um im getting a thing like this if i run the program in another system

someone help

[rich salmon]

yes there is a reason I asked this question. I am making a login system. I inserted an image icon and my text is now hidden under it. I want text to move to the right a little bit. Im also gonna do the same with Password Entry Field.

Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, you can't do this with customtkinter. I had to switch my entry widget to tk.

[dark crater]

I use kivymd and get a KeyError: 'minute' when I try to read the text from a textfield, i can't figure out what the problem is
.kv

MDTextField:
            id: minute
            hint_text: "Minuten"
            mode: "rectangle"
            helper_text: "Maxmimal 59 Minuten"
            helper_text_mode: "on_error"
            input_type: "number"
            on_text: app.validate_input_min()

.py

    def validate_input_min(self):
        value = int(self.root.ids.minute.text)
        if int(value) > 59:
            print("Die Zahl ist zu groß")
        elif int(value) < -1:
            print("Die Zahl ist zu klein")

Thanks for helping

[dark crater]

I found out that the Textfield is in another class is, but when I try to print the Text I get this error message, AttributeError: 'kivy.properties.DictProperty' object has no attribute 'minute'

print(neueAufgabe.ids.minute.text)

[floral pine]

please help me to resolve this error -> StreamlitAPIException: There are multiple identical forms with key='test-1'.

[tribal path]

ids would only be populated within the rule they're defined in, regardless you can pass the value directly when calling the method

[hearty pumice]

Greetings. I have a requirement to write a cross-platform desktop app based on some notebook prototypes. I'm looking at ElectronPython, PyQt, and Kivy as potential candidates. I've used PyQt in the past, package management used to be unwieldy for it. What would be a preferred choice? Green field on the GUI part. The app uses pandas for calculations. Targets include MacOS and Windows for now. Thanks in advance.

(The app is to replace the notebooks because the end users are science savvy but not computer savvy, notebooks and Jupyter Hub are a bit too much for their brain power.)

[hearty pumice]

It looks like Kivy is the way to go -thanks anyway.

[tropic coyote]

hi, can you please help me with customtkinter?
when I run the file through the terminal , it shows no window at all

[frozen rampart]

@tropic coyote Try this.

[tropic coyote]

I tried it.
shows this

but there is no error on terminal or output

this is the complete window

this window was very difficult to screencap
it shows and goes away very fast

[frozen rampart]

Did you ever run a program using customtkinter on your pc

[tropic coyote]

no, this is first time.
however tkinter works fine.

[frozen rampart]

something is with the import

maybe dependencies

[tropic coyote]

I appreciate your support! thank you.
so there is no way to fix it?
if not, I will look into Pyside

[frozen rampart]

look if you have darkdetect

it says there is no module named darkdetect

last line

[tropic coyote]

yes, there is no module with that name.
I downloaded customtkinter code as Zip (and extracted it) from github and my python file is in same folder

[frozen rampart]

maybe try pip install customtkinter

if that works on windows

[tropic coyote]

this shows

I had already tried it with pip
but did not have any clue how to access it

so I tried as zip

[frozen rampart]

yeah i would move the zip somewhere else and then just run the program again

[tropic coyote]

ok, so I tried moving my file.py into this path

and now it worked!

isn´t it weird?

so I will have to do my whole proyect in that folder xD

[hoary canopy]

Is there an easy way to stack letters in tkinter? So that a word strings virtically instead of horizontally

[sleek hollow]

Just add a newline between each letter

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()


label = tk.Label(text='\n'.join('Hello World'))
label.pack()

root.mainloop()

\

[hoary canopy]

Didnt think that would work. Thanks. I just had an issue of things being cut off so i assumed that it would get cut off.

[feral quiver]

any sort of ready-to-go interface like the one that follows? it filters a list based on an input. I want the graphical CLI, and I want to be able to just program the logic

[next bay]

How do I run a python code on command prompt Windows os

[mighty rock]

It depends on how you installed Python, but it's either py your_script.py or python your_script.py

[flint igloo]

I have a Listbox with TK in my Script but i can't get rounded corners on the listbox. Is there a way to do the same listbox with ctk or is it possible to make the corners from the tk listbox rounded

[rich salmon]

Try this code, if you are using vs code. Make sure your directory folder length isn't too long. Make a new folder on desktop and create a new .python file. Don't put file name too long.

INSTALL CTK:
pip install customtkinter

import customtkinter as ctk
from customtkinter import *

root = ctk.CTk()
root.geometry("400x600")
root.title("Test Window")


btn = ctk.CTkButton(root, text="Click Me")
btn.pack(padx=10, pady=20)

root.mainloop()

this should work fine

[dense dove]

I add the label to child of the frame how to remove the line

[sinful dew]

could anyone help with with organising my tkinter grid? im trying to randomly arrange 4 buttons in a 2x2 grid

ref = [] buttons = [c, i1, i2, i3] for button in buttons: n = r.randint(0, 1), r.randint(0, 1) while n in ref: n = r.randint(0, 1), r.randint(0, 1) ref.append(n) ro, col = n print(ro, col) button.config(text=n) button.grid_remove() button.grid(row=ro, column=col)

this is the code i have

when i run this the buttons just seem to be in a random order

[red delta]

I have also made project like that

But cant

Remember

[sleek hollow]

You could shuffle the buttons

import tkinter as tk 
import random

root = tk.Tk()
btns = []
for i in range(4):
    btns.append(tk.Button(text=str(i+1), width=6, height=2))

random.shuffle(btns)
for i, btn in enumerate(btns):
    btn.grid(row=i // 2, column=i % 2, padx=5, pady=5)

root.mainloop()

here's a basic setup

[digital rose]

I'm doing this using the example code but I'm not sure how to make the bar go all the way down

[sleek hollow]

We would need to see the code

[digital rose]

        self.navigation_frame = customtkinter.CTkFrame(self, corner_radius=0)
        self.navigation_frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew")
        self.navigation_frame.grid_rowconfigure(4, weight=1)

        self.navigation_frame_label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self.navigation_frame, text="  Image Example", image=self.logo_image, compound="left", font=customtkinter.CTkFont(size=15, weight="bold"))
        self.navigation_frame_label.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=20, pady=20)

        self.home_button = customtkinter.CTkButton(self.navigation_frame, corner_radius=0, height=40, border_spacing=10, text="Home", fg_color="transparent", text_color=("gray10", "gray90"), hover_color=("gray70", "gray30"), image=self.home_image, anchor="w", command=self.home_button_event)
        self.home_button.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky="ew")

        self.frame_2_button = customtkinter.CTkButton(self.navigation_frame, corner_radius=0, height=40, border_spacing=10, text="Frame 2", fg_color="transparent", text_color=("gray10", "gray90"), hover_color=("gray70", "gray30"), image=self.chat_image, anchor="w", command=self.frame_2_button_event)
        self.frame_2_button.grid(row=2, column=0, sticky="ew")

        self.frame_3_button = customtkinter.CTkButton(self.navigation_frame, corner_radius=0, height=40, border_spacing=10, text="Frame 3", fg_color="transparent", text_color=("gray10", "gray90"), hover_color=("gray70", "gray30"), image=self.add_user_image, anchor="w", command=self.frame_3_button_event)
        self.frame_3_button.grid(row=3, column=0, sticky="ew")```

[digital rose]

Currently my frame is doing this

How can I make it only takeup this part

So then if I use anchor=tkinter.CENTER

It'll work

[digital rose]

@sleek hollow

[wary grotto]

guys, an interesting tkinter doubt here...how can we use a for loop to create tk buttons, with each button performing a separate function

like for example, in my program, a food delivery app, i want to print buttons of all the food items, and if you click on the button of a specific food item, you get its cost n stuff

[digital rose]

You wouldn't make a function for each thing. You'd make one function that grabs the data based off what the item is.

[mighty rock]

Might be interested in making a widget for items

So you'd just have to instantiate that widget

[wary grotto]

yeah exactly, i cant figure out how do do that

ive tried quite a few methods

[sleek hollow]

Do you have an example of what your UI looks like?

[sleek hollow]

You can do it quite easily with pack

import tkinter as tk 

root = tk.Tk()

main_frame = tk.Frame(bg='red')
main_frame.pack(expand=True, fill=tk.BOTH)

left_column = tk.Frame(main_frame, bg='#3333ff')
left_column.pack(side='left', fill=tk.Y)

right_side = tk.Frame(main_frame, bg='#aaaaff')
right_side.pack(side='left', fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)

for i in range(5):
    tk.Button(left_column, text=f'Button {i+1}').pack(padx=10, pady=5)

root.mainloop()

the light-blue is a frame that you would add the rest of your widgets to

[digital rose]

What if I'm using grid

[sleek hollow]

Use pack for the sidebar, and then grid for what goes inside the frame

[wary grotto]

its pretty big tbh, ill try to srch through on of my projects

[wary grotto]

thanks man, but what function have you used here?

