im not using any font

[tribal path]

You're using the default font. Would need to locate a suitable font and use that.

(Kivy does have some font fallback via pango, but won't have a more generic fallback until version 3)

need help with a timer that dosent seem to work with tkinter

when the button is pressed it seems to freezes and skip the first configured text then just shows the last text

[sleek hollow]

You can't use time.sleep in a ui. tkinter's mainloop is basically a fancy while loop, so using time.sleep essentially pauses the application. If you want some sort of timer, you need to use the .after method

[signal crown]

ik it was becausde it was a constant loop

ffs

[wicked helm]

i dont really care for the font, i want to use default font but what should i use so i can get these cool unicodes

[tribal path]

https://fonts.google.com/ as said find a font that has the unicode characters you want to use. (Or create your own)

[misty canopy]

typically for weird symbols you want a Nerd Font

though, no, ☺ isn't there. i do have it, but from some other font. hmm.

[wicked helm]

emojis? eh i dont really mind no emojis

[misty canopy]

but... that's the symbol you posted?

[wicked helm]

thats a unicode smiley face

not emoji

☺

oh wat

discord

[inland wedge]

to get the unicode funcy symbols, sometimes u need a nerd font

gucharmap is a good program for viewing this stuff

hi, i'm using the lib wxpython
how would you catch all event type to display the name of each as they happens ?

[wraith forge]

I was wondering if anyone has had any thoughts, experiences, or opinions on Toga: https://beeware.org/project/projects/libraries/toga/

@rose depot Not entirely sure if this helps out, but there does seem to be an EventWatcher that'll let you watch and catch any events that happen on a given widget https://docs.wxpython.org/wx.lib.eventwatcher.EventWatcher.html#wx.lib.eventwatcher.EventWatcher

[rose depot]

oh thanks I missed that one

[slim cairn]

1. Does building (using buildozer) kivy app takes a lot of time? Mine is 2hrs already and its still going on.
2. Building same project after a change will also take longer?
3. Will it be same experience when building other kivy projects?

[forest rose]

hey, has anyone here ever tried to install python bpy module?

[tribal path]

First build will take a while, that sounds excessive though. How are running the build; with which OS?

Subsequent builds will be much quicker.

[slim cairn]

i5 procssor, win 10 wsl 🥲

[slim cairn]

well never tried it but i have heared that they have vscode extension to help you with imports

[forest rose]

I am trying to install it but it is erroring out although I have the correct python env they require for that specific version
thought to ask since blender api scripting is popular

[slim cairn]

there is also bpy package in pypi

[tribal path]

Any chance you are building from /mnt/c ?

[forest rose]

that is what i am refering to

[slim cairn]

100%

[forest rose]

i have a conda env

trying to pip install bpy

[tribal path]

If you move your build env/folder into the wsl filesystem it'll build much faster

[slim cairn]

well i will remember that for next build.
😦 well it finally threw error
BUILD FAILURE: No main.py(c) found in your app directory.

[slim cairn]

well if i remember correctly there is a discord server with name bpy you probably get help from there

[forest rose]

I am in the official blender server

there is a bpy one?
just bpy?
lemme search

[slim cairn]

yep there is

[forest rose]

nope just the official blender

and some other ones

[slim cairn]

should i dm you the invite?

[forest rose]

yes please
I know there is an official one

not sure which one u r referring to

you should look up for loops on your own

So, I created some GUIs using FIGMA and converted them to Python using "Tkinter Designer" but I can't find a way to connect the GUIs between them so when I'm pressing a button it switches to the other GUI. I need to mention that I'm new to UI and I'm struggling to find a solution. Thanks in advance !

Here are some photos and the code of 2 of them :

Hi i dont know where to upload this question however i need help with align text in python. It in another language however i want the number beside the country to move to the right and they should be aligned.

it shoule look like this.

[digital rose]

I'm trying to set up a progress bar for a Downloader on custom tkinter.

I have a download function that's called when the download button is clicked, that removes its frame from the grid and updates progress on every iteration of the download.

What I expect to happen is that the the frame with the button would be removed from the grid immediately, and then the progress bar would be updated as normal. Instead, it stalls and doesn't go to the next screen until progress is completed

Going to post code in a sec

class SelectDirectoryFrame(customtkinter.CTkFrame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        super().__init__(master)
        self.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.grid_rowconfigure(1, weight=25)
        self.grid_rowconfigure(2, weight=2)
        
        self.title_label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self, text='Ikemen-GO Build Downloader')
        self.title_label.grid(row=0, column = 0, sticky='enw', padx=1)

        self.directory_frame = DirectoryFrame(self)
        self.directory_frame.grid(row=1, column = 0, sticky='nwe') 

        self.next_button = customtkinter.CTkButton(self, text='Download', command = master.init_download, width=50)
        self.next_button.grid(row=2,column=0,  sticky='se', pady=7, padx=7)


class UtilFrame(customtkinter.CTkFrame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        super().__init__(master)
        self.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)

        self.select_directory_frame = SelectDirectoryFrame(self)
        self.select_directory_frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='news')
        self.progress_bar_frame = None  

    def init_download(self):
        self.select_directory_frame.grid_remove()
        self.progress_bar_frame = ProgressFrame(self)
        self.progress_bar_frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='news')
        download_release(Progress(self.progress_bar_frame))

class ProgressFrame(customtkinter.CTkFrame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        super().__init__(master)
        self.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.progress_bar = customtkinter.CTkProgressBar(master=master)
        self.progress_bar.grid(row=0, column=0)
        self.progress_bar.set(0)
        
    def step_download(self, current):
        self.progress_bar.set(current)


def download_release(progress):
    latest_request_url ="https://api.github.com/repos/ikemen-engine/Ikemen-GO/releases/latest"
    response = requests.get(latest_request_url)
    json = response.json()
    name = json["name"]
    assets = json["assets"]
    for asset in assets:
        if CURRENT_OS not in asset["name"]:
            continue
        with requests.get(asset["url"],stream=True, allow_redirects=True, headers={'Accept':"application/octet-stream"}) as r:
            total = int(r.headers.get('content-length', 0))
            count = 0
            with open(asset["name"], 'wb') as file:
                for data in r.iter_content(chunk_size=65536):
                    size = file.write(data)
                    count += size
                    progress.update(count/total)

Anyone know what could be wrong?

[misty canopy]

I don't see any threading here - if this isn't done in a worker thread, then the GUI won't update (and in fact, should freeze entirely) until the download finishes.

[digital rose]

Makes sense but I've seen many code examples of this progress bar and not once was threading used, they all used callbacks like this

Ok, just as I typed that I found a single example with threads

[digital rose]

Any suggestions for how I could make this UI look better?

[digital rose]

Fixed it up a bit

[royal cape]

i imagine you fixed this by running tk.update() alongside the progress bar? if you want to see another example, i recently wrote a tkinter GUI where downloading was done via an asyncio event loop running in a second thread:
https://github.com/thegamecracks/parallel-downloader/blob/v1.0.7/pdl.py

it's still updated via callbacks and is overall kind of overkill, but since the main thread isn't doing any waiting for I/O, it should be able to respond to user input without network latency causing the interface to hitch

[digital rose]

Can anyone tell me how do I get my tkinter apps to look good colorful and modern. My apps now look very basic and default

[royal cape]

the two options i know of are:

• ttkbootstrap (builds on top of tkinter's themed widgets and has several light/dark themes, plus a few new widgets)
• customtkinter (remade widgets with light/dark themes)
  if you haven't used the tkinter.ttk module, you might also want to start with that since themed widgets will give you native-feeling widgets by default, and it's already part of tkinter

also if you aren't already familiar with the basics like the grid geometry manager, tkdocs has been a massively useful resource to me (and equally IDE autocompletion/type-checking as well)

        Why put "_" in path, _ = ...

