait

this is with tkinter but i'm using pyqt cause i think it's much easier and better

[mighty frigate]

in the view bottom left you want book infos ?

one book ? all books ?

[lone axle]

at first that part is clear and there is nothing in it, but after clicking one of the button, based on that button there will be info in that part

[mighty frigate]

give me a few examples of that.

[lone axle]

if the user uses view all it will show info about all books, but if the user searches or adds a book it would only one book

[lone axle]

wdym ?

[mighty frigate]

give me at least 2 example of what you expected to see on button click

in that view

ok got it

can this be anything other than a list of books ?

[lone axle]

view all = gets all of the books from database and it will show them in that part
search entry = it will get the value of those LineEdits and search the database based on those and will show book(s) in that part

[lone axle]

no

[mighty frigate]

alga is right

[lone axle]

maybe other than the book info it would say removed book or added book

[mighty frigate]

QTableView for the view, QAbstractTableModel for the model, QSortFilterProxyModel for the filtering

[lone axle]

hmm. ok ty

what about row span ?

[mighty frigate]

why would you have row span

you have 4 fields to display, so 4 columns

I don't see why you would need row span

anyway, row count, col count and how to serve each (row, col) is decided by the model (here QAbstractTableModel )

[lone axle]

i'm not using any model in my app, and i don't even know model is... 🤦‍♂️

[mighty frigate]

QTableWidget will work too

that's just... well uglier I guess ?

[lone axle]

it's fine, i'm not really trying to make a app for other people, it's just what my teacher wants

btw how do you insert or like put text into the tableview ?

[mighty frigate]

with the model

view/model in Qt is fairly advanced, you absolutly need to read about it if you're going to use it

going in without doing it won't go well

QTableView and QTableWidget have a setSpan function

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtableview.html#setSpan

@lone axleif you're going to use model/view -> https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/modelview.html

it's in cpp but it doesn't matter too much

Qt api is pretty much the same in cpp and python

[lone axle]

i read the second link you sent to me, cause i fixed the row span without the setSpan,

but now my problem is how you put stuff in the TableView

[mighty frigate]

as I said, datas in views are handled in the model

as opposed to widget, in which you can add things a lot more easily

[lone axle]

but i'm not using the/a model 🤔...

[mighty frigate]

than you do'nt have data, and there's nothing in the view

if you don't want to look into model/view, use QTableWidget

[lone axle]

for the box part or the window ?

[mighty frigate]

the box part I guess ?

look at the doc

Qt doc is nice, read it

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtablewidget.html#details

[lone axle]

i did read it, i didn't see any code that is why i was confused

[mighty frigate]

look at the link I just gave you, there's code

cpp code that is

but the principle is the same in python

[lone axle]