[sleek hollow]

That example was for clingy

[sleek hollow]

If you just have an example image of the feature you're trying to implement, that's enough

[granite radish]

hey guys! i'm using pyqt6 and i want to resize my main window with a push button called "resizer", i'm using the "event filter" method for the mouse event and when i use this method to resize, the window is clipping and flickering... here is my code : ```py
self.ui_main_window.resizer.installEventFilter(self)

def eventFilter(self, source, event):
    ##########################################################
    ## Window Resizer
    if source == self.ui_main_window.resizer:
        if event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.Type.MouseButtonPress:
            self.offset = event.pos()
        elif event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.Type.MouseMove and self.offset is not None:
            delta = event.pos() - self.offset
            new_geometry = self.geometry()
            new_geometry.setRight(new_geometry.right() + delta.x())
            new_geometry.setBottom(new_geometry.bottom() + delta.y())
            self.setGeometry(new_geometry)
            self.offset = event.pos()
        elif event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.Type.MouseButtonRelease:
            self.offset = None

[digital rose]

You can see the red kinda poking through a bit

[humble chasm]

Anyone know how to focus on a wxPython application when it launches?

I've been able to bring the window to the front, at least, but the application itself is still not focused on

[humble chasm]

I figured it out - I can use AppKit

Which seems like using a grenade to kill a fly - but its a start

[delicate hearth]

Anyone know why this resizing thing doesn't seem to update the widget above?
in the output class: ```py
def mouseMoveEvent(self, event: QMouseEvent) -> None:

poschange = event.position() - self.previous_position
newsize = QSize(self.size().width(), int(self.size().height() + poschange.y()))
print(newsize)
self.resize(newsize)

    self.previous_position = event.position()
    return super().mouseMoveEvent(event)

def mousePressEvent(self, event: QMouseEvent) -> None:
    self.previous_position = event.position()
    return super().mousePressEvent(event)

In the list class: ```py

def add_item(self, item: FlowItem, idx=None):
    if idx is None:

        self.box.addWidget(item)
    else:
        self.items.insert(idx, item)
        self.box.insertWidget(idx, item)
    ...
    item.resized.connect(self.updateGeometry)

Git branch if you need more context: https://github.com/zeptofine/dataset-creator/tree/output-resizing (warning, it's sorta confusing!)

FIXED: ```diff

•            self.resize(newsize)
  

•            self.setMinimumSize(newsize)
  

feels wrong but hey idk

        # Main Frame

This is my current code for some reason the `home_frame` is behind, I think?

When I minimize my window with tkinter grid tiles and open it again, whole window gets black and Tiles are slowly getting back from black to normal. How can I avoid seening the black and instead see the window immediately how should it look?

[gentle salmon]

hey guys is there any chance that i can turn my model into something that can fit into an AR for a smart glass?

[astral lake]

i dont know if thats the right place for this but,

import keyboard

def listen():
    text = ""

    while True:
        event = keyboard.read_event()

        if event.name == "q":
            print("quit")
            break
        else:
            text = text + event.name

    return text

it doesnt print "quit"(break the loop) when i press q

this is so stupid

[hoary canopy]

I want to use a top level for tkinter but not sure how to transfer the information to the main window upon closure.

[mighty rock]

You should use keyboard.record

[digital rose]

i think this might be the color of the background

#python-discussion

[dawn oriole]

ok thanks

[warm condor]

Hello

[void condor]

I tried making the BG transparent as it's given in the code, nothing changed

[astral lake]

i tried that but didnt work. i am using a different library rn

[mighty rock]

You shouldn't need to

You can tell what went wrong

[astral lake]

np ill fix it

[astral lake]

i used pynput and keyboard libraries.

i have fixed it

it works

the problem was keyboard.wait()

[mighty rock]

You don't need keyboard.wait if you use keyboard.record

I believe it blocks until a key just like keyboard.wait

[feral quiver]

any sort of ready-to-go interface like the one that follows, prepackaged? it filters a list based on an input. I want the graphical CLI, and I want to be able to just program the logic

my best bet is probably taking a look at source code right? there's no library that works with "templates" or such, or no database of such templates, right?

[sick jetty]

Can I get an easy to use template with:
buttons, toggles, tabs (prefering), text boxes, buttons that check the text boxes text (I probably know already how to do it), text labels, descriptions and would prefer to insert a youtube video (not like a video, but a youtube video so when someone clicks it counts as a view on youtube).

it may look like a mod menu

toggles need to run a loop when they are activated

[steady ginkgo]

When I minimize my window with tkinter grid tiles and open it again, whole window gets black and Tiles are slowly getting back from black to normal. How can I avoid seening the black and instead see the window immediately how should it look?

[wary grotto]

I think it does take time for python to process all the information and execute line by lime

[steady ginkgo]

The code Is running on the background. When I first open the program, I dont see this. When I minimize the app on the bar and open it again, this appears. Also I found out, that when I grab the window, those black tiles disappear instantly. My goal is to never see those black tiles. Any idea how to do it?

then link as a text is good

[sleek hollow]

the best way to make it non-problematic is to start learning today 🙂

hello, i have problem and i don t know how to search for it or even to ask. i am using tkinter and i have a toplevel and some spinbox, i want to get the data from spinbox after i clicked save not before.

```def save_function(self):
    total_time = self.hour_int.get() * 3600 + self.minute_int.get() * 60 + self.second_int.get()
    self.time_int.set(total_time)
    if self.time_int.get() > 0:
        self.destroy()
    return self.time_int.get()
```

but to not print in the same class. because that would be fine. i want to use on different one.

If someone created an APK out of a Kivy file, pleased contact me, I use GitHub Action. I get an Error and I think, because of the Buildozer.spec file the requirments It would bei great If you coule Help me.

[hoary canopy]

So you’re trying to grab data from the top level and use it in the spin box window? Pass the save function as a function to the top level when creating it. Use a class to create the top level.

[frozen rampart]

just ask

[digital rose]

no, i have a main window and a button. when they play it it showes the toplevel window with the spinbox. (the user have to put a hour) and i want to grab that data from the toplevel(spinboxes) and to use it in another class( because i have a meter there)

Hi

Can anyone help me PYSIDE6?

[granite vortex]

How could I create a desktop widget using Python that would display some info (a graph)? I'm kinda surprised I can't seemingly find any premade system/framework for simple desktop widgets...

[crisp rivet]

plotly or matplotlib

[granite vortex]

not really related to creating a desktop widget, the plotting I can do 🙂

[tribal path]

Might need to expand on what you mean by widget in that case

[digital rose]

Do you mean a desktop window? Maybe look at Tkinter/PyQt

[granite vortex]

no I mean desktop widgets like this

I guess I can make something like this with pywin32 bindings or something and creating some transparent window that has no titlebar or open/close buttons and cannot be moved or minimized etc. but that sounds pretty painful

[mighty rock]

Does this look like something you can work with?

from tkinter import Tk
from tkinter.ttk import Button

root = Tk()
root.overrideredirect(True)
button = Button(root, text="Exit", command=root.destroy)
button.pack()
root.mainloop()

If you don't want to use tkinter, there has to be a way to do it with other frameworks without turning to platform-specific libraries

Hoi, before i start with my question, point me to the right channel if this is the wrong channel to ask.

I want to use a addon meant for automatic1111 webUI, but i want to make a simpler program to simply preferably either GUI it in it's own contained field, which whill also incorporate automatic1111's "model browser" to simply just be a "standalone model manager/viewer" that doesn't load any models into memory, but just manages and browses it's image previews the exact same way as auto1111 does.

Where do i start doing that? As i learn on the go, just need keywords of what i'd need, and where to start as i do not know any keywords to use to properly ask gpt/google up how to do.

https://github.com/butaixianran/Stable-Diffusion-Webui-Civitai-Helper This is the main extension for automatic1111 i want to make a standalone of.

Image shows the menu from auto1111 i want to "extract" and use in this fork/tool

As i'm gonna either make/incorporate the same UI as automatic does for easiest use and familiarity of what's already there. Same top tabs as automatic1111 has for comfy, just will not have any of the machine learning and generation stuff. Just model tools

What is best tkinter or pyside6 to create the best looking design

[mighty rock]

pyside6 will look better easier probably

[nova light]

Hello

How would I "incorporate" a webcam / phones camera into the GUI but it should have a "skelleton" from yolo pose on top of it?

[hoary canopy]

I want to create an autosearch based on widget focus. The idea is when the user press enter, if the item being searched is value and the autocomplete combo box has focus it will run a function via the event handler thing ```py
def search_records(self, event):

do something```

Like is there a way to get a bool to compare against.

[hoary canopy]

Nvm. I realized focus out would work better.

Special_Talents_Or_Achievements.pack()

root.mainloop()

[hoary canopy]

Start small. First, learn how to get information from tk.Entry widgets. Move on to passing the information to functions. Once you can do that, learn sql to save the info into a database to recall later. Use SQLite3 as it comes packaged with python already.

[hallow wasp]

ok

tysm

just saying, i am not trying to make it look good

bye bye

I would suggest using classes, it makes things easier and cleaner.

[meager whale]

is their a better alternative to tkinter

[mighty rock]

Nothing simpler, but you can look into Kivy, PyQt, etc.

