[sleek hollow]

because the functionality I was expecting from QMainWindow has been lost

[mellow hemlock]

ooh

[sleek hollow]

class MyWindow(QMainWindow):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

window = MyWindow()
window = QMainWindow()

with this super call, that original functionality has been restored

and now these 2 are identical again (not including any arguments)

[mellow hemlock]

ooh now i understand

thanks lot!

[sleek hollow]

np!

[mellow hemlock]

Sorry for the ping 😅 but in the tutorial he used _ in front of the attributes like self._evaluate. Is there a specifc reason for that?

[somber hemlock]

nope

[mellow hemlock]

so is that like a convention like using args and kwargs?

[somber hemlock]

Nope

In python its just a convention for private variables. Its purely semantic as no such restriction exists in python

[mellow hemlock]

what does private variable mean

a var for only the method?

Also all the tutorials i watched were using pyqt5 and it seems that there is pyqt6 now. Are there many changes between the versions? Or do i need to relearen pyqt6

[somber hemlock]

private is a keyword in many OOP languages, which is used to make attributes inaccessible from a class instancs

[somber hemlock]

No there's not many changes API wise. You should surely prefer PyQt6 over 5

[mellow hemlock]

so just changing import pyqt5 to pyqt6 should not break the program?

[somber hemlock]

It depends on what you are using

There's some changes like shifting over to longer enum names only. If your pyqt5 code uses the shorter names you'd need to change them to longer ones

[mellow hemlock]

Is there any documentation that lists the changes between the versions?

[somber hemlock]

Yea

[mellow hemlock]

wait ig that would be too much stuff to read XD

[somber hemlock]

There's a comparison of the two on pythongui.com

[mellow hemlock]

Also using the pixmap,

self.photo.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap("img\example.jpg"))
This did not open the image while the one below worked

self.photo.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(r"C:\Users\ABC\Downloads\Pyqt\img\example.jpg"))

Is there any specific reason for that?

the guy in the video was using the above syntax and it was working fine for him

[somber hemlock]

Beware while using relative paths

[somber hemlock]

Every python file exposes a __file__ attribute. Use it with pathlib.Path to provide a location of your image

[mellow hemlock]

could you show me an example? 😅

[somber hemlock]

I'm on my phone. you could begin by printing __file__ in your code to know what I mean

[mellow hemlock]

alright

one last thing

what is a good way to play videos

QMovies is not working for me for some reason

            movie = QtGui.QMovie(r"C:\Users\thapa\Downloads\Pyqt\img\example2.mp4")
            movie.start()```

this is what i did

[somber hemlock]

Error?

[mellow hemlock]

it isnt throwing one

how do i make it throw one?

wait i just made one and it says

Error: Invalid Video file

its just a .mp4 file tho? It works fine when i open it

[somber hemlock]

dunno haven't use qmovie

[mellow hemlock]

what would you recommend i use?

Hi I'm trying to create cols ans sub-cols but i cant figure out how to add sub cols to this

cols = ('1', '2', '3')
main_col = ttk.Treeview(output_frame, columns=cols, show='headings')
main_col.heading('# 1', text=' ')
main_col.heading('# 2', text='FA1')
main_col.heading('# 3', text='FA2')
main_col.pack()

Expected format 1st img

[silent river]

how can i make text wraping in customtkinter checkbox?

there is no option for wrap

[somber hemlock]

Just open the video in the system media player ig

[vivid trout]

hey guys

what gui's you guys using thats free...need to do some stuff with opencv...

[sleek hollow]

Looks like it's already been cleared up that _ in front of a name indicates that its private, but what that means is that this attribute should not be accessed from outside this class

[lone fog]

i have a concept that i need help developing, been tinkering for a few hours and can't get it.

The concept: I need to display OpenCV video stream over a server, and on the client where the server, it needs to display the video with PyQT. ALSO, the frame data must be bundled in a dictionary with 8 or 9 other values. The format: [0,0,0,0,0,0,videoFrame]. here's where it gets really complicated. The videoFrame is going: server-->client, while the other data points are going client-->server. This is for controlling a drone btw

Any ideas?

[weary grove]

Hey, I'm new to PySide2 (and UI libraries in general), i have this widget but it is not executing after a specific line, and no error is being raised so i am super confused, if anyone can provide me with a hint, then that would be wonderful..

The line
legend.setMarkerShape(QtCharts.QLegend.MarkerShapeFromSeries) is silently crashing and i cannot figure out why, i have added two print statements, one above and below, the one below this never executes, and because of this, my window immediately closes if i try to run it.

P.S when i comment out the offending line then the window executes properly

source:
https://privatebin.net/?3809ffdee3def527#CJ6QxBiwYQciedxpvsxQosp58BWsutHBnmHGP2FUggGr

[sleek hollow]

Haven't used QChart before, but the docs seem to indicate that you're not supposed to manually instantiate the QLegend. You should access the existing one from your QChartView

chart_view = QtCharts.QChartView()
legend = chart_view.chart().legend()
legend.setMarkerShape(QtCharts.QLegend.MarkerShapeFromSeries)

No errors when trying this (except for your setLegend line later which isn't a valid method)

[covert rock]

@sleek hollow in how many different files do you split your GUI logic. because I'm with only one right now, and I'm already at 200 lines lol

[sleek hollow]

Depends on the overall complexity of what I'm doing really

We have like 30 or so files in the project I'm on now for our main GUI, but having multiple files also really allows for multiple people to work on it seamlessly

It has a lot of different features though. 200 lines is not a lot 😬

[covert rock]

damn. I just look at that number and think of how cumbersome would it be for someone else or future-me to figure it out

[sleek hollow]

It's a struggle for sure, but you really only need to look at what currently is of interest to you. I can quickly jump from file to file in pycharm by ctrl+clicking a module if I need to know more about it

or I don't even really need to know how a certain class works. I just know I have to instantiate it and the rest will work correctly. For example, the functionality I'm working on now exists in a separate tab so I don't really need to interact with other features other than using a few custom widgets

[covert rock]

the way I'm thinking is to divide the logic in two files for better organization. one for the main window, and another for the dialogues

also, I use VSCode. I wish I'd started with PyCharm but by now, my workflow is so integrated into VSCode structure, keybindings and custom themes that I can't transition lol

[somber hemlock]

You can view a module's code by ctrl+click in vscode too

[crude estuary]

[frank drum]

I'm at decision-point when it comes to the choice of UI for Python. Basically there are 3 realistic routes: 1) tkinter, 2) webapp (py websocket+JS app), 3) pyside/Qt. - I've done large py apps in tkinter before and I've promised myself not to do it again. I've done webapps, very flexible and standard, but for py devs, doing CSS and JS can be daunting. Doing Qt is yet another programmed UI as tkinter and one I have only glanced at. -- Anyone here that would share their preference here and why?

[somber hemlock]

Tkinter is out of question for anything better than ultra simple utilities. If you are comfortable with webapps, that option is the best imo. There's also a host of libraries like Pynecone, streamlit, plotly dash, nicegui that relieve you from all the JS mess. As for Qt, use it only if you can stick to Qt Widgets. I had some pretty bad experiences with QML. You also got to think about licensing with Qt.

