id like to try some gui programming in python and was wondering which library would be best to start with
i read that tinker is the goto but when i recall the time back when i was on the job hunt i read "Qt/Qt-framework" a lot in vacancies so maybe PyQt would be more beneficial
any recommendations?

#

(no special application in mind, id just go through some tuts i guess to get familiar with gui programming)

crude sparrow Nov 29, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

@waxen needle PySimpleGUI is a great way to start with GUI programming

#

http://www.PySimpleGUI.org

PySimpleGUI

None

#

You can run it using either tkinter or Qt. They both have all the basic GUI widgets. The Qt version, PySimpleGUIQt, has some additional widgets like a dial, menu button, system tray.

I can promise you'll have a GUI on your screen in under 10 minutes. pip install, copy a recipe from the Cookbook and run.

for your next GUI, give it a try. Some people are saying it took them an afternoon what they thought would take a week

It's really "simple"

but has massive depth

Well, it's certainly going to be my next project for the next day or so (playing around with it)

#

Part of me isn't sold on how elements are added to a window, though. The crap tons of lists feels kind of messy looking, although I don't doubt it's intuitive.

crude sparrow Nov 29, 2018, 4:03 PM

#

The lists represent the GUI window.

#

A "list" of elements represents a "row" in your GUI

#

A list of those lists is a window

#

There are

#

"container" elements like columns and labelled frames that make almost any layout possible

#

I'll be happy to help

#

Using PyCharm makes it downright trivial.

#

You write a widget and you see all of the ways to configure it in a single line of parameters

#

Text - size, background color, text color, font, ....

#

all on one line of code

twin warren Nov 29, 2018, 4:06 PM

#

Hmmm
Now you've piqued my interest.

crude sparrow Nov 29, 2018, 4:06 PM

#

That line of code equates to probably 25 lines of Qt code that I execute on your behalkf

#

behalf

#

You need an IDE to really appreciate it

#

ControlP is your friend

#

I make all the same Qt calls that someone programmiing in Qt would be making

#

It's a code generator simiilar to the Qt Designer

wraith forge Nov 29, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

Okay yeah, that makes it easier to visualize now

crude sparrow Nov 29, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

except the user never sees any Qt code

#

it's a visual representation of your window

wraith forge Nov 29, 2018, 4:07 PM

So is this your creation or are you just an advocate for it?

crude sparrow Nov 29, 2018, 4:07 PM

crude sparrow Nov 29, 2018, 4:08 PM

You can trivially do stuff like have a slider control a dial

crude sparrow Nov 29, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

if you've done any GUI work in other frameworks, I'm willing to bet bitcoin you'll like it

#

I don't have any bitcoin, but I'm not going to need any 😉

twin warren Nov 29, 2018, 4:09 PM

$3000 is a lot of money to place on a bet like that...

crude sparrow Nov 29, 2018, 4:09 PM

I would take the bet

The reaction is very rarely negative once someone uses it

Having a bit of a problem with Kivy; I'm trying to make a dropdown for a screen, but it won't seem to set the width of it. Can anybody help?

Python: https://ghostbin.com/paste/xt2e4

Kivy: https://ghostbin.com/paste/heg58
The arg size_hint doesn't seem to work, if I set it this way, the dropdown just never appears
The dropdown for the file button works tho

near lagoon Nov 30, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

@frosty ermine First of all, you're re-creating the dropdown widgets with contents every time you open them. I don't think you want that, perhaps instead create them once when login is confirmed, and then just open with edit/file button?

Regarding the sizes, the dropdown needs size_hint_y on the child widgets to be None according to docs (you're using 0.1 in the "open a file..." case. Put None there and you should see something at least). And to change width, there's a default setting of auto_width = True that you'll want to disable.

I suggest you take a few looks at https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.uix.dropdown.html, and perhaps try building the dropdown separately in a standalone test app before you integrate it into the rest of the project.

frosty ermine Nov 30, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

Okay, thanks @near lagoon! Just to ask tho, how can I make it when login is down, and it appears everytime they click the button?