Hello, i've joined this community server because i'm looking for people who already, at least, tried, to use pyside6 to create valid (meaning functionally) GUI softwares for at least windows, and preferibly android too, and if there is any way to have some kind of showcase, demo or similar, it would be great, thank you all

[lunar portal]

yeah i was a vid with classes on yt i didnt understand a thing

but finally figured it out with some help

[meager whale]

@wicked tiger just look at the documentation

[wicked tiger]

the point of my message was not what to do if i want to do something but more like, what should i expect to be able to do? are there limits to what is achievable with pyside6 and pyqt6? how common is to use it? are kivy or beeware more common?

[lunar portal]

um i need help on my project

im getting a thing like this when i run my project

idk why

You're using two types of geometry managers at the same time all over the place

It should probably look right if you get rid of the last .pack()s and let the .place(...)s do their thing

[kindred comet]

What would be an acceptable (or best) way to build a touch screen interface for a Fish Collection system? We currently have an access database that has been used since forever -- users need changes but ... its access.

The interface is a simple touch screen with the fish species, sex, tag, count and tank (where that fish is sent).

What library could I use which also allows for extending if other features are needed in the future.

[tribal path]

Personally I'd say kivy, as that's my go to. What's the touch screen connect to/ run from?

[kindred comet]

Havne't decided yet; eventually it needs to get into Snowflake, but i'll probably stage the data locally incase of internet outages (since its in the middle of no where)

like a sqllite or something similar

would that work?

Hi guys, does anyone know a good chat gui template with out sockets made in pyqt on GitHub?

... no but this sounds like a good project to learn @mighty sluice

I am trying but it's really hard to work on the scroll view with resizable message boxes and all that

I need to see an advanced looking gui on pyqt or something and I'm not finding the correct thing

[ruby crystal]

soo
PyQt6 is too weird
is that the best option or we have a better choice for advanced gui work?

[mighty frigate]

explain your problem

[mighty frigate]

explain your problem

[ruby crystal]

am just asking what framework is good for using

[mighty frigate]

Qt

what's your problem

I've heard of ImGui but I've never had the opportunity to look deep into it

if QtWidgets isn't your thing, there's also QtQuick

I think ppl use Kivy too

[ruby crystal]

how about dearpygui?

[mighty frigate]

idk

[mighty frigate]

if you want help with your problem, chances are I can do just that

[ruby crystal]

i don't have a problem
am just looking for a framework to learn

[mighty frigate]

in C++, in which Qt is arguably predominant

the trend is QtQuick

[mighty frigate]

be aware tho, if the backend is in pure python (or C++ depends on what's your thing), the front is a weird javascript like language

it's funny tho

[waxen thistle]

Try dash templates on GitHub. They have a chat component

I know it's a little late but if you still need templates for Tkinter you can look here https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1089466823885467658

[dire oyster]

I'm just asking the doubt straight because code is big, how to stop QTimer

[sleek hollow]

timer_instance.stop()

[dire oyster]

Problem was that, I was using singleShot

[sleek hollow]

ahh yeah I don't think that returns the actual QTimer instance

[dire oyster]

Yeah someone in StackOverflow mentioned it runs independently and ChatGPT said singleShot isn't probably the issue and so I struggled for hours trying to see what's wrong

[mighty frigate]

QTimer.singleshot is a static function indeed

you're supposed to create a QTimer and use the setSingleShot func if you want to do more than just starting a singleshot timer.

[toxic palm]

Here's how you can setup the QTimers in such a way that displayTask() will keep calling itself and when it is done, it will call nextRound() and passTime() will skip the roundTime (QTime class) and call nextRound()

[dire oyster]

How

[toxic palm]

import sys

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QTime

class SimulatedTaskLabel(QLabel):
def init(self, task, removeTaskProcedure):
super().init()

    self.task = task
    self.removeTaskProcedure = removeTaskProcedure
    self.isTaskRound = True
    self.taskTimer = QTimer(self)
    self.restTimer = QTimer(self)
    self.nextRound()

def nextRound(self):
    if self.isTaskRound and self.task.schedule.taskRounds:
        self.displayTask(self.task.schedule.taskRounds.pop(0))
    elif not self.isTaskRound and self.task.schedule.restRounds:
        self.passTime(self.task.schedule.restRounds.pop(0))
    elif self.task.schedule.taskRounds:
        self.displayTask(self.task.schedule.taskRounds.pop(0))
    elif self.task.schedule.restRounds:
        self.passTime(self.task.schedule.restRounds.pop(0))
    else:
        self.close()
        self.removeTaskProcedure(self)

def displayTask(self, roundTime):
    if roundTime.hour() == 0 and roundTime.minute() == 0 and roundTime.second() == 0:
        # Skip this round and call nextRound() immediately
        self.nextRound()
        return

    self.show()
    self.setText(f"{self.task.name} {self.task.duration.toString()}")
    self.task.duration = self.task.duration.addSecs(-1)

    # Keep calling displayTask() every second until roundTime is 0
    self.taskTimer.timeout.connect(lambda: self.displayTask(roundTime))
    self.taskTimer.start(1000)

def passTime(self, roundTime):
    self.hide()
    self.isTaskRound = True

Call nextRound() immediately

    self.nextRound()

if name == 'main':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create a simulated task
task = {
    'name': 'Task 1',
    'duration': QTime(0, 0, 5),
    'schedule': {
        'taskRounds': [QTime(0, 0, 5)],
        'restRounds': [QTime(0, 0, 2)]
    }
}

# Create a simulated task label
taskLabel = SimulatedTaskLabel(task, lambda taskLabel: taskLabel.deleteLater())

taskLabel.show()

sys.exit(app.exec())

Combine those 2 parts

ChatGPT's solution didn't work, I tried

[toxic palm]

Then i not have any other solution 😅

[dire oyster]

Thanks for trying though, I'll wait for anyone else to see

[toxic palm]

Let me check what you want

Sorry brother wait i check

[dire oyster]

Sure

[toxic palm]

Bro is simple you just have to use while loop

[dire oyster]

Isn't that expensive

[toxic palm]

It is same like last time i was made a telegram bot and and i did something same like that

See class nbot:
def init(self):
self.bot = telebot.TeleBot(BOT_TOKEN)
self.shell = None

def greet(self,message):
    self.bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Hello! How can I help you today?")

def connected(self):
    self.bot.send_message(CHAT_ID, "Network connected. Restarting application...")

    try:
        # Send a message to the user asking for a command
        self.bot.send_message(CHAT_ID, "please give me a command")
        self.bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
        def handle_message(self,message):
            self.command = message.text.lower()
        if command == "hi":
            self.greet(message)
        elif command =="hello":
            self.greet(message)
        else:
            self.bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "I don't understand your command.")
        self.bot.polling()


    # Handle connection disconnects
    except Exception as e:
        self.connected()

def run(self):
    while True:
        try:
            self.connected()
            break
        except Exception as e:
            continue

if name == 'main':
nbot = nbot()
nbot.run()

Check my run method

You will get your solution

[dire oyster]

This doesn't really talk much about calling right after one second though

[toxic palm]

Ok what is your project

What you want to make

[dire oyster]

Can I come after few minutes

[modern crypt]

I'm trying to change the icon of the taskbar to the logo I have chocen, but It doesn't affect te taskbar, everything else works fine. I've searched on sites like stackoverflow, youtube video's and the tkinter documentation but they all use this and for them it works...

This line of python is in the init function off the class.

self.root.iconbitmap(default= r'./Logos_GC/GC_Logo_Icon.ico')```


I have no errors

[dire oyster]

You have a task at hand, you split that task into parts and you work for a while and you rest for a while, then work then rest and so on
The above I sent updates a label in the output screen whenever the task is active and hides it whenever we're resting

font_db = QFontDatabase()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: QFontDatabase(a0: QFontDatabase): not enough arguments

Why does QFontDatabase take itself as an argument

And ChatGPT isn't giving any other solution

[sleek hollow]

Where are you seeing this? It looks like QFontDatabase is never meant to be instantiated. You should be calling it's static methods

[dire oyster]

I finally experimented and found that myself, ChatGPT kept giving it and so did Bing and the documentation didn't help much, for the code examples are in C++

[sleek hollow]

The documentation is very clear that the class only contains static members

usually there's a section at the top of public functions about how the class is meant to be instantiated

(just using QColor as an example)

there's no public function section for QFontDatabase and it's all listed as static

(I also don't know any C++)

[dire oyster]

Static Public Members are Static Functions?

[sleek hollow]

yeah

they are meant to be called from the class and not from an instance

[dire oyster]

My bad then, I didn't bother checking it because they both kept giving me QFontDatabase() so I thought it had something to do with it

[sleek hollow]

some other QColor examples, meaning it should be called QtGui.QColor.fromCmyk(...)

[dire oyster]

Yeah now it makes sense, Thanks for explaining

[sleek hollow]

I've honestly learned a lot about pyqt from chatgpt. It's great until it isn't.

It's great at pointing you in the right direction sometimes at least, and then it's up to you to do a bit more research beyond that

I should mentioned that these are the C++ docs I'm looking at. They're far better than the actual pyqt docs

[dire oyster]

True and same, I wouldn't have written not even 10% of what I wrote so far without it

But yes, Thanks again

Are there anyway to get real-time key press inside terminal but not outside terminal (so I can use UP and DOWN key). [This is not a keylogger, just want something like in pygame to monitor keyboard input but instead of GUI, it use CLI]

Like getkey and pygetkey on pypi except I can install neither of those in python 3.12

Windows or not Windows?

