[candid fern]

I would have helped although I use Tkinter because for some reason I did not download python correctly

[tidal socket]

I have not used it. How do you like it?

[candid fern]

It's amazing from what I can tell

https://youtube.com/shorts/VKvnhYfsBkw?si=pTq1Co7LiX4Yqo_y
People use costom TKinter I've never used it because I usually don't care when I make it DUI as long as it's quick efficient and useful

[tidal socket]

ya makes sense. ill have to check it and it looks really nice

[candid fern]

Not DUI sorry I'm doing last minute Christmas prepping along with texting

[wooden vapor]

Ah, that seems more straightforward

I also found this yesterday
https://github.com/ucharmdev/ucharm#readme

It also has a TUI library

[digital rose]

bet 🔥

[wooden vapor]

One could also use PyQt: https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtpy

[cursive bay]

You can use the python Flet it's like react and very nice

[tidal socket]

Looks nice. I'll have to play around with. Very speedy too.

[glass rampart]

Anyone used flet? Is it good?

[cloud scroll]

Its alright. But since its just a Python wrapper of the actual Flutter, might as well use Flutter directly. Similar syntax anyways

[craggy shore]

Oh yes it so cool

[austere trout]

started messing with it myself

all in one snippet

heres one of my tkinter uis

[candid fern]

There's a GitHub for something that you just drag and drop what you want you still have to code it but it gives you some of the code to make the bars the specific way you want them to be

[austere trout]

I like writing it

[candid fern]

I do too but I think it's just for the place methods I could use it for prototyping guis so I'm not saying ugh that's off by too much so if I use the program I can make the DUI just how I want it

[candid fern]

Me too but if I'm trying to make something quickly it's better to have something that's quick

[austere trout]

perhaps

im a featuraholic tho so quick is never an option

[candid fern]

Just drag and drop and basically places those parts so you can just count it to what you want you can just drag and drop parts for features and then you code the rest

[austere trout]

what library is this based off of?

is it its own thing?

[candid fern]

It's a website online I don't think it has a GitHub

[austere trout]

send it

is it like an actual designer with implementable functionality or is it just something like canva

or figma

I've used figma a lot

[austere trout]

Are there any ways I can improve this UI?

[candid fern]

I don't know

[empty jackal]

i really appreciate your feedback

[empty jackal]

so i added a navigation to seperate the two major components

shouldve done this on the first place xd

[candid fern]

Everything is perfect from what I can see but I haven't seen the code in the background so I don't know much

[obtuse bough]

how make this?

[brave shale]

hey does any one have knowledge in PyQt6 ? i am trying to add middle click open new tab but i don't know how to

[wintry tapir]

Guys I am building a terminal youtube music player using textual and rich

Anything i can improve and add more details 🤔

[cloud scroll]

Just a suggestion, maybe add lyrics to each song? 🤷‍♂️

[wintry tapir]

I planned it but i think it's too heavy for low end devices

[keen tiger]

what module would I use to create a window and directly control pixels within that window? I wanna build a windows and android compatible app from the ground up (I understand it would be faster to use a module with built in functions, this is a learning opportunity for me.)

Edit: looks like tkinter is what i need to use, idk why it wasn't showing up in the searches seeing as it is a default module.

[slim hamlet]

kivy if you want it to work for android too

[median sleet]

hi! could someone help me create a gui? its supposed to be a netflix movie recommendation system. i've dowloaded the dataset from kaggle but i have 0 knowledge about guis or how they're made. i'm using codeHS but i don't know how to start. if anyone is willing to help that would be great!

[low roost]

well i use html, css for my gui's but before that I used tkinter which is a library for python

[sullen cape]

Hey guys,
I’m building a React Native app for students where the core feature is an interactive library seat map. The idea is to visually represent tables and seats, allow users to tap a seat to mark it as available/occupied, and update this in real time since the library is usually full.
What’s the best technical approach in React Native to build this kind of interactive seat layout?

[clear kayak]

I did the weird thing and made app launcher in style of w8 metro ui for my pop os:
main use is launching python scripts like apps
it supports system native apps and flatpacks
it sits in tray until "super+p" is pressed
you can change colors and replace background with wallpaper
i believe it has most of functionality of win 8 start menu so tiles are movable and can be easily rearanged

[glossy jewel]

hello all, im wondering if theres anyone here that wants to help me brainstorm discord bot stuff. im wanting to update a discord music bot i made: it currently has a global library of downloaded songs with a paginated view of 10 songs per page, using |first| |back| |next| |last| page navigation buttons. this is a huge pain for navigation of the growing 200+ song library.

I am trying to think of methods to segregate views to be server specific without affecting the user experience negatively in a way they dont see music that is existing due to the seperate views.

WIP testing ui for a media player library

[indigo venture]

What is the best ui import, im using pyqt6 now, i used customtkinter and tkinter before

[sleek hollow]

pyqt is great, but you should be using pyside instead. The naming is super confusing but pyside is the library from the actual Qt company and pyqt is the 3rd party one

[indigo venture]

Can u send a example in pyside

[sleek hollow]

the code is 99.9% the same, you just change the imports from PyQt6 to PySide6

The only main difference I can think of is a change in syntax for custom signals

so instead of QtCore.pyqtSignal, it would be QtCore.Signal

[indigo venture]

Thx i have only Imports that i can Change the Name and it works
Thank you so much

[pine saddle]

cursed formatting or?

[graceful axle]

What are the best or most used Python libraries for user interfaces?

[vast tinsel]

tkinter and qt6 i think

[mighty rock]

Qt6 isn't a Python library, there are PySide6 and PyQt6

Besides these, there are also customtkinter, flet and kivy

[fast girder]

with PySide6 widgets whats the widget called which will allow me to do this kinda drop down section, ive google a few things but people use a button but you can see the whole button, id like to just click the text for example and it switched it down/ toggles?

[royal gull]

afaik Qt Widgets doesn't have a specific widget for this, though you could probably build one using a widget and then another (like a button or label) as the trigger. You can probably also achieve similar with a QTreeWidget.

[indigo venture]

U can use QComboBox()

[grand scroll]

hello guys what's the best python GUI library for desktop app's (LInux machine)

[mighty rock]

It's highly subjective so what's your question really?

[stiff mist]

How does it look. It is floating gui which stays on your screen.
It is for a game called ps99 in roblox
it main purpose is to save people time from 5 minutes a trade to a few seconds.
as now players can just hover over any pet and it would calculate its value and everything from a website(which i scraped)

[lime smelt]

Hello, I’ve got a weird Qt style issue.

On KDE Plasma (Breeze Dark system theme).
Before refactoring, my PyQt6 app automatically used Breeze.
After splitting the code into multiple modules, it now defaults to Fusion, even though I havent called setStyle() anywhere...

Program Entry:
⁨⁨⁨```py
import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow
from PyQt6 import uic

from tab_main import TabMain
from tab_settings import TabSettings
from tab_cammy import TabCammy
from tab_about import TabAbout

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def init(self):
super().init()
uic.loadUi("Mainwindow.ui", self)
self.tab_main = TabMain(self)
self.tab_settings = TabSettings(self)
self.tab_cammy = TabCammy(self)
self.tab_about = TabAbout(self)

if name == "main":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())```⁩⁩⁩
⁩

Example of a tab module:
⁨⁨⁨```py
import cv2
from PyQt6 import QtGui, QtCore
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QFileDialog

class TabCammy:
def init(self, ui):
self.ui = ui

No call to QApplication.setStyle() anywhere.

After splitting into modules, Qt uses Fusion instead of Breeze.
Before splitting, same UI + same system = Breeze.

Environment:
KDE Plasma (Breeze Dark)
PyQt6
Linux (cachyos)
venv (has cv2, numpy, pyqt5, pyqt6 installed)

[topaz mango]

I think the individual windows look really good and like the idea. Not sure about the design of having multiple windows popped out rather than one but I don't play the game so can't really comment on the user experience. Which UI library did you use?

[stiff mist]

there are cross button, you can just have 1 UI in your screen, if you want.

like if you need calcualtor then open calculator then use it and then close it again.

i used pyside6

[stiff mist]

if you want like source code of this app then lmk, i made it opensource

[topaz mango]

Niceee. Yea I'd be interested in seeing it. I'm looking to get into UI programming and I've played around with pyside6 myself and found threading and stuff to be very pleasant. Didn't make anything nice looking though.