oh hmmm

ok so i think everything is correct but no item will be added to the table

books = cl.find()
books = list(books)
if len(books) <= 0:
    print("There are no book")
    box.setItem(box.rowCount(), box.columnCount(), QTableWidgetItem("There are no books"))
else:
    for book in books:
        print(book)
        box.setItem(box.rowCount(), box.columnCount(), QTableWidgetItem(F"{book['title']} ~ {book['author']} ({book['year']}) [{book['isbn']}]"))
``` i'm doing it this way

[mighty frigate]

you might when to use QTableWidgetItem::setData with a custom role (for example with the isbn) to be able to identify your rows later one

Hi !

Im looking for a bit of guidance for a user interactive python script im writing for LDAP.

print("Welcome to LDAP")
print("What do you want to do?")

user_task = input(" 1) List Users \n 2) Add New User \n 3) Delete Current User \n 4) Edit Current User")

if user_task == 1:
    list_users()
elif user_task == 2: 
    add_users()
#Etc 

def list_users():
    os.system(.........)

What i am planning is to have 3 functions that will be called based on which option the user picks (list_users.... etc) and then within the function, do whatever is needed (if they want to add a new user, within that function there will be more prompts to enter their details and then write to the server from there.)

Is this the best way to go? Or is there a better solution to this ? ive read about argparse as a possible solution but the example i had seen was to write everything within one main script and make the user to pick the option based on the choice they picked when running the script

For example
python3 ldap.py -h list_users

[raw sedge]

hello

[smoky needle]

First, you need to get argument of that command

import sys
print(sys.argv[1]) #should print "list_users"

Then you need to get function, you need to use. For that, use dictionary of keytype string (identifier) and function (actual function to run), something like this:

def list_users(): pass # just defined them for example, use what you want
def add_users(): pass # this to lol :D

FCMAP = {
    "list_users": list_users, # parsing function as variable == function without brackets
    "add_users": add_users
}

For running specific function from map use this syntax:

FCMAP["list_users"]()

Then you just combine these things and result is this:

import sys

FCMAP = {
    "list_users": list_users,
    "add_users": add_users
}
FCMAP[sys.argv[1]]()

Hello! I have a Tkinter question. How can I code a label that it is changing its x position while the program is running?

[somber hemlock]

when does it change its position? or is it like animated?

animating a label would look foolish btw

[north lark]

i wanted it to be animated

why would it look foolish?

[somber hemlock]

why would u want a label to keep moving?

is it like a game?

anyways, you can use .after(delay, callback) to place the label at its next position after every delay milliseconds, without blocking

@robust jungle So, this is a stripped down example of how I would incorporate a QRunnable/QThread example:

class Worker(QObject):
    def run(self):
        for _ in range(10):
            print("hi, this is where your long running function would go")

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()

        self.button = QPushButton(self)
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.button_action)
        
        self.threadpool = QThreadPool()
    
    def button_action(self):
        worker = Worker()
        self.threadpool.start(worker)

So the Worker will run in a new thread thanks to the QThreadPool we add it to. Your button_action() will create a worker and kick off the thread.

I find this is the simplest way to get something threaded with pyqt.
I find this is a really good guide for how to get started with it: https://www.pythonguis.com/tutorials/multithreading-pyqt-applications-qthreadpool/

[robust jungle]

Thank you so much. however, Is it possible to put the button on another thread so that it is displayed on the screen? Because there is still a delay, and your method don’t fix this delay.
I pressed the button several times and the messages were sent with a delay. I need it to work exactly the same way but without the delay

[mighty frigate]

@robust junglecould you explain your problem again pls ?

what are you trying to achieve

[robust jungle]

I have a problem with pyqt, actually with a timer there. My code includes the timer (it's updating every 100 milliseconds) and a button. It's is one thread. However when I try to press the button , I have a delay and it freezes. A code which is connected to the button starts working in a second. As far i understand i need to make two threads i made test-class for this but i don’t understand how do this right.

[mighty frigate]

please show me some code

also, why do you need threads again ?

[robust jungle]

bc I have a delay, mate. I know that threads can help me to fix it

[static cove]

Can you share your code with my recommended fix?

[mighty frigate]

it depends on how it's implemented