[coral dawn]

Any good graph modules?

to represent large Wikipedia data?

[mellow hemlock]

matplotlib 😆

[covert rock]

matplotlib, for 90% of things is too much

it's too cumbersome and complex to use

Plotly is better for basically all non-academic use cases

[wide gorge]

customtkinter.CTkButton(
    root,
    text="START",
    command=threading.Thread(target=run).start,
    width=20,
    corner_radius=180,
    font=customtkinter.CTkFont("DOGMA.ttf", 25)).place(x=430, y=250)```
why the font doesn't change ?

[weary grove]

thanks a lot !

[covert rock]

@sleek hollow can you help me understand a reply I got on stackoverflow?

[somber hemlock]

where is your run method?

[sleek hollow]

Depends what it says

[covert rock]

oh, sorry. I kind of got it already. wanted to pull my hair out but managed to understand it

basically this is what I posted

I have this code in which I create a number of QCheckBoxes through a loop:

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

        self.setWindowTitle("My App")
        self.dbutton = QPushButton("Press ME")
        self.dbutton.setEnabled(False)
        self.button_state = 0

        self.checkbox_layout = QFormLayout()
        for i in range(5):
            self.checkbox = QCheckBox()
            self.checkbox.toggled.connect(self.enable_button)
            self.series_info = QLabel(str(i))
            self.checkbox_layout.addRow(self.checkbox, self.series_info)

        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        layout.addWidget(self.dbutton)
        layout.addLayout(self.checkbox_layout)

        widget = QWidget()
        widget.setLayout(layout)
        self.setCentralWidget(widget)

    def enable_button(self):
        print(self.checkbox.isChecked())

What I'm trying to do is to get the state of the specific QCheckBox that is triggering the signal to the enable_button slot, but I'm getting this weird behavior, where The state is show as False until all buttons are enable, but then it immediately flips to False as soon as just one of them is unmarked, as shown in the gif below. How can I fix this?

the gif

their reply

I got it that the only checkbox that is called "self.checkbox" is the last one, so only the last one changes the state

using self.sender or a lambda function worked

one thing though

his lambda function is wrong

doing exactly as he did gives me this error>
NameError: name 'chk' is not defined. Did you mean: 'chr'?

[sleek hollow]

I don't think they were writing exact code to match your question, they were just giving an example

but that example (and the explanation) also indicates that it shouldn't be an instance attribute

you shouldn't be naming your checkbox self.checkbox

[covert rock]

that was one thing I was wondering: why? I the last examples you gave and that I've seen in the PySide book I'm using, they use self.checkbox. why that isn't appropriate? and it's not appropriate only here on in general?

[sleek hollow]

because of the looping nature of creating them

there's no reason to hold onto those references outside init

in fact looking at my previous example here, I had the same thing. The widget being created in a loop is not an attribute

[covert rock]

ah yeah

it is inside the subclass, but not inside the MainWindow class

[sleek hollow]

No it's in the main window class

for i in range(10):
    new_label_check = LabelCheck(f"Label {i}")
    self.label_layout.addWidget(new_label_check)

I'm talking about this

new_label_check is my widget

it's not self.new_label_check

[covert rock]

yeah, that was what I meant

in the main window class, you don't use self.

only in the init of the subclass

[sleek hollow]

do you understand what self. indicates?

[covert rock]

it's an attribute of the class instance

[sleek hollow]

yes

attributes are features of a class that need to be accessed elsewhere

[covert rock]

as in, outside the class inner workings, right?

[sleek hollow]

or elsewhere inside the class

you don't use self outside a class, you would use the instance name

but you also typically shouldn't refer to attributes directly

they should usually be controlled through methods

since you were creating self.checkbox in a loop, that meant that after the loop, self.checkbox only referred to the last created checkbox, which is kind of pointless

so instead, the solution was to pass the checkbox widget as an argument to the method that gets called

but in doing this, there's zero reason to also use an instance attribute, so a local variable was used instead

[covert rock]

I see

out of curiosity

even if I didn't put the self, the only widget called checkbox would still be the last one made right

[sleek hollow]

yes, but that's ok because local variables are cleaned up after the function call

[covert rock]

ahhhhh

[sleek hollow]

if you used self.checkbox, you'd have an attribute floating around that never really needs to be used

[covert rock]

okay okay

got it

another hypothetical. if i needed to keep track of which of those checkbox is which, I would append them to a list, and then look them up with a loop, right? in that case, should I still not use self. ?

[sleek hollow]

the list would be self.whatever_list, but the created checkboxes can still be local

[covert rock]

alright

[sleek hollow]

also when I have a lot of checkboxes, I usually end up using a checkable combo box

see if that maybe fits what you need

it's a dropdown with toggleable items

or even a checkable list

which nicely handles scrolling for you too

[covert rock]

oh yeah, in the main program, it's a QScrollBar

this is a another file in another venv that I use to test and mess around to see what work without having to worry about hundreds of lines of code

like

small problems first, then the big problems

[sleek hollow]

Yeah I usually work on my custom widgets separately and then integrate them into my main ui

unless it absolutely needs a data feed from the main ui

I also really like using keyPressEvents for debugging if I want to test things that would normally take a lot of clicks

[covert rock]

that question on SO was worth alone to learn about the sender() method

Qt is so freaking expansive it's mind boggling

[sleek hollow]

yeah it's a lot

I knew about sender but haven't really needed to use it

[covert rock]

tbh, I still don't know a lot of Python. I knew about lambdas in theory but never used them

never felt the need to

[sleek hollow]

they're pretty niche

great for giving arguments to button clicks like in pyqt

great for sorting keys

that's about all I use them for

[covert rock]

seems liek the best use cases yeah

again, thank you so much for being so helpful

[sleek hollow]

np!

[covert rock]

you make this insane stuff so much easier to understand

[sleek hollow]

I still have a ton to learn too

[covert rock]

rather than having to stare at the docs for hours until I get it lol

[sleek hollow]

I've been using pyqt for maybe a year and a half?

[covert rock]

that's quite a while

btw, now it's working exactly as I wanted

https://i.imgur.com/tyR7guD.gif

[sleek hollow]

very nice 🙂

[covert rock]

something that forces at leas one checkbox to be checked for you to be able press the button

[sleek hollow]

yeah I use that a lot when I need certain things filled out before a certain button can be pressed 🙂

[covert rock]

I could just proof the method that responds to the button out of that

but it's better to enforce this kind of compliance imo

[sleek hollow]

Yeah, it's up to you. I've also done it in the past where if you click the button and it's still missing information, it can display a little warning about why it didn't work

[covert rock]

yeah. btw, I think I asked you this before, but do you like moomins? because you avatar reminds me a lot of them

[sleek hollow]

Haha I had no idea what they were until you mentioned them before

[covert rock]

they are one of the most adorable and wholesome stuff ever

[covert rock]

how can I make this QPlainTextEdit not be this stupidly large?

preferably resizable

[sleek junco]

I see the pins in here, but I'm new to shit area so asking here anyways. I have a ton of data for a game I am aggregating. I'd like to have a web interface where I can select items in the interface to use as variables in the code I am running. What do y'all recommend to accomplish this?