[stiff mist]

https://github.com/smanav225-hub/Pet-Sim-99-Trade-Assistant

from the documentations. see scripts.md from there you can know what each script does, and which contain gui.
and you can also see the images

[stiff mist]

and if you can, like my repo

[topaz mango]

Done, since this is really good. I really like how you shared the whole process along with the code and how clean and direct the write ups are.

[stiff mist]

ty,
i did not really tell the whole process on how i built it.
after building the project, i just added documentation for overall everything
and explained how my app works

[stiff mist]

even if you don't know about that roblox game. the workflow for image detection is really amazing.
to get literally all the details from a random image with everything shades and random was truly hard

[stiff mist]

you should see the workflow.md file

[stiff mist]

@topaz mango ?

[topaz mango]

That was the main one i was looking at, and why I said there was so much value provided, and stick by it even if not everything for the whole process "In the 0.5 seconds after you press a key, the app performs a series of advanced computer vision and data processing tasks.", "DWM Buffer Clearing: The app waits for exactly 0.12 seconds to allow the Windows display buffer to clear.". I've bookmarked it and will probably go over it more in the future next time I want to do anything similar.

[topaz mango]

I agree completely and to do it fast in the process

[stiff mist]

yeah, i needed to take this screenshot, which basically gave me nothing.

it takes a screenshot of your inventory. and cuts it into pieces to tell its value from database,(which you webscrape).

I had to solve hundreds of problems for it.
teh size of hover area of each pet is different
hover part can be on anywhere in the screen
to detect the shape i need to analyze and find location of the purple border.
the purple border has effect so it moves, so there is no fixed color
sometimes lower part of purple border is missing. so it need to analyze from 3 sides only
rainbow rarity text color changes each second
things like easyocr are not perfect so i need to use rapidfuzz(find simialr word with same text liek c4t for cat)

everything in the image has shade. so all the name, color and everything is shaded. so you cant just use a fixed color for anything

[topaz mango]

I think people might take it working with the bottom being obscured for granted, but that's impressive and you've produced a higher quality piece of software with these considerations. You've also taken a pragmatic approach to the OCR text not being right (I'm not generally into OCR stuff I've used it for automation very slowly before myself, so i don't know how common that is) but all of that seems good, and the UI isn't ugly 😂

[stiff mist]

yeah

[stiff mist]

I wanted to make this project better. but I don't really have much motivation for it.
I wanted to make buying bot, which will go to each server and buy stuff for you, while you sleep and make you profit.

but I stopped, as it was taking too long, and my app is not famous enough, for me to spend 5-20 hours making something, which only 5-10 people will use

[topaz mango]

You could try showing this one off more or something to get people interested/more feedback, for me that. I find that I'm more motivated with positive feedback from the non-developer community. You could also just do it for yourself/wait until maybe you're motivated in the future. I find that when it comes to stuff like this surrounding games they're a good learning opportunity that you don't necessarily get otherwise, and once you're into one, you can go further and learn more with a reasonable amount of effort. But you'd know more how worth it or not it is really.

[stiff mist]

true

[stiff mist]

i just made this app for fun as a side project because i was bored.
Mainly, I am working on a few things, (I try to take any paid service, and try to make a free alternative for it)

1. A web search api which runs locally for free and is better than perpleixty, exa ai, Chat-gpt research by like a lot. (like 20-30 percent done)

2. a autonomous coding app, where you just give a idea and the app can make a big projects with hundreds of thousands of lines of code. for also completely free. (will still take 4-5 months)

3. A webscrapper, where i can create a 100% copy of any website instantly, like i create a copy of entire website and all its webpages of google, apple, and many others. and ran them in localhost

and many more small projects

[topaz mango]

I can relate to that. I have several relatively small projects going on myself and I jump between several of them/ignore some for long durations depending on what I feel like. All three of those are definitely more important and arguably the first two since more local AI solutions are always good. You should probably just focus on whichever you feel like and get back to it if you ever feel like it assuming the game is still around.

[stiff mist]

yeah, i will be focusing on point 1 and point 2. together

as to make that perfect app of point 2. i need to make the world best web search api. for all the research work.

I have like a entire todo list of liek 70-90 points to do. and after that it should be completed.

[stiff mist]

on what projects are you working on

[topaz mango]

For a project for a relatively small community some of the features are going to be presented on discord such as registration and I'm generally very serious about automated testing. So one project is to make a fake discord API for automated testing which otherwise operates like the real thing. Another is to build a wrapper around pulumi to add new features because their infrastructure as code stuff doesn't properly support immutable servers (you can't have it so that it only deletes old servers after you've verified new ones are created), I'm also going to be working on an asyncio based performance testing framework where you just give it coroutines and it runs them and measures the performance so that it can test anything and use existing asyncio based code which I have for other types of tests. And several things in between those. I'm also just researching a lot in the meantime when I don't feel like working.

[stiff mist]

thats cool

[opaque maple]

Hi 1 or 2? Which better?

(it's not too much python 👀 But it is UI )

[mighty rock]

2 except for the steppingstones. They look really out of place

[opaque maple]

Oh, thank you! They are actually like Duolingo's stepping steppingstones. If the user completes the highest level lesson, the gradient rotates around the hexagon.

[mighty rock]

Yes I thought you worked for Duolingo for a moment

[opaque maple]

Interestingly, I spent the most time on hexagons. 👀 👀 👀

[mighty rock]

!zen 1,3

[proven basin]

The Zen of Python (line 1):

Explicit is better than implicit.

[mighty rock]

Uh

!zen 0 2

[opaque maple]

What can I use in place of the hexagons? 🤔

[proven basin]

The Zen of Python (line 0):

Beautiful is better than ugly.

[mighty rock]

What you have on the left

[opaque maple]

Ohh a hybrit UI

I will try ty so much

[mighty rock]

Yes exactly

[opaque maple]

Thank you very much. I'll start working on it.

[mighty rock]

You're welcome

[opaque maple]

here 👀

[mighty rock]

This looks nice. If you want, you can enlarge them and maybe include the other things from figure 2 like the progress and I assume time of completion

But I think increasing the size should take higher consideration priority because I believe the steppingstones are the main point of this screen

[opaque maple]

It's the same idea of Duolingo. They serve exactly the same purpose, just more regional. Ty for feedback.

[shell crystal]

Progress on TinyXUI

[vital linden]

What os is this

[shell crystal]

Linux

Fedora KDE

TinyXUI works on Windows too though

[vital linden]

Okie

[spring pewter]

i want to learn kivy

can someone just mention the basic py things i gotta grasp bfr starting it

[shell crystal]

You should probably learn how classes and functions work if you don't know how they work already

as Kivy uses them everywhere

[grave surge]

Just go the python dev route on roadmap.sh

[south knoll]

I really hope some design principles and basics to be added as resources here

[spring pewter]

i have some many reddit posts, apart from class being a folder for def, i didnt find much diff

can someone tell me some other diffs?

[bold palm]

That's not at all the point or purpose

a class is an encapsulation method to keep semantically related data close together and close to functionality that operates on that data, and a way to provide dynamic message dispatch

[spring pewter]

uhh can you please say a little bit in my english 😓

[bold palm]

some data naturally goes together (name, age, email address). It makes sense to encapsulate that data so that you can deal with the larger thing that data represents (a User) rather than individual, unattached pieces

and it's also convenient to keep the functions that operate on users close to the user data

so, related data and methods that operate on that data

[spring pewter]

oh.. Thks alot 👍

[rocky flint]

If I'm already familiar with PyQt, is there any case where Tkinter would be more beneficial to use? (I know it's a built-in Python library)

Packaging/making executables from modules that use PyQt results to 2-digit and 3-digit file sizes (no larger than that for me so far).
If the final size doesn't matter, is there anything for which you'd prefer to use Tkinter?
If size matters but it's not a good interface to use, which alternative would you recommend?

I was thinking to experiment with SQL a bit - show a table or two, maybe extract results, maybe make simple graphs too? Brainstorming at the moment, the final idea may be different but it's not going to be something very complex

[royal gull]

There are I feel two benefits of using Tkinter: 1) it's simple and 2) it's builtin. That's the gist of it. You can get good UI with Tkinter via stuff like CustomTkinter but it's hacky at the end of the day. Also, for your example, Tk does not have a builtin table widget so you'd need to use a third party one.

The file size is explained by the fact that most tools work by bundling the Python interpreter alongside your code and its dependencies. so having Qt + the whole interpreter bundled would likely explain the size. There are a few ways of reducing it: the first is forgoing onefile mode and instead distribute the application and any required DLLs, the second would be using an executable packer such as upx, which sometimes trips AVs, but can be pretty effective at reducing the size.