#

Thanks for all this btw

near lagoon Nov 30, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

I keep rewriting this, going way too much in-depth. In your kv file, what you want to happen when Edit is pressed is this:

on_press: editdropdown.open()``` So it's just calling the `open` method on the dropdown widget. To create it, I suppose the clean way is to make a separate widget for it and then just declare it in your kv file somehow. I'll see if I can whip up an example, haven't done dropdowns >_>

frosty ermine Nov 30, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

Okay, thanks

near lagoon Nov 30, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

@frosty ermine Sorry for taking so long! Dropdowns are new to me too and they were weirder than I thought 😄 Finally got a working example though: https://paste.pydis.com/avulocorah.py I recommend you play around with it, or make a similar small example yourself, and see how it works.

I chose to define the structure of the dropdown in kv lang, you don't have to do it that way but I find it clearer. Then what I did was to create the dropdown widget as the screen initializes, and save it as an attribute of the screen. The edit button can then open it with root.editdrop.open(self) when pressed (notice the self there, didn't realize that was needed but it was)

@crude sparrow Literally just started learning Qt Designer last night... but I'm already on PySide2 and don't want to downgrade 😦

#

ah, the reddit guy said no PySide2 yet, but your site says PySide2. that's encouraging.

Hey guys I'm trying to create a custom widget, I was told I need to use a layout for it to be visible so I am just using QVBoxLayout, although the layout just creates padding I don't want to use, I would be content with a widget I can specify the geometry for

class InstanceCard(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent, instance_name: str='instance3'):
        super().__init__(parent)

        self.setLayout(layout)

                                 200)
        self.topCard.setStyleSheet(topSS)

        self.btmCard = QLabel(self)
        self.btmCard.setGeometry(0, 0,
                                 widgetStackWidth,

        self.instanceLbl.setFont(ubuntu(14))
        self.instanceLbl.setGeometry(10, 10, self.instanceLbl.width(), self.instanceLbl.height())


        layout.addWidget(self.topCard)
        layout.addWidget(self.btmCard)
        layout.addWidget(self.instanceLbl)
        self.show()

Is there a different layout I should be using? A different approach I should take? thanks blobdoggothumbsup

Anyone know a good way to implement a toast message inside of a PyQt or PySide app?

crude sparrow Dec 1, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

I can do it using PySimpleGUI. I just added the capablity. You can look in the code to see how it's done

#

You need to create a system tray icon and do it through that

I'm looking to have the toast happen inside of the app, not outside.

You still need an icon in the try as far as I know

Create one and then use it to show the message

It should work, but I was struggling a bit with sizing it

Can't hurt to try.

Do I have to worry running pysimplegui and PySimpleGUIQt in the same env?

will be no issues

I run them both all the time

#

just switch the import statement and poof, you're done

#

I see the setting in tkinter, I'll add the capability

give me a few minutes

#

Another option is to create the table using Text elements or an input element. This will give you more size control. Working on the table now, but tkinter isn't behaving.

Would wraplength be possible for tables too? @crude sparrow

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

maybe... doesn't column size determine that? I've generally stayed away from that and put it onto the user to break up their text how they see fit

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

Or is it a default setting

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

I use whatever default is set by tkinter from what I recall

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

atleast max_col_width doesn't wrap

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

ah, I understand now

#

lemme look at it

#

Trying to get a release out and get your stuff onto it. If this looks likely to be a good feature I'll jam it into the release.

#

hmmmm... could be an issue

#

there is no 'wrap' for the table iself

#

I have to wrap the text myself

#

I dunno is I have all of the information needed to do that. I need to know the width of each column in characters

#

It looks like I can't do it automatically

#

I would have to do it in the same way the application would do it.... loop through the rows, loop through the columns, call wrap for each cell giving it the column width

#

That's how it works on tkinter at least

#

You said Qt sucked?

#

@fiery quarry what kind of table issues did you have with Qt?

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:23 PM

#

It just looked ugly on windows

#

with the same code that i used with the tkinter version

#

and it obv won't work with the brand new row_height :p

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

i originally started coding with autoit/AHK

#

and the gui in those is very simple

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

I wrote it for myself, so I kinda know what people are looking for as I was looking for it too

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

so yours is a godsend compared to the common solutions

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

yea, I don't understand, am completely baffled, why no one has presented a GUI in this manner

#

Qt could have easily provided an alternate "simple" version of their SDK

#

just to get people hooked

#

After all it's only 1 source file. How much work could that have been for them.

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

its supposed to be a python package

#

if i can print("hello")

#

i want as simple of a window

#

not writing a class with all that init and self stuff

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

you can sg.Print('Hello') and it'll print to a window 😃

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

exactly

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

even easier ...