Oh, I also have some charts and graphs I'd like to display based on user input as well.

[somber hemlock]

do you want it to be multiline? If not, use QLineEdit

[covert rock]

I do want it to be multiline.

[somber hemlock]

what layout are you using?

probably QFormLayout?

[covert rock]

yep

[somber hemlock]

try setting the stretch factor to the same values probably

[covert rock]

I have no clue how stretch works

I tried messing with it but nothing seemed to change and I couldn't make heads or tails from it

also, stretch factor of what? the layout or the text editor?

@somber hemlock

[somber hemlock]

The layout

i only have a really rough idea, since i use the designer to get the layout right (+ xml for UIs is like a blessing)

[covert rock]

QFormLayout doesn't have stretch attributes lol

[vague parcel]

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qformlayout.html#insertRow-3 add row accepts a layout as well. Wrap your line edit widget in a QVBoxLayout, you can then add the stretch to the nested layout

[covert rock]

okay

[covert rock]

now how does stretch works?

I have no clue

[vague parcel]

It fills the space between the textbox and your next field

Layout = QVBoxLayout()
Layout.addWidget(your textbox)
Layout.addStretch()
YourFormLayout.addRow(1, label, Layout)

[covert rock]

addRow only takes 2 arguments

[vague parcel]

Sorry I meant inserRow

[covert rock]

now there's this massive unused space here lol

[vague parcel]

You can control the stretch https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qboxlayout.html#addStretch

[covert rock]

this is the part that I never understand

I try to put numbers inside the parenthesis but nothing changes

[vague parcel]

Or add a https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qspaceritem.html using addStretch

Or set a max or min height to the input widget

[covert rock]

addStretch=10, addStretch=20 and addStretch=50 respectively

no changes to the unused space

adding stretch is not the way to fix this issue

[vague parcel]

That’s not how the factor works https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/layout.html otherwise add the stretch object so that you can control how it expands

[covert rock]

well, these are the C++ docs, and I don't know anything about C++, so that link really is all Greek to me 😅

alright

using setFixedHeight(), on the QPlainTextEdit object solved it

sucks that now, there's these massive empty spaces between everything, even though the layout alignment is set to AlignTop and AlignLeft

[sleek hollow]

You don't need the stretch to fix this if you're also using set fixed height on the text edit

[covert rock]

I removed the stretch

it only has the set fixed height

but there's still this huge spaces of nothing

[sleek hollow]

Either set the qformlayout's alignment to aligntop, or add a stretch to the end of the form

[covert rock]

the alignment is set to aligntop. this is why I'm so stumped about it

I mean, it should work

there's literally no reason for it not to

[sleek hollow]

I'll be back at my pc in about 30 min and then I can have a look

[sleek hollow]

It's puzzling the alignment isn't actually having any effect on this....

the solution that does seem to work though (and I'm honestly not certain why this works), is to simply add a new empty widget as the last row

I would expect the new widget to share the stretch with the other rows, not completely overtake it

main_layout.addRow(self.step_1, self.url_box)
main_layout.addRow(self.step_2, self.folder_button)
main_layout.addRow(self.step_3, self.download_button)
main_layout.addRow('', QWidget())

[covert rock]

it nuts lol

I'm almost posting this on SO so the psychotic nerds over there can help me figure it out

[sleek hollow]

at that point I'd probably just do a vbox layout with my own custom "row" widgets

[covert rock]

yeah

[sleek hollow]

Even though I pointed out the usefulness of QFormLayout, I've honestly never used it in any of my UI

[covert rock]

so vbox with a bunch of hbox stacked

lol

[sleek hollow]

Yeah. If you need to dynamically add/remove any of those rows though, I would make sure to wrap each row in a widget first

I've run into some weird bugs in the past trying to add/remove layouts dynamically from another layout

[covert rock]

nah, this is something I doing quick for my mom

she isn't the most tech savvy person

even navigating simple GUIs is hard for her

so I'm making things as explicit and obvious a spossible

hello

I have a problem with my Word Contents page

is anyone experienced in that dept

[covert rock]

do not ask to ask a quesiton

just straight up ask it

it's faster that way, because then we will understand what you mean

yeah so basically the page numbers stop working after a section and i'm not sure why

and yes i have updated table and page numbers

[somber hemlock]

Cool, you made a website

[velvet perch]

finally finished my prompting library 😊

[covert rock]

why use this instead of PyQt or PySide?

[quartz dust]

I'm trying to use pynput in a game to move the mouse cursor then press with the mouse, when I use the actual mouse it works, but with pynput it doesn't click when it's moved at all. The thing is I have an auto clicker with the same module that works fine. So, what could the issue be for this, any help would be appreciated.

[somber hemlock]

Licensing (+ familiarity with tkinter)

PyQt is GPL, PySide is LGPL (partly). CustomTkinter is CC0-1.0

Qt as a whole, is moving to closed source since v6

[covert rock]

how so?

[somber hemlock]

Because Qt is commercial

Its the decision of the owning company

[covert rock]

not what I'm asking

in what way is it moving to closed source?

what has changed and is changing that shows that

[somber hemlock]

it has stopped providing patches to KDE

Which is a violation of the Qt's agreement with KDE

[covert rock]

what's KDE?

[somber hemlock]

Look it up

[covert rock]

I did. still don't get the relevance

[somber hemlock]

Its not relevant unless you understand its implications 😄

Which matter a lot unless you wanna get wrapped in legal battles

[covert rock]

that's why i'm asking you

I don't understand the implications

[somber hemlock]

That's okay, since all things don't apply to all people

I am no lawyer either

[covert rock]

does that matter to a schmuk like me who makes programs for personal use?

[somber hemlock]

Nope, its more of a distribution thing

But not everyone make programs for personal use, right?

[covert rock]

yeah, of course

I just thought that, when you said they were moving to close source, they would literally close off access to all libraries to everyone that didn't pay

[somber hemlock]

They could do that, and it seems they are on the path to do so

Qt's corporate owners have been openly hostile to the community for a while, and have been trying to get away with shady stuff. The license terms for commercial use are terrible, you need an active license to distribute existing software, not only develop new software, the prices are excessive and keep increasing, and once you get a commercial u...

how would yall create a gui that can swtich between pages? im getting different answer when i search for it

[sleek hollow]

Depends on the library. Generally you build a "page" using some sort of frame or empty widget, then add/remove the frames from the layout as needed

[warped shuttle]

tkinter

[sleek hollow]

Yeah, so you put everything you want as a page into a Frame, and then add it when you want to display it, and remove it when you don't

There isn't really a "nice and easy" way to handle many pages, you'll have to code up some sort of page manager yourself

most UI is just a form of trickery

[granite acorn]

root = tk.Tk()


def keypress(event):
    if event.state == 12 and event.keycode == 88:
        print("save")


text = tk.Text(root)
text.pack()
text.focus()
text.bind("<KeyPress>", keypress)

how can i have a button which commands the same function?