[rocky flint]

I see
Then I'll not use Tkinter. Size's not too important for now.
For the rest (DearPyQui etc.), is it generally just a matter of curiosity, and the case of "I'm asked to use X library"?
*emphasis on "generally", unless it's important to be aware or the differences

[royal gull]

For the others it's mostly a matter of preference and the ecosystem. For example, Kivy is a well known library that you can use to build mobile apps (same thing with Flet, which is a wrapper around Flutter). There are some others like streamlit or nicegui which are built for the web, and then there's also a few other libraries like toga, PyGObject (GTK), and dearpygui.

[rocky flint]

My first interraction was with GTK but quickly changed to PyQt. I forgot why but remember that I couldn't make it work. Haven't used others so far.
(Windows user)

[mighty rock]

Tk does not have a builtin table widget so you'd need to use a third party one.
Or use tkinter.ttk.Treeview
https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/tree.html

[vernal spear]

You could perhaps build pages by alphabet or ranges within the alphabet? A page for [A], a page for [B-D], etc. Depending on the frequency of starting letters of all the songs you could make sections that have about 10 items each. You can even make different sortings with song title and artist. Might be tricky to build, but at least it's easier to navigate since people don't have to guess what section the song they're looking for might be in.

[glossy jewel]

that sounds like a great idea, ill definitely have to test it out in a few formats like you say of artist / title etc.

gotta say, atfirst i was annoyed at the random ping but after reading, your idea is really helpul

i feel i should have thought of that a month ago lol

Thanks!

[indigo venture]

I made a dummy gui that has no real func, can U rate it

[sweet ferry]

I used tkinter for GUI and i made it borderless and added X button And minimize button, but minimize doesn't work on borderless screens for some reason? It gives this error:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1967, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 2161, in wm_iconify
    return self.tk.call('wm', 'iconify', self._w)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
_tkinter.TclError: can't iconify ".": override-redirect flag is set```

and i guess to do this i could unmake it borderless while it's minimized and then when person clicks on program again it becomes borderless while it opens program. But is there easier and better solution than that?

[mighty rock]

Try withdraw instead of iconify

For an override-redirect window it makes no sense to iconify it because it doesn't quite even have something like an icon... withdraw just removes it from the screen

I'm sure there are folks here who can help if you just post your questions

[burnt rampart]

I was working on my code and had someone from this community test it and got a lot of issues with GUI - cmd - so I am writing the code but wanted to make improved GUI - real one - but I am stuck on how I don't know anything about tkinter or where to start.

[vernal spear]

This video was shared here today, seems to be a comprehensive guide to getting started. I haven't had time to watch it yet but you can give it a shot

[mighty rock]

You're referencing the past unless they thanked me for nothing

[lean fossil]

ı can help

[vernal spear]

Oh it's the same person, I hadn't noticed, my bad

[forest cloud]

considering dipping my toes back into UI work... Tkinter or Tkinter.ttk? I've used base Tkinter before, is that just an outdated approach?

And as an aside, what's the overhead of Python Tkinter vs pure C/Tcl/Tk? Not saying I necessarily want to deal with the latter but I make crazy choices sometimes.

[royal cape]

afaik yeah, themed widgets offer more aesthetically native/pleasing defaults than their non-themed counterparts, though the process for re-styling them is dramatically different if you're only used to the base widgets:
https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/styles.html

there are also third-party packages that offer pre-made styles like CustomTkinter, ttkbootstrap, and sv-ttk, if you're interested in using those; the first one handrolls its own theme manager and builds on top of Tk Canvas to draw its own widgets, while the other two are ttk themes you can apply to your existing ttk apps

an example of a larger app based on ttk:
https://github.com/tomlin7/biscuit

[indigo venture]

Low-key tk overrated, if you want to make sth round U need to canvas

[indigo venture]

What is this syntax highlight

[royal cape]

And as an aside, what's the overhead of Python Tkinter vs pure C/Tcl/Tk?
for this, i can't say much about it since i generally just dabble in UIs, though i know most of my laggy UI issues comes from me doing dumb stuff like... rapidly rescaling images with pillow on the main thread

[indigo venture]

Not much overhead, as long as U optimise it tk is good for simple or complex UI (with canvas) but it's really good. Thought I would recommend customtkinter because it does the canvas work for you and the commands are almost the same

Is kivy kinda decent nowadays? Haven't used it for a while

[stiff mist]

How does the GUI look like

Spent way too many hours coding with help of AI to make it.
Made it perfect with perfect ration, perfect hover effect and everythign else.

Does it look clean/good?

currently combined the GUI design of perplexity+claude

[mighty rock]

Clean

[stiff mist]

TY
It is a desktop+browser based.

So you can run in on browser, or you can run it as a desktop app.

For web in general, not about UIs, i would recommend django (havent used it a lot tho tbh) and ofc the builtin web modules (which are fine for most stuff too)

[polar vessel]

Thanks

[zealous spindle]

Clean

[stiff mist]

😀

[sly anchor]

If I want to create a desktop program (an .exe or .app file) for a typical user (someone who isn't a computer expert), what is the most popular approach to creating the GUI?

[mighty rock]

PySide6 maybe

[dire barn]

!warn 1478477430120386663 This is not a job board, don't try to recruit.

[modern mist]

I am building figlet font generator in pyqt6

Any suggestions?

Yes i will use pyfiglet library

[sinful nymph]

I just made one luckily python only no external dependencies

https://pypi.org/project/lynkio/1.1.3/

https://github.com/pythos-team/lynk

[zealous spindle]

This is a really cool project, man. It would be great to have more complete documentation, but just from the README.md file, it's clear that it's very good.

[sinful nymph]

Sure will add that now

[zealous spindle]

Cool!

Good job, bro :D

Just that example of chat surprised me.

[sinful nymph]

I added docs

[sinful nymph]

You tested

[polar vessel]

nice

i plan on making something similar at some point

[manic harbor]

Hello 👋

[sinful nymph]

Thanks I just realized a new version with automatic protocol switching TCP AND UDP

!pypi lynkio

[proven basin]

lynkio v1.1.5

Lynk – Python only Realtime Server Framework: HTTP + WebSockets + Database in one engine. No dependencies.

Released on <t:1773250560:D>.

[sinful nymph]

!pypi lynkio

[proven basin]

lynkio v1.1.6

Lynk – Python only Realtime Server Framework: HTTP + WebSockets + Database in one engine. No dependencies.

Released on <t:1773271866:D>.

[mighty rock]

A new release overnight?

[sinful nymph]

It is a patch for the old version and then I added UDP and postgres like database

[sinful nymph]

So yes

[modern mist]

Developing figlet text generator

Still incomplete and uses pyqt5 and pyfiglet

Any recommendation?

[lofty crown]

What's about this GUI

[daring coral]

Except the overlapping issue the UI itself is clean, modern, looks good to me

[daring coral]

above was in response to you btw

[warm fern]

Hi!

Did anybody can help me to learn ui and ux

I have a basic understanding but I am unable to think any design.

[ornate wraith]

read the book Don't Make Me Think

[warm fern]

Which book brother

[warm fern]

Its paid or free

And thanks once more

[mental zodiac]

why not lol

[mighty rock]

Nice. Does it support drag and drop?

[stiff mist]

I always wanted to make something like that and which autogenerated python code from GUI design.
Keep working🔥

[mental zodiac]

yeaaa

[mental zodiac]

thankss man i will

[stiff mist]

If you have not done much backend.
Then I should advice you to use Pyside6 module for UI instead of PySmtg as it is considered one of the best for python frontend.
I myself have used it, to create multiple apps, I got more customizability and thousands of minor features.

[stiff mist]

And, if possible start using help of AI to increase yoru scripting speed and finish it faster.

All the Best 👍

[mental zodiac]

thanks for all the advices my guy u'r really a gigachad

[latent condor]

I used tkinker for a long time because people said that pyside6 is hard. But when i changed to Pyside6 i saw that the change worth it, pyside have a lot of possibilities, lot of knowledge that helped me and the result its way better. (in certain topics is more practical to work than the easier ones)

[weary lichen]

i like it simplistic and modern colors are pleasing to the eyes

[hard locust]

Hi

[hard locust]

I rewrite qfiglet. It now uses art library and is divided into multiple files.

[echo lynx]

Wow

[hard locust]

Thanks

[echo lynx]

How long have you been programming?

[rugged portal]

What do you guys think???

A file manager UI that I'm programming.

[cloud scroll]

This could work if its in a VR that can handle hand/glove inputs. Those white dots are distracting and kinda cover the folder/filenames from reading or searching them. Pretty cool concept tho. Very sci-fi.