[somber hemlock]

@hexed girder maybe the underlying c++ api expects it in that way, that's why

[hexed girder]

thin I meant : Why put _ in path, = ...

in path, _ = ...

[somber hemlock]

Oh okay

That's because the function returns 2 elements

The second you don't use, hence its a convention to name it _

[hexed girder]

which one we don't use ?

[somber hemlock]

You can use path, *_ = ... for example if you just need the first returned thing from 2 or more things

[somber hemlock]

The second one (named as _) since its after path

[hexed girder]

srry i don't understand?

[somber hemlock]

What do you not understand?

[hexed girder]

" since its after path "

[somber hemlock]

def fn():
    return 2, 3

a, b = fn()

do you understand this code?

[hexed girder]

yes

[somber hemlock]

So a is 2 and b is 3

[hexed girder]

yes

[somber hemlock]

So here the getOpenFileName is returning a path and something else

You only need the path in your code

[hexed girder]

ohhh okayyy

ty

[somber hemlock]

And _ is like a convention for unused variables

[hexed girder]

okayy understand

ty gey

hello guys I have a question, I made an application using tkinter and I would like to know if there’s a way I can use the application I built on my android phone. The application is a .py that I converted into a .exe but I can’t run the .exe on android so I should convert it into .apk but I don’t know if it will work to run the application on android

[hot path]

good morning everyone

oops wrong space

[tribal path]

@worthy sequoia You can use the py via pydroid3 (other apps may work too).

Compiling your own app/apk would be more involved, and not sure where could direct you to

I'm looking for some light UI development solutions, UI is not my strong point. I have some fairly system intensive analysis scripts that i would like to run on my workstation, but from anywhere on my local network. Right now I'm actually sshing in and running it. I'd much prefer access it view a browser (but not via notebook).

Other than using the httpd and building out a ui with that, are their any frameworks that might be applicable here? Security is less a concern, its a locked down local network.

I wanna like, in tkinter...
To have video player, already done actually, basic, update image, add frame count.
I want add under it like scroll bar, that shows where at video i am, but, i want also display there, on that bar, frame colors palette , for each frame.
I can probably make up some way to generate that image, [x: time; y: palette]
But it sure will be longer than i can display, and i want to make it background or smth for the video scroll bar...

So i wanna make that scroll bar same length in pixels as frames in video, and make scrollbar itself scrollable....

Atleast help me understand what i want, ty.

Hello, I have gained quite a bit of experience with Tkinter in the past few months and I am ready to take my GUI learning to the next level. What would anyone recommend to get into next now that I have almost mastered Tkinter?

[somber hemlock]

There's not much in Python GUI land apart from Tkinter and PyQt / PySide. Others are very new and lack too many useful stuffs or are so old and have so badly designed APIs you won't learn anything meaningful out of it.

[sinful pendant]

I would say that look for some open source projects. Understand and contribute.
Just search for github topics on tkinter.

[digital rose]

@somber hemlock @sinful pendant Thank you. That is slightly surprising. I suppose this is because Tkinter does a good enough job at handling most application needs as far as Python is concerned? It seems I have more research to do on the topic. Thanks for the responses.

[sleek hollow]

tkinter is extremely limiting compared to pyside/pyqt

if you just need a basic window with some buttons then sure, tkinter is "good enough"

[somber hemlock]

Tbf nobody really does guis in python. There's not much attention towards this in general. Python is seen as an AI-enabler backend language.

[sleek hollow]

I work with python GUIs daily...

[somber hemlock]

Cool. Don't you look out for alternatives?

[sleek hollow]

Why do I need to?

I'm lightning fast with python gui. If we have a problem that needs solving, I can whip up a gui and have it out quickly

[somber hemlock]

You use Qt Widgets iirc

[sleek hollow]

yeah

I'm not building huge enterprise software with python. I'm building in-house tools to solve specific problems

[digital rose]

Just in case anyone that helped earlier was wondering, the specific issue related to Tkinter not displaying proportional ASCII images is mostly related to not using monospace fonts. Using unicode spaces like em spaces was redundant. Simply specifying the strings as raw and using monospace fonts makes the art render exactly as it looks in other programs like notepad.

[tribal path]

And I think in kivy

[civic garnet]

Hello I joined the discord to ask if there is anyway to embed lightweight_charts / Chart object/window to a frame. It opens in a seperate window I guess a TopLevel but I am not sure. Did anyone worked with it before ? (I am not pro level in python so sorry for if th equestion is silly.)

[frosty nacelle]

I made a console application for a task manager project (as a beginner project).

What is a good beginner friendly library for making it into a GUI based application? Is there any crash course for the basics that isn't 3 hours+? I don't mind rewriting my code.

Nvm, I think I will make it with Tkinter. Found a 50 minute crash course

[tight ice]

I don't suppose its possible for you to show a small demo type thing - I've tried making (g)interfaces in python before with little success so I just switched to electron

[winter moat]

I'm writing a rather simple Python application in which I would like to have a multiline textfield, textbox or textarea to which I can add received responses over time. Been searching for days now on the internet, DearPyGui documentation and forum and on this Pyhton discord server. Unfortunately I have not found anything which will provide the possibility to build up a text or list like this. I did manage to update a piece of text but this way only the last received response is shown.

Is it possible in DearPyGui to build up and display a list of text like this? If so how would one do that? I can't imagine such a rather simple functionality is impossible to accomplish in a DearPyGui interface.

[somber hemlock]

Can you send an image of what you want?

[winter moat]

This is the code I use to send commands to GRBL and receive responses from GRBL.

def send_command(command):
global ser
if ser and ser.is_open:
ser.write((command + '\n').encode())
time.sleep(0.1) # Wait for GRBL to process command
dpg.set_value("##GCODE_INPUT", "")
else:
dpg.add_text("Serial port is not open")

def receive_response():
global ser
response = ser.readline().decode().strip()
return response

def listen_to_GRBL():
global ser
status = True
# Define a function to continuously read responses
while status:
response = receive_response()
if response:
print(response)
if "ok" in response or "error" in response:
status = False

What I would like is a text area, multiline testfield or something in which I can add the responses and build uit a list of responces received during a session. Preferably with a scrollbar.
Example of output I would like in the list or textbox
Response:
Response ok
Response ok
$0=10
$1=25
$2=0
$3=0
$4=0
$5=0
$6=0
$10=1
$11=0.010
$12=0.002
$13=0

[sleek hollow]

Demo of code or just an image of the UI?

[tight ice]

Image of code I suppose - And a couple months ago you said you just hardcode it (instead of using any designer that generates ui files), surely this takes ages to develop because you have to reload the ui everytime you make a change

[tight ice]

Also do the uis scale

[sleek hollow]

The code is hundreds of lines long and uses imports of other widget classes/utility functions I've created so it's a bit hard to share

and yeah, reloading the ui takes like half a second. If you use designer, you'd also have to reload the UI to see your changes so I don't know what the difference there is?

[sleek hollow]

Depends on the UI. Some of them I used fixed sizes, but some expand if there's content in it the user might want to have more space for

If my UI uses a large data set and would make it slow to develop, I would usually use a smaller sample while I build the UI, and then afterwards I'd swap it to using the larger data set

[somber hemlock]

@sleek hollow did you finally use the QAbstractItemModel yet?

[sleek hollow]

Yeah I've used it. Not too often though

[somber hemlock]

Its so poorly implemented in python

[sleek hollow]

how so?

[somber hemlock]

The internal pointer thing really disappears

[sleek hollow]

I guess I don't know what I'm missing out on since I don't use c++

[somber hemlock]

Completely ignoring python's memory management

Like in C++ you can have a nullptr, but in Python you can't, but thanks to Qt, you actually can

Have you finally jumped ship over to QML or still on Qt widgets?