#

yea, it's almost like they MADE it difficult when GUIs went OO

#

I think I've proven an non-OO model does work

#

and it works quite well

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

i even installed kivy

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Keep plugging at your project

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

now my env looks like a mess

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

I'm working on Kivy now

#

really? It's just a pip install

#

I'm working on PySimpleGUIKivy

#

it's up next instead of WxPython

#

You'll get past your problem on the OCR stuff.... have you posted anywhere?

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

i tried in the help channels

#

but noone was interested

#

i work with pycharm and pipenv

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

how about stackoverflow?

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

i have yet to post or create an account :<

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

I use pycharm with their built-in env on the Linux versions I'm running

#

on windows anaconda

#

Heck, try out stack overflow

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

oh for kivy i had to install stuff like this

#

python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew
python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer

#

https://kivy.org/doc/stable/installation/installation-windows.html

#

had to go through those steps first to get it working

#

install kivy already added so many different packages that I didn't think I'd have to manually add all those

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

Come to think of it, I had to do that too

#

I ran into a bunch of errors

#

On Linux it seemed to just work

#

just know it ain't you

#

if these were commercial packages and you were struggling, then yea, maybe have concern

#

but they're not. You're shooting in the dark. There's no one to call for tech support.

#

Just think how difficult it was before the internet

#

Last time I was coding there was no internet that had answers 😃

#

Email,Yahoo was the search engine of choice, or alta vista

#

Certainly no stack overflow

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

sometimes limited and curated info can be better than the surplus of the internet

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

Yea, true, but then again, I ported 90% of PySimpleGUIQt by using HowDoI, a stack overflow tool.

#

Rarely had to look at the APIs when other people had already done it and posted how

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

looking for more accurate tesseract alternatives.... Lite version of Asprise Python OCR is 5000$

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

Damn, pricey

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

it would be optimal if oneday you could ask the api and not shuffle through it

crude sparrow Dec 2, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

But, if you're building a product that's reasonable

#

Great... my docs are failing due to "timeout"

#

oops.. now it's back

fiery quarry Dec 2, 2018, 8:47 PM

#

I didn't think you could do that with tkinter, although maybe I did try this but gave up because the background of the widgets isn't the background image

I just noticed that and I think that's not possible to fix with tkinter. Qt it works correctly.

@pallid vapor I would get a Frame, pack the buttons into the Frame, then pack the frame into whatever you are currently putting the buttons into

pallid vapor Dec 4, 2018, 9:15 PM

#

@crude sparrow So what would be the approx. code for that?

crude sparrow Dec 4, 2018, 9:15 PM

#

Oh, I don't have sample code laying around. Try stuff out. You're packing now or using a grid?

#

Doesn't matter actually, you can mix I think

#

row_frame = tk.Frame(containing _frame)

#

button = tk.Button(row_frame, ...)

#

button.pack()

#

row_frame.pack()

#

I think something like that should work. It's what I'm basically doing in my code

Discovered you can shrink that layout definition by using a lambda to make a new Element...

    ImageButton = lambda key:sg.Button('', button_color=(background,background), image_filename=image_restart,
                                           image_size=(50, 50), image_subsample=2, border_width=0, key=key)

    # define layout of the rows
    layout= [[sg.Text('Media File Player',size=(17,1), font=("Helvetica", 25))],
             [sg.Text('', size=(15, 2), font=("Helvetica", 14), key='output')],
             [ImageButton(key='Restart Song'), sg.Text(' ' * 2),
              ImageButton(key='Pause'),
                                sg.Text(' ' * 2),

Can anyone tell me what is messing up my scrollbars in my listbox and other widgets with scrollbars?

#

you can see the scrollbar isn't quite right

📎 filtered_listbox.gif

#

I suspect that I'm screwing up the style sheet, but I'm not setting anything that deals with the scrollbar

crude sparrow Dec 8, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

Yea, I was right... style sheets....

#

What I want to do is be able to change things like the font, yet leave everything else alone

#

I've not been able to figure out how to get the "default" values that I can then modify

#

It's like an all or nothing

#

                style = element.QT_ListWidget.styleSheet()
                style += """QScrollBar:vertical {              
                            border: none;
                            background:lightgray;
                            width:15px;
                            margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
                        } """

#

That ended up being my fix... my hope was that I could get the default sheet by calling styleSheet() but it's returning a blank sheet

How can I create a web interface for a Python script/project?