[hard locust]

5 years

[hard locust]

Looks very impressive. Is it running on android?

[young sedge]

No connections showing hierarchy of folders. As Galaxy of hierarchically connected folders it could work more may be

[hard locust]

Project is uploaded to codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Alex-Skywalker/qfiglet

[hard locust]

I have updated the ui

[rugged portal]

yep, I program a lot of things for mobile devices, I've even made Doom using Kivy.

[rugged portal]

Thanks for the idea!

[rugged portal]

This code was the first one, so there's a lot to fix.

[hard locust]

Very nice

[hidden reef]

i made a simple pokedex using CUSTOMTKINTER . i would like if someone rates it + give suggestions

[leaden reef]

Hear me out. Never use tkinter. Just use customtkinter, which is just better tkinter on top of tkinter

[hidden reef]

yeah yeah using that

does it look tkinter coded??

[fresh canyon]

Bad photo, but I'm working on a old school styled pixel art software. I plan to change the UI to be pixel art but this is what I have so far... any thoughts?

[mighty rock]

Width & height rather than x & y

[fresh canyon]

aight

[rough sedge]

I need a team to make minecraft hacks anyone here ?

[lament hearth]

So does anyone use Gester based interface here just wanna know?

[marble granite]

Hi, Can i try this?

[vocal cargo]

hey it looks really nice

i been messing around with tkinter and customtkinter a lot and i made like 3-5 mini apps

so much fun

but my honest opinion is, I love how your app looks

[autumn grove]

!pypi

[hidden reef]

hii id love iff youu doo , its still kinda messy tho😅lmk

[hidden reef]

yo thankss!! ikr messing with ctk is fun. i also made stuffs like auto clicker,task manager and stuffs there super usefull too . you should tryy making them as well.

[marble granite]

share with me, i will try my best

[vocal cargo]

yeah i'm still exploring my way but yeah I will thanks, keep up the funky apps :>

[hard locust]

@hidden reef @fresh canyon Very cool

[hard locust]

Nice guitar

[marble granite]

Thanks bro 🙌

@hard locust your profile pic is also cool 🤩

Hello everyone!

What's going on here?

[autumn fox]

import customtkinter as ctk

class App(ctk.CTk):
def init(self):
super().init(fg_color="#009600")
self.geometry('800x600')
self.title('Blackjack')
self.resizable(False, False)

CardHolder(self)


self.mainloop()

class CardHolder(ctk.CTkFrame):
def init(self, parent):
super().init(
master=parent,
fg_color='red')

self.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor='center')

ctk.CTkLabel(master=self, text='some card 1', fg_color='white').pack(side='left', padx=5, pady=5)
ctk.CTkLabel(master=self, text='some card 2', fg_color='white').pack(side='left', padx=5, pady=5)
ctk.CTkLabel(master=self, text='some card 3', fg_color='white').pack(side='left', padx=5, pady=5)

App()

why labels texts are somewhat outside of labels?

[crystal tusk]

Because tk.canvas (ctk.ctklabel) has the issue that it doesn't calculate the pixel length of a string not perfect and then it expands the labels textarea

[autumn fox]

what should i do or what should i keep in mind to get the desired results?

[crystal tusk]

i would suggest making the border collor alsow i cant reproduce that error with your code, use tk instead and do manueal shading

[placid nebula]

Hi, question how would you handle by function lets say 20 entryboxes to get data from and paste in each cell in excel in one row. More im curious how to make it with loop than how to paste it. Are you preplanning naming all this entryboxes with similar name and just passing number to it or how it could be handled?

[severe frost]

A vibe coded crypto wallet in python is beyond concerning 😭

[hushed hinge]

even this message vibe coded

ok so guys

i have question

hows flet

just how it is all in all

i think flutter is just too much

i just want a quick and easy way to make mobile apps

and flet looks promising

i have no long term intentions, none at all

i just want to make mobile apps for my personal use

[mighty rock]

If you're on Android there are Termux, pydroid and QPython. You can write scripts and save them on your phone then run when you want to use them. Termux is a command line interface for Android so you can use it like you would on Linux to install and run Python. The other two are Python editors and they support GUI programming. Pydroid supports even tkinter, and QPython supports kivy and native Android widgets and other things (it has example scripts for all of this).
You could probably find similar apps on iOS. Don't know much about other mobile phones

[hushed hinge]

Yeah I'm on Android

thanks for suggestions I'll look into them

[autumn grove]

pls tell me, should i use cuppertion controls for flet or stick with usual from Material design 3?

[bleak sentinel]

I think Flet is a wrapper around flutter.

[finite heron]

whats the best gui library? is it pyside6?

[acoustic quail]

Hello i am building a bunch of CLI app but i would like to keep it under one uv project

whats the best way to go about this

[hybrid axle]

I've been learning Python for 6 months and recently started learning about the Kivy library for mobile apps. What do you think of the library? And any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[shut marsh]

if you're willing to, use pygame, its not simple to, but you can customize the screen way more, considering you control everything, your choice tho

[crystal tusk]

Hot take PySide6

Any Suggestions (except fixing the frame)?

[nocturne mural]

i would move the next button upwards, nearer to the password boxes, right now theres alot of empty space

and you can make the inputs boxes bigger, the visible toggle should be for both as well (assuming both are shown as dots)

[crystal tusk]

ok Thanks, one question how do i ignore hidden objects in the layout size

it looked like this before

[random flame]

what libary do you use?

[nocturne mural]

Pyside6

[random flame]

ooo, i mean its great but for a diary app i think ctk is a better choice

[crystal tusk]

Na, use pyside6-designer for ui structuring and you have a very professional ui

[crystal tusk]

self.widgets_to_hide_size_policies = []
self.widgets_to_hide_visible = []
self.widgets_to_hide_maxsize = []
for wd in self.widgets_to_hide:
    self.widgets_to_hide_size_policies.append(wd.sizePolicy())
    self.widgets_to_hide_visible.append(wd.isVisible())
    self.widgets_to_hide_maxsize.append(wd.maximumSize())
    wd.setMaximumSize(0, 0)
    wd.hide()
    wd.setFixedSize(0, 0)
    wd.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Ignored, QSizePolicy.Ignored)
self.master.window.layout().update()```  what

what am i doing wrong

[hidden reef]

damn pyside really looks more modernistic

[hidden reef]

yeah great idea

[sleek hollow]

that should happen automatically. Can you show the difference in your layout with and without the widgets?

You also might want to look into QFormLayout for doing this layout

[north crow]

wdyt about NiceGUI?

[cursive bay]

Try out Flet library, it's even more mind-blowing

It's probably the best python UI library

[candid fern]

Anyone with TK enter experience some what do you like to do when you're writing the program?

[autumn grove]

qt is anchient, and very unwelcoming for begginers. try flet instead(btw, works even on mobile)

[hushed hinge]

flet seems hard

I'm using pyqt6 been very great

[hidden reef]

yeahhh butt its prety annoying to switch libraries after uve got comfy with onee

[autumn grove]

Just try flet. You are gonna love it. Especially if you want to create web apps/mobile apps

[candid fern]

In TK intern is it possible to draw lines outside of the canvas so it could be placed as a way of denoting functions or even help buttons are supposed to function

[somber hemlock]

how has your experience been with streamlit? personally it was a pita

damn last message was a frikin 3 days ago??

[cedar garnet]

anyone knows how this idea progressed in 15 years?
https://www.gnu.org/software/pythonwebkit/

not necessarily for webkit, but blink or gecko or any other html engine

[dire barn]

Are you aware of PyScript?

[cedar garnet]

yes but that is something else

with pyscript you write python that gets converted into javascript

in browser

what I need is a webview control to use in a desktop app without javascript or a server

[dire barn]

Not exactly AFAIU (it gets interpreted by CPython compiled into WASM), but okay, I see what you mean.

[cedar garnet]

I'm not intimately familiar with pyscript, I'll check it out right now maybe it solves other problems, but it's not what I'm talking about

I want to manipulate the dom directly with python in a desktop app

just like I can do now witk ttk or gtk4 widgets

without javascript or a http server being involved in any way

[forest cloud]

iirc pywebview had DOM bindings. It may be what you seek

[sullen stump]

Hi everyone!

I have been working with pygame and tkinter for a while now.

Using Pygame, I have managed to make a music player and general use window.

Using tkinter, I have managed to make transparent windows (think like a JARVIS-style UI).