pleaes show a minimal sample to reproduce the issue

I'll take a look if you want

[robust jungle]

wait

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/epusurigoy

@mighty frigate@static cove

[static cove]

So that's not using my recommendation

[mighty frigate]

@robust jungle can't access the url, corporate firewall isn't happy with it

oops wrong person my bad

[robust jungle]

I used Qobject instead Qthread

[robust jungle]

I can send a txt file, if you want

[mighty frigate]

with

class TestClass(QRunnable):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
    def run(self):
        print('hello')

no delay

my guess is request is taking some time to fetch whatever ressources you're pulling

and that's what's freezing your main thread

and not the click on the button

btw updating the prices every 100ms is overkill and you'll probably get blocked by whatever API you're using

if anything, it's the price request you need to thread

or at least that's what I'll try first if I were you

[robust jungle]

no

it is all right

Don’t worry

[mighty frigate]

I mean that's not a question. whatever man.

that's not the point

do have questions about the rest of my answer ? Does that make sense to you ?

[robust jungle]

pls wait

I am trying

to do this

[robust jungle]

Is it possible to put the button on another thread so that it is displayed on the screen?

[mighty frigate]

no, UI have to be handled in the main thread

as I said, try to fetch your ressources in another thread.

[robust jungle]

ok, just a second

[robust jungle]

@mighty frigate@static cove I output the price to another thread, but I don't know how to connect it to the label

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/lototiparo

[mighty frigate]

create your own signal, emit it in the worker after the fecthing, and catch it in the main thread

Is there anything I have to change?
Currently I am importing like this:
from PyQt6 import QtCore, QtGui, QWidgets

[past cradle]

Hi,
can you recommend some good tutorials on how to combine large and dynamic gui with functions from other classes / modules used with cli?
I would like to keep the code in order and I am already making a mess and I have the impression that I am going in the wrong direction 🙂
I use pyqt5 if that helps 😛

Hi i need some help with the turtle graphics library. None of the commands that alter the turtle itself work for me. Is there someway i can reinstall it?

PyCharm
Python 3.10.7 32bit

i specificly would like to hide the turtle but the turtle.ht() and turtle.hideturtle

[ripe shuttle]

I am not familiar with your library but if you wish to reinstall it then in pycharm you will see an option of packages. Open it and search for your library. Click on it an then click on uninstall. Alternatively, you can open a terminal window and type pip uninstall <package-name>.
Afterwards you can install using whichever method you used previously.

guys i have a question i was using kivy to develop an app and i am making a request to an url which is ofc blocking and i want response from this request to display in my gui so i understand i need to use threading to thread the requested but how do i wait for the result and obtain the response

[tribal path]

there is a built in UrlRequest which is threaded; othwrwise you don't wait if you want to thread you act on the response

[dire zenith]

How can I make a QMessagebox return the Dialog or Main app that spawned it rather than it minimising the whole app?

I'm using PyQt5

[earnest dagger]

then how to use say someother blocking function or lib like say for example a translation of a word from a third party lib its bound to be blocking so how to thread and get the result so that ui is not blocked

[tribal path]

at the end of the function assign the returned obj to a property or call a mainthread decorated method (/ call a method with the Clock)

[earnest dagger]

can u show an example with just a basic one like say requests.get

that would be pretty helpful

[tribal path]

from kivy.clock import mainthread
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.properties import StringProperty

class T(Widget):
    text = StringProperty()

    def _thread(self):
        Thread(target=self.run_thread).start()

    def run_thread(self):
        response = request.get(...)
        self.set_text(response.text)

    @mainthread
    def set_text(self, text):
        self.text = text

...

[earnest dagger]

hmm ic 👌 thanks a lot 🙏

[mighty frigate]

@dire zenithcan you rephrase this ? what are you trying to achieve

[digital rose]

How do we connect front and back end (in collab)??

Hey guys! I'm working on a little cli project where you move a character around and also push a box around as well, but in this cli project when the box hits a wall or a corner and you try to go to it's position then it over rides the player, I instead want it to not be pushed any more and act as a wall if it can't be moved any more. Any help would be appreciated! Here is the script: https://pastebin.com/nawrQsK7.

It's very simple...

[sleek hollow]