[calm robin]

Windows

[dire barn]

!d msvcrt.getch

[proven basin]

msvcrt.getch

msvcrt.getch()```
Read a keypress and return the resulting character as a byte string. Nothing is echoed to the console. This call will block if a keypress is not already available, but will not wait for `Enter` to be pressed. If the pressed key was a special function key, this will return `'000'` or `'xe0'`; the next call will return the keycode. The ``Control`-`C`` keypress cannot be read with this function.

Thank you

[fathom verge]

hello can someone help me with a tkinter problem

[tribal path]

.set() doesn't return anything

[fathom verge]

hmm what i was being thought was that i can save a value of a tkinter variable in anothe temporary variable like this

but this doesnt work either

lets start here

[tribal path]

That prints "", I'd assume?

[fathom verge]

yes it prints "" ""

even if i put something into the text box i see nothing so i assume its prints ""

[digital rose]

... command=lambda:print(variable_1_waarde)

[tribal path]

Well when you .get there's nothing in the StringVar, try command=lambda: print(var_1.get()) or define a function to call, the key being to offset when you are getting the value

[fathom verge]

ok ill try to call function first, cause i wasnt thought the command=lambda: yet so i dont want to use that for now unless i have no other option

ok so you said there isnt anything in the StringVar()
but what does line 22 do?

because if i try it like this it works

[tribal path]

With 22 you are making an entry and telling it to put the entered text into the Var, that 2nd setup is correct, the get() is called when the button is pressed so after text was entered

You can get directly from the Entry but using Vars is more flexible

[fathom verge]

i think i understand

but can you explain again why the first picture didnt work

like it returns ""
and how do i get it to return what i had in the textbox from line 22 when i press the button at line 29

[fathom verge]

?

[tribal path]

So the code is ran top to bottom, thus .get() gets the value at that time.

Getting it to return what you entered is via what you did there moved the get() into a function and set it as the command. The command is run when the button is pressed which calls () the command at that point

[fathom verge]

i think i undsstand

how do i get more space between these buttons?

i tried to create a space label with rowspan but it doesnt work

i want to get it llike this

this is mines vs how it should be

[fathom verge]

hey man i think i understand now but one thing i still dont understand is
what is the point of

age = tkinter.Stringvar()
age_input = tkinter.Entry(window, textvariable=age)

age_temporary = age.get()

like why should i print (age_temporary) instead of (age.get())

because once age updates age_temporary also updates

[sleek hollow]

No it doesn't.

age_temporary is only the current value at that moment. It doesn't update as the StringVar updates

[fathom verge]

hmm gonna test that later

can u show me a code witha button

so i can press age_temporary button and age.get() button to see the difference

cause i cant grasp the benefit of it

[sleek hollow]

the benefit of what?

I'm not certain why you're doing a temporary variable at all

[fathom verge]

also do u know why my rowspan isnt working?

[sleek hollow]

Not without your code I don't

[fathom verge]

i dont know bru my teacher said that im abble to place a age.get() into and another variable like age_1 = age.get()

idk whats the point of it but so far i havent used it

[fathom verge]

its the last picture i just sent

[sleek hollow]

yeah, using .get() makes sense when you click a button or something, but it doesn't make sense using it immediately after creating your widget

[sleek hollow]

Send as text please

ok

[fathom verge]

brother

its a lot

i prefer to select the specific part

cant u see from the image?

why my label isnt 2 rows long?

[sleek hollow]

just that chunk of code isn't enough to know what's wrong. Your code isn't only reading those lines

Pasting code is just as easy if it's 10 lines or 1000

Do you have 27 rows in your grid?

[fathom verge]

ow

bro

i really appreciate you for helping me

but i already submitted my assignment

ive been up for 13 hours

it works 99% only that extra space between the buttons

but i dont care anymore lol

does anyone here know anything that has drag and drop editor for GUI in Python?
I only find editors where the buttons and layout has 90s vibes in it. I want something modern looking like custom tkinter but has a drag and drop editor so that I could focus more on the design part and less worry on the complexity of manually doing it in plain texts hehe

[sleek hollow]

Most GUI library will look like that without putting a bit of work into the styling

[ocean dawn]

May I know what are your suggested GUI library?

[sleek hollow]

I personally work with PyQt

It has a "drag and drop" editor but I honestly advise against it. You're better off learning how to properly build a UI through code

I've been stuck with this issue for a long time now

[agile cloud]

Hi everyone, I'm doing an app using PySide 6, and for the first time I'm trying to use Qt Designer to work faster than writing everything by hand.
I'm trying to import a widget that I did in Qt Designer as an item for a QListWidget, but I'm not sure how I should manage it since it's creating a object class with a setupUi().

Here a small example of what I'm usually doing :

import sys
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QListWidget, QVBoxLayout, QLabel, QListWidgetItem, QHBoxLayout

class CustomQWidget(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(CustomQWidget, self).__init__(parent)

        lbl_cover = QLabel("Cover Picture")
        lbl_artist = QLabel("Artist")

        layout = QHBoxLayout()
        layout.addWidget(lbl_cover)
        layout.addWidget(lbl_artist)

        self.setLayout(layout)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = QWidget()

    lst_widget = QListWidget()

    item = QListWidgetItem(lst_widget)
    item_widget = CustomQWidget()
    item.setSizeHint(item_widget.sizeHint())
    lst_widget.addItem(item)
    lst_widget.setItemWidget(item, item_widget)

    window_layout = QVBoxLayout(window)
    window_layout.addWidget(lst_widget)
    window.setLayout(window_layout)

    window.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec())```

[agile cloud]

But the python file that Qt Designer generate is like this:

from PySide6.QtCore import (QCoreApplication, QDate, QDateTime, QLocale,
    QMetaObject, QObject, QPoint, QRect,
    QSize, QTime, QUrl, Qt)
from PySide6.QtGui import (QBrush, QColor, QConicalGradient, QCursor,
    QFont, QFontDatabase, QGradient, QIcon,
    QImage, QKeySequence, QLinearGradient, QPainter,
    QPalette, QPixmap, QRadialGradient, QTransform)
from PySide6.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QHBoxLayout, QLabel, QSizePolicy,
    QWidget)

class Ui_qt_designer_widget(object):
    def setupUi(self, qt_designer_widget):
        if not qt_designer_widget.objectName():
            qt_designer_widget.setObjectName(u"qt_designer_widget")
        qt_designer_widget.resize(400, 300)
        self.horizontalLayout = QHBoxLayout(qt_designer_widget)
        self.horizontalLayout.setObjectName(u"horizontalLayout")
        self.lbl_cover = QLabel(qt_designer_widget)
        self.lbl_cover.setObjectName(u"lbl_cover")

        self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.lbl_cover)

        self.lbl_artist = QLabel(qt_designer_widget)
        self.lbl_artist.setObjectName(u"lbl_artist")

        self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.lbl_artist)


        self.retranslateUi(qt_designer_widget)

        QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(qt_designer_widget)
    # setupUi

    def retranslateUi(self, qt_designer_widget):
        qt_designer_widget.setWindowTitle(QCoreApplication.translate("qt_designer_widget", u"Form", None))
        self.lbl_cover.setText(QCoreApplication.translate("qt_designer_widget", u"Cover PIcture", None))
        self.lbl_artist.setText(QCoreApplication.translate("qt_designer_widget", u"Artist", None))
    # retranslateUi```

(also I'm not used of Discord, so if I shouldn't publish message that long please tell me)

[long forum]

My Application is crashing for a few users but only those users and at random times.
No traceback is generated so I assume its happening at a sub dependency level.

Was able to identify Qt5Core.dll as an identified crash point for one user. I assume this means I have a memory leak somewhere?
I think I "fixed" cross threaded UI updates but now Im starting to doubt my self

[tight ice]

Whys that? Its boring and repetitive having to line up or style a certain element and then having to rerun it every 30 seconds to see if its correct. Am I missing something?

[rocky dragon]

After a while you'll mostly know it's correct, most of the things I get wrong is just mixing stuff like HBox and VBox layouts

The drag an drop can be nice for the initial prototyping but you can also just do that on paper or something

[sleek hollow]

Having to line things up and rerun comes from inexperience. If you're comfortable enough coding it all from scratch, you should be able to visualize something immediately

The underlying code also ends up way more organized since you aren't letting designer do it for you

[stable glade]

I would like to save the contents of a canvas as an image file, using only python and tkinter... Is it possible with a script?

[hoary canopy]

This seems like the best place for this. Anyone familiar with report generation? I know my report looks extremely basic but I’m not a UI person, so I can’t think of a better format.

[signal crown]

Hey starting to learn uis and erm is tkinter a good place to start?

Hmu with an @

[hoary canopy]

Tkinter in my experience is the easiest for GUI. QT5 has a designer which is a benefit over Tkinter unless you have an alternative. I personally use Clickteam to design my gui and take the x,y, with and height from that and plug them into the place method for Tkinter.