[sleek hollow]

nah haven't touched qml yet

[somber hemlock]

Qml is haphazard tbh

Its still just a second thought

[sleek hollow]

I don't really have a reason to jump over. I have a fairly big library of custom widgets I'd rather not have to recreate

[somber hemlock]

What custom widgets have you created?

[sleek hollow]

not so much in the styling, but in the functionality

with functionality that fetch specific data that I can reuse in my UI

[somber hemlock]

What base class are you using for them

[sleek hollow]

Usually QWidget

[somber hemlock]

Means are they like infinite scroller type thingies?

That's pretty common i guess

[sleek hollow]

nah nothing like. These are all UI I use for Autodesk Maya

so it's specific functionality to my pipeline there

fetching scene assets, configuring scene data into objects and displaying them in lists, etc

[somber hemlock]

Gtk has arguably gotten a better list / tree model / view impl

[sleek hollow]

Maya is built on Qt so it has seamless pyside integration

[somber hemlock]

You should look at it once just for like inspiration

[somber hemlock]

That's cool

[ionic charm]

hard to decide if this should go into here or web.. here because its a desktop interface. but web because.. well its web 🤷 lol
anyway, ive been working on a little project. think of it as "kind of" electron for python, though also really not..
long story short its a template for designing desktop apps using python and astro (https://astro.build) to create nice interfaces using web technologies
astro has the benefit also of using the concept of islands and allowing one to use any framework they like, vua,react,lit,svelte whatever suits you, though my framework provides for plain astro components or vue by default.

Designer you can drag/drop/manipulate visually

Okay

Is building uis a main aspect of your job?

[sleek hollow]

I'd say about half. I usually have a task and decide I'll build a tool to solve it

[sleek hollow]

Sure I guess, but then you still need to export and launch the UI to confirm and test

[sleek hollow]

I can visualize my UI as I build it with code

[tight ice]

I guess if you're very experienced with creating uis you can just do it your way as you know how everything will turn out anyway

[tight ice]

Cool stuff

What kind of task?

[sleek hollow]

I work with 3d artwork and deal with character setup, as well as writing tools to support the animators

So recently I wrote a script that took a 2d sprite sheet and created a custom texture so we could display and animate it as the face of a 3d character

Then created a supporting tool for animators to actually interact with that setup

There's no way I could have built that UI in designer since it's almost entirely dynamic. It detects any character in the scene with that setup in my animation file, and dynamically creates a tab for that character populated with buttons for that character's face

What is the best python-based GUI to learn?

there isn't much evolution in python gui. you can pick up a frontend js lib like react, to see how uis are getting built nowadays. there's also react wrappers like reflex which try to have a similar notion of state driven UIs

hi, i need help with a basic window (on W11). (first time I code with python)

I want to highlight an area on the screen based on a region (x, y, width, height).
To do this, I'm creating a window with 50% opacity to easily visualize the area.
I want to set a red background color, but my "highlight" area is still white.

How can I get opacity + background color in my window?

This is my code:

import time
import win32api
import win32con
import win32gui

class Highlight():

    def __init__(self, x: int, y: int, w: int, h: int):
        self.registerWindowClass()
        self.createWindow((x, y, w, h))
        
    def registerWindowClass(self):
        self.window = win32gui.WNDCLASS()
        self.window.hInstance = win32api.GetModuleHandle(None)
        self.window.lpszClassName = 'Highlight'
        self.window.style = win32con.CS_HREDRAW | win32con.CS_VREDRAW
        self.window.hCursor = win32gui.LoadCursor(0, win32con.IDC_ARROW)
        self.window.hbrBackground = win32gui.CreateSolidBrush(
            win32api.RGB(255, 0, 0))
        win32gui.RegisterClass(self.window)
        
    def createWindow(self, rect: tuple[int, int, int, int]):
        self.hwnd = win32gui.CreateWindowEx(
            win32con.WS_EX_LAYERED | win32con.WS_EX_TOPMOST | win32con.WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW,
            self.window.lpszClassName, '', win32con.WS_POPUP,
            *rect,
            None, None, self.window.hInstance, None
        )
        win32gui.SetLayeredWindowAttributes(
            self.hwnd, win32api.RGB(255, 0, 0), 128, win32con.LWA_ALPHA)

    def show(self):
        win32gui.ShowWindow(self.hwnd, win32con.SW_SHOWNORMAL)
        time.sleep(5)
        self.close()

    def close(self):
        if self.hwnd:
            win32gui.DestroyWindow(self.hwnd)
            win32gui.UnregisterClass(self.window.lpszClassName, None)
            self.hwnd = None

[orchid hemlock]

okay, I finally made it work. Maybe I can do better/simplier ?

import time
import win32api
import win32con
import win32gui

class Highlight():

    def __init__(self, x: int, y: int, w: int, h: int):
        self.registerWindowClass()
        self.createWindow((x, y, w, h))
        
    def registerWindowClass(self):
        self.window = win32gui.WNDCLASS()
        self.window.hInstance = win32api.GetModuleHandle(None)
        self.window.lpszClassName = 'Highlight'
        self.window.style = win32con.CS_HREDRAW | win32con.CS_VREDRAW
        self.window.hCursor = win32gui.LoadCursor(0, win32con.IDC_ARROW)
        self.window.lpfnWndProc = self.wndProc
        win32gui.RegisterClass(self.window)
        
    def createWindow(self, rect: tuple[int, int, int, int]):
        self.hwnd = win32gui.CreateWindowEx(
            win32con.WS_EX_LAYERED | win32con.WS_EX_TOPMOST | win32con.WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW,
            self.window.lpszClassName, '', win32con.WS_POPUP,
            *rect,
            None, None, self.window.hInstance, None
        )
        win32gui.SetLayeredWindowAttributes(
            self.hwnd, 0, 64, win32con.LWA_ALPHA)

    def show(self):
        win32gui.ShowWindow(self.hwnd, win32con.SW_SHOWNORMAL)
        win32gui.UpdateWindow(self.hwnd)
        time.sleep(5)
        self.close()

    def close(self):
        if self.hwnd:
            win32gui.DestroyWindow(self.hwnd)
            win32gui.UnregisterClass(self.window.lpszClassName, None)
            self.hwnd = None

    def wndProc(self, hWnd, message, wParam, lParam):
        if message == win32con.WM_PAINT:
            hdc, ps = win32gui.BeginPaint(hWnd)
            brush = win32gui.CreateSolidBrush(0x0000FF)
            client_rect = win32gui.GetClientRect(hWnd)
            win32gui.FillRect(hdc, client_rect, brush)
            win32gui.EndPaint(hWnd, ps)
            return 0
        else:
            return win32gui.DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam)

When it comes to user interface, does this come down to software/app development?

[sleek hollow]

user interface is just a visual window that is displayed that you can interact with

but yes, just about every software uses some sort of UI

[sacred wasp]

Where should I get started with software development?

[sleek hollow]

Start with an idea 🙂

[sacred wasp]

I have an idea I’d like to try

Just looking to see how I’d bring it to life

[sleek hollow]

Pick a UI library and start learning it. How long have you been using python for?