There's a section for them in the site

[sleek hollow]

I wouldn't recommend it. Handle the inputs separately and then those functions can call the same function

def key_press(event):
    if event.state == 12 and event.keycode == 88:
        save()

def button_press():
    save()

save would be the function that both those input functions handle calling

Yeah it seems like the PyQt Fluent Widgets guy is just adding custom styles to a frame. Weird to not also make those stylesheets easily accessible as part of the package supposed to make Qt look like a modern Windows 11 app but TBH there's a lot of stuff missing from it in general 🙁

You can set the string var's value to None to deselect the radio buttons. The value of the stringvar controls which radio button is displayed

Hi, I have python code that i built from a pyqt designer file. I made multiple windows, theyre all working seperately in this format:

class Ui_HomePage(object):
    def setupUi(self, HomePage):
      #some code here
    def retranslateUi(self, HomePage):
      #some code here

   if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    HomePage = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_HomePage()
    ui.setupUi(HomePage)
    HomePage.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

but i have multiple objects of this format, how would i go about switching between the different screens?

[somber hemlock]

Qt Widgets has no notion of page navigation (unlike QML). However a QStackedWidget should do the job

[pure cloak]

tysm! How would i implement that?

[somber hemlock]

you have a navigation menu on the left, say a listview of "links". you bind the signal of the listview item index getting changed with the appropriate slot of the QStackedWidget to change the page shown in it.

For example, a settings dialog would have categories on the left, layed out in a list widget. On the right their would be a formlayout showing the settings for that category

is there an easy way to make clickin the QLabel checks the check box in the same row? I'm using a QFormLayout?

I tried looking for it, and QLabel doesn't seem to have a "clicked" signal

[ebon cairn]

it works with mousePressEvent

[covert rock]

okay but how?

like, from what I'm seeing in the docs, theres no property that tells you what widget was clicked

and how do I implement it?

I have no idea how to do this -_-

[vague parcel]

You need to create a new class that inherits from QLabel. Then add the mousePressEvent or release method https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qlabel.html#mouseReleaseEvent. When the label is clicked in the method you can toggle the checkbox. You can pass the checkbox name or instance in the label class constructor

[ebon cairn]

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QFormLayout, QLabel, QCheckBox
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt

class Example(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        layout = QFormLayout()

        for i in range(5):
            label = QLabel(f"Label {i}")
            checkbox = QCheckBox()

            label.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)
            label.mousePressEvent = lambda event, cb=checkbox: cb.setChecked(not cb.isChecked())

            layout.addRow(label, checkbox)

        self.setLayout(layout)
        self.show()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication([])
    ex = Example()
    app.exec_()

[covert rock]

ah, the widget itself has the event, so I just needed to method it. thank you!

also, using the inverse of the current state of the checkbox as the argument is proper brilliant. very nice!

[covert rock]

how, after pressing the OK button of a QDialog, can I make my QMainWindow to be completely reinitialized?

ie, basically run the __init__(self) again

[sleek hollow]

create a method other than __init__ that "initializes" your instance and call that instead

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setup()

    def setup(self):
        #Put all the other stuff you had in init before

[covert rock]

and how do I call that from the dialog as it closes?

like this?

manga_init_state is the slot for the OK button

it seems like it's working for what's worth

[sleek hollow]

yes, you can connect to the close signal of the qdialog

depending on how the dialog is meant to close, you can also create "Accept" or "Reject" buttons for the dialog and get the result

[covert rock]

because like

and this is a context just so I can get your opinion on something

the idea is, since this program reads from a json, if it's the first time running it, there won't be json

so I'm excepting a json associated error and initializing one of the dialogs, that adds the manga subscriptions and settings jsons. then after closing the dialog, I need the qmainwindow to reload to properly initialize

it's like a "first time use gimmick"

[sleek hollow]

Use a separate check then. Don't even show the window until the json has been validated

[sleek hollow]

but either way, this should work

[covert rock]

how?

this is how I'm doing it

[sleek hollow]

then put the json checking stuff in a separate method

don't do it all in 1 massive method. Separate out your logic

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self, json_path):
        super().__init__()
        self.load_json(json_path)
        self.setup()
        

have a method used for handling json loading

and the self.setup can't be reached until the json is fully loaded

[covert rock]

the thing is

settings = Settings() is what is loading the JSON

it's part of the class

and I need the main window to read from that, because every time the user adds or removes a subscription, it will add or delete one to or from the JSON

so it display proper information

at most

the load_json method would just be there to check if there's a JSON present

[sleek hollow]

I don't see what's stopping you from doing that with my solution?

[covert rock]

instead of initializing the class proper

[sleek hollow]

it's up to you where and when you validate the jsons existence

it could be part of load_json

it could be it's own separate method

[covert rock]

is there some way to check for the json existence other than excepting a bad open()?

[sleek hollow]

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self, json_path):
        super().__init__()
        self.initialize_json(json_path)  # Handles creating new json if json does not already exist
        self.load_json()  # Loads in json data
        self.setup()  # Populates rest of UI with json data
        

[sleek hollow]

!d os.path.exists

[proven basin]

os.path.exists

os.path.exists(path)```
Return `True` if *path* refers to an existing path or an open file descriptor. Returns `False` for broken symbolic links. On some platforms, this function may return `False` if permission is not granted to execute [`os.stat()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat "os.stat") on the requested file, even if the *path* physically exists.

Changed in version 3.3: *path* can now be an integer: `True` is returned if it is an open file descriptor, `False` otherwise.

Changed in version 3.6: Accepts a [path-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-path-like-object).

[covert rock]

ah okay

in my mind, from my admittedly limited understanding, self.load_json() is unnecessary, since the Settings() class instance will already do that

it's part of the class initialization

[sleek hollow]

sure, it's up to your specific needs

but this is just an example of how to split up the tasks

[covert rock]

so something like

[sleek hollow]

in general, avoid large multi-task methods

especially with UI tasks that you think will need to be repeated at any point

because then you can easily assemble a "reinitialize" method

[covert rock]

def __init__(self, path):
  super().__init__()
  json_exist = self.json_check(path)
  if not json_exist:
    self.first_time() # a QDialog
  else:
    self.setup()

[sleek hollow]

what happens if the json file doesn't exist? Does it have to go fetch data from somewhere else?

[covert rock]

if the JSON doesn't exist, it will run self.first_time()

[sleek hollow]

but what exactly does that do?

[covert rock]

which is a QDialog that creates the two jsons, one for subs and one for settings. it also adds at least one sub to the subs json, and the basic "metadata" dictionary to the settings json

[sleek hollow]

ahh ok

should be ok then

[covert rock]

so both the Settings() and Mangas() classes initialize properly the next time around

[sleek hollow]

Check if files exist
If it doesn't, do first-time setup
Load json and populate UI
Show UI

[covert rock]

yep

thank you as always Fash!