I have a show coming up in July and I need sound effects. When I have them, should I use Pygame or Tkinter for to organise buttons (not physical buttons) for the sound effects?

[sleek hollow]

Shouldn't matter too much. I'd say just use what you're more comfortable with.

[sullen stump]

Are there many differences between the two e.g. ease of use or ability to play sound better?

[cedar garnet]

Thanks Trifonius. It has DOM bindings but it still uses javascript and a webserver. In this case I prefer using webkit2 from gtk4 directly.
I'm not afraid to use a web server and javascript when it makes sense.
I'm just looking for a way to make interfaces for desktop applications with html elements instead of using ttk or gtk widgets.

[spring pewter]

was learnign how to seperate kivy files and i ended with this minisculine of an icon

actual file of the icon

please someone tell how to fix this

[strong zenith]

haven't worked with any of this, but I'd start by making sure the original icon doesn't have a massive amount of space around it (as that image file implies it does)

you want this

[frosty vale]

Is user interface design is a subset of user interaction design

[static cove]

It's certainly part of the consideration

[tropic wave]

well well well

if it isnt you

You tried to put a keylogger it failed, because oyu were using ai

<@&831776746206265384>

I can bring up more proof if you guys want

He tried to put a keylogger on multiple people

[sleek hollow]

Don't dox people here even if they wronged you. If you have an issue with another user, send a message to @atomic obsidian. I've removed your post

[tropic wave]

No that was proof

He is trying to get other people hacked

I didnt try to dox him?

[charred flint]

I want to add another navigation bar. I suck at UI design so i do ask for ai to generate some ideas and i search on the internet too and i pick off each element and try to put in my single file if i like it.
I find that you can combine breadcrumbs bar with navigation bar but i dont like that, is there any other way to add a navigation without cluttering the top part

[cedar garnet]

Start from a navbar you feel it's close to what you want and add / delete (and change the font / sizes / spaces / colors) until you are happy.
Remember that not everyone is the same, what's clutter to you may be efficiency to other.
And after a time what seemed like too much may become just right because familiarity.
So maybe add a way to customize the navbar.
The second example looks fine to me. Is there something you don't like?
In the first example the breadcrumbs bar seems redundant.

[charred flint]

I improved my design since that to this

I dont hate breadcrumbs bar but not sure if it is good to have or not

Breadcrumbs feel unecessary because of the file system on the left that should convey such information

[cedar garnet]

It depends on the workflow and other informations on screen, you can't really give a general answer.
I would track its usage if it's important to you and/or I'd make it optional and I'd consider feedback from other users.

[charred flint]

make sense, personally i never use breadcrumbs like ever in other apps so thats why i dont feel its great thing but its per other people recommendation but the recommendation was in explorer type of file system and not this tree

[cedar garnet]

I find it useful because I instantly see where I am and I can easily go up in the tree.

[charred flint]

I see, thanks for help

[charred flint]

Anyone can provide me with useful information how things goes in ui. Sorry in advanced for not great questions but i dont know how to ask. Im making my first software and im not sure how its done, if i want to be able to have different styling how it would be done. Like i image the icons, some other advanced elements in ui must be images and it would make sense that other things like boxes, text or lines is just parameters ang generated programmatically. Any help is appreciated

[candid fern]

Anyone know how to add a live graph using mapplotlib to then add it to TKinter

[stuck bane]

eh

simple gui with tkinter (im a beginner with user interfaces)

[raw nebula]

# Login
from getpass import getpass
username = input("Enter your username: ").strip()
if username == 'vladgsandu':
    password = getpass("Enter your password: ").strip()
    if password == "password456":
        print(f"Welcome back, {username}.")
    else:
        print("Wrong password.")

else:
    print("Username doesn't exist.")

@left badger do I put this in a for or while loop?

Any feedback on the UI

(colours are changeable and default are greyshades)

[modest knoll]

the ui is not good if you are trying to make it production , for your personal use it just need a little bit of improvments

start by doing these ( if for personal use ) :

• make the password text near the input and make it smaller

• make the sapce smaller btw the login button and input

• change color if you really need purple ( or whatever color that is for me it is purple ) for bg then go for a lighter tone of purple and add soft shadows

• the corner radius of input is not matching the card or container corner radius make it same or similar

hello

how do i set a size on grids?

[chilly pilot]

[digital rose]

@rotund flax
Right

[digital rose]

Wut @digital rose ?

[slow isle]

if i use wxpython do i need to know any certain things because right now i only know print input exit() and i think thats literally it lmao

[digital rose]

yes just learn as much as you can

[slow isle]

that doesnt help like at all tho

obviously im learning as much as i can anyway

but what do i need specifically?

[digital rose]

google my boi

google

[slow isle]

well im googling stuff but im asking here because ill get a clearer answer than google

[winter flower]

your answer that you only know print input exit is a bit the opposite

Try to work on a small project that consists of using that library, and then you'll get what functions you will need in the future

that is the answer always, apply what you are learning. Before you grasp a certain degree, google is your best friend

oh he's no longer in the server 💔

[glossy sedge]

@tardy pine If all you knwo how to do is print and exit an application then i would suggest that you learn more before going the gui application route

unless ofcourse you can program in another language in whcih case you may be able to pickup python quickly

@winter flower hmm would be nice if the nickcompletion showed whether a user was offline or not

[honest torrent]

Suggestions?

[digital rose]

What does that text?

[honest torrent]

that text is a place holder, I replaced it with the Text widget, and have it disabled, so People can copy the text, but not write to it

[digital rose]

Does anyone know how I can create a program similar to paint with python?

ignore my pfp btw it was just for a prank

[digital rose]

@digital rose again

im gonna say it

pygame

use that module

[digital rose]

Oh ok

[floral kettle]

For basic stuff like that pyqt would be fine. Pygame would take extra time to create gui elems out of

[honest torrent]

you could use PIL also, hook it up to tkinter

[tough kayak]

if i want to get into python guis, what should i start with?

[fallen oxide]

Assuming you've already mastered the basics, you could look at various UI toolkits

python comes with tkinter, but PyQt and PySide provide something more modern

there's also GTK bindings I think

[tough kayak]

what is your personal recommandation?

[fallen oxide]

Either PyQt or PySide

They're both bindings for Qt but they have their own advantages

Gotta head, sorry, need to walk home. o/

[tough kayak]

thanks for your help ^^

[visual crypt]

I'd recommend PyQt, i feel like it's the best....but that's just a guess cause i've never used any of the others. lol.

[chilly pilot]

I love PyGTK. (I've also never used anything else except TKinter). It's hard to get into, but easy once you get the hang of it and pretty customizable with fabulous cross-platform support.

[fallen oxide]

@chilly pilot I largely don't recommend GTK for a variety of reasons

the GTK project is very opinionated, the developers only see it as relevant in the context of the GNOME desktop

they often break things like theming as well

[peak crater]

I’m working with Pyglet, and I have a texture file for the game. The texture file was limited to 256x256, and I needed more room, so I expanded it to 384x384 to add more textures. This broke all of the textures for the program. Is there a work around? (Reposted, I put it in the wrong channel before)

[quasi crystal]

What pyglet version are you using? There was a recent change to allow bigger textures in 1.3.0. https://bitbucket.org/pyglet/pyglet/src/14afb5a0054d28c60be0613eb74150be9ff9fad2/RELEASE_NOTES?at=pyglet-1.3-maintenance&fileviewer=file-view-default

[peak crater]

@quasi crystal I'm using version 1.2.4, I'll update and see if that fixes it, thanks 😃

Same error, unfortunately

^ <@&267630620367257601> (Sorry if I'm not supposed to tag the entire group)

If you'd like to see my texture code and the image, let me know 🙂

[rotund flax]

Show code would be best guess

@peak crater Upload it here https://hastebin.josephbanks.me/

[honest torrent]

I mean, I guess you can

[peak crater]

@rotund flax https://hastebin.josephbanks.me/ahitovidah.py and the blocks.png is https://imgur.com/a/KqK9m

[rotund flax]

and what isn't working properely

[peak crater]

It's a sandbox game, like a less advanced Minecraft, and the blocks don't get the proper textures. This is what it now looks like: http://prntscr.com/gzzn71

The stone/grass/sand mixture should just be grass, the leaves should be water, and netherrack-looking thing should be logs, and the black above the netherrack-thing should be leaves

The proper blocks are there, just the textures aren't working

I just sent the part that I assume is causing the trouble, but I can send the full thing if you want (~1.3k lines)

I'm also running Pyglet-1.3.0rc1 now

[fallen oxide]

It looks like you're using a spritesheet with bad offsets

[peak crater]

How would I fix the offsets? (I’m pretty new to python, just messing around with a fork of another project)

[fallen oxide]

That depends entirely on your implementation

[peak crater]

This is the original project, I haven't changed any rendering, just generation and added some blocks: https://github.com/fogleman/Minecraft/blob/master/main.py

[quasi crystal]

@peak crater Your problem is that the original code takes for granted that the original image contains a grid of 4 X 4 sub-textures. This is found on line 53, where the kwargs n=4 indicates how many sub-textures on can find on the original image.
As it's taking a square by default, you could potentially adapt slighty the code. Your new image is a 6 X 6 grid. So calling on lines 67, 68, 69 tex_coord(*top, n=6), etc should solve your offset problem.