Does anyone know of a way to hide the text of a QListWidgetItem? I'm using setItemWidget in my list to show custom elements, but I still want to be able to sort. It sorts correctly when I provide text to the QListWidgetItem, but then I get extra text showing up. Looking for a way to either hide that text, or provide an alternative sort method to the sortItems method

[sleek hollow]

Ended up inheriting from QListWidgetItem and overriding __lt__ to get access to the custom widget

[mighty frigate]

@sleek hollowAs soon as you want to do something a bit more complex than the default behavior with those kind of container, you need to implement a model/view. Here, a QAbstractListModel as model, a QSortFilterProxyModel for sorting and a QListView for the view.

and if you need it a QStyledItemDelegate for customizing items in your view

ping me if you need more infos

[sleek hollow]

Yeah I was on the fence about going model view for this one. I'm not very experienced with that approach and haven't found too many good examples/tutorials/writeups of good implementation

[mighty frigate]

@sleek hollowit's... a lot to unpack tbh. The learning curve is kind of steep. I can give you some of the things i've done with it as example but it will be in cpp

[sleek hollow]

I played around with it a bit a few weeks ago and didn't really get much farther than a basic list of strings displaying in a listview and combobox

but coupling that with itemWidgets being displayed on top was a big leap

[mighty frigate]

itemWidgets doesn't exists in view/model

[mighty frigate]

in short, the model represents your data,
the sortproxy model allow you to implement sorting and filters for the data in that model,
delegate allow you to customize the painting of the item itself in the view
and the view is - well - the view

[sleek hollow]

this was what I ended up doing

and it worked out great, but yeah, it's a bit more work to manage overall state of things

[mighty frigate]

yeah

on the other hand, the delegate to draw those item is dreadfull

[sleek hollow]

I have a ton to learn about qt when it comes to drawing events

I'm not even entirely sure what a delegate is

[mighty frigate]

you have to draw those radiobutton and that spinbox by hand

and it's annoying to do

[sleek hollow]

It wasn't too bad. It all got built into a QWidget with a simple hbox layout

and then assigned to the listwidgetitem

[mighty frigate]

yep because you used the itemwidget impl

it doesn't exist in mocel/view you have to manage your own custom roles and your own drawing of items

[sleek hollow]

so is there no model view solution that allows me to implement radio buttons/spinbox like that in a listwidget?

[mighty frigate]

there is, but it's a bit heavy to write

[sleek hollow]

I'm happy with what I have for now since that list won't ever be longer than like...50 items max

but yeah, I'm curious to learn more about model view

[mighty frigate]

yeah

the only real downside to your solution is it's way heavier on runtime

because of all the widgets you had to create

[sleek hollow]

I don't have a good sense of what's "too much" yet

but it runs pretty smoothly

[mighty frigate]

for a list of 50 items it should be fine

[sleek hollow]

I just need it to spit out a quick json

[mighty frigate]

I started having problems with big fat treeWidget, that's when I started to learn about model/view myself

[sleek hollow]

how do you create the data stored for the model? I was only doing it with strings

but how do you go beyond that?

Do you create a custom class for the data being displayed?

[mighty frigate]

as member of the subclass of your model

[sleek hollow]

I'm going to have to look more into this later, I actually need to head out now 😦

But this has already been super informative!

I appreciate it!

[mighty frigate]

struct BenchmarkEntry
{
    QString name;
    QString exe_path;

    QVector<benchmark::BenchmarkEntry> benchmarks;

    BenchmarkEntryModel() : QAbstractListModel() {

    }

    ~BenchmarkEntryModel() 
    {
        this->save("C:/work/temp/benchmark.json");
    }

    void add(benchmark::BenchmarkEntry const& e)
    {
          // .... code is too ldiscord
    }

    bool removeRow(int row, const QModelIndex& /*parent*/ = QModelIndex())
    {
          // .... code is too ldiscord
    }

    int rowCount(const QModelIndex& /*parent*/ = QModelIndex()) const { 
        return (int)benchmarks.size(); 
    }

    QVariant data(const QModelIndex &index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole) const {
        if (index.row() >= this->rowCount())
            return {};

        auto&& entry = benchmarks.at(index.row());
        if (role == Qt::DisplayRole) 
            return entry.name;
        return {};
    }

    void save(QString const& filepath) 
    {
          // .... code is too long for discord
    }

    void load(QString const& filepath) 
    {
          // .... code is too long for discord
    }
};

[sleek hollow]

I'll see if I can make sense of this later, haha

[mighty frigate]

yeah sry

[sleek hollow]