I consider myself a beginner in Python and Web-Development. I have done some projects and have fair understanding of Python Scripts and web development using JS/React. I want to enter web development world (using Flask/Python). I don't have very good understanding of back-end development (limited understanding of servers). However, I have good understanding of Linux.

I have a Python script (implements Selenium). I want to create a "WebInterface" to interact with the script. It means I will run the script on a Linux machine and I want to create a website which will:

Plot values of objects inside script on the website i.e show the values of variables etc. on the website.
Stop/Start the script and control the flow of the script.
Add some codes in the script (like scrapping new websites).
The web-interface can be accessed from the internet.

Here is how I think this should be done:

The script will store/save the datapoints/values of objects/variables in a database.
I will create an api to access the database.
The website will be wrapped around the api.

I am not sure this is the ideal way, but I can't think of any other way.

So here are my questions:

The way I think it should be done requires me to run three different scripts (script, api, website). Is it ideal?
I want to do everything from my Linux machine(run script, serve api and website). Is it possible?
What are the different ways to approach what I want to achieve?

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:00 PM

@crude sparrow less than a week ago I told you not to use this channel to advertise, and now you try to post a link to your discord server in it?

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

is that a problem? I was talking to a person specifically about his question he asked me

#

and I thought it would be better to move offline

#

it was my attempt to do something good

#

Is that a bad thing?

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

of course it's a problem. it's doing the opposite of what you were told to do.

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

then delete it!

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

look, if you're not interested in following our rules, maybe you should find another server to hang out on.

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

Festive Doggo came in and asked me a specific question

#

I had no clue that was a rule

#

I thought it was like telling someone to go to a server to talk

#

I shouldn't have done that in the open?

#

I was a moron

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:06 PM

I don't care if you knew it was a rule, you agreed to our rules when you joined this community. if you don't know what they are, maybe you should read them again.

but that's not really my point, either

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

Did you read the conversation?

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

my point is that I told you last saturday specifically that you were a little too close to advertising for comfort. and you gave me some fucking snide answer where you put "advertising" in quotes.

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

I can't ask for feedback on a UI?

#

Oh geez... dude, I'm sorry if I broke some weird server rule

#

and that you mistook my intentions

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

I don't think I like your attitude very much.

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:08 PM

clearly

#

What was I supposed to do when asked a question?

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

who said anything about you answering a question

#

why would I have a problem with that

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

I dunno

#

I'm trying to figure it out

#

do I not sound surprised and confused?

#

I got no problem playing by rules and I really don't know what advertising I did after my scolding

#

clue me in

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

last saturday, some guy asked for help with pyqt, and you suggested they use pysimplegui instead. I warned you that this isn't really cool with us. you responded in an arrogant manner.

#

and just now

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

what did I do here in User-Interfaces that constituted advertising?

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:11 PM

which is even more of an advertisement.

rugged sinew Dec 13, 2018, 8:11 PM

you didn't know what - not to advertise after you had just been told?

nothing about server

what's the rule?

10. We do not allow advertisements for communities or commercial projects - Contact us directly if you want to discuss a partnership!

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

And where does it say posting a link to a server is advertising?

wraith forge Dec 13, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

This is first and foremost a learning server

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

isn't that subjective?

wraith forge Dec 13, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

Can I talk or are you going to interrupt me? I'm trying to explain it.

#

When someone comes into the channel asking for help on a particular library (tkinter, PyQt, PySide, etc.), the correct response isn't "That one sucks you should try this instead."

If someone is asking for options or alternatives to the more common UIs, that's when it would be appropriate to mention yours.

The first instance would be advertising, the second would be a suggestion.

crude sparrow Dec 13, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

I understand the initial infraction

#

I just had someone got a foot up my ass

#

For something that I see nowhere written

#

I'm kinda really ticked about that

Do you want to complain or do you want to work this out

@pallid vapor Thanks... gave me an idea of one use... I have a program that plots matplotlib plot and also shows the source code for the plot. Rather than showing them both on the same window, this Pane worked really well. In this case it's like a "tab" but without the tab being visible all the time.

#

It could perhaps be good with "side by side" video images, one being "processed" in some way, the other being plain.