[peak crater]

Thank you, @quasi crystal 😃

I’ll test it out in a bit

[peak crater]

@quasi crystal I updated those lines, but I'm still having the same issue: http://prntscr.com/h0d202

def tex_coord(x, y, n=6):
    """ Return the bounding vertices of the texture square.

    """
    m = 1.0 / n
    dx = x * m
    dy = y * m
    return dx, dy, dx + m, dy, dx + m, dy + m, dx, dy + m


def tex_coords(top, bottom, side):
    """ Return a list of the texture squares for the top, bottom and side.

    """
    top = tex_coord(*top, n=6)
    bottom = tex_coord(*bottom, n=6)
    side = tex_coord(*side, n=6)
    result = []
    result.extend(top)
    result.extend(bottom)
    result.extend(side * 4)
    return result```

[quasi crystal]

Probably a typo when you copied the code, but there should be a star in front of top and bottom just like for side:
top = tex_coord(*top, n=6)

This assumes that your image is a perfect square of size 384x384 where each texture is a square of size 64x64.

[peak crater]

There are asterisks there, weird they didn’t copy

The image does show as 384x384 and Paint3D shows the textures as 64x64 😕

@quasi crystal

[quasi crystal]

Ok, found your problem. Your texture size is not a power of 2. It's not a problem in itself, of course. But Pyglet copies your 384x384 image in a 512x512 Texture. And obviously in such a texture, there are not 6 but 8 squares per sides. So just amend the code by changing n=8. You could as well increase the size of your image to 512x512 if you want.

[peak crater]

Makes sense, thanks, @quasi crystal! 😃

[polar olive]

Anyone familiar with PyQt5? Python crashes when creating a QImage with specific dimensions, specifically when I'm setting QImage's color table. Noticed it when I was rapidly creating qimages with increasing rows and columns (started with 512x512 and crashes at 721x721 for example, not the only one though). When the size was static or I only increased the number of pixel rows in qimage, I saw no crashes.

[fallen oxide]

You're not running out of memory, right?

[polar olive]

Nope

Created a 721x721 ndarray, turned it into qimage, turned it into qpixmap and showed it in label and it showed

But when I copy-pasted it to create a 720x720 before, it crashed before getting to qpixmap part, didn't happen when I did it with 719x720 -> 721x721

[fallen oxide]

sounds like a bug, honestly

Do you still get that with pyside?

[polar olive]

Have not tried pyside

i have the Frame and few buttons inside this frame (the childrens). Every button is extended ttk.Button with added "name" parameter. How can i get the button by using value of "name" parameter?

for example the Frame have name "mytab", the button have name "mybutton22"... i have the frame keeper "tab" variable
something like

btn.text="new text"```

anyone live?)

[fallen oxide]

Well that probably returns a list

Looks like it should

I don't know Tk but have you tried printing it?

I have to head off now but that's my best guess

[mint cave]

i can print it, but like objects with nummeric names.... i understand that i can iterate all and try to find target buttons but this look like bad way

i have in this frame 33*6 buttons and need only 66 every 6 and 7 buttons start from button[1] with step 6 (if ordering is saving from creating process)

[mint cave]

i found tkinter solve for my case... but worst then expected, and not crossplatform... linux have difference behavior

[slate mauve]

would anyone be able to link me to the basics of creating a GUI?

[rotund flax]

@slate mauve there are various libraries out there, for basic games with graphics you can look into pygame but for more utility based applications you can look into tkinter (that's what IDLE is coded in if you've ever used that), those are only two examples though there are a huge number of them. Personally I recommend Tkinter or Qt

[slate mauve]

Okay thanks

[mint cave]

@slate mauve tkinter have bad documentation , but it close to cross platform (win and linux code work close same way with little difference)
wxPython have good docs but code will not work on linux same as windows, the linux add new element on top the windows addon new element on back... z index....
tkinter(gui lib) and wxPython(gui lib) can be convert to exe --onefile --noconsole use pyinstaller without pain( linux too) for example ```bash
pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole myscript.py

PyQt can't be convert to onefile executable use simply pyinstaller command , and PyQt need to install the Qt and vsc (visual studio c++) compiller to every PC when planed to run PyQt result programm with gui buttons etc

few days ago i complete little programm for myself and try realise it on win linux use tkinter/wxPython...and compare in result. But no way to do it comfort at this moment... do gui programms on python3

the size of exe programms as result can look like
tkinter - 10mb (full functional same as wxPython)
wxPython - 18mb (full functional same as tkinter)
PyQt - 30mb (no functional code , just empty build, and after start the programm will crashed)

wxPython have same syntax for mouse scrolling for win linux, but tkinter need use different events ... windows/osx = <MouseWheel> , linux <Button-4> <Button-5>... etc

[fallen oxide]

If you're saying that about Qt then you just don't know how Qt works

Generally speaking, you don't want to bundle up everything into a single exe unless you're taking steps to not break the license of every component you used

But even then, you can simple include copies of the DLLs/SOs for the parts of Qt you used

However

You only really need to do this for Windows

On Mac and Linux you can usually rely on an existing system-installed Qt

As for WX, stop recommending it

WX is abandoned and has been for some time

It is not safe, it is not maintained, and you will trip over it

As for Tkinter, well, it comes with Python

It looks like shit unless you do some serious magic

On Linux, you can't guarantee that the Python available to the user includes it though

Another option is GTK, but I generally don't recommend that either since it can be a pain

It's worth noting also that Qt is good at adapting to the current system theme

So it looks like everything else

[mint cave]

and what if i need comfort portable exe programm?
the answer is ... Qt can NOT, but wx and tkinter can

[fallen oxide]

Qt can do it

Pretty much everything can

In contrast, Tk cannot

There is no way to include a part of the standard library

And it's fairly common to see people using copies of python without Tk

And if you're still seriously considering WX after what I said above, you should maybe not be doing this in the first place

[slate mauve]

Thank you @mint cave

[odd hamlet]

is there a way i can get the method stored in the command option of a tkinter Button widget?

@fallen oxide

[fallen oxide]

I didn't say I had an answer

:P

[odd hamlet]

oh

[fallen oxide]

I'm sure someone will, though

[mint cave]

@odd hamlet try this...

b = Button(text="click me", command=callback)
b.pack()

print b.cget("command")

from this http://effbot.org/zone/tkinter-callbacks.htm

[odd hamlet]

thank u very much

[mint cave]

test it... it can be fake)

not sure, but may be have few ways to do it... some thing like b=Button(...); print(b["command"]) ... or may be it just my distorted memory

[slate mauve]

What's the closest thing to QT that's free?

[fallen oxide]

That would be Qt

[slate mauve]

-.-

[fallen oxide]

What? It's free

[fallen oxide]

Yeah, for a commercial license

[slate mauve]

Wha?

[fallen oxide]

You're not selling your app, are you?

[slate mauve]

Nope

[fallen oxide]

Because then you can just use the free community open source license

[slate mauve]

Where? Haha Could you link me by any chance?

[fallen oxide]

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/opensourcelicense.html

[slate mauve]

Thanks!

Which ones should I need to make GUI's?

[fallen oxide]

You probably want Creator

It has this UI form builder thing

You don't need it but it's useful

[slate mauve]

okay

thanks

[slate mauve]

What do I do here?

[fallen oxide]

You don't actually want to use Qt Creator directly

It bundles a separate tool you can use for form design

i think it's called Qt Designer

What're you using, PyQt?

https://nikolak.com/pyqt-qt-designer-getting-started/

this may help you

[slate mauve]

Wha?

[fallen oxide]

Well, you're writing Qt GUIs so you have to be using some kind of python Qt library

there's PySide and PyQt, I think the latter is preferred

[slate mauve]

What's the difference?