[signal crown]

So u can combine them?

Im really new to ui lol

I've created a simple window with resolution of 1080p

[hoary canopy]

I don’t think so. You should stick to one gui anyway.

[signal crown]

Got ya

[hoary canopy]

I just Clickteam just for placement though. It’s a game engine, nothing to do with Python.

[signal crown]

Idek if python is worth learning tbh

I have a good understanding of it to an extent but im looking to be someday either an adnriod app developer or a games developer

So i should really be learning kotlin or the c languages

[hoary canopy]

You can use kivy for an Android gui, pygames and pandas3d for game development. It’s a really versatile language. Python is also similar to GDScript.

[signal crown]

Gdscript rings a bell

[hoary canopy]

It’s for Godot engine.

[signal crown]

Im really looking to be efficient with my time learning, im aged 17 no career formed yet..

Which is more beneficial?

[hoary canopy]

I’m currently learning c sharp. What I’ve learned from Python has been extremely helpful with switching to the new language. Instead of being overwhelmed with all the new stuff plus the basics, I understand the basics and only have to learn type casting, the void and other function type hinting(?) etc. everything else from@proven basin has transferred nicely.

Oops. Didn’t mean to ping.

[signal crown]

Python i understand helps you learn and understand how code is processed am i correct?

So that should be universal with most if not all languages

Assumption on par?

[hoary canopy]

For the most point. Once you learn to create variables in Python like name=Quail then transferring that to say C sharp is easy since it’s str name=Quail

[signal crown]

Damn i get you now..

Thats pretty cool, learn python for most things and its similar in other languages

[hoary canopy]