[sacred wasp]

I coded a discord bot with python back in 2020

That’s it

My GitHub is on my profile for reference

I forgot a lot from then

[sleek hollow]

I'd refamiliarize yourself with the basics of python then before jumping into learning a UI library

[sacred wasp]

Sounds good

I'm trying to build a mobile app with kivy, but scaling buttons and other stuff is a bit hard. They look completely different when ran from the py file than on .APK file, well the screen is very different so it makes sense.
Just thinking how to scale them properly or do I just need to do trial and error? The build takes ~30 minutes which sucks a bit

This wouldn't work wouldn't it?
I wanted to make my tkinter app wait for any running task to properly close before closing the app

[royal cape]

in general im strongly in favour of using asyncio.run() for handling cleanup because of how much needs to be done, but i cant think of a way to apply that here given that one of the tasks is updating the GUI...

my recent take on this was having a fairly simple EventThread class handle the lifetime of the event loop in a separate thread which allows tkinter and asyncio to wait on separate things at once, or in other words not block each other, but hooking it up to tkinter took a bit more effort, and of course it may not be an easy change to do for your existing code

here's the gist of that design: https://gist.github.com/thegamecracks/564bd55af973827f8a05b48f197d5c09
and my recent application of it: https://github.com/thegamecracks/dum-dum-irc/blob/main/src/dumdum/client/app.py

in short, coroutines get submitted to the event loop and callbacks are used to send information/events from those coroutines back to the tkinter GUI to be acted upon

Guys did every of you had problems with learning qt for python

?

I just cant learn it

I am stuck

I am the only one or someone else had troubles with it

[sleek hollow]

I really struggled with it in the start too. There's a lot to take in

How long have you been learning python for?

[zenith wyvern]

Two years

[sleek hollow]

are you comfortable with OOP?

[zenith wyvern]

I think I am

[sleek hollow]

what do you find yourself struggling with for qt then?

can you build a basic UI?

[zenith wyvern]

Now I am making sure I am making great understand of all builded in stuff in python

But yeah I can make ui in qt designer

[sleek hollow]

I really recommend not touch designer if you want to properly learn

you'll be much better off

learn how to build a basic UI from scratch

[zenith wyvern]

So you think that coding everything by yourself is better to understand everything

[sleek hollow]

100%

stay far away from designer

[zenith wyvern]

I will

Thank you

Once I will learn django and sth like fast api I want to learn qt

[sleek hollow]

you should be able to learn the basics of a UI in a few days for qt (pyside)

make ui, add a layout, add a button, connect button to function

that's majority of what you'll be doing early on

[zenith wyvern]

I hope it will be easy

It wont be but

I have to have faith

[sleek hollow]

once you understand that basic structure, it's not too hard

[zenith wyvern]

I hope it will be like you are you saying

[sleek hollow]

from PySide2 import QtWidgets


class Window(QtWidgets.QDialog):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)

        btn = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Push Me.")
        btn.clicked.connect(self.on_btn_clicked)
        layout.addWidget(btn)


    def on_btn_clicked(self):
        print("Hello World")


app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
win = Window()
win.show()
app.exec_()

Here's a basic window with a button

study it, learn from it

then try adding things to it, try changing things

[zenith wyvern]

Learn by coding or at first trying to learn it by heart

[sleek hollow]

learn by doing

get to a point where you can create this very simple UI without any issue

code this twice a day until you've internalized it

[zenith wyvern]

So I just have to write write and once again write

[sleek hollow]

yes

this structure is needed in just about every qt program

[somber hemlock]

although the original c++ qt docs are wayy better

[hybrid flint]

Hi! there is someone that know well kivy and kivymd ? 🙂

[steady halo]

r
I want to make a small app is it better to start with the ui first or coding first, also what ui designer is the best right now? so far I've only used QtDesigner

[sleek hollow]

Stay far far away from qt designer

[steady halo]

💀 why

[sleek hollow]

Because you won't actually learn anything about qt. Trust me, you'll be far better off if you learn to code UI from scratch

[steady halo]

damn ok

but we're learning it in school so i guess i have no choice

what other ui designer should i use

[sleek hollow]

that's unfortunate

[steady halo]

yea

ill learn one on the side i guess

[sleek hollow]

None, just code it

[steady halo]

why not?

oo

[sleek hollow]

because it's not practical

[steady halo]

wait but how do i get the app to look good

[sleek hollow]

by understanding design principles

[steady halo]

python can design apps without ui designers?

[sleek hollow]

I coded this from scratch. It's not pretty by any means, but it was just a quick example

you still use PyQt or PySide, just don't use Qt Designer

[steady halo]

Ok, so you still code it with Qt but u dont design it on the QtDesigner app itself

[sleek hollow]

correct

[steady halo]

okok thanks

[sleek hollow]

once you understand basic layouts, you can visualize it and just make it

or you can mock it up in a drawing program first like photoshop, or even good ol' pen and paper

[steady halo]

Yeah that's what I did with a homework we had, because I found it much easier than the way we were taught to. Apparently when doing it on the Designer app you need to create a layout then export it and convert it to python code to use it

so anytime its modified you need to redo the whole process

[steady halo]

Yeah I'll do it this way to start

[sleek hollow]

exactly

you can also create reusable custom widgets if you code them from scratch

for example, it can be a few steps if you want to create a button with an icon displayed on it

Create button
Create QIcon
Set icon to button

It's even more of a pain if you want to resize that icon

[steady halo]

ok yea

[sleek hollow]

or instead, you could create your own custom class that accepts an image path as an argument and handles it all for you

class ImageButton(QtWidgets.QPushButton):

    def __init__(self, img_path):
        super(ImageButton, self).__init__()
        self.img = QtGui.QPixmap(img_path)
        icon = QtGui.QPixmap(img_path)
        self.setIcon(QtGui.QIcon(icon))
        self.setIconSize(icon.size())

it's not super exciting, but now I can just use ImageButton whenever I want a button with an image

I have a whole file full of custom classes like this which is a huge time saver

[steady halo]

Ok yea it seems more practical sincce you can reuse it

[steady halo]

smart

but even if I'm only doing most of the design in python itself, should I stick to QtDesigner or something else

[sleek hollow]

stay away from designer, lol

[steady halo]

Ok so you dont even have the app

[sleek hollow]

Nope

[steady halo]

its only the PyQt

ok i get it now

[sleek hollow]

I spent like a month with designer when I first started learning qt and if anything, it set me back

[steady halo]

ok thanks for the advice

[sleek hollow]

I don't know of anyone who uses it professionally. I think it's good for people who have no intention of actually learning Qt and just want a quick UI to plug things into

[hybrid flint]

[tribal path]

You are nesting a Screen within a Screen there, not sure if that's causing any issues, is the issue with station_to_delete; what happens there?

[hybrid flint]

May the quote in discord made this cause in my kv file i dont see 2 screen nesting 😦

[tribal path]

StationListScreen is a Screen, into which you have added another as a child widget @hybrid flint

hey guys, Im a beginner py dev and wanted to create a music player in python, it's got a rather slick and modern look. I did design it in figma and would like to create a functioning replica in python

from the looks of it, i think it would be rather complicated to create it using an existing library like tkinter so should i go with using css and html, ie, as a flask project

this is the ui if you're wondering

[sleek hollow]

You could create this with pyqt

nothing (visually) looks too complex here. It uses a custom font, and has some image buttons

[narrow hedge]

well, Ill give it a go

though can I give the image assets for individual components like the slider?

[hybrid flint]

you mean because in the i define it as : class StationListScreen(Screen) , in the kv file i dont need this:```kv
<StationListScreen>
Screen:

ok so i delete the "Screen:" , but my call to the button isnt working always 😦

[sleek hollow]

there's nothing really special about that slider. White track, orange circle as handle

[hybrid flint]

Ok i'm a noob .... look at well at my kv file code -_-

Cooridinates or row/col (pack and grid)?

