UI is a lot more than just plonking shapes down on the screen

[covert rock]

Qt is fairly simple

it's just A LOT of boiler plate

which makes it even sadder that Designer is such dumpster fire

it's faster to literally just type your window design

than use Designer

and typing is already not fast at all lol

I made a subclass of tkinter canvas that lets you set a z-index for objects like you would in html, what do yall think?

is it safe to star import Qt sub libs, like QtWidgets, QtCore, QtGui, etc?

I know it's not recommended

but is it safe?

[royal gull]

Tbf, given that most Qt objects have a Q at the start, it's probably okay. But yeah, it's better to just import the ones you need.

[digital rose]

Using tkinter how do i get the x position of a button? For some reason winfo_x() or winfo_rootx() only return 0

[sleek hollow]

I'd rather just import the full namespace and do QtWidgets.QLabel for example

[trim saddle]

PySide6 have something like this?

[sleek hollow]

Not natively

you could create a custom painted widget for it though

[trim saddle]

hmm

[trim saddle]

Then I can customize it freely right?

[sleek hollow]

you can do whatever you want, yes

pyside and paint events are extremely customizable

[trim saddle]

Thanks!

[trim saddle]

Can I add gradient?

[sleek hollow]

Ok sorry!

There's a higher chance someone at #web-development will know React than in this channel

Relative to what? winfo_x is relative to the parent, winfo_rootx is relative to the root window (usually the entire screen). Note that the button needs to be packed/gridded/placed before you can query this information, otherwise it doesn't make sense to think what its position is

hello, i'm making a whiteboard app and i recently implemented the zoom and movement from an area, it doesn't seem to like the sheet type because it only puts it on the area where i was. idk if i was clear but i'm going to send a screenshot of it zoomed out

here is the code:

def choose_sheet_type(self, sheet_type):
    self.canvas.delete("all")
    self.sheet_lines = []

    if sheet_type == "righe":
        self.canvas.config(bg="white")
        for i in range(0, self.canvas.winfo_height(), 25):
            line = self.canvas.create_line(0, i, self.canvas.winfo_width(), i, fill="lightgray", tag="sheet")
            self.sheet_lines.append(line)
    elif sheet_type == "righe grandi":
        self.canvas.config(bg="white")
        for i in range(0, self.canvas.winfo_height(), 40):
            line = self.canvas.create_line(0, i, self.canvas.winfo_width(), i, fill="lightgray", tag="sheet")
            self.sheet_lines.append(line)
    elif sheet_type == "quadretti piccoli":
        self.canvas.config(bg="white")
        for i in range(0, self.canvas.winfo_height(), 10):
            line = self.canvas.create_line(0, i, self.canvas.winfo_width(), i, fill="lightgray", tag="sheet")
            self.sheet_lines.append(line)
        for i in range(0, self.canvas.winfo_width(), 10):
            line = self.canvas.create_line(i, 0, i, self.canvas.winfo_height(), fill="lightgray", tag="sheet")
            self.sheet_lines.append(line)
    elif sheet_type == "quadretti grandi":
        self.canvas.config(bg="white")

            line = self.canvas.create_line(0, i, self.canvas.winfo_width(), i, fill="lightgray", tag="sheet")
            self.sheet_lines.append(line)
        for i in range(0, self.canvas.winfo_width(), 20):

I have some problem with testing using pytest-qt. I want to simulate left click on QTableWidgetItem
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79007211/qtablewidget-itemat-and-global-or-relative-position-item-click

PySide6

[sleek hollow]

you want to simulate it by item or by position?

[arctic hedge]

actually any

[sleek hollow]

by item, you could just emit the itemClicked signal and pass it an item

self.table.itemClicked.emit(some_item)

[arctic hedge]

so

ok. i'll try it

this is what I finally want to test

   def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton:
            item = self.itemAt(event.pos())
            if item and item.column() != CHECKBOX_COL and item not in (self.key_header, self.val_header, self.right_corner, self.left_corner):
                self.editItem(item)
                print("edit")
        super().mousePressEvent(event)

basiacally it's editing items by one left click

[sleek hollow]

why not just connect to itemClicked then?

[arctic hedge]

not sure if it will fire this signal

sec

[sleek hollow]

I'm testing it now

self.itemClicked.connect(self.edit_item)

def edit_item(self, item):
    self.editItem(item)

this works

trying to get the item from the mousePressEvent isn't necessary when the itemClicked signal already exists

obviously you can add some extra logic here to make sure the clicked item is in a specific column

[arctic hedge]

your solution is more elegant

[arctic hedge]

and thank you!

[sleek hollow]

Sweet. If a channel only has 1 or 2 keyframes, it disables smoothing options and doesn't let you select it by pulling the handle off the toggle.

tkinter question
how do i cut/copy selected text in a Text widget to the clipboard
and paste it

[royal cape]

i believe clipboard append is how tk does it, preceded by clipboard clear
https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/clipboard.htm
https://github.com/thegamecracks/ollama-tk/blob/main/src/ollamatk/messages.py#L78-L80

def _on_content_label_click(self, event: Event) -> None:
    self.clipboard_clear()
    self.clipboard_append(self.content_label["text"])```

[cloud path]

ok

[cloud path]

does tkinter have tick event
I want to check if a textbook is modified to display a *
I'm thinking of checking the edit_modified every frame

[celest pilot]

My awesome new data visualizer!

[mighty rock]

If it's for filling in a password, I think there's an entry type for that

[cloud path]

no

like an editor

I want to show an * when the file is edited

[celest pilot]

I made the data display larger, and scrolling is side-to-side only. It auto centers the display vertically.

[mighty rock]

Use the edit_modified method

I mean you can check it every KeyPress event of the text widget, not necessarily every frame

[royal cape]

tk dispatches the <<Modified>> event whenever their flag changes so you can bind to that instead:
https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/text.htm#M87

The text widget can keep track of changes to the content of the widget by means of the modified flag. Inserting or deleting text will set this flag. The flag can be queried, set and cleared programmatically as well. Whenever the flag changes state a <<Modified>> virtual event is generated.
for example: ```py
text = Text()
text.bind("<<Modified>>", lambda event: print("Is modified?", text.edit_modified()))

root.bind("<Control-s>", lambda event: text.edit_modified(False))

Implicitly triggers above bind```

Any good spot to find PyQT6 themes? I'm finding the default dark theme isn't quite as legible as I would like my form to be. Not sure if I should be tinkering with individual frames etc, I think I'd prefer to pick from some established themes from smarter people than me.

Found this link:
https://stackabuse.com/styling-pyqt6-applications-default-and-custom-qss-stylesheets/

so I can rotate through those three, just curious if there's a better library I can install somewhere. I'm finding some one-off themes in various states of support. This one seems nice:
https://pypi.org/project/qt-material/

I have "Windows11", "Windows", "Windowsvista", and "Fusion" available on my system currently. I think the "Windows11" is pretty flat and the frames are tough to see, "Windows" is more legible but more dated looking (Think PySimpleGUI), Fusion is nice but I don't love that the checkboxes are blue when other things aren't. "Windowsvista" is a decent compromise of legibile/modern but doesn't appear to have a dark mode

[barren lotus]

is it really bad that I kinda like the idea of node and path IDEs

I am a designer not a programmer so I think more spacially. I think the concept is onto something, though the last time I saw something like that, it made essentially each element of the code its own node.

Rather I would like to group entire functions or objects into nodes so I can put them next to each other lol

[lucid python]

Hey I've been having trouble with making tooltips on tkinter for a while and I was wondering if anyone could lend a hand.

My issue is that tooltips only reliably display when moving the mouse from below a widget to above it, and in some cases, if the widget is a button then clicking on the button won't do anything as I believe the tooltip that isn't being displayed properly is somehow blocking it (button is perfectly functional when the tooltip is being displayed btw)

this is how i've made my tooltip class:

class ToolTip:
    def __init__(self, widget, tooltip_text):
        self.widget = widget
        self.tooltip_text = tooltip_text
        self.tip_window = None
        self.widget.bind("<Enter>", self.enter)
        self.widget.bind("<Leave>", self.leave)

    def enter(self, event):
        if self.tip_window:
            return  # Do not create a new tooltip if one already exists
        self.show_tip(event.x_root, event.y_root)

    def leave(self, event):
        self.hide_tip()
        
    def show_tip(self, x, y):
        "Display text in a tooltip window"
        if self.tip_window or not self.tooltip_text:
            return
        x -= self.widget.winfo_width() // 2
        self.tip_window = tw = tk.Toplevel(self.widget)
        tw.wm_overrideredirect(True)
        tw.wm_geometry(f"+{x}+{y}")
        main_font = font.Font(family='Segoe UI', size=int(12)

        label = tk.Label(tw, text=self.tooltip_text, justify=tk.CENTER,
                    background="#ffffe0", relief=tk.SOLID, borderwidth=1,
                    font=main_font)
        label.pack(ipadx=1)

    def hide_tip(self):
        if self.tip_window:
            self.tip_window.destroy()
            self.tip_window = None

also the tooltip disappears when you hover over it as i imagine it's blocking the original widget then. like if i remove the x -= self... line, then the tooltip now reliably displays when moving ur mouse from below up, or from the right left

[frozen brook]

Scroll Thumb does not move the scrollable frame

    #Scroll Frame

[lucid python]

quick update on this, still haven't gotten it to stop bugging out and was wondering if anyone else has come across this tooltips problem with tkinter before?