I can't recall any Windows program that I regularly use having this kind of widget in it

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets

        self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget")
        self.pushButton = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralwidget)
        self.pushButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(330, 310, 75, 23))
        self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
        MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
        self.menubar = QtWidgets.QMenuBar(MainWindow)
        self.menubar.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 800, 21))
        self.menubar.setObjectName("menubar")
        MainWindow.setMenuBar(self.menubar)
        self.statusbar = QtWidgets.QStatusBar(MainWindow)
        self.statusbar.setObjectName("statusbar")
        MainWindow.setStatusBar(self.statusbar)

        self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
        QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)

    def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
        _translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate
        MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow"))
        self.pushButton.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Test"))




if __name__ == "__main__":

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    MainWindow = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_MainWindow()
    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)

which didn't work, so no clue where to put it

I got some objects in a QML view and when a particular state changes I need the z for that object to be above all other objects. When going back to the other stage the animations get handled, but the z gets immediately set to 0 again. Is there any non-dirty way to make the z go to zero after all the other animations have happened?
Ive got other objects with different properties, but with the same problem, how do I make sure a property gets set after all the animations have happened, and not before?

@fast silo Your button functionality would be held within its own function, and would be set using, for example: py button.clicked.connect(say_hello)

fast silo Dec 23, 2018, 3:06 PM

#

yea, I got that, I just don't know where I should place that

#

and the function say_hello

twin warren Dec 23, 2018, 3:07 PM

#

Place it in next to your button.
Your function can live anywhere, so long as it's within the class.

fast silo Dec 23, 2018, 3:08 PM

#

it doesn't work tho :/

#

it tells me that the function is not defined

twin warren Dec 23, 2018, 3:09 PM

#

Where are you placing the function?
Can you show me your connect line?

fast silo Dec 23, 2018, 3:09 PM

#

self.pushButton.clicked.connect(tester)

twin warren Dec 23, 2018, 3:09 PM

#

Is your function within your class?

fast silo Dec 23, 2018, 3:09 PM

#

yea

twin warren Dec 23, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.tester)

fast silo Dec 23, 2018, 3:11 PM

#

works, thanks a lot!

#

would I have to write my whole code inside that class then?

#

or how could I best use multiple modules

#

or files

Hi, how can I test the color of a click on tkinter (for example, check if the click is on orange)?

crude sparrow Dec 23, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

@fringe slate what are you clicking? Is it a canvas with an image of some kind that you are clicking? Or part of the window?

fringe slate Dec 23, 2018, 7:00 PM

#

it's a circle in a canvas

sage umbra Dec 23, 2018, 7:26 PM

Does anyone know how to override a close event in PyQt4? All I want to do is add a "Are you sure you want to close" window

crude sparrow Dec 23, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

@fringe slate I would think you'll need to get the x,y from the click on the canvas and then use that to determine where on the canvas is being clicked. Since you're drawing the canvas do you not have the ability to compute what's at a particular location? Can you query the canvas to determine pixel value at a location?

gentle rain Dec 23, 2018, 11:26 PM

When working with signals in PySide2, is there anyway to specify what part of the object to connect?

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
        self.page = QWebEnginePage()
        self.pageView = QWebEngineView()
        self.setCentralWidget(self.pageView)
        self.scriptLoader = scriptLoad.scriptLoader(self.page)
        self.pageView.load(QTRequests.get("https://www.google.com/"))
        self.setWindowTitle(self.pageView.url().url())
        self.pageView.page().urlChanged.connect(self.changeTitle)

    def changeTitle(self, url: QUrl):
        self.setWindowTitle(url.url())```

#

Currently im doing urlChanged.connect(func) which passes a QUrl object as func's parameters, I'm wondering if you can make it pass what is returned from QUrl.url() directly without using a lambda.

crude sparrow Dec 24, 2018, 12:39 AM

#

@sage umbra - by override do you mean ignore ?

#

In your closeEvent method of your QMainWindow class, you can call event.ignore() on the event that's passed in

sage umbra Dec 24, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

@crude sparrow I tried this but it doesnt work so idk

    def closeEvent(self,event):
        close = QtGui.QMessageBox.question(self.window,"Close The Window","Are you sure you would like close the window?\n"
                                            "Any unsaved data will be lost.",QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes | QtGui.QMessageBox.No)
        if close == QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes:
            event.accept()
        else:
            event.ignore()```

crude sparrow Dec 24, 2018, 1:11 PM

#

that's the technique that I use and it seem to work for me. Have you tried it without the messagebox to see if you can control the window?

#

        def closeEvent(self, event):
            if self.Window.DisableClose:
                event.ignore()
                return

#

I think you'll have to do your message box outside of this function.