[fallen oxide]

not sure, I don't really do GUI work

but you'll need one of them

[fallen oxide]

yeah

in C++

if you're going to be using C++, this isn't the right channel :P

[slate mauve]

No python

[fallen oxide]

OK, then maybe think about doing what I said

Get PyQt installed

it's not a trivial task on some machines unfortunately

ah, no, they provide wheels apparently

you should be fine to just pip install PyQt5

[slate mauve]

So I didn't need QtCreator?

[fallen oxide]

I already told you that you didn't need it, but it provides Qt Designer, which is nice for designing your forms

[slate mauve]

I am so confused

So how do I use the designer now?

[fallen oxide]

you just.. open the designer

it's literally called Qt Designer

after that, check the link I just gave you

also, you might find this helpful, http://www.thehackeruniversity.com/2014/01/23/pyqt5-beginner-tutorial/

[fallen oxide]

there's a pingback above the comments at the end for the second part if you find it useful

a quick google shows that they changed the installer

good job guys

apparently you have to choose it from the list of installables

although

you can check where it is you installed the Qt SDK

it should be in [your QtSDK path]\QtCreator\bin\designer.exe

[slate mauve]

I just deleted that!

😦

[slate mauve]

I cannot find the designer in that path @fallen oxide

[fallen oxide]

Alright, then you might have to grab it from the installer

Sorry, it's different from the Qt 4 setup I'm used to

You could skip it if you want and just use pyqt without it

You can still make forms, you just have to write the code yourself

[slate mauve]

So I cannot use a drag and drop?

[fallen oxide]

Sure, if you install Designer

[slate mauve]

How am I supposed to?? Haha

[fallen oxide]

Google says it's included in the installer but you have to select it for installation yourself

It'll be in the list somewhere

[slate mauve]

No I just checked

I'll just contact them

Thanks for your help

[fallen oxide]

Apparently it comes with some versions of pyqt???

Give me like 30 minutes to finish what I'm doing and get my meditation done and I'll try it myself

Anyone actually code their own UI in PyQt5? Looking for a bit of help reimplementing the closeEvent

Can't find any debuggers! Help

[honest torrent]

I doubt many people here read russian anyways 😛

[digital rose]

[balmy path]

heh

let me restart qt creator

[fallen oxide]

you don't want to use Qt Creator for PyQt

that's your first problem

[balmy path]

Ah

So i need to install PySide?

[fallen oxide]

just use a normal python IDE, like PyCharm

[honest torrent]

^^^

[fallen oxide]

you can use Qt Designer separately if you hate making classes for your forms

[balmy path]

Ye

RIP

[fallen oxide]

yeah, don't use pyside

use pyqt5

[balmy path]

Ok

I have pyQT5 installed

[fallen oxide]

well, you're ready to go, then

[balmy path]

But i can't get QT creator to work

[fallen oxide]

don't use qt creator

I think I just said that

Qt Creator is for C++

[balmy path]

I want use gui builder

[fallen oxide]

so, use Qt Designer separately

I also said that

[balmy path]

lel

[fallen oxide]

Find wherever you installed Creator

[balmy path]

i'm dumb

[fallen oxide]

there should be a designer.exe alongside it

[balmy path]

I thought that Creator is gui builder xD

[fallen oxide]

Creator is an all-in-one IDE for projects written in C++ that happen to be using Qt

[balmy path]

Does pyQT5 comes with Designer?

[fallen oxide]

Some distributions seem to, but I don't have it installed

let me install it real quick

[polar olive]

did u install pyqt5-tools?

[fallen oxide]

Oh, sorry, I got sidetracked

And now my PC is off

@polar olive is that on pypi?

[polar olive]

not sure

[fallen oxide]

That's where pip installs from

[polar olive]

pip had it

Yep, pypi has it and the description says it includes tools such as qt designer

[fallen oxide]

Great, there we go then

[serene spoke]

Who here is familiar with actually coding their UI with PyQt5?

[untold bobcat]

[polar olive]

Nope, only tried a bit of PyQt5

[vast kernel]

Hi all!

I'm looking for PySide2 documentation, has anyone seen it somewhere on the internet??

[fallen oxide]

@vast kernel there is no proper documentation yet as it's not a complete project

https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2_GettingStarted

that's all there is atm

but that won't help you

perhaps stick with PyQt5

[vast kernel]

err, I'm scripting plugins for autodesk's Maya 2017, and it's using pyside2

[fallen oxide]

I think the PySide 1 docs should be relatively accurate, but honestly I have no idea

you might have to read the source

[kindred cairn]

Are there any good docs/tutorials for getting started in PyQt5, been trying to style and create GUI's quickly through code just not doing it for me. I have CSS experience and from what i understand Styling it similiar to that. What is the limit on it though

Hey everyone Im trying to install pyqt5 but I need to install sip and im having some real trouble with it,

can someone help me?

[fallen oxide]

@echo lagoon What problems are these that you're having?

It's best to just list/ask instead of asking if someone can help

[echo lagoon]

so I tried pip3 install pyqt5

then this comes up Using cached PyQt5-5.8-5.8.0-cp34.cp35.cp36.cp37-abi3-macosx_10_6_intel.whl Collecting sip>=4.19.1 (from pyqt5) Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sip>=4.19.1 (from pyqt5) (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for sip>=4.19.1 (from pyqt5)

so I try to install sip

pip3 install sip

but Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sip (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for sip

and so Im not entirely sure where to go from here

[fallen oxide]

What do you get if you do python3 --version?

[echo lagoon]

3.4.3

[fallen oxide]

Too old

[echo lagoon]

how do I upgrade?

[fallen oxide]

You need 3.5 or later

Not sure, I don't have a mac

You might have to like

python36

Any luck?

@echo lagoon

[echo lagoon]

just restarted and yeah its 3.6.3 now!

Thanks man

[fallen oxide]

No problem

It should install fine now

You may also want pyqt5-tools if it'll install on a mac

[echo lagoon]

pip3 install pyqt5 worked fine,

Ill install the tools as well

[fallen oxide]

The tools include stuff like the ui compiler and Qt designer

Very useful

[echo lagoon]

how do I install the tools?

[fallen oxide]

With pip

[echo lagoon]

pip install pyqt5-tools?

[fallen oxide]

Yep

Or pip3

[echo lagoon]

pip3 install pyqt5-tools

No matching distribution found for pyqt5-tools```

[fallen oxide]

Might not be on Mac

Well, it's an optional anyway

Yeah, Windows only

Should've checked earlier, sorry

[echo lagoon]

ah okay thanks anyway

Ill look at the mac version 😃

[fallen oxide]

You should be fine without it

You'll just have to design your GUIs in code instead of qml :P

Okay so, once again.
Quick question: What would be the best librairy for desktop GUIs ? Looking to make a simple text editor with basic code highlighting

And please don't tell me Tkinter 😭

[rugged sinew]

it's not really a case of there being one library that's wildly superior to the others. they each have merits.

some swear by qt, others love gtk, nobody really likes tkinter but it appears to be quite useful if you need a highly modified look whereas qt is more of a standard native app look

you should probably look around a bit

do some window shopping

[vivid otter]

this is litterally why i'm asking for advice here

I don't know a lot of GUI librairies, and don't know their pros and cons, which is what i'd like to know of guys here

Qt

I dunno why people use anything else tbh

well aside from being lazy and using tkinter

but tkinter looks like shit

[rugged sinew]

tkinter can look very fancy.

it's just a huge pain in the ass to do

hello

i have a a button called admin_button with a command= admin

i want this admin button 2 create a new standart window

how can this be done?

<@&267630620367257601>

[rotund flax]

Please don't tag suppor for everything, they'll get to your question anyway, if you need urgent help or your question isn't answered after a while then you can

You need to make a new window inside the admin function

[tawny monolith]

ok ellix i wont do that again

so basically just any normal plain one will work? i see some people doing some random code 2 open it

[rotund flax]

You just need to make a new Tk window

[tawny monolith]

need some help

i made another window

in tkinter

i want 2 put a button it in

*in it

i tried the normal way and it creates it in the main menu window

any help?

admin_load=Button(text="Load Results",command="").place(x=180,y=150)```

[tawny monolith]

<@&267630620367257601>

its been 1hr :/

btw

when i click the button

[odd hamlet]

admin_load=Button(<your_tk_window_var_name>,text="Load results",commands="").place(x=180,y=150)

read the docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/tk.html

[tawny monolith]

half of the gui goes deafult colour

can yuo tell me

why half of my gui changes colour when i click a button?