for x in range(0,5,1):
   print(x)```
For Python x is the current index and the range is start, end, step. 
```csharp
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) 
{
   Console.WriteLn(i)
}```
i=0 is the start value. i<5 is the end and i++ is the steps (by 1)

Restore it back to the original edit trigger. Store it in an attribute beforehand

[analog blade]

[mighty rock]

1. You're supposed to simply pass the function. It already uses the global variables correctly, it doesn't need them to be passed to it either.
2. The or gatcha got you

!or

[proven basin]

The or-gotcha

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

# Incorrect...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

If i put my tkinter widgets into a list after creating them, could i use a for look to manipulate them? So if i have" [label1, label2, label3] could i do for index, label in enumerate(labels): label.configure(text=f'Label {label}')?

[mighty rock]

Yes, and you don't need to enumerate

for label in labels:
    label.configure(text=f"Label {label}")

would work just fine

Unless you meant to use {index} instead of {label}

[hoary canopy]

I'll need to enumerate for data validation. And i need label to grab the correct widget. I have like 70 widgets currently i need to validate and don't want to do it manually. Would be easier to do groups of tens since each group of 10 widgets need the same validation before passing the information to a database.

[mighty rock]

Do you use Python 3.12?

!d itertools.batched

[proven basin]

itertools.batched

itertools.batched(iterable, n)```
Batch data from the *iterable* into tuples of length *n*. The last batch may be shorter than *n*.

Loops over the input iterable and accumulates data into tuples up to size *n*. The input is consumed lazily, just enough to fill a batch. The result is yielded as soon as the batch is full or when the input iterable is exhausted...

[hoary canopy]

No, my version is 3.10.11

[mighty rock]

Are they random labels?

[hoary canopy]

No, they are manually created.

Ill grab a section of code

        # Create variables
        x = 60
        y = 0

        o = 30
        w = 75
        h = 25
        # Create Batch Entries
        self.batch1 = ttk.Entry(self.frame).place(

        i = 2
        self.batch2 = ttk.Entry(self.frame).place(

        self.batch3 = ttk.Entry(self.frame).place(
            x=x, y=y+(o*i), width=w, height=h)
        i = 4
        self.batch4 = ttk.Entry(self.frame).place(
            x=x, y=y+(o*i), width=w, height=h)
        i = 5
        self.batch5 = ttk.Entry(self.frame).place(

        i = 10
        self.batch10 = ttk.Entry(self.frame).place(
            x=x, y=y+(o*i), width=w, height=h)```

And i have 11 functions like this so 110 data points max.

[mighty rock]

This could've already been a for loop and you could have a list named self.batches

I'm just trying to understand what widget needs to have this functionality

[hoary canopy]

Didn't know that. Figured it would cause issues when trying to get data from the entry and autocomplete combo boxes.

[mighty rock]

self.batches.clear()
for i in range(1, 11):
    batch = ttk.Entry(self.frame)
    batch.place(x=x, y=y + (o * i), width=w, height=h)
    self.batches.append(batch)

I'm not a fan of using the place geometry manager by the way

I prefer pack

Do fill me in on why you chose it over packing

[hoary canopy]

I prefer exact placement over the widgets. Its easy to get the values i need since i use my game development software as a layout manager.

[mighty rock]

Oh, and ttk.Entry(self.frame).place(...) returns None I believe

So your batches are None

[hoary canopy]

But i have these 10 records that will be intered into a database. but i need to check some things like if the batch is empty, the rest of the data doesn't need to be added.

Maybe i should switch to a add button so all 10 batches arent visible from the start.

[hoary canopy]

Thanks for the heads up. Luckily i can alt shift and edit everything at once.

[mighty rock]

I'm sensing an overlooked widget

At the very list you could've used grid instead of place and they'd align all nicely

With grid you specify rows and columns, and row and column spans and padding and whatever

Not keen on that geometry manager beyond this

Wait, this tkinter GUI is just for prototyping a game UI?

[hoary canopy]

Can you specify width and height? I see padding and span in the tkdocs tutorial

[hoary canopy]

No, the game software prototypes the tkinter gui.

Since its drag and drop

[mighty rock]

Tkinter has dnd

Anyway I digress

[hoary canopy]

I never said place is the best lol. I just perfer it since it was easiest for me.

[mighty rock]

I think the width and height in place specify the boundaries a widget can expand into (in the terminology of pack)

Not sure what grid does

I think spanning controls the boundaries

[mighty rock]

I'm thinking of replicating the GUI

If I'd done it

[hoary canopy]

It sets the widget size in pixels for place.

[mighty rock]

I know

I know how that behaves

[hoary canopy]

No, I have like 5 more columns and have to set up the horizontal scroll bar

[hoary canopy]

Sorry, misread your message then.

I just realized I messed up the headers. That’s fun.

Pick a GUI library of your choice and read tutorials on it, pretty much. For a small app, https://www.pysimplegui.org/en/latest/ isn't bad (though I'd say the docs for it are messy).

[signal crown]

ah i will look into it very much appreciated

Hey fellas, is there a way in PySide6/PyQt6 to create a custom sorting for a QTableWidget?
In this example, while sorting by the Artist column, I would like to sort by order of priority: Artist/Album/Disc/Track

Here the code of this example:

from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QTableWidget, QTableWidgetItem, QVBoxLayout, QWidget

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication([])
    window = QWidget()
    layout = QVBoxLayout()
    table_widget = QTableWidget()
    table_widget.setColumnCount(6)
    table_widget.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(['Title', 'Artist', 'Album', 'Album Artist', 'Track Number', 'Disc Number'])
    table_widget.setSortingEnabled(True)

    layout.addWidget(table_widget)
    window.setLayout(layout)

    data = [
        ["Song1", "Artist1", "Album 1", "Album Artist1", "1", "1"],
        ["Song5", "Artist1", "Album 1", "Album Artist1", "2", "1"],
        ["Song3", "Artist1", "Album 1", "Album Artist1", "3", "1"],
        ["Song1", "Artist1", "Album 1", "Album Artist1", "1", "2"],
        ["Song41", "Artist2", "Album 2", "Album Artist2", "1", "1"],
        ["Song32", "Artist3", "Album 2", "Album Artist2", "2", "1"],
        ["Song33", "Artist3", "Album 2", "Album Artist2", "3", "1"],
        ["Song1", "Artist4", "Album 4", "Album Artist4", "1", "1"],
    ]

    table_widget.setRowCount(len(data))
    for row, rowData in enumerate(data):
        for col, value in enumerate(rowData):
            item = QTableWidgetItem(value)
            print(f"{row}:{col} : {value}")
            table_widget.setItem(row, col, item)

    window.show()
    app.exec()

Hello i installed pyqt5-tools but i dont seem to find the qt designer anywhere

[sleek hollow]

it should install into qt5_applications/Qt/bin

[mellow hemlock]

Found it! Ig it was changed after Tech with tims video?

[sleek hollow]

🤷

I never use designer

but that's where mine is installed

[mellow hemlock]

aight

[mellow hemlock]

Why not? It seems to be very useful 🤔

[sleek hollow]

If you're new to pyqt, I also recommend staying away from designer

because I can setup UI quicker writing code from scratch than with designer

if you use designer, you'll have a much harder time grasping underlying PyQt code

[mellow hemlock]

oh shoot

[sleek hollow]

If you write everything from scratch, you'll learn pyqt way more thoroughly

[mellow hemlock]

alright

btw what is your view on the github copilot extension?

[sleek hollow]

Haven't used it, but generally don't care for AI assistance

I'll bounce ideas off chatgpt if I'm really stuck, and it's good for pointing me in the right direction, but I'll never take what it says at face value

[mellow hemlock]

alrighty

just starting out with pyqt so wanted to get a viewpoint from a seasoned programmer

Hey Guys, I'm making a gui with tkinter.
I made the first window which is a login window and has the login button
The login button writes on a json and then should lead me to another window closing this one. How can I achieve this?
What I tried:
I tried making another py file with another gui but when I import the second gui, even before being triggered it comes on the screen.
I tried moving the import statement on the code that would trigger the second window but then the first one won't close.
I tried multiprocessing but it seems that the first window won't close anyway.
Do you have any suggestions on how to go about ?

[mighty rock]

I tried making another py file with another gui but when I import the second gui, even before being triggered it comes on the screen.
That's a good time to learn to use __name__

But I'd suggest having frames, the first for the login screen and the second for the other screen. Switching screens is as simple as pack_forgetting the current one and packing the other one. In this way, you won't have to enter a new window.

[hexed spear]

Sorry I'm self taught and I'm learning step by step.
I'll take a look at main and then look at pack_forget
Thanks 👍

[mighty rock]

!if-name-main

[proven basin]

`if __name__ == '__main__'`

This is a statement that is only true if the module (your source code) it appears in is being run directly, as opposed to being imported into another module. When you run your module, the __name__ special variable is automatically set to the string '__main__'. Conversely, when you import that same module into a different one, and run that, __name__ is instead set to the filename of your module minus the .py extension.

Example

# foo.py

print('spam')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print('eggs')

If you run the above module foo.py directly, both 'spam'and 'eggs' will be printed. Now consider this next example:

# bar.py

import foo

If you run this module named bar.py, it will execute the code in foo.py. First it will print 'spam', and then the if statement will fail, because __name__ will now be the string 'foo'.

Why would I do this?

• Your module is a library, but also has a special case where it can be run directly
• Your module is a library and you want to safeguard it against people running it directly (like what pip does)
• Your module is the main program, but has unit tests and the testing framework works by importing your module, and you want to avoid having your main code run during the test

[mighty rock]

@hexed spear You don't have to run two GUI programs for different screens

Ideally, you don't do that

GUI programming with tkinter widgets is object-oriented anyway, so it's a good idea to have different classes inheriting tkinter.Frame/tkinter.ttk.Frame for different screens

[hexed spear]

That's a lot helpful I think I'll go down that route
Thanks for the read about main I didn't know what if name == 'main" meant before

how do i change the "root.resizable(True, True)" in PAGE visually for root. i made my program and i noticed the elements inside is smaller then the window and thats fine they are size i want. i change the window manually and then the elments inside change dynamicly with it. i know its doable to change in the actual python code. but i want to resize the toplevel without affecting whats inside but in the actual PAGE IDE. how is this done ?

nvm i found it had to lock each item in tree

hm no it doesnt work 😄

hello guys
how can i write a material design ui for my desktop python project?
i tested pyqt but there was some issue issue for showing it after i switched to pyside 6
any good alternatives?

[sleek hollow]

What were the issues?

[sleek hollow]

There's loads, but they might not be commercially available. They're likely in-house tools built to help effeciencies for specific work tasks

I can't really share the internal tools I've created here. I work in game dev though and all of our asset management/artist automation tools are written in PySide2

Ok here's one example I can share

This is our animation exporter

[mellow hemlock]

After i import some data in tabular form from pyqt tablewidgets, how do i then use pandas to manipulate the datas?

[digital rose]

How do I remove the white border when I click?

[digital rose]

what do you think about this kinda ui in desktop?

stupid or cool?

i will make simple system information and optimization tool

[digital rose]

looks cool

is there a repo for this? id like to see the progress for it as it goes

[digital rose]

i will share you

i am making this project for yt content

alright

i like the animations and the background glass effect

nicee

[digital rose]