[sudden elk]

someone here knows how to use qt? like idk how to start coding things AFTER i made ui in designer app…

[sudden elk]

nvm. found it :D

[royal gull]

If you want to use the UI, Designer should allow you to export the .ui file and import it with Qt (and there's also pyuic for converting it to Python)

[royal gull]

I strongly encourage however that you do not use Designer and instead write the components yourself. It allows for more flexibility.

[sudden elk]

no, ui will be big

(as you even see above)

wanted to just hijack some buttons and content and only automate that

like i made whole app in designer and now only scripts so if you type x somewhere it gets saved or toggles to toggle…

see yourself: https://drive.proton.me/urls/MQ511ESF4C#OCt9HKQlur0i

(used cloud as can't file here)

[royal gull]

It's mainly a preference thing. Never really had a need for Designer in the time I've worked with Qt. Maybe it's worth it for the big UIs, but at that point, you might very well just start looking into QML.

[mighty frigate]

fun fact: Qt devs actually actively wants their users to use their Designer and refers to people that don't as "idiots"

[mighty frigate]

please note: QtWidgets is slowly going to the deprecated realm. Recent projects nowadays use QtQuick.

[sudden elk]

another question. someone knows if it's ever possible to add a button to tab bar in qt designer? but like without code…

like this i mean: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtabwidget.html#setCornerWidget

[royal gull]

I thought they'd want you to use QML...

[royal gull]

Not too sure if this is possible in Designer sadly

Hi everyone 👋
I like to create apps with a GUI interface anyone could you telle where to start?

Thanks 🙏 a million

Umm any good video tutorial?

[sudden elk]

i don't watch video, so i don't know…

[digital rose]

Is it possible to learn just from documentation?

[sudden elk]

for very beginning i don't recommend but theoretically it can be possible…

(if someone understand docs ofc)

[digital rose]

I don't know much cause i am new in programming I hope i could handle this kind of stuffs.

[sudden elk]

learn python first

or javascript cause webpages are gui too

[digital rose]

I know the basics of python

[cosmic dove]

May I ask a question?

[sudden elk]

don't ask to ask

just ask

[cosmic dove]

Is it possible to make a changing label like a countdown timer?

[sudden elk]

which library?

[cosmic dove]

Tkinter

[sudden elk]

yes, just change text of that label in interval…

[sleek hollow]

you can use the after method to trigger a function call on a delay

[cosmic dove]

The way that I have it is it's in a definition which I don't know if it complicates anything

[sudden elk]

moment. gonna make a sample app

[cosmic dove]

To explain my apologies

[cosmic dove]

What do I need to change it by an interval

[sudden elk]

here we go with existing: https://code.whatever.social/questions/18047636/python-is-it-possible-to-create-an-tkinter-label-which-has-a-dynamic-string-whe#18048776

[cosmic dove]

So but what if it's in a definition and I call it out to be printed on label?

[sudden elk]

simplest code i could achieve:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Countdown")
root.geometry("50x25")
text_var = 0
label = tk.Label(root, text=text_var)

def update_status():
    global text_var
    text_var += 1
    label["text"] = text_var
    root.after(1000, update_status)

label.pack(pady=20)
root.after(1, update_status)
root.mainloop()

*warning cause window may open very small and hard to close due to code simplicity

edit: fixed :)

[cosmic dove]

def D_timer(seconds):
         while seconds > 0:
              
              sleep(1)

              print(seconds)

              seconds -= 1

              print('exicuting program')

count_down = D_timer(seconds)

print(count_down)


print('exicuting program')

count_down = D_timer(seconds)

print(count_down)

I want to do to pack onto a label

[sudden elk]

i have that:

import tkinter as tk
from time import sleep

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Countdown")
root.geometry("50x25")
text_var = 25 # example number
label = tk.Label(root, text=text_var)

def update_status():
    while text_var > 0:
        global text_var
        text_var += 1
        label["text"] = text_var
        sleep(1)
        update_status()

label.pack(pady=20)
root.after(1, update_status)
root.mainloop()

but gimme moment. got bugs

Never use a while loop in gui

Use after for delayed actions

[sudden elk]

just tried to port his code. buggy anyway

[sudden elk]

fixed code:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Countdown")
root.geometry("50x50")
text_var = 25 #example number
label = tk.Label(root, text=text_var)

def update_status():
    global text_var
    if text_var > 0:
        text_var -= 1 #decrementing to zero
    label["text"] = text_var
    root.after(1000,update_status) #restart

label.pack()
root.after(1, update_status)
root.mainloop()

(also - 2 lines less than buggy code)

[drowsy glen]

use custom tkinter

bruh

its easier

more beautiful

[sudden elk]

what for? existing can

he is new

[drowsy glen]

much easier to deliver more modern look

try

[sudden elk]

he is too new for experiments

[drowsy glen]

what experiments ?

[sudden elk]

custom modules out of existing known ones…

[drowsy glen]

hmmmm, wanna create normal ui for your app or want to create new one?

i mean new library

[sudden elk]

what for? this guy learns basic tkinter. won't understand forks…

firstly basics, then forks/alternatives

[drowsy glen]

oh

i got you

[sudden elk]

and changing label content in tk is quite simple

[drowsy glen]

👍🏻

good thing to start with

[sudden elk]

yep. that was the code i sent him in simplest way possible

so he can learn and build on it

[drowsy glen]

nice

[sudden elk]

yep

[drowsy glen]

so you know a lot about python yourself , true?

[sudden elk]

tkinter i used but it isn't possible to know every single library inside out…

so like something i know…

but i'm not God

[drowsy glen]

i know

PyQt5 is such an odd framework and very complex.

I am getting QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.
But idk which one this message is coming from?
The even odd part is everything seems to be working fine?

[sleek hollow]

What are you threading?

I wouldn't thread anything gui related, that should all exist in the main thread

[strong owl]

I am running with QThreadPool

[sleek hollow]

only thread non-gui actions

yes but are you threading anything related to the actual gui?

[strong owl]

Yeah. I am running a socket based messenger UI, and I am running a threaded event-loop that captures messages

[sleek hollow]

yes but are any GUI tasks outside of the main thread?

[strong owl]

Yes

[sleek hollow]

you can't have that

only use thread signals to interact with the gui

the thread can emit a signal when started and when finished

and you can use those signals to update the gui

don't update the gui from a threaded action

[strong owl]

ahh that's true. There are many ways to do threading with PyQt5

There's one with QObjects and QThreads (I tried it there are no outputs could be error on my part) and the one I am using with QThreadPool rn.

I am still confused with QThreads tbh

[sleek hollow]

what I said holds true no matter the threading implementation

only modify the gui on the main thread

yes, you can use qpalette and set a textured brush

is it possible just to import an image and then use it as the background?

yes, with the steps I just mentioned

that's how pyqt allows the image to be used as a background image

I need an idea about PySide/Qt

about how to do something

say I have a list of entries I wanna display in rows. each of these entries have different characteristics that I wanna display in columns

I want those columns to be able to be resized

I want the display area to be able to be scrolled if the window is not wide or tall enough to display everything

and the are is only part of the layout

not the whole

it would be currently white area in the screenshot

anyone got any suggestions?

Hi!

Can sombody help me with a problem at costumetkinter?

[pseudo sparrow]

Anyone have any recommendations for me: I'm building my first python app and already did the moderngl work to draw the spectrums I want that react in real time. Following a tutorial of course. So it's done with pyQT and moderngl. I decided to remove the titlebar and add a exit button which was simple enough because it overlays over the drawn spectrums. But then I decided to make rounded edges so I made the entire window transparent and then using QTwidget drew a rounded corner rectangle. But it overlays onto of the moderngl drawn spectrum. No matter where I place it. It's onto of it. I can't get it behind it. Anyone know of a simple way to force it behind?