Hi, i solve part of my problem on kivymd mddattable ^^ now i'm trying to have a way to fetch selected row in my table. in mddatatable there is :python def on_check_press(self, instance_table, current_row): '''Called when the check box in the table row is checked.''' print(instance_table, current_row) i use it to bind a click on checkbox : python class StationListScreen(Screen): def on_pre_enter(self, **kwargs): self.tableau = MDDataTable( use_pagination=False, check=True, size_hint=(.1, .8) , pos_hint={"center_x": .5, "center_y": .5}, column_data=[ ("Station", dp(40)), ("id", dp(30)), ], row_data=data, ) tab_box.add_widget(self.tableau) self.tableau.bind(on_check_press=self.on_check_press) def on_check_press(self,instance_table,current_row): print(instance_table, current_row) problem : it take each click on the checkbox but i dont know it the row is selected or unselected. so i try to deal with the function on_check_press like that :```python
def on_check_press(self,instance_table,current_row):
'''Called when the check box in the table row is checked.'''
click = 0
if click == 0:
current_row.append(True)
self.checked.append(current_row)
click += 1
else:
current_row.append(False)
self.checked.append(current_row)
click = 0
return self.checked

Hello guys, is anyone worked with CTk, CTkTable?

i used CTkTable for show data from database, but idk, how to add scroll with vertical orientation 😦

import CTkTable

table = CTkTable.CTkTable(master=frame, row=1, column=3, text_color="blue",
                          font=("Roboto", 16, "bold"), wraplength=300, header_color="white")
table.grid(row=2, column=0, columnspan=1, padx=[20,10], pady=[0, 50], sticky='nsew')

yscrollbar = customtkinter.CTkScrollbar(master=frame, orientation="vertical")
yscrollbar.grid(row=2, column=1, padx=[0, 25], pady=[0,50], sticky='nse')

As a result after filling table by data i have smt like that:
I'm tried to find resolution of that problem in stackoverflow, but find only smt like add that part in CTkScrollBar()

command=table.yview

and after that add configuration like

table.configure(yscrollcommand=yscrollbar.set)

But it don't work

Error log:

 AttributeError: 'CTkTable' object has no attribute 'yview'

Maybe anyone have some idea, how to resolve that problem?

ScrollBar doesn't displayed because of error
Upd: CTkTable also don't have attribute "yscrollcommand"

Oh, i just placed CTkTable in CTkScrollableFrame

[mighty rock]

You're using ttk.Label. You need to use a style to change something like a background color and font

Well it doesn't work that way so you probably missed the fact it's tk.Label, not ttk.Label

Or just use a style and do it the modern way

Well it's possible but what is this for

I mean like what does this macro do

Why do you want it to record mouse positions

!d mouse

Hold on

Well there's the mouse package which can record and replay mouse actions

I'd recommend running the recording and replaying in its own thread, separate to the one running the GUI

It records mouse actions

Not keyboard actions

And yes

    if key == ord('t'):  
        print("The 't' key is pressed")

    elif key == ord('q'):
        break
    diagonal_line_screen = draw_diagonal_line(screen)
    cv2.imshow("Modified Screen", diagonal_line_screen)        

    
cv2.destroyAllWindows()``` but this doesnt: ```while true:

key = cv2.waitKey(1)
if key == ord('t'):
print("The 't' key is pressed")
screen, rect = capture_screen(window_title)
diagonal_line_screen = draw_diagonal_line(screen)
cv2.imshow("Modified Screen", diagonal_line_screen)
elif key==ord('r'):
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
elif key == ord('q'):
break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()```

when i try to make it so the image would apear when i press "t" it just doesnt work

    while True:
        print(drawn)
        key = cv2.waitKey(1)
        if key == ord('t') and not drawn:
            print("key t pressed")

@gilded basalt https://canary.discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1226332240208986192
you probably want to disable your text widget so it cant be edited:
https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/text.html#basics

To prevent users from changing a text widget, set the state configuration option to disabled. Re-enable editing by setting this option back to normal.

(although there seems to be a note mentioning that you have to re-enable it before you can make further changes to the text)

oh derp, i misread your question

[gilded basalt]

I wanted to enable a specific line and have the rest disabled. But it's OK because I solved it. I just disabled the keyboard if it's on the wrong line

[royal cape]

huh, im curious, how did you disable the keyboard?

[gilded basalt]

whenever a key is pressed, its position gets checked. If it's position is wrong: return "break". This prevents the key from doing it's action

I can show you the code if that helps. I'm not usually good at explaining

[royal cape]

like you have a tag covering the entirety of the text, and a binding to determine if the insert mark is in the right place?

[gilded basalt]

how do I do the thing where I can put text into python so I can show you better

[royal cape]