[covert rock]

hey @sleek hollow that thing we came up with to reload the main window isn't working

here

number 1 is the json that is populating the subs, number 2 is the subs management, showing it is populated

now, as you see, I cleared the JSON

now, if I click Go, even with an empty textbox, it should run set as show by number 1

but even so, they the objects continue

[sleek hollow]

There's likely some other flaw in your logic

take some time to debug with prints

there's likely a value that isn't what you think it is

[covert rock]

this is the first thing in setup

so, by calling self.parent().setup it should read from the json again and populate the subs with it

[sleek hollow]

you're saying that's what it does but thinking your code does a certain thing and it actually doing that thing are different

that's why I'm saying to debug with prints

[covert rock]

yeah, I'm looking into it

at least I've comfirmed that the self.parent().setup() does reinitialize the main window

alright figured it out

basically, the already loaded subs from the og JSON never gets cleared

so, I had to change some functionalities

but now it works

[sleek hollow]

ahh well there you go 🙂

[covert rock]

yeah because like

I'm not storing the class instances, aka the subs, in a list inside the window logic

but rather inside a class variable inside Mangas itself

[sleek hollow]

yeah, it's smart to manage the actual performance of the UI from another class

the UI just lets you drive things

[covert rock]

and since that never gets touched when the window reloads, it's just kept in memory even when setup() is run again

so, I had to add an actual list inside the main window logic

[covert rock]

from this 👆

[sleek hollow]

you could add a method in the Manga class for clearing

[covert rock]

to this

or that

yeah

that actually sounds smarter

so I won't have to rewrite code

[sleek hollow]

yeah, sounds like a useful method regardless of UI

anything specific to manga should be in the manga class

[covert rock]

so

a method that just clears out the whole registry?

this has to be a staticmethod

yep, perfect

clears the old registry on reinialization

with this, the program is basically done

now I just need how to properly use QListView lol

[sleek hollow]

Model/View took me quite a bit to wrap my head around

[covert rock]

yeah

I mean, I could just make a grid layout and do it like that

[sleek hollow]

@covert rock This was the tutorial that really helped me understand model/view

https://www.pythonguis.com/tutorials/modelview-architecture/

This has you write your own custom model class, but there's a lot you can do just with the QStandardItemModel

[lament flame]

pyqt5 vs tkinter which is better?

[analog shale]

nice question. I need in answer too

[sinful pendant]

Here are my experiences:
(Mostly have used tkinter and less of pyqt6)

1. Tkinter has limited widgets pyqt provides a vast amount of widgets

2. Styling tkinter widgets is limited, it can be extended though with ttk but the interface will be more like the classic window gui style. Pyqt provides much more styling to the widget

3. Getting familiar with tkinter is easy for pyqt it takes a bit more time.

4. Variety of modules are there to extende the style of tkinter widgets but they might cost the performance of the app.

5. Learning tkinter is easy than pyqt

6. If you want to go ahead with it for advance i will suggest pyqt

Here, pyqt = PyQt6

what algorithm/data are you using? just the price points from the time series?

it seems that the model isn't trained or that's some bad gaussian extrapolation

ive got historical prices of common foods and then 3 predictions, 2 are just based on rates and then simple linear regression on the whole thing

i don't really know, but IMO pricing of securities needs to use exponential methods. then the continued average would be a little closer.

what is file?

Also using the names index and i in your enumerate loop is quite confusing

for i, content in enumerate(file) would make way more sense

also the insertion index has to be a string

insert_index = f'{i}.0' (if using my example of i)

[ruby crystal]

mm sorry my bad

[ruby crystal]

file is a list of tuples that i got from a database

i in the enumerate loop is each of those tuples

[ruby crystal]

record_text.insert(1.0, f"name: {file_name}, age: {file_age}\nconditions:")
    for i, names in enumerate(file):
        record_text.insert(f"{i+3}.0", f"{names[0]}")

now i have this
but it's still broken

all the data from the loop is inserting on the same line

i want to display a label on gui. The GUI that I made is a platform which is one of the functions for adjusting the windows volume. I separated the script for the GUI and the script for volume control. Incidentally the Slider on the GUI can adjust the volume. My problem is that the label that displays the percentage of volume value doesn't appear. Here I show the two files.

    def __init__(self):
        self.root = customtkinter.CTk()
        self.root.geometry('1050x600')
        
        self.label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self.root, text="Volume Setting", font=("Nunito",15))
        self.label.grid(row=10, column=1)
        self.var = customtkinter.IntVar(value=getCurrentMasterVolume())
        self.scale = customtkinter.CTkSlider(self.root, from_=0, to=100, variable=self.var, command=setMasterVolume, orientation="horizontal", button_corner_radius=3, button_length=20)
        self.scale.grid(row=11, column=1)

volume = cast(interface, POINTER(IAudioEndpointVolume))

root = customtkinter.CTk()
def getCurrentMasterVolume():
    return round(volume.GetMasterVolumeLevelScalar() * 100)

def displayCurrentVolume():
    selection = str(getCurrentMasterVolume()) + "%"
    vol_label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(root, font=("Nunito",15))

def setMasterVolume(value):
    scalarVolume = value / 100
    volume.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar(scalarVolume, None)

The method for displaying a percentage of the volume is found in displayCurrentVolume(). I really need help. Please help me.

Could anyone advise on using PySide6 at all please? I'm trying to load a UI from file.

I have a MainWindow with some functions decorated with @Slot(), I'd like the buttons e.g. in the form to be connetced to these functions, without doing it all in code. I get no warnings when I load the file, but my slot doesn;t seem to fire. Is there any documentation on how to od this? Thakns

best to convert .ui to .py

[neat granite]

guys, how do you run multiple method from a class in GUI button? (including the init method to the execution method)

[sleek hollow]

there's no limit to how much you can connect to a signal

which GUI library?

[neat granite]

costumtkinter

[neat granite]

can you give example?

[sleek hollow]

sorry that example was specific to pyqt

but you could have 1 main method that triggers other method calls

def send_clicked_signal():
    func1()
    func2()
    func3()

button = tk.Button(command=send_clicked_signal)

[neat granite]

class test:
    
    def __init__(self):
        ....
    
    def func1(self):
        ...
    
    def func2(self):
        ...

what id i want to run all the method as above on one button?

[sleek hollow]

you would never call init from a button press

class Test:

    def send_clicked_signal(self):
        self.func1()
        self.func2()
        self.func3()

    button = tk.Button(command=self.send_clicked_signal)

it's not really much different from a class though

you'll just need self to access the inner method calls

[neat granite]

so init cant be called from button?

[sleek hollow]

no, init is called on object instantiation

you never explicitly call it

[neat granite]

class Test:

    def send_clicked_signal(self):
        self.func1()
        self.func2()
        self.func3()
    def method2(self):
        self.func4()
        self.func5()

    button = tk.Button(command=self.send_clicked_signal)

how about this? if i want to call both function in one button.

[sleek hollow]

call self.method2() from send_clicked_signal

class Test:

    def send_clicked_signal(self):
        self.func1()
        self.func2()
        self.func3()
        self.method2()
        
    def method2(self):
        self.func4()
        self.func5()

    button = tk.Button(command=self.send_clicked_signal)

[neat granite]

Okey thanks

ohh, one more thing

class Test:

    def send_clicked_signal(self):
        self.func1()
        self.func2()
        self.func3()
        self.method2()
        
    def method2(self):
        self.func4()
        self.func5()

class gui:
    
    def __init__(self):
        button = tk.Button(command=self.send_clicked_signal)

how about this?