The app should show you the album and create a form with all the songs in an album, each followed by a slider with which you can set a rating. When you click submit, you should get two lists printed to the temrinal: 'ids' for each song identifier and 'ratings' with the floats for the rating value.

never heard of tinker, is it sort of like PyQt5?

PyQt5 lets you do Qt stuff in Python, tkinter lets you do Tk stuff in Python. I'd say PyQt5 is more fleshed out for Qt than tkinter is for Tk

[solid wedge]

I just spent months working on a project, learned some PyQt6 after PySimpleGUI went pay to play and just now realized that PyQt6 only supports up to Python 3.9. Is this a problem? Should I quit now and work on learning a GUI with more longevity? I’m concerned that since we are on python 3.13 now, I’m backing a dying platform.

I don’t make a lot of projects, but if I’m going to spend my time learning something, I want it to be around for a little bit.

[sleek hollow]

use PySide6 instead of PyQt6

yo i have a PyQt5 gui that plays songs, i was wondering if it is possible to change this icon that displays in taskbar

[worthy fox]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14900510/changing-the-application-and-taskbar-icon-python-tkinter

[royal gull]

If you mean the icon itself, then you'll have to do setWindowIcon on the window and give it a QIcon. If that doesn't show up, you'll have to pair it with a ctypes hack:

import ctypes
ctypes.windll.shell32.SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID("[CompanyName].[ProductName].[SubProduct]?.[VersionInformation]?")

Technical reason why this is needed can be found here.
-# Note: for the string given for app user model id, [field] is something you have to replace. The ? after the brackets after means the field is optional.

I didn't know what channel use for my question but I have problem with bettercam library, I want to get only one app screen like discord screen sharing or obs

[lost valley]

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def colored_text(format_string, x, y, fig, **kwargs):
    import re
    pattern = r"(\w+)\('([^']*)'\)"
    matches = re.findall(pattern, format_string)
    print(matches)
    current_x = x
    for color, text in matches:

        fig.text(current_x, y, text, color=color, **kwargs)
        current_x += None #idk what could be good here

Now in matplotlib you can not make multiple colors in one text except if you write fig.text over and over with the same y but change the x and it's very annoying hence why Im trying to make this, however I'm not able to find an algorithm that helps me add a right X value to make sure the spacing is fine.

[misty canopy]

Hmm, my approach would be to use the latex support for colors, rather than specifying it for the entire line. E.g. like in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9185143

[mighty frigate]

Ok I need some philosophical advice here
from my experience there's 2 ways to make a QML application:

from bottom-to-top: the C++ has everything, and orchestrate everything, and QML is merely a view
from top-to-bottom: the logic is still in C++ but it's QML that orchestrate everything

I can't figure out what is the best way to make a QML app, and what's the pros and cons of both ways

[pearl trench]

not tkinter but i found PyQt6 and read through multi books on it then started my own from there

recently I had just redid a old project of mine, a BTC Wallet Generator, using PyQt6!

[worthy fox]

yor app looks like mine alot 😄

the colors heh

i thinkn im gonna swap from qt6 from qt5

[pearl trench]

No way; got a image? whats the reason for your swap @worthy fox

[worthy fox]

it has some nice features that the qt5 does not have

well does not look that but similar, but i love your outlooks and im gonna make mine look more like yours heh

[pearl trench]

its uploaded to github if you want to take a look at the stylesheet used; that required alot digging around and downloading a few books to for css properties

currently working on a password manager

[mighty frigate]

Congratz !

consider using PySide6 🙂

[mighty frigate]

Qt5 has already reached its end of life. Please do not use it.

[proper rune]

is qt or tkinter better for guis

[shell crystal]

Tkinter is good for very small projects as it's very simple and easy to get running. But QT is better for bigger projects as it usually gets more performance, and works better for cross-platform projects.

[proper rune]

oh ty but what better for a gui like a appstore whit link buttons whit a modern desing

[shell crystal]

Tkinter is hard to theme in my opinion, QT can use custom widget styles and color schemes.

[proper rune]

ok then i try qt

[shell crystal]

By default QT will use a theme that looks like this on Windows

[worthy fox]

use QT, much better than tinker

im just reading the qt6 tutorials, not that much changes tbh but very nice 1's, ill start converting to 6 tomorrow

[pale sun]

i used qt for a music player i made and followed a tutorial for a snake game which used tk

[pearl trench]

Why PySide6 over PyQt6?

[royal gull]

They're functionally similar but the main reason you'd want one over the other is the license as PySide6 uses the LGPLv3 rather than the GPL which, afaik, basically allows you to use PySide6 as long as you share whatever modifications you make to PySide (which you'll probably not do). The GPL is a bit more strict (both are available under commercial licenses though if you want).

PySide also comes from the Qt Company whereas PyQt comes from a third-party (Riverbank). Apart from like very subtle differences in how they're built and how some things are named, that's pretty much it.

[pearl trench]

I found pyside docs better though im not 100% on what the whole licensing thing means exactly

[sleek hollow]

I would actually recommend the c++ docs. It's way better organized and all the class/method/signal names are the same anyways. I don't know any c++ and can read the docs

[pearl trench]

@sleek hollow I aspire to know, c++...

[devout kettle]

Hi how can i create tkinter buttons based on user inputs so user creates a set and it creates a button with that set name? Any vidoes i can learn for it

[sleek hollow]

You can add buttons to the UI at runtime from a function. It's not really much different

[hoary canopy]

Should i be inherting tkitner into my app class? does it make that much of a difference over creating a root object in the class

[sleek hollow]

It depends really. If the UI you're making will always be the top most window, then you can just directly inherit Tk

if you think your UI might at some point be embedded into another program, you could inherit Frame instead

[hoary canopy]

Alright, thanks. I think thats the next thing im going to try. been working with notebooks to prevent the need of constantly swapping screens/frames, used a top level for a login window and loading screen. I think my next project will use inheriant and I will switch to either rel place or grid for dynamic layouts.

[sleek hollow]

I'd really avoid place if possible

also if you're looking to build more robust UI, consider switching to pyside

[hoary canopy]

I want to eventually switch to PyQT6 or Kivy, but really need to get some projects off the ground so tkinter if functional. Also, so many people hate place but its been so easy and useful lol. I come from a visual script game dev software so its what im use to as well.

[hoary canopy]

!paste

@sleek hollow Heres an example of how i plan on using place moving foward. I still have to add an event function to adjust the fonts but it is functional as well as dynamic. https://paste.pythondiscord.com/6PLA

I also need to update some things so they arent hard coded e.g the rel calculations (need to pass the width and height variables from the App class to the dashboard class so they are updated in case I need to update the base window default size)

Well moving forward until I switch to something that’s cross platform.

i am trying to add a matplot graph to my grid system. so far no luck. i tried this here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59550783/embedding-a-matplotlib-graph-in-tkinter-grid-method-and-customizing-matplotl
but i get the error 'AttributeError: 'ThemedTKinterFrame' object has no attribute 'tk''
and now i am clueless.
the stackoverflow post is also almost 5years old, maybe it is different now?

the idea is that when i click a button that there is a sqlite3 query which feels the x and y with data and should show in the same video, no pop ups

[shell oasis]

i think the problem is my window is TKinterModernThemes.ThemedTKinterFrame and not tkinter.TK. but changing it causes other issues

[hoary canopy]

I’m only using tk and ttk but I think I managed to put a png from mat plot in a label using grid. The thing I’m iffy on is if I used the grid method.

[shell oasis]

hm alright, i guess i have to rewrite the whole thing to fit all of it in one

[shell oasis]

lol, i got it now with no chances^^

my gui for 1 nice app 🙂

[cosmic dove]

I have a question on labels how can I make it pack a new one underneath the previous one

I had an image but discord won't let me send it sorry

[mighty rock]

That should be the default packing behavior unless you specified an argument for the side parameter

[cosmic dove]

I did use a side parimeter and it keeps on making up so that generates to the right side I wanted to generate underneath the previous label

[shell oasis]

here is what you need probably @cosmic dove
https://coderslegacy.com/python/tkinter-pack-two-frames-side-by-side/

it is frames, but with labels it should work too

i have a question too. i have some prints in my main()
and i want the insides of those print messages in a textbox in my gui. i searched for displaying the terminal in a box, but i think that is too much. it sounds simple but i cant figure it out how to get the strings into my gui object

[sleek hollow]

you can create your own class and as long as it has a write method, it can be used in place of print

[shell oasis]

yeah i have found those examples too but i dont get it how i can build that in

i will try smth out. thanks

[cosmic dove]

Here's what I was able to make but I don't know how to place it under the previous label and there supposed to be a box on the left for a neral network be

[cosmic dove]

It has something similar to what I need

And thank you

[shell oasis]

do you use grid system or pack?