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py

```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[gilded basalt]

current_row = math.floor(float(text_box.index("insert")))  # checks the position of the "insert" cursor (whatever the | line is called when you're typing) and only takes the integer part, which designates the row
def input_checker(event):
  if math.floor(float(text_box.index("insert"))) == current_row:
  # do normal text stuff
  else:
    return "break"

text_box.bind("<Key>", input_checker)

If you would like more understanding, I can send the entire function it is in

[royal cape]

ah i get it now, TIL bind can interrupt built-in bindings
https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/bind.htm#M55

well kind of, given the rules in the link im not too sure why the custom binding gets called before the built-in insert binding

[gilded basalt]

All I know is that it works and I'm happy because I was working on this one problem for over 2 hours

[royal cape]

oh wait, the built-in one is probably a class binding so it can be the same between text widgets

text_width = len(text_content) * 10  # assuming each character width is approximately 10 pixels
text_x = screen_width - text_width - 10  # 10 pixels margin from the right
text_y = 10  # 10 pixels from the top

# Main loop to continuously display text
while True:
    display_text(text_content, text_x, text_y)```
When i put this into my code it works and Hello, World! pops up in top right but the actual cmd doesnt load and just stays blannk and doesnt load the actual program if someone could help would mean a lot thanks ❤️

[shut sleet]

It sounds like the issue might be related to the fact that the script is continuously running the display_text() function in an infinite loop without allowing the main program to proceed. This could prevent the cmd window from properly displaying the rest of the program.

does this help ?

    hdc = win32gui.GetDC(0)

    bg_color = win32api.RGB(0, 0, 0)
    lf = win32gui.LOGFONT()
    lf.lfHeight = -20
    lf.lfFaceName = "Arial"
    font = win32gui.CreateFontIndirect(lf)
    old_font = win32gui.SelectObject(hdc, font)
    win32gui.SetTextColor(hdc, text_color)
    win32gui.SetBkColor(hdc, bg_color)
    win32gui.ExtTextOut(hdc, x, y, win32con.ETO_CLIPPED, None, text)
    win32gui.SelectObject(hdc, old_font)
    win32gui.DeleteObject(font)
    win32gui.ReleaseDC(0, hdc)

def display_text_thread():
    text_content = "Hello, World!"
    screen_width = win32api.GetSystemMetrics(win32con.SM_CXSCREEN)
    text_width = len(text_content) * 10
    text_x = screen_width - text_width - 10
    text_y = 10
    while True:
        display_text(text_content, text_x, text_y)
        time.sleep(0.1)  # Add a small delay to reduce CPU usage

# Start the display_text_thread in a separate thread
display_thread = threading.Thread(target=display_text_thread)
display_thread.start()

# Main program continues running here
# Add your main program logic below```
Are there still problems?

this code alone shouldn't work at all. where are you creating the window, setting the window proc?

For tkinter, does frame class have anything similar to update method so I can override in subclass?
If not how can I make something similar?

Just realized PyQtGraph 0.13.5, if you use PyQtGraph, and especially if you use PyQtGraph's QApplication instantiation method (pg.mkQApp()) and use light/dark mode, please upgrade quickly and let me know in the #pyqtgraph channel if it's working as expected still.

[dull lark]

Not sure what the etiquette for posting links to our GitHub and I didn't want to spam multiple channels. I made a PerlTK script and have been using it for 12+ years almost daily. I learned Python this year and have been spending the last month or so translating the functions over to a Python TK script.

https://github.com/HuskyCougar/abc.tk.py

One thing I could do in Perl but have not been able to figure out in Python is scoping variables outside the current script. Perl's "our" scope allowed me to build my Tk window in my main script and then import domain-specific menus and functions that would add to the base functions.

One assumption is that i would need to convert my MainWindow over to a class and then import functions that would modify my original MainWindow.

Like I said though, I am still a Python n00b and only build Python scripts if someone specifically asks for a notebook or I expect someone else ((most likely younger than a certain age 🙂 )) to have to make modifications to them in the future.

how do i get an underline for the text in my widget (button specifically) for my tkinter app?

[smoky field]

put 'underline' in the font

@ebon mango

[ebon mango]

i'm using ttk so font isn't an option, how can i get around this?

[smoky field]

dont use ttk

use button = Button()

@ebon mango

[mighty rock]

I think some underline is already a thing for button widgets, but anyway you can configure the font via the widget's style

I'd like to ask what GUI framework can handle my python scripts, the first one uses mediapipe, opencv and keras. The second one uses panda3d engine to display 3d animations based on user input. Im a newbie so I dont know a lot of things, I would like these scripts to be integrated to the GUI framework, and package the framework into windows, android and ios. TIA

[hybrid flint]

Hi ! does somebody already use the kivymd MDDatepicker ?

[tribal path]

Kivy may work here, with the panda3d-kivy addon@tepid hedge

[rose gorge]

I just wrote 1000 lines of tkinter with the place manager, and found out that I can do that in 300 lines with grid manager

I'm dying

[zenith wyvern]

oh

poor you

[tepid hedge]

panda3d-kivy addon would would integrate kivy to panda3d right? What I want is the other way around, build UI in kivy or other framework then add the panda3d on home page or such. I don't know much about the addon, but it would use kivy inside panda3d window right? If these are not possible, would it better to make it a web app instead? but I have no idea with web app dev. Idk how to integrate my scripts on web.

[zenith wyvern]

You can also think about making an button which opens a game window

[hybrid flint]

anyone ?

[tribal path]

I've not used the add-on myself, mostly as not needed to use panda3d; but do know the maintainer.

But yea the add-on as I understand it, just ensures that they are using the same window as a way to use both libraries.

[hybrid flint]

cause i want to make a month selector with this module but i dont found in the documentation how to do it:(

[tribal path]

What's the issue? The kivyMD pickers would be for a whole date; hence the name. For just a month selector you'd need to modify the MD widgets and/or write your own with kivy widgets

[hybrid flint]

ah :/ there is no propertys to change to just make a month selector damn

its because i want to display month data so i want to make just a month selector. But may i'll need to just make a dropdown menu with the month

and how i modify an MDwidget ?

[tribal path]

Well MD widgets are just collections of kivy widgets - possibly you might get away with removing widgets from a Picker to leave what you want, but most likely there'll be much more going on... I'll just check the source on that

[hybrid flint]

thanks

[zenith wyvern]

WoW man this looks like a lot of work

or am I wrong?

[late jay]

It kinda is... but not really in the grand scheme of things

just the source code for the "renderer" is 470 lines

But after the renderer is written, setting stuff up for render is pretty easy.

def test():
    master_widget = MasterWidget()

    list_widget = VerticalLayoutWidget(spacing=0)
    list_widget.width = 30
    list_widget.height = 30

    for i in range(20):
        text = TextBox(f"List item {i} {"*"*(i)}", RenderColor(GameColor(math.floor(i*255/20), math.floor(i*255/20), 0)))
        text.attach_to_parent(list_widget)

    list_widget.attach_to_parent(master_widget)
    textbox_widget = DecoratedTextBox(
        "Hello\n there,\n mr kenobi guardian of the\n galaxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy",
        BoxTexture(
            "/-\\| |\\-/",
            [
                RenderColor(GameColor(255, 0, 0)),
                RenderColor(None, GameColor(0, 100, 0)),
            ],
        ),
    )

    textbox_widget.set_height(13)
    textbox_widget.set_width(13)

    textbox_widget.attach_to_parent(master_widget)
    textbox_widget.set_horizontal_alignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center)
    textbox_widget.set_vertical_alignment(VerticalAlignment.Center)

    list_widget.set_horizontal_alignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center)

    master_widget.render()

I'm unsure whether I should bind input or animations with the widgets...

hi

i have some problems with pyqt can anyone help

its a very weird issue that i dont see why is occurring

def setupUi(self, MainWindow):

        MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
        MainWindow.resize(800, 642)
        self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(parent=MainWindow)
        self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget")
        
        self.chatwindow = QtWidgets.QPlainTextEdit(parent=self.centralwidget)
        self.chatwindow.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 651, 541))
        self.chatwindow.setObjectName("chatwindow")
        # lock chat window
        self.chatwindow.setReadOnly(True)

this is the code i have in pyqt5

its only a snippet

under a class Ui_MainWindow

and i have a separate function inside the same class where im trying to access self.chatwindow

but an error shows up telling no attribute

ik the scope but still vscode shows me recommendations while coding

is there any fix to this or any alternative to access them out of scope coz even global doesnt seem to work

[wraith jewel]

its very huge

i can only show the two functions because thats where im facing the issues

def sendmessage(self):
        
        self.chatwindow.setReadOnly(False)
        # append new text to chat window
        
        self.chatwindow.appendPlainText(finaltext)
        self.chatwindow.setReadOnly(True)
        self.input.clear()

this is a snippet of the other function i am talking about

[sleek hollow]

where do you call this? Where do you call setupUI?

[wraith jewel]

well its the part of a class Ui_MainWindow in pyqt5 so it doesnt need to be called separately

[digital rose]

W

[wraith jewel]

basically all functions in the class run on their own without separate calling but the problem is i need to access some elements from setupui in other function

under the same class

[sleek hollow]

can you share that class?

why would you assume it calls things automatically?