I don't know c++ at all (other than reading the qt docs)

[mighty frigate]

I don't think I have an example ready in python

[sleek hollow]

c++ qt docs are so much better than the pyqt ones

[mighty frigate]

but Qt use the exact same APi for python and C++

[sleek hollow]

yes as long as I can follow what's being instanced and methods called I should hopefully be able to follow

alright gotta run!

ty

[mighty frigate]

yes. and as you said if you manage to vaguely understand Cpp, the official Qt doc is a treat

[somber hemlock]

Qt API is fairly easy to understand (like JUCE) it doesn't use a lot of fancy C++ mumbo-jumbo

[mighty frigate]

that's true, it uses its own fancy mumbo jumbo, but it's the same on all platform and languages :p

[shadow mural]

my youtube converter is finally done :D

first project in pyQT5

• Playlist support
• resolves the video IDs
• uses yt dlp to convert them
• is probably illegal

[unkempt quail]

question... does a text based interface count too?

[digital rose]

do you accept critics

[shadow mural]

yes ofc

[digital rose]

Alright

so there's a huge empty space on the interface and it feels kinda uncomfortable

and also this pink'ish red in my opnion doesn't combines with the background color very well, i may be wrong

this one is 10/10

[shadow mural]

yes, youre not the only one who said that, the gap used to be even bigger, however im very uncreative so i dont know how to lay it out properly. the pink looks red in my eyes red=youtube xD

[digital rose]

oh

[shadow mural]

i have the blue filter on maximum maybe thats why

[digital rose]

ohh i see

[shadow mural]

oh now isee what you mean

[digital rose]

also the textbox itself has a good design, but the pink text is sometimes not readable for me

if i move my eyes a little bit the text disappears

by the way what is these buttons for

like, in which context

[shadow mural]

remove = removes selected element from the list
clear = clears the list

[digital rose]

alright perfect

so i think these bbuttons can go below the videos playlist

[shadow mural]

used to be, but then the gap gets bigger

this is an older version

[digital rose]

cuz theres 2 CLEAR buttons so for me its unclear

[shadow mural]

youre right. im so used to the app that i didnt notice that :D

[digital rose]

;)

[shadow mural]

but when i change the text i have to change the button size. im so lazy xd. its not for the public anyway even though its on git

[digital rose]

ohh

personal use then

i see

[shadow mural]

there are enough good youtube downloader guis out there. i used this project to educate myself on the use of pyqt5

[digital rose]

is it working 100%?

[shadow mural]

yes, except mp4

[digital rose]

gosh i would like to use one of these so much

even knowing its illegal

[shadow mural]

i can send you the link to my git in dm, then you can build it yourself

[digital rose]

alright

i would appreciate it

[crystal igloo]

If IDM is allowed to download videos AND music from YouTube, that's definetly not illegal

If you'd describe your problem one might be able to help. Don't ask to ask...

[warm compass]

btn = tk.Button(App.screen, text='hi', width=10, height=10)```
That button seems to use scaling of the screensize to make the size of the button is there anyway to make it go off pixels instead of scaling off the screensize?

Good GUI framework for python?

[steel shell]

!d tkinter

[proven basin]

tkinter

Source code: Lib/tkinter/__init__.py

The tkinter package (“Tk interface”) is the standard Python interface to the Tcl/Tk GUI toolkit. Both Tk and tkinter are available on most Unix platforms, including macOS, as well as on Windows systems.

Running python -m tkinter from the command line should open a window demonstrating a simple Tk interface, letting you know that tkinter is properly installed on your system, and also showing what version of Tcl/Tk is installed, so you can read the Tcl/Tk documentation specific to that version.

Similar names: label.tkinter

[crisp rivet]

I would not call tkinter "good", but if you want to do something quick like then it's acceptable.

print(target.x/2,target.y/2)
pyautogui.click(target.x/2,target.y/2)

if target == None:
  print('don't see')

else:
  pyautogui.click(target)
  time.sleep(0.02) 

why dose it just wiggle in the to left corner of my screen ?

[open pagoda]

@karmic swift i would recommend starting with tkinter as its very easy to learn. Then you can move onto pyqt5 for more complex gui designs with css. You can find tutorials for them on youtube

Can you suggest a versatile alternative

[true wolf]

is there any way to write clean code for tkiner? or some classes?

writing button after button and assigining variables is soooo messy

[somber hemlock]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/17470842
This is the best advice till date I got about structuring tkinter applications.
Tkinter has obviously no design patterns like MVC or MVVM used by real GUI frameworks, so you need to emulate the ideas used by them

[true wolf]

i was there, disliked the answer

[somber hemlock]