Pack sorry just wanted to

yeah i dont get pack(). i usally use the grid system with the rows and columns

you could try to replace every pack with grid()

those 3 buttons look like this:

print_box = tk.Text()
print_box.pack()

tk.Button(text='Print', command=on_print_clicked).pack()

sys.stdout = GUIPrinter(print_box)
root.mainloop()

here's an example of it in action

you MUST redirect sys.stdout to your new class instance

[shell oasis]

i did that

def redirect_sysstd(self):
# We specify that sys.stdout point to TextRedirector
sys.stdout = TextRedirector(self.console_text, "stdout")

you don't need to manually call write

the print handles that for you if you redirect sys.stdout

run my example and look at the code

i am so dumb

but doesnt work..

i still see it only in the terminal

[sleek hollow]

the simplest way is to probably create your own logging function instead of using print

and then just have it print to terminal and to the text box in the gui

[shell oasis]

alright, i will figure it out. thanks for your example. will help when i sleep over it^^ thanks a lot

how to add glow effect on button in customtkinter?

[cosmic dove]

How can I make things touch the bottom of the window using the grid system sorry

[shell oasis]

you do that by adjusting the size of the window. geometry(400x400)
at least thats how i do it, when they buttons and fields are frames are in that order i wanted i change the resolution of the window there

https://www.pythontutorial.net/tkinter/tkinter-grid/

but maybe you find there a solution that lets you stick them to the bottom

[cosmic dove]

I managed to get them to pack on to or go on to a grid but it's very lackluster per se it's directly in the center which is good for the entry bar but the cement button isn't doing too well

[shell oasis]

i am not able to help you an further, thats all i know. sorry

i am a python noob

[fallow wren]

I mean neon around button🙏

[shell oasis]

you could do place it in a frame and change the background

Draw what you wanted and I'll be able to help. There's no need to stray away from packing as long as you use frames correctly

[fallow wren]

this is frame with button

planning to divide the downloadbutton area to 4 different download types, download, downloadplaylist, donwload the selected files from playlist, custom

[cosmic dove]

How I get it to pack underneath the previous message instead of packing it onto the side of the previous message

i don't no how to pack the new label under the previous

[mighty rock]

If both are packed with side="top", which is the default, then simply make sure to pack the entry first before packing the button second. If both are packed with "side=bottom", make sure to pack the entry second after packing the button first

[cosmic dove]

I put it in the same frame in the entry button comes first and then it packs them submit button second

[mighty rock]

You need a frame to separate the labels and the entry & button

[cosmic dove]

Do I have to make a new frame for each label itself ?

[mighty rock]

I don't really know how you want the widgets to be laid out so either a frame for the labels or a frame for the entry & button

[cosmic dove]

Would you like to see a screenshot of what I really want to try and get this to look like sorry

[mighty rock]

Using pack() is a game of managing frames and pack()'s parameters

There's more to it than what a screenshot can convey

Like resizing/repositioning

And distances

[cosmic dove]

I know I can resize the window it's just trying to use minimal space because if you work with space then you have you learn to become more efficient at packing things very nice and tidy Plus it's going to be attached to a network I'm just working on the interface so I know where everything's supposed to go sorry

[cosmic dove]

I was going to make it so that the size is locked which I need to figure out how to make it so that's big enough to fit any amount of text to be converted for input

[mighty rock]

Just use a frame. You'll figure this out by tinkering

[wide inlet]

These kinds of widgets are from Blender. They are used to create shaders. I would like to have similar widgets in my application for a different purpose. (They are also in Unreal Engine for scripting behavior etc.)
How would you approach creating something like this? Is there a package that does it already? Or does it make sense to create an OpenGL context and make the widgets from scratch?

I want an interactive canvas where I can add and remove the cards and connect them

[sleek hollow]

you could do it with pyside and qgraphics but it gets quite complex

hello, i have to make a project for school and i am using tkinter for it. Now my problem is that i want to know the value that is there in a combobox (ttk) the second the user makes his choice because there is another combobox and the options of that box depends on the choice from the first one.

now i cant manage to do this
i tried using delays and checking it evry 1 second but that messes with the mainloop i guess

def trainbookinglobby_function():

def Book_Tickets():

    def button_function():
        book_tickets.destroy()
        print(origin_option_value.get())

    trainbooking.destroy()

    book_tickets = t.Tk()
    book_tickets.geometry('400x400')

    f = open('C:\\Users\\Arun\\Desktop\\CompProject\\trains.csv')

    r = csv.reader(f)

    l= []

    for i in list(r):
        if i[0] not in l:
            l.append(i[0])

    origin_option_value = t.StringVar()                

    origin_option = ttk.Combobox(book_tickets,values = l,textvariable = origin_option_value)
    origin_option.place(relx = 0.2, rely = 0.2, anchor = 'c')
    submit_button = t.Button(text='submit',command = button_function)
    submit_button.place(relx = 1-100/400,rely = 1-100/400, anchor='c')

    print(origin_option_value.get())


    book_tickets.mainloop()

[royal cape]

Generally the idea of reacting to some action is known as event handling, and tkinter offers a lot of mechanisms for this, for example, given two combo boxes where the first one contains a numeric multiplier and the second box needs to show a list of numbers multiplied by the previous combo box: ```py
app = Tk()

var = IntVar(app, value=1)
combo_multiplier = Combobox(app, values=["1", "2", "3"], textvariable=var)
combo_multiplier.pack()

combo_numbers = Combobox(app)
combo_numbers.pack()

def update_numbers():
multiplier = var.get()
options = [str(i * multiplier) for i in range(10)]
combo_numbers.set(multiplier)
combo_numbers.configure(values=options)

update_numbers()
app.mainloop()One solution is to bind to the combo box's special `<<ComboboxSelected>>` event emitted whenever the user changes their selection:py
combo_multiplier.bind("<<ComboboxSelected>>", lambda event: update_numbers())
And another solution that works with all tkinter variables is to use the `var.trace_add()` method:py
var.trace_add("write", lambda name1, name2, op: update_numbers())```
Both will make the combobox update in real time:

See also these two pages in TkDocs:
https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/concepts.html#events

As with most user interface toolkits, Tk runs an event loop that receives events from the operating system. These are things like button presses, keystrokes, mouse movement, window resizing, and so on.
https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/widgets.html#combobox
A combobox will generate a <<ComboboxSelected>> virtual event that you can bind to whenever its value changes. (You could also trace changes on the textvariable, as we've seen in the previous few widgets we covered. Binding to the event is more straightforward, and so tends to be our preferred choice.)

anyone aware of a way of doing flexbox like layouts in python?

[reef oxide]

should it not work the same?
make a container frame, configure the grid for what you want, create the boxes

        container = ttk.Frame(self.root, padding=20)
        container.pack(expand=True, fill='both')

        # Configure the grid for flexible layout
        self.configure_grid(container, columns=3, rows=1)

        # Create the boxes
        self.create_boxes(container, ["Box 1", "Box 2", "Box 3"])

    def configure_grid(self, container, columns, rows):
        for i in range(columns):
            container.columnconfigure(i, weight=1)
        for i in range(rows):
            container.rowconfigure(i, weight=1)

    def create_boxes(self, parent, texts):
        for idx, text in enumerate(texts):
            frame = ttk.Frame(parent, width=100, height=100, relief="raised", borderwidth=2)
            frame.grid(row=0, column=idx, padx=10, pady=10, sticky="nsew")
            label = ttk.Label(frame, text=text, anchor="center")
            label.pack(expand=True, fill='both')```