do you see your UI actually show up?

[wraith jewel]

no

because it throws an error before it can

[sleek hollow]

because you're likely trying to call sendmessage before setupUI

[wraith jewel]

no its after setupui

alright i kind of fixed it now i was missing something in the arguments

thank you but i still had another doubt

are you using QThread for the threading?

hi everyone,

i'm going to be working on building some custom software this summer, and i'd like to know more about the front end. i need the capacity to make really high quality custom graphics, say something that came out of like unity or unreal, and i need the user to be able to import files of specific types into the software for display. if anyone could offer a very basic overview of how to make this happen, i'd be much appreciative. i know how i'm going to make the backend work and which files but i don't know how to applicationize everything

[sleek hollow]

Can I ask why not just use unity or unreal?

[digital rose]

Maybe that is what I need to do

But I need to operationalize custom algorithms within it to manipulate the input files

[digital rose]

how do those programs work, do you get to write code inside of them to operationalize stuff?

i'm sure there is already a lot of stuff under the hood like the code for physics et cetera

Heya, can someone tell me which UI framework to use which can be easy to use and design which I can then integrate with python. I'm looking to create something like a movie ticket booking system for a multiplex (displaying like seat layout, movie posters etc).

Is django ideal for this?

[sleek hollow]

django is specific to web. If you want a python UI, use PySide or tkinter

[wet marsh]

Is there any mini project/tutorial I can refer. I never really worked on any UI framework, am not really sure how to implement a seat layout

[wet marsh]

PySide is Qt ri8?

[sleek hollow]

Yes

[sleek hollow]

Is the seat layout just a basic grid?

This will quite a large undertaking if this is your first time working with UI

[wet marsh]

Seating like a movie theatre like the top row would have more seats, so not really a basic grid

[wet marsh]

I'm okay with that

[sleek hollow]

as long as you have some sort of 2d list of how many seats are in each row, it wouldn't be too hard to replicate

You would ideally create some sort of widget to represent 1 seat

[wet marsh]

Yes it's 2d

[sleek hollow]

then create a layout to hold a row of seats

then iterate the rows and create the required num of seats per row

[wet marsh]

Is there something like QtLayout?

[sleek hollow]

There's QVBoxLayout for Vertical and QHBoxLayout for Horizontal

[wet marsh]

BTW is there any resource for beginners for UI development?

[sleek hollow]

https://www.pythonguis.com/tutorials/pyside-creating-your-first-window/

[wet marsh]

Not framework specific, but something that helps to get the gist of it

[sleek hollow]

This site is a great resource

[sleek hollow]

every GUI is going to have its own specific quirks

[wet marsh]

Thanks a lot, I will check that out

[sleek hollow]

good design applies to any GUI, but the way of achieving it will vary from each library

[wet marsh]

Can I design a seating layout using tkinter?

Is it possible or is it too basic

[sleek hollow]

you could as well, but I think it would be more of a struggle

tkinter is quicker to learn the basics of, but implementing any sort of complexity gets real frustrating, real quick

pyqt/pyside has a bit of a steeper learning curve for sure

but it's far more robust

I could build a decent basic seating chart in pyqt in roughly 30-40 min

but tkinter it would probably take me much longer

[wet marsh]

Is processing ideal for creating a UI?

[sleek hollow]

not quite sure what you mean by that?

[wet marsh]

https://processing.org/

[sleek hollow]

No clue what this is

@wet marsh I can show you a basic setup for the seating chart if you like

I took this data and created a layout with it

row_data = [5, 5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9]

[wet marsh]

Thanks

What about something like this? Is it too complex?

[sleek hollow]

not at all

[sleek hollow]

with some minor tweaks

selectable seats

building UI is all about implementing one thing at a time

build small pieces, and then put them together

[wet marsh]

Thanks a lot

Can someone explain why do I need to use ``setChecked`` after the ``clicked`` signal? I'm a little confused

[zenith wyvern]

Its used in that case but you dont have to write code in the same exact way

You just dont have to use it

but I will explain

what this code does

When you click the button it opens this function and sets button_is_checked on user input and prints out that this button is checked and set_checked sets button on checked or not checked

do you understand or not

if you dont understand I can try to explain it better in other ways

[royal cape]

^ i dont have much experience with PyQt so i cant say

i mean i struggled to get into it in my last couple of attempts, but i only spent a few hours or so

and i felt the tutorials in Qt for Python i didnt really cover the fundamentals i wanted to know like layouts, but perhaps it would have gone better if i had followed Python GUIs instead

[lucid lintel]

trying to add a password view change into qtdesisgner/ pyqt, but the screen crashes every time i run it... here's the relevant code. commenting out this code loads fine, but it's just the view password button that makes it crash?

pwd is the QLineEdit,

pwdViewBtn, QPushButton for viewing/ hiding password

[sleek hollow]

I bounced off it a few times as well in the start. It eventually just started clicking. I went and rebuilt a lot of UIs I had built already with another library. That gave me a pretty clear goal to work towards which helped a lot

[sleek hollow]

Not really enough info here to know why it's crashing, but also both your conditions are setting the echo mode to the same result. The else should be EchoMode.Password

[tribal path]

You want to connect to a method, thus self.pwdView I assume would not crash... Perhaps with *args if the connect passes an object there too

[sleek hollow]

ahh good catch, yeah, it should be connect(self.pwdView)

they have a , instead

[wet marsh]

I was confused regarding how the event handler works exactly, that's all

[sleek hollow]

[sudden elk]

just a theoretical question. i'm gonna make accessible paint app which will use palette names and keyboard to color (pixelart-focused) which will be integrated with builtin tile and map editor (tiled can say but with less options, also keyboard focused) .
is it better to make it multiple-window or with a back/forward arrow at top (single-window) ?
and how to achieve this in tkinter? (it's the only one i've been using but not for multiple-screen apps, once was looking at pygame but it's totally not me…)

[somber hemlock]

multi window is very 1990. use a single window and switch between multiple Frames

ig multiwindow maybe 2005 but shit uxwise anyways

I have a question regarding the architecture of my code. I am using pyqt6 to create gui’s and I have a use case where I need to reform my UI multiple times so I need to remove widgets and attach new widgets until the end of the use case. Should I set all the widgets that I use (button, labels, qlineedits and etc) at my init function or should I set the widget when the function is triggered to go to the state? What would you do, what is better?

[sleek hollow]

we'd really need more specifics to suggest the best possible solution

[stray axle]

Hi^^ I am currently stuck in one of my projects: I am writing a digital Character Sheet for a Pen and Paper Game using PyQT6 and Pyside 6.
I am trying to add a QFrame that in itself again contains layouts to another layout . I want to try and not use fixed heights but unless I give the Frame either a FixedHeight or MinimumHeight it doesn't show. Is there a trick with nested layouts and size that I am not aware of?
I am trying to make the entire app responsive since I want to package it for android (on tablet)

[sleek hollow]

Frames will only resize to the size of its contents. You can change its size policy to force it to take up more space

Minimum and MinimumExpanding work best

[blazing plinth]

alternative in what sense? in the sense that its builtin - no, i think its the only builtin ui lib
in the sense of like, ui libraries in general - yeah, there are a bunch, dearimgui, pyqt / pyside, raylib bindings maybe?, just search on pypi / github

[sinful dome]

Hello, super new to PyQt and I'm trying to get something working with Whisper and I think I'm approaching it wrong. Can't find much help online so assuming it may not be possible.

I'm trying to get the percentage value from a Whisper transcription and pass it through to a progress bar widget. Thought this would be fairly straightforward as I can see the percentage in the console, and print it through its update, but I can't figure out how to pass that value through to my progress bar

[sleek hollow]

so you do have a way to access that value and save it in a variable?

[sinful dome]

So here's what I have:

class _CustomProgressBar(tqdm.tqdm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self._current = self.n  # Set the initial value
        
    def update(self, n):
        super().update(n)
        self._current += n
        
        # Handle progress here
        print("Progress: " + str(self._current) + "/" + str(self.total))

from here: https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/850#discussioncomment-5443424

which seems to give a bit more access to the actual progress of transcription. But I have tried setting the value in the print to a global variable and get an undefined error elsewhere in the script

[sleek hollow]

what is tqdm?

[sinful dome]

I believe its a library to add progress bars to the terminal

but not certain

[sleek hollow]

I know how to set up a QProgressBar, I just don't know what module you're using here but if you can get the value, the QProgressBar isn't too bad to set up

[royal cape]

what did you try doing to access/set your global variable?

https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/v20231117/whisper/transcribe.py#L228-L230
seems like a pretty hacky workaround having to monkeypatch the tqdm function, but their function doesn't provide any callback to track progress...

[proven basin]

whisper/transcribe.py lines 228 to 230

with tqdm.tqdm(
    total=content_frames, unit="frames", disable=verbose is not False
) as pbar:```

The <@&831776746206265384> have been alerted for review.

[sinful dome]

this is the difficulty i'm hitting, and i think there is something with how it executes the transcription that makes me unable to track it from other functions