[sleek hollow]

You need to instantiate Test as part of the gui class to access it

it's a pretty vague example though

it really depends on what you're actually trying to do and your code structure

class Test:

    def send_clicked_signal(self):
        self.func1()
        self.func2()
        self.func3()
        self.method2()
        
    def method2(self):
        self.func4()
        self.func5()

class gui:
    
    def __init__(self):
        test = Test()
        button = tk.Button(command=test.send_clicked_signal)

it would look roughly like this, but again, it depends on your exact structure

but even better would be this

class Test:

    def send_clicked_signal(self):
        self.func1()
        self.func2()
        self.func3()
        self.method2()
        
    def method2(self):
        self.func4()
        self.func5()

class gui:
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.test = Test()
        button = tk.Button(command=self.on_btn_clicked)

    def on_button_clicked(self):
        self.test.send_clicked_signal()

[neat granite]

okeyy, thanks for explanation

Tkinter Combobox messes up words that have space (" ") in them ?

It's adding {} around it

like if a word is "test one"
It shows {test one}

[sleek hollow]

can you share a reproducible example?

[ruby crystal]

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
import sqlite3

con = sqlite3.connect("test.db")
cur = con.cursor

names = cur.execute("SELECT name FROM Person").fetchall()

selected_name = tk.StringVar()

chose_name = ttk.Combobox(opening_frame, textvariable=selected_name, state="readonly", values=names_list)

chose_name.pack()

con.close()
cur.close()

cur.execute("INSERT INTO Person(name, age) VALUES(?, ?)", (name, age))
con.commit()

this is how i insert data

[sleek hollow]

I'm not really sure about sql, but just testing with adding names to the combobox definitely doesn't insert any {}

try using some print statements as you fetch the names from the db and before you add them to the combobox

Sounds like you might have an unprocessed f-string or some other weird string manipulation going on

that's definitely not an expected behaviour of the combo box though

[ruby crystal]

i've printed everything 🙂
data is without {} when i'm adding it to combobox

[sleek hollow]

where do you update the combobox?

[ruby crystal]

name_var = tk.StringVar()
name_combo = ttk.Combobox(adding_frame, textvariable=name_var, values=names_list)

i get my names from this

cur.execute("INSERT INTO Person(name, age) VALUES(?, ?)", (name, age))
con.commit()

this gets them into database

names = cur.execute("SELECT name FROM Person").fetchall()

this get the names from database

names_list = sql_funcs.get_all_names()

this calls the sql function which is in sql_funcs file
and gets the name

print(names_list)
and i printed it
it's without {}

[sleek hollow]

can you show a screenshot of the combobox displaying the issue?

[sleek hollow]

can you show the print of names_list?

[ruby crystal]

[('amir reza',)]

[ruby crystal]

[('amir reza',), ('amirreza',)]

this is how it gets without space too

[sleek hollow]

it's because you have a list of tuple

It is actually peculiar that it adds the {} around words with spaces. I'm not sure the cause, but the fix is to flatten your list of tuples

[ruby crystal]

yup
you're right

thank you
it was a pain for days 😅

[sleek hollow]

np! 🙂

[neat granite]

guys, anyone can fix this issue?

[digital rose]

i dont use tk anymore but here uve got a dupe line

[neat granite]

I actually changed the script like this.

        self.label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self.root, text="Volume Setting", font=("Nunito",15))
        self.label.grid(row=10, column=1)
        self.toggleBtn = customtkinter.CTkButton(self.root, border_width=2.5, border_color="red", text_color="red" , text="Mute Off", font=("Ubuntu", 12), command=self.toggle_mute)
        self.toggleBtn.grid(row=11, column=3)
        get = GetSound()
        self.var = customtkinter.IntVar(value=get.getCurrentMasterVolume())
        self.scale = customtkinter.CTkSlider(self.root, from_=0, to=100, variable=self.var, command=get.setMasterVolume, orientation="horizontal", button_corner_radius=3, button_length=20)
        self.scale.grid(row=11, column=1)
        self.vol_label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self.root, font=("Nunito",15))
        self.vol_label.configure(text=get.displayCurrentVolume())
        self.vol_label.grid(row=12, column=1)

the problem remains the same

[digital rose]

what actual problem are you experiencing

[neat granite]

it should when i adjust the volume on the slider, it should show the sound proportion value label below the slider.

in the code i shared the label is not working properly.

[digital rose]

i think for the label to actively display the volumes current value you need to connect the label to the slider.

Kinda like that.

# SOUND CONTROL
self.label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self.root, text="Volume Setting", font=("Nunito",15))
self.label.grid(row=10, column=1)
self.toggleBtn = customtkinter.CTkButton(self.root, border_width=2.5, border_color="red", text_color="red" , text="Mute Off", font=("Ubuntu", 12), command=self.toggle_mute)
self.toggleBtn.grid(row=11, column=3)
get = GetSound()
self.var = customtkinter.IntVar(value=get.getCurrentMasterVolume())
self.scale = customtkinter.CTkSlider(self.root, from_=0, to=100, variable=self.var, command=self.update_label, orientation="horizontal", button_corner_radius=3, button_length=20)
self.scale.grid(row=11, column=1)
self.vol_label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self.root, font=("Nunito",15))
self.vol_label.grid(row=12, column=1)
self.vol_label.configure(text=get.displayCurrentVolume())

def update_label(self):
    get = GetSound()
    get.setMasterVolume()
    self.vol_label.configure(text=get.displayCurrentVolume())

you could probs use a lambda to pass 'get' instead of instantiating it again as well.

sound = Sound() would be better too.

[neat granite]

okey i'll try

[digital rose]

I believe the sliders command gets executed every time its value changes. this is why ud need to connect the label to the slider. or as i did, connect a method and have verious things happen in said method, if needed ofc.
The other way would be to thread the label and have it in a loop where it continuously checks for the vol value, if not same as stored one, update label... but this is ofc not necessary since the other approach will suffice.

but anyways. best of luck.

[neat granite]

still error dude

do u know what that simple error means?

[digital rose]

ye ik that. im asking if u can see what the issue is?

[neat granite]

No. Please explain for me

i think the issue in get.setMasterVolume()

missing 1 argument

done dude

Problem solved. thank you very much

[digital rose]

ok so the first error was update_label was missing an arg. this arg was being passed by the slider by default. said arg being the value of the slider.
so we fixed that by adding an additional arg to the update_label method. hence error went away.

but by doing so and no longer directly having the slider call on get.setMasterVolume, the sliders default arg(its value), is no longer being passed to setMasterVolume
so in the update_label method, you need to add the value arg to get.setMasterVolume(), like get.setMasterVolume(value)

[digital rose]

good stuff.