if you don't want it all clumped together you'll have to label the seperately grouped boxes
```        box1 = self.create_box(container, "Box 1")
        box1.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=10, pady=10, sticky="nsew")

        box2 = self.create_box(container, "Box 2")
        box2.grid(row=0, column=1, padx=10, pady=10, sticky="nsew")```

Does anyone know how is called the interface library that is often used in AI tools like stable diffusion1111 or sum ?

[lofty pond]

OpenCV?

[summer thunder]

Could someone help me with a question? I wanted to create 2 frames: 1 - Frame_bg that would occupy the entire window, and 2 - frame_login, which would have a fixed size and be centered in the window (overlapping Frame_bg). I tried to do it, but I’m really struggling... can someone shed some light?

this is mine

I wanted to do it like this.

[mighty rock]

Is something not the right size or what?

I suppose the Senac image needs to take the size of the entire window area, in which case how are you displaying it on the window?

[summer thunder]

I had pasted it in a frame and that frame was in the window

Then I put a label in the jframe and then created the login frame so the image was in the login frame and the frame where the image was supposed to be turned green

[normal island]

No ?

[normal island]

its not openCV

they use like interface that looks nice and i used pretty much in a lot of AI projects yk

[lofty pond]

Stable diffusion uses Gradio (https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio) it is as you said, meant for ai apps

[normal island]

yes thats it thanks

[normal island]

[mossy forge]

Not sure if this is the correct channel but I want to create a program that would be sort of an overlay using Tkinter and I was wondering if there is a way to take a screenshot of whatever is underneath the window

[sleek hollow]

I'm not sure if you can do this without hiding the window. I'm also not sure if tkinter has a built-in way to screenshot. PIL can do it with ImageGrab

[mossy forge]

I don't mean that I need to use only tkinter and I know that I can use PIL for screenshots, I just am wondering if there is a way of capturing what's behind a window without moving or hiding it

[sleek hollow]

Not that I'm aware of. You would have to hide the window just for a split second before taking the screenshot

[mossy forge]

Not really an ideal solution because I would like to constantly refresh the content of the window, which would probably be annoying to look at if it would constantly flicker

[fervent shuttle]

Has anyone worked with Qt in Python? Using PySide2?

[sleek hollow]

It's quite popular. Did you have a specific question?

[austere sparrow]

Does anyone have some recommendation's for graphs in tkinter. I know matplotlib is an option but I was curious if anyone knows anything with better visuals out there I could try to use.

[lofty pond]

Well, a canvas widget in tkinter can work with some finagling. Requires more initial work but it would be more flexible.

[fervent shuttle]

I am trying to run a GitHub repo that uses PySide2 but apparently it is missing requirements.txt and so i cannot install all the libraries

[frozen zealot]

created this, any tips on how to make it more user friendly?

[unborn basalt]

what are some alternatives to matplotlib? (line graphs specifically)

[bleak gazelle]

Bigger text

[frozen zealot]

You know the code for that?

[mighty frigate]

best advice I can give you is open the calc on your system and look at how they did it

on the top of my head:

• a border for the input field
• rounded corner for the input field
• bigger font for the buttons
• rounded buttons
• spaces between buttons
• rework the layout so the clear button isn't some huge things at the bottom

[somber stirrup]

guys does anyone know a good GUI building library which is easy except pysimplegui

[frozen zealot]

thank you!!

Today, I've decided to take a look into using QT for my script but I'm having an annoying issue

I've tried to create a class that inherits from QWidget but for some reason when I try to use it it doesn't show up (even though when I use QWidget directly there is no problem)

here's code for that class and the class in which I'm trying to use it

class Resize(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Resize, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.setStyleSheet('background-color: rgb(0, 0, 150)')


    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton:
            print(event.globalPos())


class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.resize(804, 604)
        self.setStyleSheet("QFrame { border: 2px solid rgb(0, 150, 0); border-radius: 4px}")
        self.setAttribute(Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground, True)
        self.setWindowFlags(Qt.Window | Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint | Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
        self.frame = QFrame(self)
        self.frame.setGeometry(0, 0, 804, 604)
        self.move_widget = QWidget(parent=self) # this one shows up
        self.move_widget.setGeometry(2, 2, 20, 20)
        self.move_widget.setStyleSheet('background-color: rgb(150, 0, 0)')
        self.resize_widget = Resize(parent=self) # this one does not show up
        self.resize_widget.setGeometry(self.size().width() - 2 - 20, self.size().height() - 2 - 20, 20, 20)

[sleek hollow]

QWidget will draw when it is the window. Any background styling doesn't show up by default though when it's contained in another window. You can fix it by using self.setAutoFillBackground(True) in your QWidget class

[worthy fox]

my app allows u to stream movies and tv

started working on that yesterdya

[mossy forge]

I already managed to bypass the issue by using QFrame instead of QWidget but I did just checked your suggestion and it still didn't show up properly

BTW, while I'm already here, is there anything specific I should do in PyCharm to use PySide6 efficiently? Asking because for some reason it shows unresolved attribute references (which does annoy me a little).

[vestal frigate]

I made a discord bot for a server I moderate and I want to make a easy to use panel UI that I can distribute among the other mods to control the bot have yall got any tips or any designs that I can use for inspo

The mockup i made on mobile

Also should I use ctk or pyqt6

[worthy fox]

pyqt6

[sleek hollow]

Ahh that's because of the size policy. QFrame auto expands to fill space but qwidget will only expand with its contents

You can use QSizePolicy.MinimumExpanding

[modest dove]

Is there any extension/site/software to visually see your tkinter project change in realtime as your coding?

[mighty frigate]

stylsheets in custom widgets don't always work out, you can define the paintEvent explicitly to account for this

fyi I just tested in PySide6 and it does show up

[mossy forge]

The one that is a custom widget was supposed to be a blue square in bottom right and it doesn't show up there

[mighty frigate]

which one ?

ah

[mossy forge]

That's how I wanted it to look like (and like I said I already bypassed it by inheriting QFrame instead of QWidget)

[mighty frigate]

from PySide6.QtCore import *
from PySide6.QtGui import *
from PySide6.QtWidgets import *
import sys

class Resize(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Resize, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.setStyleSheet('background-color: rgb(0, 0, 150)')


    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton:
            print(event.globalPos())

    def paintEvent(self, paint_event):
        opt = QStyleOption()
        opt.initFrom(self);     
        p = QPainter(self); 
        self.style().drawPrimitive(QStyle.PE_Widget, opt, p, self);


class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.resize(804, 604)
        self.setStyleSheet("QFrame { border: 2px solid rgb(0, 150, 0); border-radius: 4px}")
        self.setAttribute(Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground, True)
        self.setWindowFlags(Qt.Window | Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint | Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
        self.frame = QFrame(self)
        self.frame.setGeometry(0, 0, 804, 604)
        self.move_widget = QWidget(parent=self) # this one shows up
        self.move_widget.setGeometry(2, 2, 20, 20)
        self.move_widget.setStyleSheet('background-color: rgb(150, 0, 0)')
        self.resize_widget = Resize(parent=self) # this one does not show up
        self.resize_widget.setGeometry(self.size().width() - 2 - 20, self.size().height() - 2 - 20, 20, 20)


app = QApplication(sys.argv)

window = Window()
window.show()

app.exec()

with the custom paintEvent to explicitly account for the stylesheet

this is a well known side effect when using stylesheets in a custom QWidget

[mossy forge]

Well, that's good to know though

[mighty frigate]

I don't use PyCharm but I can take a look when I have a bit of time if you'd like. Can you show me the kind of problem you have so I can reproduce it ?

[mossy forge]

Attributes like these are highlighted and don't show up in code completion

[mighty frigate]

I hope you're not having too much of a bad time 🙂 You can ping me if you have other Qt questions.

yeah, they didn't show either in vscode. I'll take a look later

[mossy forge]

Well, I don't plan on doing anything too complicated but I still do have few things to figure out for my app

For example, is there a way to create an opaque element that you can click through (so it clicks on whatever is behind the window instead)?

[mighty frigate]

It depends. A widget that refuses event, I'm sur you can. An event not captured by the app, I'm 'ot certain but I think you can' t. It has to do with how OS proccesses mousse events. If it's really how I think it is it's workable but you need to capture those events and resend them to the process underneath using another lib, like win32 if you're on Windows. That's not trivial.

[mossy forge]

Well, the thing is I want to create something that would be an overlay of sorts and I don't want it to prevent you from using whatever is underneath it

not enough context

before even starting, making a browser is a bad idea

on the top of my head, I'd say those calculus are wrong

[acoustic wave]

[acoustic wave]

thank god

[mighty frigate]