but literally on day 2 of messing with this so very likely missing something

percentage = int((self._current / self.total) * 100)

calculating percentage like this, had tried assigning it as global percentage but was getting undefined errors.

i have another function handling the audio transcription and text file generation, but because this line:

result = whisper.transcribe(model, audio, language="en", compression_ratio_threshold=1)

seems to handle the entire transcription loop I can't access the percentage value while its running, I think

[royal cape]

i imagine its further complicated by the fact that transcribe() is a blocking function so it cant run in the same thread as your GUI (unless you don't mind it being frozen)

[sinful dome]

ahhh

[royal cape]

qt has their own QThread class iirc, not familiar with how to use it though

[sinful dome]

I might just have to abandon, its only a small thing but would really like to get it in at some stage

trying to base my ui off Shutter Encoder if you know it, there's a progress bar in there and I thought it was slick

[royal cape]

https://realpython.com/python-pyqt-qthread/#using-qthread-vs-pythons-threading
hmm, i guess in theory you might use a QThread to run the transcribe function, then in your custom progress's update() method you'd send off the value to your GUI via a signal, and have your progress bar hooked up to that

[sinful dome]

That looks super useful, I guess half the problem I'm having is that the transcription itself needs to be on another thread

emit signals from there

I think my file structure might be a bit off as well

What gui library should i use cuz i am confused a lil

[sleek hollow]

Depends really on a few factors. What are you trying to make? How long have you used Python for? Do you have any experience with GUI

[vital prairie]

I made some apps with customtkinter and i've been developing in python prob for a year now, im trying to make modern looking apps and try something other that ctk

[sleek hollow]

I'd say give PySide6 a try then. It's by far the most robust UI you can use with python

[vital prairie]

What abt pyqt6?

[sleek hollow]

basically the exact same thing

pyqt6 and pyside6 are both python bindings for Qt

[vital prairie]

Oh ok

Bruh

It uses classes

So it wont be as easy as i thought

[sleek hollow]

I'd recommend learning classes then. Learning pyside is actually what really made classes click for me

[vital prairie]

Classes are giving me java flashbacks

[digital rose]

Could we make a windows application and make a UI within it? How would we do that?

[unique marten]

yes, we can do so, for that we need a ui framework, talking about python we have tkinter for very simple to pyside/pyqt for more advance ui then you can compile your python application into exe using pyinstaller, and if you want to distribute it on windows you can use Setup Creation tools like Inno Setup Creator and make installers for you windows application

[lunar zephyr]

pyqt is the best solution

pyqt is flexible to use. you can build ui with qt designer and use it in you python project.

Just build the app with pyinstaller and copy the ui files in the dist folder

[somber hemlock]

ig you need to install a PyQt6 addon package

[rocky dragon]

I've noticed my destroyed signals aren't getting to their slots if the slot is on a bound method after I updated PySide6 (I assume it worked before as I ran into an error I don't remember), is this expected? partial(cls.method, self) works as a workaround though not sure how I feel about it in the long run

I got a basic app to work for a timer, etc. but getting the sound to play just errors w/ mp3 and then sometimes plays w/ wav files

[sleek hollow]

[digital rose]

are there tutorials or repo examples for windows? I wanna make a custom shape like some games did for launchers, a circle and triangle just for practice. I'm assuming i'll have to use images to make these?

You can't literally shape the window, but you can instead use any image with transparency as your window

[lofty pond]

Well there is a few ways, one being creating a GUI with python (either tkinter, pyqt5, dearpygui, etc) and buttons to execute scripts, or simply a console where you enter in numbers for option of script

[somber hemlock]

what is it that you want?

an app icon for your app you made already? like a shortcut?

Is Titlebar customization available in tkinter, or do I have to go for GTK or any other library

I would like to merge some basic buttons into my titlebar, like the Search Button and a few menu items, and I was wondering if that could be done with tkinter.

Thank you.

[somber hemlock]

no. you can make your own custom titlebar tho

[severe spire]

that is a hacky way, isn't it? and it doesn't behave as well as of a titlebar right

I wish there was a function like the set_titlebar() available in gtk

[wintry bay]

painthon

[royal cape]

https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/method.Window.set_titlebar.html

If you set a custom titlebar, GTK will do its best to convince the window manager not to put its own titlebar on the window.
it kind of looks like GTK does the same thing, it just gives you a more convenient API?

apparently on X11, root.wm_attributes("-type", "splash") disables the decorative framing (stackoverflow post, tk reference), but im not sure if you still need to implement window dragging yourself

[severe spire]

but gtk also provides us with a headerbar widget

which is amazing in terms of acting like a titlebar

even the gtk docs suggest to use it if we want to customize your titlebars

[royal cape]

yeah, im not sure tk has a widget that mimics a native titlebar

[severe spire]

and I think gtk headerbars can even be dragged and snapped around

although I haven't experimented with that

[royal cape]

drag sources/targets according to their docs? https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/drag-and-drop.html
tkinter has an experimental dnd module but afaik there's no native tk implementation of it, layout snapping and all

[somber hemlock]

you can just use a click + move event handler instead for the dragging

the best way is to ignore the titlebar. its a very os specific thing

put your stuff below it at the top

[severe spire]

but I kinda want to customize my titlebar

It gives a much polished look to apps, according to me

and for my custom app (version control software), I need that look

hence I was asking about that

but nvm, I'll just use pyGTK

Long story short, I wanted to create a personal script that just runs things in a sequence. But having it as an app trigger instead of a python file I manually run is ideal

The script is supposed to open up other apps and files and feed certain inputs but I just wanted to know if there's an ideal way to just double click and have it run it all in one go

you can create a shortcut which invokes python.exe with your script as an argument. you have all the features a shortcut has this way.

so im trying it out and its not working at all

# initilize imgui context (see documentation)
imgui.create_context()
imgui.get_io().display_size = 100, 100
imgui.get_io().fonts.get_tex_data_as_rgba32()

# start new frame context
imgui.new_frame()

# open new window context
imgui.begin("Your first window!", True)

# draw text label inside of current window
imgui.text("Hello world!")

# close current window context
imgui.end()

# pass all drawing comands to the rendering pipeline
# and close frame context
imgui.render()
imgui.end_frame()

this is the basic rendering loop on the website

I installed the pygame integrtation and it didnt work

I also installed the full and it didnt work

its not like it returns a error either

it's just nothing

and I tried to remove boith end and end_frame to the same result

im looking at it and it has not been updated in the past year

this indeed does nothing, as expected

you are not using pygame renderer at all, so imgui works, but result of it is not drawn anywhere

That's okay!
because I am going to use C++ for developing those applications, and probably not python...

[severe spire]

although thank you very much for sharing this resource with me

[cunning kettle]

so how would I use it?

because no version worked for me

[cunning kettle]

nvm iI got it working by looking at this https://github.com/AbsoluteVirtue/python-cheat-sheet/tree/f21430f77ab44714137e311a7a9217f69603bbf6/pyimgui

still a bit confusing so ima try to get it working inside of my game

Hello, so I would like a little help + explanation regarding the row/columnconfigure I have a frame but I would like the widgets inside to take up all the space

I have the following code, how do I point removeRow to the function in my python script? Since I'm adding it directly to the html I'm not sure how to link it

[spiral apex]

What framework are you using?

[ivory kelp]

NiceGUI, I figured it out though

then registered removeRow as an event

hey guys, has also anyone tried the brand new rio framework for webapps in pure python? https://github.com/rio-labs/rio

[royal cape]

this would be better asked in #web-development, but ffiw their concept seems similar to NiceGUI

[dusky coral]

I'm not very familiar with NiceGUI, but it seems like a more powerful version of Streamlit.

Both NiceGUI and Rio are valid options for smaller web apps. However, Rio might offer easier and more maintainable code as your project grows. It provides reactive state management and allows you to build complex, arbitrarily nested UI layouts with concise syntax.

Anyone have a recommendations for a UI library for an application for sorting simple data? Nothing overly complicated, few buttons, file/text upload and output.

[sleek hollow]

if you just want bare bones UI, go with tkinter. If you want a bit more control and some advanced features like being able to drag and drop a file into the application, go with PySide6

anyone knows a guide or can explain how to package PyQt6 for android? pyqtdeploy doesn't seem to support it

[covert vessel]

Hello guys,
I am writing a code in pyqt according to https://peps.python.org/.
I've seen in examples of pyqt6 that CamelCase is used for variable names. However in pyqt's documentation I found https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6/examples/example_widgets_mainwindows_dockwidgets.html that snake_case is used for variables.
To what name convention should I stick with?

[sleek hollow]

I stick to proper python naming of variables. I find it especially nice to know which methods I'm calling are part of the class I'm inheriting from and which are my own custom ones

[covert vessel]

So for pyqt objects you use CamelCase and for custom methods, variables sanke_case?

[sleek hollow]

no I use snake_case for everything