[neat granite]

thanks for explain

hi

i have made an app that records your medical conditions

it's for my cs50p course

it's a little long
but i would appreciate if you would give some feedback on style of my code and if there is something wrong

https://github.com/amirreza8002/medical_recoed/blob/main/main_page.py

i'm rather new so it might be not pretty
it'd be very helpful if you have some tips on that

[silver idol]

Hello there. I need to create GUI for the software that modifies specific text-containing files. However, the files also have description of 3D models that I would like to visualize. What would be the best pick for that? What framework pick? For the explanation: I need to be able to modify the 3D model and it ought to be reflected in the file

[somber hemlock]

PyQt / PySide has a 3D module. If you have a parser which can serialise / deserialise into the model Qt expects, you are good to go.

[silver idol]

Okey, I picked PySide. The raw data are just xyz coordinates, e.g.

x      y       z
1.23  2.23   1.48
0.53  3.11   2.48

and I would like to read them and generate 3D spheres at these centers

[somber hemlock]

I am not familiar with Qt 3D

[silver idol]

(other thing) - Why I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/widget.py", line 43, in button_clicked_hard
    message.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox.Ok | QMessageBox.Cancel)
TypeError: 'PySide2.QtWidgets.QMessageBox.StandardButton' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

in that part of the code:

def button_clicked_hard(self):
  message = QMessageBox()
  message.setMinimumSize(700,200)
  message.setWindowTitle("Msg Title")
  message.setText("Something happened")
  message.setInformativeText("Do you want?")
  message.setIcon(QMessageBox.Critical)
  message.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox.Ok | QMessageBox.Cancel) 
  message.setDefaultButton(QMessageBox.Ok)

[silver idol]

Oh, ok

[split ridge]

does tk suck?

[ruby crystal]

it has it's uses
if you want to go over the limit, then it won't work

[digital rose]

[silver idol]

Hey, need your advice. I use PyQt and need to make separate window apart from the QMainWindow that is a 3D canvas. Upon clicking in it, a 3D sphere shall be created at the point of click. How could I do that? There are literally no tutorials or I just cannot find it ! Appreciate help

[deep python]

hello

which is the best ide for python according to you guys

[mighty rock]

Not notepad

Preferably has syntax highlighting and welcomingly suggests auto completions

[tribal path]

notepad++ it is then

[ebon cairn]

it is https://thonny.org the best ide for beginners

[tiny eagle]

+1 for Thonny for novice programmers.

For experienced programmers, PyCharm is fantastic.

[gilded raven]

Hello, I want yo create a GUI for a software that I need but I see we can do with different framework like tkinter or Pyside, is It worth it to learn them all or I need to stick just with one? Thanks

[mighty rock]

Stick with the one you want to work with

[gilded raven]

Yes but I don't really know what's the difference like there is a better framework?

[mighty rock]

tkinter has a reputation for having ugly graphical elements but there's tkinter.ttk which provides modern versions for some elements and some new elements

I don't know much about the rest besides PyQt using Qt and hence lets you use everything you can use in Qt

[ebon cairn]

each framework has pros and cons, depending on the project

[topaz depot]

I am making a duplicate file deleter, does this UI look good ( I will style it later).
This program is not ment to be user friendly but I don't want it to be a pain to work with.

I am using PyQt6

Btw you have to scan first, then execute deleter
Any suggestion for improvement? (make sure to ping me in the replys)

[glossy fiber]

i have a couple models running, i interact with local apis to get audio data that i render in this front-end streamlit app.
Right now i have to click to play audio, is there any good and/or easy ui tool that would play audio automatically?

[ebon pasture]

hi, i just want to know how i could display colored emojis in combobox tkinter please, it shows just colorless ones,
and if it's possible to display images instead, i tried but it only shows 'pyimage2' or stuff like this,
Here's my code for emojis