out of curiosity

why not QtQuick instead of QtWidgets ?

[acoustic wave]

idk

I couldn't find a difference

[mighty frigate]

@acoustic wave ok so

you're basing your movement on the delta between now and the last move

the problem is: that value is too small and therefore not reliable, that's why your window is jumping around

the better way would be to memorize the position of the window at the start of the movement, and always move from that

in custom_titlebar.py:

def mousePressEvent(self, event):
    self.windowPos = self.parent.frameGeometry().topLeft()
    self.start = event.globalPos()
    self.pressing = True

def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):
    if self.pressing:
        if self.parent.isMaximized():
            self.parent.showNormal()
        delta = event.globalPos() - self.start
        self.parent.move(self.windowPos + delta)

nice work on the rest of the code, it looks legit

just a little something: please comment in english

Hey, I have another question. If I have a function that takes noticeable amount of time to execute and I don't want it to freeze my window is multithreading my only option or is there something simpler I could use?

[mighty frigate]

yes, but there's multiple form of multithreading

I'm not familiar with QtConcurrent (even tho it looks fun)

I can show you the basics of QThread tho

[mighty frigate]

from PySide6.QtCore import *
from PySide6.QtGui import *
from PySide6.QtWidgets import *
import sys

class Worker(QObject):
    finished = Signal(str)
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def exec(self):
        QThread.sleep(2)
        self.finished.emit("Hello, World!")

class Ctrl(QObject):
    work_finished = Signal(str)
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.in_progress = False

    def start(self):
        self.in_progress = True
        self.thread = QThread()
        self.worker = Worker()
        self.worker.moveToThread(self.thread)

        self.thread.started.connect(self.worker.exec)
        self.worker.finished.connect(self.on_finished)
        self.worker.finished.connect(self.thread.quit)
        self.thread.finished.connect(self.worker.deleteLater)
        self.thread.finished.connect(self.thread.deleteLater)
        self.thread.start()

    def on_finished(self, result):
        self.work_finished.emit(result)
        self.in_progress = False


def button_clicked(ctrl, btn, label):
    if ctrl.in_progress:
        return
    btn.setText("Loading...")
    label.setText("")
    ctrl.start()

[atomic panther]

whats the best GUI library

[mossy forge]

Doesn't look too complicated but I do have one question. Is it possible to pass a more complex data structure with a signal (for example a numpy array)?

[elder acorn]

Tkinter maybe

[mighty frigate]

signal/slots arguments in Qt relies on QVariant

whatever type you're prodiving must be convertible to and from QVariant

in C++ you go that by using the macro Q_DECLARE_METATYPE, I'm not sure how it's done in python

if you're lucky it will "just work"

[mighty frigate]

the best idk but the most complete is Qt, by far

[worthy fox]

i would go for Qt instead Tinker

[mossy forge]

I was lucky and ndarray appears to just work out of the box, so that was a nice surprise

As for multithreading itself I did it slightly different to your solution (instead of creating a new thread every time there is a task I just keep one thread always ready to be used) but it appears to be working fine for me

[serene kiln]

can someone who knows a good amount of tkinter and matplotlib help me with something (preferably in dms)

[mossy forge]

Also, I've managed to find a flag that seems to be doing exactly what I needed here

[stoic plume]

I'm using PySide6 and I'm creating a bunch of Widgets dynamically, but what I want seems simple yet I can't find the answer for it.

I've got QLineEdits and QLabels that are added in rows. I want some way that I can connect these so that when the user edits the QLineEdit value the QLabel is also changed.

I have this working in a static environment, but when I add the Widgets dynamically I need a way to track which ones are meant to be linked up. Is it possible to get the QLineEdit object that triggers the signal, or some easier way to make the connection?

[stoic plume]

I figured this out. Somehow it never came up that I could get it using self.sender()

[pearl slate]

Anyone here use kivy? What do you think of it

[ruby crystal]

Hi
any GUI tool that would allow me to call async code?
i have some i/o done with httpx with trio and want to make a ui for it

[modern harness]

so i was working with a library in python and it had settings?

is this a normal thing? + The app let you instal libraries from it and it makes programming simple and accessible for anyone

sorry if I'm in the wrong place bc it's an UI question after all

[royal cape]

GUIs usually have their own event loops so you'll have to make your trio event loop cooperate with their event loop - in the case of Trio, you might be interested in their "Guest mode" feature to allow another event loop to power the Trio event loop:
https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference-lowlevel.html#using-guest-mode-to-run-trio-on-top-of-other-event-loops

Alternatively if you want to go a harder route, you can run trio in a separate thread and use threadsafe methods like trio.from_thread.run() to talk between your GUI thread and trio thread

[mighty frigate]

Qt has QThread and QtConcurrent.

[spiral apex]

qtrio?

https://qtrio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

It's a wrapper around trio guest mode

[ruby crystal]

thanks 🙌
I'll look around

[stoic bough]

alright guys. I am making a UI in python but it's going to be very simple. The biggest concern to me is speed. What UI framework should I use that would be very fast with low overhead?

please @ me if you have a suggestion

[sleek hollow]

speed of what? Most UI is only limited by the underlying code it has to process. The UI itself shouldn't be standing in your way

[west portal]

is anyone online

here

?

[sleek hollow]

If you have a question, simply ask it.

[hot sandal]

That was their question and you did not answer

[cosmic dove]

May I ask a question?

[stoic bough]

I'm making a remote desktop client for when im in school and it would have to be able to update images very fast

idrk too much about ui's and if that would ever be a speed issue

[sleek hollow]

How fast? How many images? What size?

[stoic bough]

fast enough to be atleast 60 fps. 2560x1440

I wanted to use powershell as the thing that would run on my computer at home but I'm not sure it will be fast enough to do that with the screen capture

[shadow dragon]

Hey I have a question Is it possible to change the icon app taskbar in Window on an app in Pyhon tkinter?

[rare sundial]

Yes, According to my notes: under windows you want something like toplevel.wm_iconbitmap(bitmap=file) and under poxix you want

toplevel.wm_iconphoto(True, img)```

I haven't tested the windows code but that's what I copied down when I saw it used.

On the other hand, knowing as much more about tcl image internals now than I did then, it seems like the wm_iconphoto should work on both and a call to wm_iconbitmap() first should only be necessary when the transparency isn't working correctly.

[misty canopy]

that'd be pretty hard indeed. i've seen frameworks that can render a video at such performance, though - take a look at #media-processing, I think I saw showcases of pyqtgraph doing that there.

(but also... consider, do you really need your own custom solution for that, instead of an existing client?)

[stoic bough]

I think I might try making it in c#

and use winforms

for the performance

[stoic bough]

oh I'm just doing the project for fun

I could easily use chrome remote desktop or something

Hello I have a question on DearPyGui tables. How would i go about indexing through each cell row by row, then modifying the background color of specific cells?

I know the recursive looping part and all that, but documentation doesn't really say much on getting the children of the table

or modifying cells either

[surreal escarp]

@light cairn you got a choice between textual and urwid for libraries

i mean TUIs can be made on console right?

[light cairn]

Yup. I like textual's look. I might use it for my projet. Thanks again bro.

[surreal escarp]

no problem good luck g

Hello 🙂 Im quite new to Python. I have a script that creates a "login" window. You type your name in there and it when clicking on "start chat" it closes itself and the script that created the login window now creates a chatroom with the username you entered in the login window. However I cant figure out how to return the entered username to my main script. Is there something in Python like in Unreal Engine (c++) where you can define a dispatcher in a class , bind to it from another place and and pick up dispatcher calls from inside the class that defines the dispatcher to execute code?

No not necessarily

It depends what other features you're using

Also you probably want to upgrade to pyside6

[livid meadow]

hello can someone help me on my simple GUI

damn it worked thanks

[last hemlock]

opinions? it's meant to be a watermelon-themed diary app

would love to hear reviews and feedback

[shell crystal]

It's cute, will it be themable?

[last hemlock]

probably not, since that means i'd need to design more themes

and i don't even have the thing made yet, this is just a prototype

but themes may be a good idea

[shell crystal]

or let the user do it

[last hemlock]

ah yes, "custom CSS here"

i'll add a menu after i make the whole thing

then you can edit the colours

[shell crystal]

I was thinking more of choosing colors

[shell crystal]

literally discord

Also maybe also give the option for server side decorations (native window buttons) Example below:

But that you can hold off on if even added at all

[last hemlock]

yeah that's what i was thinking

i made the text two levels thicker and and rearranged a few things. what do you think?

@shell crystal

[shell crystal]

A lot more readable, I like it

[vestal frigate]

was this made with PyQt6? or ctk

[last hemlock]

it was made with figma

it's a concept

[vestal frigate]

ahh ok

[last hemlock]

that's why it says at the bottom "the example text shown is AI generated"