[odd hamlet]

depends on what the button does

[tawny monolith]

it does this

[odd hamlet]

no i mean to which method it is bound

[digital rose]

✨ Level Up!! ✨

[DOM]gollumga just got to Level 2 - Memer Rank 1

[tawny monolith]

thats it

adnt he button

is a command=admin

any reason why?

[odd hamlet]

well prbly main_window() recreats parts of your gui

[tawny monolith]

any eroores?

[odd hamlet]

for example this line

 button_login=Button(text="Login",command=exit,bg="light grey").place(x=160,y=120)

makes no sense you get the return value of .place which is one

[tawny monolith]

?

[odd hamlet]

button_login will be None

as well as
button_signup
and button_admin
and button_exit

you dont need the var declaration in the following lines

label1=Label(text="Login Menu",fg="black",bg="light grey").place(x=180,y=10)
label2=Label(text="Username:",fg="black",bg="light grey").place(x=90,y=45)
label3=Label(text="Password:",fg="black",bg="light grey").place(x=90,y=90)
box_username=Entry(textvariable=username_entry).place(x=160,y=45)
box_password=Entry(textvariable=password_entry).place(x=160,y=90)
button_login=Button(text="Login",command=exit,bg="light grey").place(x=160,y=120)
button_signup=Button(text="Sign Up",command=exit,bg="light grey").place(x=235,y=120)
button_admin=Button(text="Admin Login",command=admin,bg="light grey").place(x=180,y=150)
button_exit=Button(text="Exit",command=exit,bg="light grey").place(x=10,y=170)
``` they will just contain None 
if you dont need a reference to the button replace for example
```Python
button_exit=Button(text="Exit",command=exit,bg="light grey").place(x=10,y=170)
#with 
Button(text="Exit",command=exit,bg="light grey").place(x=10,y=170)

if you need one replace stuff like

button_exit=Button(text="Exit",command=exit,bg="light grey").place(x=10,y=170)
#with 
button_exit = Button(text="Exit",command=exit,bg="light grey")
button_exitButton.place(x=10,y=170)

[tawny monolith]

but its in a place

ah i see

still does that stupid colour changing

[odd hamlet]

then its time for debugging

[tawny monolith]

self.root.destroy(root)```

it gives me an error self s not defined

what does this variable thingy even do?

ive watched SO MANy tutorials and i cant find any good clear ones

[tawny monolith]

need help

 admin_gui.configure(background="grey")
        button_read=Button(text="Read Data",command=read,bg="light grey")
        button_read.place(x=130,y=100)```

plain window, should have window

it got placed in the otehr window

any help?

<@&267630620367257601>

im basic at tkinter btw

[fallen oxide]

@tawny monolith You're gonna find that most of us don't know much about tkinter

Mostly because it's not very good

If you want to create GUIs in a way that people can help you with, it might be time to look at PyQt

[tawny monolith]

ik that

[fallen oxide]

Otherwise, feel free to slog on with Tk, but you may need to turn to Stack Overflow

[tawny monolith]

ok

[fallen oxide]

Anyway

From your code it looks like the button should be placed in the main window

You didn't specify your admin window for it

[tawny monolith]

hmm

idk how 2 do this hmmmmm

[fallen oxide]

Perhaps look at the API docs then

See if there's any way to give the button a different parent

[tawny monolith]

i dont know even soemof the basics of tkinter i need 2 go back

theres not good explanatio tutuprials you got any?

TypeError: object of type 'Toplevel' has no len()```

print("working")
        admin_gui = tk.Toplevel(root)
        admin_gui2=admin_gui.title("Admin Menu")```

whats wrong with this?

what no length?

btw @fallen oxide

i figured the button thing out

[night arrow]

What dou recommend PyQt for

or

py guis

wait

could a game be made from this?

[fallen oxide]

Qt does have a way to render graphics if that's what you mean

I can't say I can think of any serious games that use it, but you could

Don't forget how loose of an idea "games" are

You can make games with nothing but a terminal - don't forget Rogue

[odd hamlet]

@night arrow i think parts of albion online are implemented using qt at least it has a lot qt dlls

[night arrow]

Nice

How about compiling it - to an exe

[rugged sinew]

I can't believe it's called PyQt btw. it should obviously have been called QtPy

[placid sable]

Qt3.14

[finite sparrow]

Oh my god lemon you're right

[peak sonnet]

def disemvowel(string):
return filter(lambda :[x for x in string if x in 'aeuioy'],string)

wts wrong with it??

[fallen oxide]

Your lambda doesn't take an argument

Although once again you guys insist on making this harder than it has to be

[placid sable]

lemon's gonna hate that

[fallen oxide]

(also, Y isn't a vowel is it?)

[placid sable]

I used to be like 0u715

But then I saw the light

[peak sonnet]

lol thts so deep

[rugged sinew]

I like the name of the function though. disemvowel is hilarious.

[exotic cargo]

Can you actually make good gui's, all I've seen so far are basic ones (in terms of design) and that turtle thing which is kinda useless.

[fallen oxide]

Of course

[idle apex]

pyqt5 has been working wonders for me, other than the fact that i have no ability to understand the C++ documentation

[fallen oxide]

Yeah, that's the tricky part with these wrappers really

They pretty much just exist to clobber types for you

[honest torrent]

What's a GUI that you guys would suggest, that works on atleast windows and linux. And looks really nice.

[digital rose]

well I've heard of kivy and tkinter so look into those

[honest torrent]

I've used tkinter, I really don't like how it looks

[digital rose]

well

it depends on OS

or you can make design yourself

idk how to do the latter

[honest torrent]

Also, does it matter if my program is asynchrous, but the gui is synchrous

[cinder bison]

i havent used it but everyone seems to favour PyQt

[honest torrent]

This seems lgood: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Quamash/0.5.1

[fallen oxide]

Now that is a nice library

[honest torrent]

But I think I'll use tkinter, sorry

I can just have the gui in a thread

[fallen oxide]

You can do the same with Qt?

[honest torrent]

Qt is just more than I need

[cinder bison]

tkinter only works if its in the main thread

[fallen oxide]

Except now with this library you don't have to worry about keeping your threads synchronised

[cinder bison]

i tried tkinter and threading before and it needs to be the main thread

[honest torrent]

Really? It only works the in main thread?

Well that's a pain

Ug, Qt isn't in the standard library

[cinder bison]

yeah i tried to make a shitty discord gui using the api

[honest torrent]

And it seems pretty complicated

But I guess I'll give it a try

[fallen oxide]

It's big but it's not really harder than Tk

[honest torrent]

What version would you suggest?

Does it allow for the grid mechanic?

[fallen oxide]

The latest PyQt5

And yeah, of course it has grid layouts

I mean you probably don't want to just outright use one but it has them

[honest torrent]

Does the grid update when your expand the gui size?

[fallen oxide]

Eh? Of course, assuming you designed your window to use the extra space

I'm off to bed now, o/

[odd hamlet]

is there a way to put tkinter labels in the middle of a frame using the grid geometry manager?

[odd hamlet]

??????

[odd hamlet]

someone pls

[real dew]

What has a higher chance of getting someone's attention is tagging support

[fallen oxide]

except they can't do that

I saw the question, but I don't have an answer

[real dew]

oh, well... I'm sorry

Try asking in another channel where there is more talk going on?

[queen dagger]

hello all

[rotund flax]

hello

[rotund flax]

Ask your question

i'd like create animation like it but using label

possible?

[rotund flax]

I'm not sure how extensive tk is when it comes to animation

but you may be able to edit the x positions of labels

[queen dagger]

I just started in qt

I do not know the modules to do that normally without problem

[rotund flax]

Oh I thought you meant tk labels

sorry i'm really tired and confused

[queen dagger]

oh okay

i mean Qt

[rotund flax]

You could probably fadde things

[queen dagger]

how to do it ?

[rotund flax]

https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt/Fading and unfading a widget with a delay

[queen dagger]

and right-to-left movements

?

[rotund flax]

I'm not 100% sure on that one

[obsidian lance]

@digital rose at least because tk allow create one file exe... pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole script.py

and pyqt result will work only if qt installed on your pc. no qt == no pyqt. not portable, big size result file... but look better then tk, and more comfort in time of development

[fallen oxide]

@obsidian lance You can do that with Qt as well

You just have to include the DLLs or SOs depending on your platform

[obsidian lance]

i can't because i know only "pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole script.py" syntax... your way need additional shamanic dance. May be its normal but it additional resistance

[fallen oxide]

It is normal, yeah

I'm pretty sure your method will only work with a single script file even

Most python projects have way more than one file