loade= [emoji.emojize(':yellow_circle:'), emoji.emojize(':red_circle:'), emoji.emojize(':green_circle:')]
priority_combobox = Combobox(root, values=loade, state='readonly', width=8, height=8)
priority_combobox.current(0)  # Set the initial index to 0 (first element)
priority_combobox['justify'] = 'center'  # Center-align the text
priority_combobox.place(x=350, y=630)``` 
Heres my code for images: 
```python
red_photo   =  ImageTk.PhotoImage(file='img/Red.png')
yellow_photo=  ImageTk.PhotoImage(file='img/yellow.png')
green_photo =  ImageTk.PhotoImage(file='img/green.png')
loaded = [red_photo, yellow_photo, green_photo]
priority_combobox = Combobox(root, values=loaded, state='readonly', width=8, height=8)
priority_combobox.current(0)  # Set the initial index to 0 (first element)
priority_combobox['justify'] = 'center'  # Center-align the text```

[sleek hollow]

I don't think tkinter combobox supports this 😦

[ebon pasture]

ohhh

[ebon pasture]

can optionmenu support it tho?

[ebon pasture]

hi, is it possible to display colored emojis in a listbox item tkinter?

[somber hemlock]

Functionality wise tkinter widgets are the same as their native equivalents. The native ones on Windows are particularly crap.

Its best to use icons or iconfonts for a consistent look

[sleek hollow]

I don't believe so either. Your options are trying to build a custom widget that simulates what a combobox can do, or use a more full-featured GUI library like pyqt5

[neat granite]

I have code like this.

from tkinter import filedialog as fd
import pandas as pd

class AcousticResponse():
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        
    def open_file(self): 
        """
        This function is to load the JSON file which is the values that will be used when 
        making measurements
        """
        filetypes = [("Json File", "*.json")] 
        filenames = fd.askopenfilename(title="Open File", filetypes=filetypes)
        df = pd.read_json(filenames)
        
    def SignalPath(self):
        APx = APx500_Application()
        APx.Visible = True
        APx.SignalPathSetup.OutputConnector.Type = OutputConnectorType.AnalogBalanced
        APx.SignalPathSetup.InputConnector.Type = InputConnectorType.AnalogBalanced
        APx.SignalPathSetup.Measure = MeasurandType.Acoustic
        input1 = APx.SignalPathSetup.InputSettings(APxInputSelection.Input1)
        input1.Channels[0].Name = "Mic"
        input1.Channels[0].Sensitivity.Value = float(df["sensitivity_value_mic"][0])

if I run the code above, the error name 'df' not defined appears. I need the df variable to be used in multiple methods. How can the df variable be stored as an attribute so it can be used in other methods?

[tribal path]

self.df = for use in other methods that share the same self ie the same instance

[somber hemlock]

@sleek hollow hey sorry for the ping, https://forum.qt.io/topic/145558

[sleek hollow]

what about it?

[somber hemlock]

I cant make Qt use the correct overload,

[sleek hollow]

Not too sure. I'm inexperienced with QAbstractItemModel

[somber hemlock]

its not about QAbstractItemModel

its about using the correct overload

[sleek hollow]

but I don't know what the correct overload is for it

[somber hemlock]

can I do something in the SIP / whatever PySide uses to bind?

[sleek hollow]

the overload signatures should be in the class documentation

[somber hemlock]

As I have mention in my question, the correct overload is the one using void* ptr = nullptr

[sleek hollow]

so would it not just be self?

value = self.events[row].value

also should this be .value()

with ()

[somber hemlock]

no. it is a property and part of my model

[sleek hollow]

kk, just checking

Really not sure then. It seems like a specific question to abstract item model which I don't really know enough about 😦

[somber hemlock]

its actually about Qt selecting the wrong overload

because I guess it cannot differentiate between a pointer and a reference type passed over from Python

so when I pass 1377 as a value, it actually thinks its an address

[sleek hollow]

maybe try using a QVariant

instead of value, use QtCore.QVariant(value)

[modest dagger]

Hello, I have installed pysimple gui demos: https://pypi.org/project/psgdemos/ and been exploring, now some of it doesn't work, I want to uninstall and start fresh, but I uninstall and reinstall but my chainges have remained. How do I remove the config/cache that is left behind so I can return the demos back to default?

[sleek hollow]

@digital rose Here's a rough outline of what that would look like

class Window:

    def __init__(self):
        ...
        self.config_win = None

    def show_win(self):
        if self.config is None:
            self.config = CustomTopLevel()
        else:
            self.config.deiconify()

I can't remember if deiconify is correct or if there's a better way to re-display an instance

it might be destroyed on close

ooookay

[wary flare]

Hi! I am new here , but i wanted to write, maybe i can understand better. I have created an .ui with QtDesigner and i want to make a plot inside of it. I have found about pyqtgraph that can be used inside, but i am not sure how can i integrate it in my ui because i have to code it. Can anyone help me with this one?

At the same time, i would like to ask about how could i integrate a plot with matpotlib. So that would be 2 questions.

[tepid condor]

Ello! If we're talking a picture plot then it's pretty easy I think, i don't know exactly but there should be some kind of picture container. I wanted to say about something more interesting - inserting an interactive plotly / bokeh chart. I recently did some projects with 'em and was surprised how easy it was. It's done by using QWebView container. Tell me if you're interested - I can provide more detail. If you want the picture format then it should be even easier.

[wary flare]

sounds fun! would i be too greedy to ask about both?

[tepid condor]

Okay, actually took 3 secs to google. You can insert a pic into a label using pixmap property to select the file.

[sleek hollow]

yup, label and pixmap to display an image in pyqt 🙂

label.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap('path/to/image'))

[tepid condor]

For inserting an interactive graph the steps I did are: 1. Create html plotly graph with parameter include plotly js = 'directory' 2. Place plotly.min.js library into folder that will be your output folder for html file (QWebView takes 2mbs max, if you include js lib into hmtl it is guaranteed > 3mbs) 2. your_web_view_widget.load(QUrl.fromLocalFile(path_to_html_file)

bokeh is even easier obviously because it doesn't use js

I actually got a question too. I wanna know if there are some GUI python libraries that are as big and stable as Qt (or at least close to it) but as good looking out of the box and as modern as flet. Flet is really cool but it's just too young to rely on it in every project.

Also I heard some things on the interwebz about Qt / PySide not having a bright future ahead of them.

[wintry oriole]

If I want to make a desktop Python app, is tkinter what I want for the GUI? Any other libraries?

[tribal path]

Can pick any, there's a few mentioned in this channels description

[bold mica]

is there a way i can make an tk.Entry read only?

[rich temple]

I have recently been using custom tkinter and it is amazing. They have great documentation on their github.

[wintry oriole]

that’s good to hear! i’ll check it out for sure then.

[uneven panther]

Kivy is a good library offers you a way to develop highly portable applications. Also it is free to use.

[uneven panther]

try setting it as disabled, and then change default colors to make it not look disabled. Also put text in there before disabling it.

[sleek hollow]

yeah if you want to still be able to provide text to it, create a function that enables it, adds the text, then disables it again

[young surge]

Does Tk.Button give any return values or does the event loop receive the return value but does nothing to it? I need one of the input values to be used in another extensive system of functions in another module and the only way for me seems to be making the variable saved by the button global

[somber hemlock]

what return value would a button give you?

[young surge]

I'd say using get it would give me a sort of value I can save into a variable

but I can't actually return it

say for instance I add in command that it runs get_value function

[somber hemlock]

You can do whatever you want in the button callback code

[young surge]

yes but here's the thing

the function is being called by the button itself

and the function returns the value

but the button doesn't actually use it

and so the return is basically useless

[somber hemlock]

can u show some code

just a small snippet of it

you are doing something wrong, because those two actions are completely different

[young surge]

I want to get Intensity

I need it to be sent as an input to an entirely different module

[somber hemlock]

And how do you think your code will return anything?

[young surge]

well yes obviously return isn't in there

hang on let me show you with return

[somber hemlock]

Well you should really look into using classes

but for now you could just use a lambda for the command parameter

A lambda which assigns to some variable

[young surge]

hmm alright thanks

[bold mica]

how can i add padding to only one side of a widget?

in tkinter

[sleek hollow]

I believe instead of an int, representing both sides, you can give a tuple

padx=(10, 0) would pad only the left

top one is padx=10, bottom one is padx=(0, 10)

[bold mica]

oh okay

[bold mica]

thanks so much!

I want to make a grid in tkinter that displays a list of books

I'd want the thumbnails to have a fixed size and the grid to be centered and wrapping, so basically dynamic depending on the window size

any ideas?

Use ttk.Combobox instead of Option menu

It has a built in scrollbar

[digital rose]

If a widget does not provide a signal that sends the current state, you will need to retrieve the value from the widget directly in your handler. For example, here we're checking the checked state in a pressed handler.

What is the meaning of "handler"?
Source: https://www.pythonguis.com/tutorials/pyqt6-signals-slots-events/

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

        self.button_is_checked = True

        self.setWindowTitle("My App")

        self.button = QPushButton("Press Me!")
        self.button.setCheckable(True)
        self.button.released.connect(self.the_button_was_released)
        self.button.setChecked(self.button_is_checked)

        self.setCentralWidget(self.button)

    def the_button_was_released(self):
        self.button_is_checked = self.button.isChecked()

        print(self.button_is_checked)

[sleek hollow]

the handler is the receiver of the signal

[digital rose]

ah, so its slot?

[sleek hollow]

pretty much

[digital rose]

right thank you

[sleek hollow]

you can use self.sender if multiple widgets signal to the same slot

[digital rose]

right

        self.button1 = tk.Button(
            self,  
            width = 32,
            height = 32,
            image = photoimage1, command=self.button_one)

        #self.button1.place(x=100, y=50,width=100,height=50)            
        
        click_btn2 = PhotoImage(file=r"C:\Dashboard\Workspace\python\services\second.png")
        photoimage2= click_btn2.subsample(3, 3)
        self.button2 = tk.Button(
            self,
            width = 32,
            height = 32,
            image = photoimage2, command=self.button_two)

[sleek hollow]

PhotoImages created in functions have to be attributes or stored globally or the image reference gets destroyed when garbage collected

[spice pecan]

Any other way to create image button?

[sleek hollow]

No, they will get destroyed

just name it self.click_btn1 instead of click_btn1. That creates it as an attribute

[spice pecan]

why not class variables keep the value

[sleek hollow]

you could do that too