[vestal frigate]

its a very good concept well done

[silver stump]

how to make an interface with python? and i dont mean with kivy

[errant parcel]

||Little late to the party but hey ho :p|| Not a bad UI concept - reminds me of the Apple Notes app a bit.
I recommend moving the "new entry" button to the top of your sidebar as a user with multiple entries would find it tedious to scroll down to the bottom each time. Adding it to the top would make it much more accessible as it won't move positions and it'll always be easily accessible.

[fickle musk]

whats best library for UI? im new to python and looking to add some ui for some apps

[vestal frigate]

PyQt6, CustomTKinter, Kivy, Tkinter, PyQt5

[lofty pond]

Easiest one to learn is Tkinter, Python comes with it and it is great for beginner project. I say there is no best UI libraries, you can do just about anything with any library

TL;DR: I would like to write my own _tkinter.c Python 3 package akin to tkinter.py, would this be relevant to others once I open-source it?
I attached a sample file in the pastebin above.

Dunno, there's just...a certain itch I can't seem to scratch when I look over the tkinter.py code.

[light vault]

PyGObject?

[plucky furnace]

I meant this bruh

i know its horrible

but i need to sell it

it's a badass product

ig

[last hemlock]

no idea how i missed this but yes, i'll probably move the "new" entry button to the very bottom.

do you think i should give the option for a compacted view? like how in vscode, each section is a thin rectangle that only displays the file name?

and another thing: could i make it so it inserts headings for things like "today", "yesterday", "last week", "last month", "last year", etc?

[errant parcel]

Yeah I think both of those would be good ideas. The compact view especially - I would definitely use that one lol

[fast urchin]

Probably yea

[mild granite]

Hi, is it possible for sommeone to help me with a tkinter code problem? I put it in the help section but here is the code if you cant find it https://paste.pythondiscord.com/IFFQ

[royal cape]

@mild granite The problem is a bit complex to understand, but essentially your checkNum variable can only store one IntVar at a time, meaning that for every essential item that your for-loop goes through, it forgets the last IntVar you assigned to it - at the end, checkNum only has the IntVar you created for your "Rain Gear" checkbox since that's the last item in your essentials list, so your progress bar only increases if Rain Gear is checked:

Although in your actual program, your use of .place() is cutting off some of your buttons, hence why you can't see that "Rain Gear" checkbox:

Before you work on the IntVars, I suggest fixing the overflowing content first by:

1. Replacing all three .place() calls with .pack()
2. Removing checklist_frame.pack_propagate(False)
   When you use pack this way, Tkinter can automatically fit your content without needing to set the exact width/height, and it'll look like the first screenshot

[mild granite]

Oh ok, main main problem is getting the logic doen first though, the cosmetics I think is not as big of a priority. This is part of a larger program (I can really share due to an api key though). Thank you for your time though

[royal cape]

Well, it's easier to understand what I mean if you can click on Rain Gear and see how the progress bar only fills when you check that button

[mild granite]

I can see Rain Gear on my screen though

[royal cape]

Oh, in that case can you see what I'm talking about?

[mild granite]

Yh

[royal cape]

Look back at this explanation, am I helping you understand why only the Rain Gear checkbox works?

... essentially your checkNum variable can only store one IntVar at a time, meaning that for every essential item that your for-loop goes through, it forgets the last IntVar you assigned to it - at the end, checkNum only has the IntVar you created for your "Rain Gear" checkbox since that's the last item in your essentials list, so your progress bar only increases if Rain Gear is checked ...

It's easier to discuss solutions if you know why checkNum variable isn't sufficient by itself

I have a couple in mind, but the one I think you'd want to try is storing all your IntVars in a single list

[mild granite]

Yh I get it. I thought of storing all of the .checkNums in list so that I can access them but I have to actually try it

[royal cape]

Yup, you're on the right path

[mild granite]

Ok but now I will need to access the index depending on which check box I click

I guess I could emunerate the for loop but idk if that will actualy help with anything

[royal cape]

I actually would sum up all the checked boxes instead, that way you don't need to worry about exactly which box they clicked on

[mild granite]

huh?

Wait, do you mean to check every one each time, that actually might work

[royal cape]

passing the index to fill_progressbar() could work too, but there's a different quirk there to tackle, specifically ways to avoid late-binding variables closures (that seems to be more semantically correct)

[mild granite]

No clue what a late binding variable is but I think your way seems more logical

[royal cape]

most of the time you'll only encounter this gotcha when defining lambda/def functions inside loops, so generally if you avoid doing that, you don't need to worry about it

but if you're interested in understanding it, you can read about it here:
https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/gotchas/#late-binding-closures

[mild granite]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/J2AQ this is what I have so far but it doesnt work as intended. The progress bar only starts to update after the number of ones checked exceeds 8(half way point). The order doest matter in selecting now though so I guess ! problem down?

[mild granite]

Thanks, I will

[royal cape]

since the variable list lets you calculate the total progress percentage each time, you don't need the global progress_fill variable to add/subtract from anymore, just start at zero and add up the variables that are checked

something like: py progress = 0 for choice in variable_list: if choice.get() == 1: progress += 6.25 (this could also be simplified further with some division math)

[mild granite]

This doesnt really help me, I have no clue what is happenning

[royal cape]

hmm, think about what's happening to progresss_fill in your current code: py global progresss_fill for choice in variable_list: if choice.get() == 1: progresss_fill += 6.25 else: # When checkbutton is unchecked. if progresss_fill > 0: progresss_fill -= 6.25 what does the for-loop do if you have the first 2 out of your 16 essentials checked?

[mild granite]

Ok I get it now

[royal cape]

FYI @light cosmos proposed an alternative solution in your help thread which addresses the late-binding closures directly, if you want to try that out #1319080732773318696 message

[pure siren]

Hi, does anyone know a nice library that I can use for interactive prompting. At the moment I'm using PyInquirer (https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer) but that's not as flexible as I want (for example: I want a user to be able to press Q while in a selection prompt). prompt-toolkit isn't exactly what I want (that looks more of a library to use for editing larger prompts), and looking on the interwebz mostly comes up with command line argument parsing libraries, which isn't what I want (I need an interactive prompt, command line arguments are not used).

[full hamlet]

OpenWebUi?
Few others; I'm searching and curating things in this area; is that relevant?

[full hamlet]

Interactive Prompting
Is what led me to that consideration.

[timid vale]

Hey @royal gull, im gonna continue here cause I can’t bother reopening a help channel each time it gets closed. To answer your question, no I didn’t put a # cause I made a QPushButton subclass called Button, and apparently you can just put the name of the class that way. But yeah, the style for the hover or pressed state wouldn’t seem to apply unless I put a border specification. Idk why, maybe something was wrongly set up with my class, I can’t show u rn, but maybe later

[plucky furnace]

why is programming

[plucky furnace]

i quit c++ guys

and i need help

fr

i am learning python

but i dont get it

why is there something called "def"

wth is that

[pure siren]

Sorry no I don't need anything AI related. I mean prompting in the sense of prompting a user for input. Not a genAI prompt.

[junior tangle]

Hello, I am struggling with getting a tkinter menu to work by using classes. I tried to make a filemenu class and create a basic filemenu. The code I believe I am running into a problem with is using [root].config(menu=menubar) < since now menubar I don't believe can be called by the main class.

Essentially, I have code that creates the filemenu, but my code isn't displaying the menu when I run

[rustic saffron]

def is short for “define”. It's a keyword that you need to define a function (aka method). All the code that you put between the def function_name(parameters) and end will be executed every time you call the function_name later.

[royal cape]

can you provide a minimal reproducible example? i've typically written my Menu subclasses like this: ```py
from tkinter import Tk, Menu

class MyMenu(Menu):
def init(self, parent):
super().init(parent)
self.add_cascade(label="File", menu=FileMenu(self))
self.add_command(label="About", command=lambda: print("Hello world!"))

class FileMenu(Menu):
def init(self, parent):
super().init(parent)
self.add_command(label="New...")
self.add_command(label="Open...")
self.add_command(label="Save")
self.add_command(label="Save As...")
self.add_separator()
self.add_command(label="Exit")

app = Tk()
app.option_add("*tearOff", False)
app.configure(menu=MyMenu(app))
app.mainloop()```

[junior tangle]

Yes, this is what I was able to get working actually. I probably don't need to add any more complexity to it but I was trying to move it into a function: create_filemenu

then I wanted to call create_filemenu() in the init function. Probably overkill, but I was struggling specifically with your example: app.configure(menu=MyMenu(app)). When you put it in a seperate function and call that function in init I think it doesn't work because the create_filemenu function does not have the exact same self, parent references as in the init. If that makes sense. I am content with the way you put it, but was wondering how I'd do it the other way I was trying