animation is fairly simple move window position according to a lerp function and glass effect is special for windows 10 or above i use c++ extension

[digital rose]

i see

[digital rose]

How do I remove the white border when I click it?

[pine arrow]

did you ever do transparent Tkinter stuff @digital rose

[digital rose]

i never use tk stuff but looks like button has background-color some way maybe you can make transparent color it or you can use this trick if there is no such option use any color in hex format and give alpha channel 0 so it will be transparent . for example like this (#FF000000 - red but no opacity)

[digital rose]

i never use tk and do not recommend i tried once and it was literally the worst api i have ever seen just use QT if you wanna stick in python

[earnest carbon]

does anyone know how to fix using PIL in pyqt I have laterally tried everything, using qthread, a seperate thread entirely, trying to get the bytes and convert it to base64 url (that one doesn't seem to work) I am currently making a system icon app

[mighty rock]

Have you tried

from io import BytesIO

with BytesIO() as file:
    with ImageGrab.grab() as screenshot:
        screenshot.save(file, format="png")
    file.seek(0)
    res = requests.post(
        ...
        files={"image": file},
        ...
    )

[earnest carbon]

I can try it but its the pesky save action it for some reason just kills the entire python application

[mighty rock]

It hangs?

You have a timeout of five seconds

[earnest carbon]

It kills the process instantly

all threads and subprocesses are imediately shut off once I call .save

[mighty rock]

Oh, it's 5000 seconds

[mighty rock]

Maybe there's an exception?

I think there should be no exception for save to a file-like object

[earnest carbon]

idk but from what I am seeing it is all io operations like reading and writing to the file system it breaks

[mighty rock]

It's not a file

It's an in-memory object with a file-like interface

I'm talking about io.BytesIO

[mighty rock]

That's a bigger, unrelated problem you need to deal with

I/O is either blocking or nonblocking, not fatal

Your program would hang in the worst case scenario

[earnest carbon]

yeah I'm aware that io.Bytesio is not actual io but rather virtual io I sawa lot of other people having the same issue on reddits and stack overflow without really any fixes besides using a different version of pyqt

I have a hacky workaround for it now, thanks so much for your help I appreciate you taking the time to help me

[mighty rock]

One blocking I/O operation shouldn't bring down the whole application

[earnest carbon]

that's what I am saying lol I wish it weren't true

[mighty rock]

I guess you can schedule it in a thread and wait for it

[earnest carbon]

it already is in a thread lol

[mighty rock]

Makes sense because requests.post is another blocking I/O operation

[earnest carbon]

It's not the request.post I double check the only way I can make it shut down completely is using .save

also the open command works in regular threads not in QThreads but the .save works in neither type of threads

[mighty rock]

Both should work in every type of thread

I know for a fact that PIL.Image.save works in regular threads

[earnest carbon]

not with pyqt in the works

[mighty rock]

I don't think it magically takes control over regular threads

[earnest carbon]

I can show you the code and you can run it for yourself

[mighty rock]

I don't have PyQt

[digital rose]

What is this font family pls

[earnest carbon]

Jetbrains mono with ligatures on

[sleek hollow]

There must be something else going on because I use PIL + PyQt together all the time

[earnest carbon]

I'm not sure I can provide the file if you want to check

But yeah tis weird but I've found a work around so I'm good

[crystal pike]

hello, i'm looking for some feedback for a page i made, it's based on google maps which will help customers locate the physical stores the company sells their products at, the feedback i'm looking for specifically is the user experience, are things in a layout where it's easy to understand what's what and does what, is it simple to use or complicated, are there anything that's visually neglected, etc... this is the page: https://alelo.vercel.app/find

purely from an ease of setup and learning perspective, I'm talking quick and dirty UI programming

[crystal pike]

quick and dirty would be tkinter and qt, slow and correct would be native implementations in other languages

[glass cloak]

[pale pulsar]

Hey ! I am having issue with TKinter. Im still learning, so maybe it's something obvious? but I can't figure it out... I am writing a gui interface to control a robot for a project. For now, I just want to make the pannel for motor control. I am now designing 2 buttons for the servo motors, but the placement... is odd...

my function is as follow

        row_offset = 1
        col_offset = 20
        
        self.servo_buttons = []
        for i in range(3):
            servo = ttk.Frame(self.tab[tab_index]).grid(column=i+col_offset, row=row_offset+1, columnspan=1, rowspan=3)
            self.servo_1_down = ttk.Button(servo, text="-", width=5).grid(column=0, row=0)
            self.servo_1_up = ttk.Button(servo, text="+", width=5).grid(column=0, row=1)```

but I get the following... 

in case you missed it, one button (+) is in the middle, and the other is at the very top. I wanted a rowspan of 3 so it would be alligned with the 2 arrows for the z axis. Ive tried setting rowspan to 1, but it isn't fixing it

[mighty rock]

Not sure if it'll solve your problem, but .grid(...) returns None for the record. You probably mean to do

servo = ttk.Frame(...)
servo.grid(...)
self.servo_1_down = ttk.Button(...)
self.servo_1_down.grid(...)
self.servo_1_up = ttk.Button(...)
self.servo_1_up.grid(...)

[pale pulsar]

Okay, for some reasons, I changed the way my button are called and now it's much better... Im so confused

        row_offset = 8
        col_offset = 20
        
        self.servo_buttons = []
        for i in range(3):
            servo = tk.Frame(self.tab[tab_index])
            servo.grid(column=i+col_offset, row=row_offset+1, columnspan=1, rowspan=3)
            self.servo_buttons.append(tk.Button(servo, text="-", width=5).grid(column=0, row=0))
            self.servo_buttons.append(tk.Button(servo, text="+", width=5).grid(column=0, row=1))```

[pale pulsar]

aah, that's actually very helpful. I think I've seen somewhere people using it one line, but maybe I remember wrong, or missed an information

[mighty rock]

The information you missed is that it's flawed programming

You need to keep a reference to the widget

[pale pulsar]

so self.tabs[index_name] in my case right?

Im still a bit lost with all these new terms

[mighty rock]

You must have had a typo

[mighty rock]

You spelled self.tab in here

[pale pulsar]

uh yes, tab, not tabs

[mighty rock]

self.servo_1_down and self.servo_1_up makes me believe they aren't in self.tab

And you're recreating buttons and assigning them to these instance variables

[pale pulsar]

so, I changed that in my code because I realised it was a mistake. Its now in a list called self.servo_buttons, and they are both part of the servo frame, inside self.tab

[mighty rock]

Which means losing reference to the previous ones

[pale pulsar]

yes, thats why I changed it to a list, so I keep all references, just in case

    def set_servo_control(self, tab_index):
        row_offset = 8
        col_offset = 20
        
        self.servo_buttons = []
        for i in range(3):
            servo = ttk.Frame(self.tab[tab_index])
            servo.grid(column=i+col_offset, row=row_offset+1, columnspan=1, rowspan=3)
            self.servo_buttons.append(ttk.Button(servo, text="-", width=5).grid(column=0, row=0))
            self.servo_buttons.append(ttk.Button(servo, text="+", width=5).grid(column=0, row=1))```

[mighty rock]

I wouldn't rely on servo to be referenced by whatever widget self.tab[tab_index] is

[pale pulsar]

what do you mean ?

[mighty rock]

You're reassigning servo two times. That's forgetting about two servo frames which house your buttons

[pale pulsar]

Just for context: For now I am only designing the interface and this is my first time doing this ever. So I haven't linked any code to this, and I still don't know/understand the importance of keeping all the reference in self. I'm guessing it's to keep checking the status of the buttons ?

so I should keep a reference of EVERYTHING I create ?

or only the ones containing inputs ?

[mighty rock]

Python objects are deleted when their reference count drops to 0

[pale pulsar]

Because for now, it's displaying corrreclty

Well, i changed this every so I keep a reference of everything, just in case

[mighty rock]

What is self.tab?

[pale pulsar]

in this picture, it's the 5 tabs at the top left

For now it's in the "mode" tab, but it's just to make the debugging easier, I will move it to the XYZ control tab

[mighty rock]

🤔

[pale pulsar]

As mentionned, this is my very first time working with tkinter, sorry if it's really inefficient or bad 😅

[mighty rock]

Have you considered using tkinter.ttk.Notebook?

It's basically a tabbing system

[pale pulsar]

it is a notebook

    def __init__(self):
        
        self.window = tk.Tk()

        self.window.geometry("1200x700")
        self.window.title("X-Plant control panel")

        self.tabs_name = ["Mode", "Cameras", "Parameters", "Well plate", "XYZ Control"]

        self.label = tk.Label(self.window, text="X-plant", font=("Arial Bold", 18))
        self.label.grid()

        # Create a style to configure the notebook
        self.style = ttk.Style()
        self.style.configure("TNotebook.Tab", padding=(15, 10))  # Adjust the padding values as needed


        self.tabControl = ttk.Notebook(self.window)

        self.tab = []
        for i in range(len(self.tabs_name)):
            self.tab.append(ttk.Frame(self.tabControl))
            self.tabControl.add(self.tab[i], text=self.tabs_name[i])
            self.set_tabs(i)
        self.tabControl.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=10, pady=10, sticky="nsew")  # Adjust as needed
        self.window.columnconfigure(0, minsize=400, weight=1)
        self.window.rowconfigure(1, minsize=400,weight=1)

        
        self.window.mainloop()```

[mighty rock]

You don't need to have self.tab

self.tabControl.tabs() is basically it

[pale pulsar]

so self.tab[tab_index] would be self.tabControl.tabs(tab_index)?

[mighty rock]

Remind me why you need to keep an index to use a specific tab like that

[pale pulsar]

Because that's how I found I could access each tabs. Name every tab and give it to a variable. Instead of having 5 variables, I put them in a list

https://www.pythontutorial.net/tkinter/tkinter-notebook/
I was looking at this. Here, they name each tab frame 1 and frame 2. Then, everytime they work on each, they have to call it. So I did a loop to name every tab, using a list of names, and a list of tabs, and that's also how I currently define each tab

[mighty rock]

Instead of having 5 variables, I put them in a list
I'm checking whether those same objects are the ones in the notebook's list

[pale pulsar]

quick questions, there's no arguments for settings the size of a ttk.Buttons ?

That's what Im seeing in vscode

[mighty rock]

What kind of size

Widget boundaries are configured, in your case, in .grid(...)

[pale pulsar]

I want to make the buttons taller. I know I can with tk.Button, but for some reasons, there's no arguement height for ttk.Button

[mighty rock]

With rowspan, columnspan, etc.

Although I guess you could use padding

[pale pulsar]

but the padding would be outside of the button,r ight ?

ohhh, that's where ipadx and ipady gooooooooooooooooooo

okay, thanks !

i was trying to put them inside of the button, and not the .grid

you, you are really helpful, thank you so much !!

[mighty rock]

No, but you can get them with self.nametowidget(self.tabs()[i]) for example

As long as the tabs are the notebook's children, they shouldn't be deleted

[magic aspen]

is there a way to change the label for a command in OptionMenu()?

i dont wanna add a button but if i have to i will

if it helps, its a toggle option
at the start the option is called "disable auto"
after selecting it, it changed to "enable auto"
as well as also swapping the auto option it is referring to

[magic aspen]

or i guess alternatively can you add an option into a specific position?

because this is doable by deleting and readding the command, but that'll only place it at the bottom

[pale pulsar]

        
        self.well_plate_grid = tk.Frame(self.well_plate, width=300, height=480, bg="lightgray")
        self.well_plate_grid.grid()
        
        label_col = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"]
        label_row = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8"]
        for i in range(layout[well_id][0]):