Why?

[true wolf]

cause its not using oop for anything

its same as he would use functions

duh

I did wrote myselft some gui builder, but honestly its hard to write clean code for tkinter

it was ok, till I had to make new window and end up just writing element by element

[mighty frigate]

@true wolfnot saying you're wrong, but more and more recognized people are saying that oop was a fade and isn't a good practice after all

[true wolf]

All I was able to do with OP is to define some basic behaviour and expand it a bit in my gui. But all I go tis saving app params and loading them :d. Other good reason for oop is to keep all field and methods in class name space, thats just easier typing

[crisp rivet]

IMO if you want a GUI for a serious application then you might as well go all in and use a web based frontend with FastAPI as glue.

[still ember]

Hello, I want to make a tkinter button, that goes DISABLED after pressed, and when the function it runs ends, the button would get back to NORMAL, how could I do that?

[somber hemlock]

There's no better pattern than OOP for GUI

[somber hemlock]

How is it not? What else would you want?

[mighty frigate]

@somber hemlockbold statement

personnaly, idk. I'm not good enough to be sure of it.

[proper jetty]

I use customtkinter, I hope this is similar. You can try

def button_pressed():
    button.configure(state='disabled')
    # your function
    button.configure(state='normal')

[somber hemlock]

GUIs with FP would be no better than what beginner tkinter tutorials look like

[mighty frigate]

questionnable, but also FP and OOP aren't the only 2 paradygms out there

[somber hemlock]

However I think inheritance can be replaced more and more with composition which is what frameworks like React do

[mighty frigate]

now I say that but tbh I've learn with Java, meaning to me programming has been mostly OO for most of my carrier. So most of the things I write is OO

[somber hemlock]

Make code modular instead of building a huge chain of abstractions

[proper jetty]

I am writing an app to extract PDF data to later store in excel files. Code is "done", now just implementing the UI.
I want to add checkboxes or a list to select from the table headers. These should filter which data will be stored to the .xlsx.

How can I write this? Some files will have 5 columns, some have 6, so hard coding the checkboxes seems wrong.

Also, currently I have not used classes for the app, I have to implement this down the line

[still ember]

Thanks, got the problem solved earlier, I use custom tkinter too.

[somber hemlock]

You should take a look at tksheet

Not sure if that's what you need but its like a miniature excel in itself

!pip tksheet

[proven basin]

tksheet v5.4.1

Tkinter table / sheet widget

[proper jetty]

Thanks, that looks like it could work. I had a terminal showing all data, probably looks better to have it actually as tabular data

[proper jetty]

Displaying data kinda works. My problem now is how do I increase the columns shown? As seen in the terminal 2 columns are missing, even though I set

total_columns=len(tHead)```
Which should set it to 6

The original Sheet(...)bis Set so column 0 and columnspan=3, should I just increase that?

[charred oracle]

Can Python be used to facilitate eye tracking with an eye tracking device such as Tobii?

[true wolf]

why do you even inherit from tk ? ;d

[somber hemlock]

wdym

I don't generally inherit from buttons and checkboxes

only for frames

one solid reason is lifetimes are better maintained in python than in tk

when you make self.btn1 instead of just adding one in root space, the button gets a lifetime

[true wolf]

then store them as field?

I dont see any reason for inheriting

[somber hemlock]

how else would you divide your gui into multiple frames?

sure you can just do it all in a single space

but that means a ton of locals, which again is bad

[true wolf]

i use class

but not oop

[somber hemlock]

when you inherit you get to use the Frame or whatever widget directly

the container widget doesn't require a separate instance variable

[true wolf]

and you flood your class scope with other names, and you dont want flood local with names :LUL:

[somber hemlock]

bindings become simpler, extending becomes possible

[true wolf]

whats extending?

[somber hemlock]

also control variables have a scope which they auto inherit if you are inherit from a Frame or whatever

[somber hemlock]

adding your own methods to a Frame

[true wolf]

?

ah ok

[somber hemlock]

which can be callbacks as well

its upon you at the end of day what to choose, composition or inheritance

[gaunt root]

tkinter help plz

[eager abyss]

What do you need help with?

[gaunt root]

How do u make it so the backup of ur gui changes every 15 seconds

Background*

[eager abyss]

@gaunt root You can create a function that will select and display a random background from a list and then use the tk.after() method to call that function every 15 seconds

[true wolf]

oh wait, that could be actually handy for storing and reading varaibles ;D