How do I change the interval of a QTimer after it has started

for example ```py
timer = QTimer()
timer.timeout.connect(function)
timer.start(1000)

I tried doing ```py
timer.setInterval(100)``` later on in the code but it doesn't work

[royal gull]

!paste That should do it. Could you share the rest of the code?

[proven basin]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[grand zenith]

the code is extremely long and its split into multiple files

[grand zenith]

basically this timer is running inside of a QThread and when I change the interval OUTSIDE of the thread the timer just stops working, but if I change the interval INSIDE of the thread, it works

so basically a simple version of the code would be ```py
class SomeThread(QThread):
def init(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().init(*args, **kwargs)

def run(self):
self.timer = QTimer()
self.timer.timeout.connect(self.func)
self.timer.start(1000) # 1 second

def func(self):
print("Timeout")```

if I were to set the interval inside of the SomeThread class, it would work but outside the timer stops working, meaning I can't do something like ```py
some_thread_worker = SomeThread()
some_thread_thread = QThread()

thread logic

later on...

some_thread_worker.timer.setInterval(100)``` this doesn't work for some reason

[royal gull]

I'm not completely sure, but I'll assume it's probably because setInterval basically recreates the timer with said interval if it's already running and it might be doing that within your other thread so the timer becomes part of that thread instead. One way of fixing this would probably be through typical Qt signals.

So, your actual thread would have:

# i'll assume pyside, pyqt calls it "pyqtSignal"
class Thread(QThread):
  interval_changed = Signal(int)
  
  def __init__(self, ...) -> None:
    super().__init__(...)
    self.interval_changed.connect(self.set_interval)

  def set_interval(self, interval: int) -> None:
    ...

And where that thread is made:

some_thread = QThread()
# somewhere else, presumably
some_thread.interval_changed.emit(100)

[grand zenith]

i don't know why but this doesn't work either

the timer just stops like before

[royal gull]

You can maybe also try making it a single-shot timer and restarting it manually. That might make a difference.

[odd glacier]

yum

[grand zenith]

how do I do that? Isn't a single-shot timer non-blocking?

[royal gull]

With singleshot, you'd basically just have the timeout function call start again (practically as if it wasn't single shot). QTimer itself is non-blocking. I found something of note in the docs that backs up what I was saying earlier:

In multithreaded applications, you can use QTimer in any thread that has an event loop. To start an event loop from a non-GUI thread, use exec() . Qt uses the timer’s thread affinity to determine which thread will emit the timeout() signal. Because of this, you must start and stop the timer in its thread; it is not possible to start a timer from another thread.
You might need to explicity move the timer to the thread before restarting it.

[grand zenith]

You might need to explicity move the timer to the thread before restarting it.

How do I do that?

is it self.moveToThread(self.timer)?

[royal gull]

timer.moveToThread(...)

[grand zenith]

I tried this but it still doesn't work

        self.worker.timer.moveToThread(QApplication.instance().thread())
        self.worker.timer.setInterval(update_interval)
        self.worker.timer.moveToThread(self.thread)

self.thread is the QThread object the worker is running on where the timer is btw

it was made with py self.worker.moveToThread(self.thread)

[royal gull]

Yeah... unfortunately I'm not sure how to proceed. If possible, I'd probably just move the timer to the same thread as where you're setting the interval. That would probably be better than the workarounds.

[grand zenith]

very weird problem. I ended up just using a recursive function and QTimer.singleShot ```py
class SomeThread(QThread):
def init(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().init(*args, **kwargs)

def run(self):
self.interval = 1000
self.func_loop()

def func(self):
print("Timeout")

def func_loop(self):
func()
QTimer.singleShot(self.interval, self.func_loop)```

I have a project I made with Python, but I want to make a desktop application for it. But I want to use beautiful animations and modernized design in this application. What technologies do I need to know to design a modern interface with these beautiful and effective animations? (I need to be able to use everything with Python (I said this because you may recommend web technology))

[tawdry wren]

do u know how can i play a video in CTk?

[sudden lynx]

get video frame and display them by calculating timing

on a label

[sudden lynx]

you can use pyside but if you are good with webui you should use the webui

[brittle birch]

What is the webui?

[silver stump]

how can i make a gui in python without kivy? i use tkinter, but i think its just too hard or something like that...

[sudden lynx]

that webtech you were mentioning

[cosmic dove]

Is it possible to make a gradient after you click button?

[odd glacier]

use tkinter or you doing webgui

[odd glacier]

@viral hatch

tk looks so mid

i got working scaling and such, but i gotta fix that weird border issue

[viral hatch]

Will you add a sidebar that shows the files?

[odd glacier]

possible that i could, but id need to maybe have a system of loading a folder

[viral hatch]

pathlib would be very nice for that if you're interested

[odd glacier]

does it list folders as well as documents?

[viral hatch]

lemme check

!d pathlib.Path.iterdir

[proven basin]

pathlib.Path.iterdir

Path.iterdir()```
When the path points to a directory, yield path objects of the directory contents...

[viral hatch]

looks like it, based on the example output

[odd glacier]

gonna have to make some themes i think

looks better like that

( stolen from VSC im not capper )

[cosmic dove]

How can I change the foreground using command

[odd glacier]

How can I make a lane print underneath the label and not to the side of it?

#Ex:

[cosmic dove]

Is this ok for a GUI?

[modest dove]

Looks a bit bland, what kinda style r you going for? And are you using tk?

[frank cedar]

I am currently working on this project that enables designing UI for Python in GIMP. Short intro video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdpWYo3-Y6Y&t=11s and here is a demo application https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLU4F_n59yg&t=7s (seek to 11:16 to see how a UI designed in GIMP is mapped for use by Python libraries written for the purpose, seek to 15:15 to see how a UI designed in GIMP comes to life). The work is near completion so will be published on GitHub soon.

What is the best gui library in python?

[cosmic dove]

Yes

[modest dove]

If your going for a more modern way you could consider using CTK

[cosmic dove]

I might put this on the label

[runic latch]

anyone know why i got this error, i am on mac os

[modest dove]

No idea how to do pygame but I think you need to initialize it

[runic latch]

yeah i did in a different file

[modest dove]

It also seems that you aren't even runnign your functions?

Could you show the other file?

[modest dove]

^^

[icy trench]

i would say pyqt is probably the best one ive tried

this is one of the apps ive made with pyqt and in my opinion it looks pretty modern.

[modest dove]

How long did this take you god damn?

[icy trench]

a long time haha

[modest dove]

The way it looks like it belongs in a WIN 11 environment is amazing

Big inspiration from the task manager but i fuck with it

[sleek arrow]

What is the best python ui library which makes amazing uis

Ping me fr answer

[icy trench]

yeah haha, when i made this i put hours and hours into making it look like a winui3 app, but it turns out there is literally an addon to pyqt that already had it all. https://github.com/zhiyiYo/PyQt-Fluent-Widgets

[brittle birch]

What do you think about electron.js? I want to make an application. Do you think I should do it with electron.js?

[somber hemlock]

you should probably ask this on a javascript related discord

Hello. I have a simple svg with a path, which I'm trying to virualize in a PyQt6's QIcon. A PNG works just fine, but I'd like to keep the svg file format because it's a systray icon and I want it to blend with the other icon color (which should be "currentColor" afaik). May you please help me? Here you can see the SVG: https://github.com/elegos/Linux-Arctis-ChatMix/blob/feature/systray-app/arctis_chatmix/images/steelseries_logo.svg

btw I call it like this:

        self.tray_icon = QSystemTrayIcon(QIcon(
            str(Path(__file__).parent.joinpath('images', 'steelseries_logo.svg').absolute().as_posix())
        ), parent=self.app)

[cosmic dove]

How can I make it less bland?

[shell crystal]

stop using tk, it's not really made to be themed

or at least add a background

[cosmic dove]

Is there a way of setting a border around labels
To style it

[cosmic dove]

I can configure a color theme def

[modest dove]

Really simplified but it's a prove of concept

[cosmic dove]

I thought of something similar to BioShock

[modest dove]

The game?

[cosmic dove]

Yes and want something that feel fancy sorry

[modest dove]

No idea how to do that, but you go ahead & try bro. I'm curious to see how you would do it :)

[cosmic dove]

Is there something to configure something with a clear background on top of a label?

[modest dove]

r u using pyqt?

[oak hearth]

I’ve been working on a GUI program for my CS50P final project, and I’m trying to add an OK button using customTkinter. However, it keeps throwing an error. I’ve tried handling it with try and except, but it doesn’t resolve the issue. Interestingly, when I use a standard tkinter button, it works fine, but it doesn’t match the theme of my application. On the out side it looks ok but it prints an error message on the terminal.

What’s confusing is that I’ve successfully implemented a Back button with almost identical syntax in another window of the same program, and it works perfectly. I’ve been stuck on this issue for two days now—any help would be greatly appreciated!