            self.well_plate_grid.grid_columnconfigure(i, minsize=well_dim_x/layout[well_id][0])
            for j in range(layout[well_id][1]):
                self.well_plate_grid.grid_rowconfigure(j, minsize=well_dim_y/layout[well_id][1])
                self.well_buttons.append(tk.Button(self.well_plate_grid, text=label_col[i]+label_row[j], width=5, relief="raised", command=lambda: (self.toggle_well(i,j, layout[well_id]))).grid(column=i, row=j))
                
    
    def toggle_well(self, i, j, layout):
        print("i is ",i)
        print("j is ",j)
        button = self.well_buttons[i*layout[0]+j]
        if button['relief'] == "sunken":
            button['relief'] = "raised"
        else:
            button['relief'] = "sunken"```
For some reasons, the function toggle_well ALWAYS return i = 2,j =1. Any clue why ?

EDIT: Okay, so here is how I understand it: When we press the button, we are outside of the loop, meaning every index is at its maximum.

But that also mean I don't know how to differentiate each button's command...

[pale pulsar]

Im not familiar enough with this yet, but if the option isn't included, you could create a pack/grid/place, and inside fit both the label and the drop menu. This way, they will always be together, and you can modify them

The label is something inside the menu, not a seperate thing

So like when you right click something and all those options show, its like that

I need to bassically change the name of one of those options

[pale pulsar]

ohh okay, I thought you were talking about the labels outside of the drop menu.
Sorry, I am too new to this to help 😅

[magic aspen]

Nah, its okay that's why i explained for you

[harsh thunder]

Anyone with experience in Qt Creator?

[pale pulsar]

okay, I have managed to fix this with lambda idx = index, and then calling idx instead.

now my issue is: I want to change the relief. how do I retrieve the current relief of the button ? I've tried button[index]['relief'], but it doens't work

One issue i have is it keeps telling me my button is of Nonetype

[mighty rock]

You're doing tk.Button(...).grid(...) again

grid(...) returns None

[pale pulsar]

oh... ye, thanks !

it will enter my brain eventually 😂

[mighty rock]

Well you taught me default arguments are a thing for lambdas

You might be able to just use lambda: self.toggle_wall(index) though

And you could do index += 1 instead of index = index + 1 but you do you

Oh it spells toggle_well

[pale pulsar]

Oh, I didn't know Zou could do this. I've always missed the index++ from c++. Thanks

And thanks for seeing me typo 😂😂😅

[pale pulsar]

I tried this but it didn't work either. It would always return the maximum value of index, as we are outside of the loop. It took me a lot of googling to find a fix to this

[mighty rock]

It should use different values for different buttons

Or not actually

[pale pulsar]

Don't ask me why I have no clue, I'm just glad I didn't need any extra complicated fix just for this 😅

But to be fair, I feel like my code could be sooooo much cleaner, if I employed more classes, but I'm not too sure how to implement everything yet. I just feel like it's going to be a huge pain when I'll have to link everything to outside functions

For instance, here, I have a dynamic grid ( that depends on the input from the dropdown menu). I want to have AT MOST 6 button pushed. Well, I feel like I'm going to enjoy coding

[pale pulsar]

Oh wait, i thought I made this typo in the code. Were you talking about your message ?

[mighty rock]

Were you talking about your message
Yes

[signal crown]

with customtkinter im trying to get a button and checkbox to work together sorta and idk how

what am i doing wrong :/

error is self isnt defined

[pale rapids]

Put your command in the button in a lambda

[signal crown]

i have no idea what a lambda is

is it a python or tkinter thing

[pale rapids]

Python

[signal crown]

ima go watch a vid on it then

wait the button?

where in the line would i put lambda

[pale rapids]

Try this in the code lambda: zombie_button

Where the command is

That’s how it would look

[signal crown]

self.button1 = customtkinter.CTkButton(master=self.gameframe, text="Zombies", command=lambda: zombies_button)

that sorta thing?

[pale rapids]

Ye

[signal crown]

so it doesnt care that lambda is just sitting there? does it become like part of the variable name?

[pale rapids]

Nah tkinter kinda weird normally you need a lambda to call a function that has parameters but i always found even my command had parameters or not I always need to put my function inside a lambda

[signal crown]

huh so its just having trouble finding it?

[pale rapids]

Also lambda is a anonymous function so it can take any function in

I think so I haven’t really found an explanation for it my self

[signal crown]

well thank you..

[pale rapids]

For sure was I able to atleast get your code to work

[signal crown]

oh lemme try dat actually whoops

errm no ball

no text printed in the terminal when pressed and its checked

[pale rapids]

Is the code you showed in a class?

[signal crown]

yeah

[pale rapids]

I noticed you put self as a global you can just put as a parameter of the function

[signal crown]

ive never really worked with both functions and classes before now

[pale rapids]

That might be conflicting also

Basically functions in classes are just methods that have do with the class depends on how you use it and self is just a var that represents the objects in the class

Or instance of a class

[signal crown]

huh

errm when i actually check the box is the value changing to a 1?

this is what i got currently

[pale rapids]

Yea where it says global self put that self in the parameter of the function

[signal crown]

so its def zombies_button(self):

??

[pale rapids]

Ye

[signal crown]

do i run and check that?

[pale rapids]

Yea

[signal crown]

no ball

ffs dis annoyin

[pale rapids]

Is it possible to see the entire bc it’s kinda hard to find the problem with just a snippet

Entire code *

[signal crown]

okzz errm .py file?

[pale rapids]

Yea just like screen shot it or something

[signal crown]

i can send the code or like pastebin it

snipping it errm i cant get the entire conde on there

[pale rapids]

Pastebin works

[signal crown]

https://pastebin.com/uK6ZWR2H

i think all of its there lol

[pale rapids]

Oh ok I see

You need to put the functions within the class

For it to be tied to class so you can use sled

Self*

[signal crown]

dang so i cant just have it outside the class like i thought

[pale rapids]

Sadly not

[signal crown]

i might have trouble with the indents so i just place all the functions before i function init()??

whoop

__

init

__

[pale rapids]

I think inside the class you can create a var and just put the function inside of the car

Var*

Like this zombie-btn = zombie_button()

[signal crown]

where i place that>

[pale rapids]

Inside the class

[signal crown]

like dat?

[pale rapids]

Yea but it needs to in the init function

[signal crown]

so inside the function before the super()?

[pale rapids]

Nah after all of the initialization

[signal crown]

like that or after all the code?

[pale rapids]

Yep it can be anywhere after the initialization

[signal crown]

how about just after i place the checkbox?

[pale rapids]

Sure

Really how you place is up to you and how you want it to be organized

[signal crown]

hyphen dont work in variable name apprently lol

[pale rapids]

Oh yea right

Use a _

I always forget you can’t use hyphens

[signal crown]

i thought you can but i always use _

turns out u cant

[pale rapids]

I think it doesn’t work because it thinks your trying to subtract

Huh weird I stg u can

[signal crown]

stg?

it isnt defined funny enough

[pale rapids]

Try no parentheses

[signal crown]

nope still not

[pale rapids]

Huh do you still have the global inside the zombie button

[signal crown]

no

[pale rapids]

Well your just gonna have to put the functions within the class it’s self

I thought u could do what we just tried but I was wrong

[signal crown]

global self inside the zombie_button function?

[pale rapids]

Yea

That shouldn’t be there

[signal crown]

like dis?

[pale rapids]

Ye

Now just put that function inside your class

[signal crown]

before the init function right?]

[pale rapids]

Yea but put the method after the init function

[signal crown]

whoops is that if statement in the right place?

looks like its missing a block

[pale rapids]

Need to indent it

[signal crown]

yeah thats solved but the zombie_button still isnt defined

[pale rapids]

Get rid of that car

Var

U don’t need it anymore

[pale rapids]

Put self.zomebie_button

[signal crown]

so without the s in zombies

[pale rapids]

Keep the s I just spelt it wrong lol

[signal crown]

das how i did tho

[signal crown]

.

can u sorta fix it with #commets tellin me what i did wrong

and pastebin it

[pale rapids]

No put the self.zombies_button where the command is you don’t need that var self.zombie_btn

[signal crown]

:/ what cammand

[pale rapids]

Inside your button

[signal crown]

oooh

-_- i feel stupid aha

like dat@?

[pale rapids]

Yea

[signal crown]

am i runnin it?

[pale rapids]

Wait no

Get rid of the zombie_btn and just use self.zombie_button

[signal crown]

huh?

where in the command?

or line 70*

[pale rapids]

Yea get rid of line 70

[signal crown]

whoops too much left but like dat?

what if i changed in the command line, self.zval instead of zombies_btn

[pale rapids]

That wouldn’t work

I noticed you where using an int class from tkinter if what we did still doesn’t work try using a regular integer

[signal crown]

so just self.zval = int()

self.zombies_btn isnt a variable

[pale rapids]

Don’t use it

Use zombies_button

The method in the class

Also nah just set it to zero

[signal crown]

set what to 0, just self.zval = 0?

[pale rapids]

Yea

If what we did doesn’t work

[signal crown]

it didnt ima try dis also tho

like dis?

[pale rapids]

Yep

[signal crown]

the functions needed are in the class after everything is placed

not in the init function

[pale rapids]

Looks good

And yea pretty much

[signal crown]

ok ima run it the result im expecting is when box is checked and i press zombie button then it will print in terminal "cHECKED BOX."

whoops caps

[pale rapids]

Yea if I doesn’t print we can now assume that how we handle the condition is the problem

[signal crown]

yeah didnt print aha

could i get the result i want another way?

basically you can see by the os.startfile line that when the button is pressed then aombies with launch, but what i also want to happen is when checkbox is checked for controller then it will also launch a controller input app i have

[pale rapids]

I would just make another button for the controller input

Or just launch it at the same time as you launch a game you want it for

[signal crown]

theres certain other apps that have buttons that dont require a controller app so its like i just want a checkbox for it yeno?

also i would like the option just present cuz i play zombies and minecraft with kbm sometimes

[pale rapids]

U can just put a command inside the checkbox

[signal crown]

eh idk.. i kinda just wanted to change the state of an int to 1 or 0 representing checked and unchecked and dependant on what state it is wqhen the zombies button is pressed it will launch just zombies or both apps

ykwim?

[pale rapids]

U can also use check = StringVar(value=“off”) then inside of the check box use check as the var and then create two parameters inside of the checkbox called on value and offvalue

[signal crown]

yeh i could ig.

its simpler with ints doe right?

[pale rapids]

I mean it’s the same way as doing it with internet

Ints

[signal crown]

yeh.

.

[pale rapids]

It doesn’t matter which one you pick

[signal crown]

im scared of messing it up for some reason aha

[pale rapids]

‘’’check_var = tkinter.StringVar("on")

def checkbox_event():
print("checkbox toggled, current value:", check_var.get())

checkbox = customtkinter.CTkCheckBox(master=root_tk, text="CTkCheckBox", command=checkbox_event,
variable=check_var, onvalue="on", offvalue="off")
checkbox.pack(padx=20, pady=10)’’’

Here is an example

How the f do I send a msg as code lol

[signal crown]

idk but like is it the same principle as int?

[pale rapids]

Yea

[signal crown]

obs it is but like exactly like that

does it matter that im using customtkinter maybe?

[pale rapids]

I think you can replace on and off value with 0 and 1

Nah it doesn’t matter

[signal crown]

ah kkz i did new variable check_var = customtkinter.IntVar(0)

[pale rapids]

Yea and you will need to do check_var.get() to get the actual value

[signal crown]

wait i need to put self. before it right?

[pale rapids]

Nah you don’t

Wait it’s in the class yes you do

[pale rapids]

Sorry lol

[signal crown]

this should work right?

[pale rapids]

You need to use the .get() in the if statement