Hey guys, got a question about PyQt5 loading bars. I've got a QDialog window setup with a progress bar in it and a couple of functions inside that class to calculate the precentage based off access to global variables. I'm able to display the progress bar window along with the Main window upon program execution, but I can't figure out how to call the function that handles the calculations and changing the value of the progress bar.

#

I know how to get a button to intereact with the progress bar, but not how to get a progress bar to pop up when the program initially opens, show the loading progress, and then close the dialog window

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:17 AM

#

def displayStartProgress(self):
    self.completed_list = []
    self.status_list = self.updateValues()

    while len(self.completed_list) < len(self.status_list):
        self.status_list = self.updateValues()
        for items in self.status_list:
            for key, value in items.items():
                if value["status"] == True and items not in self.completed_list:
                    print("Key: {} - Status: {}".format(key, value["status"]))
                    self.completed_list.append(items)
                    self.status_percentage = self.map(len(self.completed_list), 1, len(self.status_list), 1, 100)
                    self.progress_window_progress_bar.setProperty("value", self.status_percentage)
                    self.progress_window_label.setText("{} started".format(str(key)))

    self.end_time = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=+5)
    while datetime.datetime.now() < self.end_time:
        self.progress_window_label.setText("Startup Complete!")

#

Anyone know why the progress_window_label updates fine during the loading process, but won't display "Startup Complete!" after it's done?

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:23 AM

#

Do you know if the while loop ever executes?

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:23 AM

#

It does. I took out the print statements so this code wasn't messy

#

But yes, I put print statements in the while loop to verify

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:24 AM

#

Hmm, have an example I can run and test?

#

At a glance it looks all fine

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:26 AM

#

I think I'd have to copy the entire program for you to test it. I have several threads and global variable dependencies. Plus I'm updating the global variables from data I'm receiving over sockets to another computer.

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:26 AM

#

Hmm fair enough

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:27 AM

#

But yeah, I'm not sure why this isn't working either. The loading bar updates with the percentage and updates the labels from the dictionary just fine. It's just when it exits that one loop it doesn't want to update the label anymore.

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:27 AM

#

Do you think maybe something else overrides the text?

#

did you try printing that label's text right after you set it?

#

is it still the old value?

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:27 AM

#

Hmm, no I didn't try that. Good idea

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:28 AM

#

Also, did you try updating the label between the two loops?

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:28 AM

#

Yes. I tried setting it to blank before updating it to "Startup Complete!"

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:28 AM

#

Did it stay blank?

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:29 AM

#

I never actually saw it go blank. If it did, then it immediately went back to the last value before entering the second loop

#

Yeah, still not updating. I even created a new variable and placed the variable inside the setText function and printed out the variable.

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:33 AM

#

Don't know. Doesn't make sense to me

#

Maybe something from the outside is messing with it

#

Likely if you create a test program with this, it will work

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:35 AM

#

So I just realized that if I manually resize the window while it's in the "Startup Complete!" loop, then it displays the correct text...

#

But if I leave it alone, it's like the window doesn't refresh after it's done with the first loop

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

Try calling .adjustSize() on the label?

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

Is that just a self.label.adjustSize(x, y)?

sudden coral Dec 26, 2018, 1:40 AM

#

No, I do not believe it takes any arguments

#

It automatically adjusts to fit contents

thorny lichen Dec 26, 2018, 1:41 AM

#

That didn't work

#

I'm noticing there's also clipping sometimes on the text when it first comes up unless I resize the window

#

Can I call a window resize in the middle of the loop?

gentle rain Dec 26, 2018, 9:54 PM

#

Does anyone have example usage of setWindowFlags for a QMainWindow in PySide2, I can't figure out how to hide the window close, minimize, maximize buttons on MacOS.

crude sparrow Dec 26, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

flags = Qt.FramelessWindowHint
flags |= QtCore.Qt.Tool
qt_QMainWindow.setWindowFlags(flags)

That's what I do to hide the titlebar completely

Im unsure if this fits in this channel due to it being semi related to UIs but i've noticed that on macOS Mojave, PySide2/PyQT5 enjoys not rendering windows/widgets. Has anyone else experienced and fixed this issue?

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

@sudden coral , follow up to what you were trying to help me out with yesterday regarding the "Startup Complete!" text not updating in the label. So it turns out that that PyQt needs to be explicitly told to repaint if there's processing going on in the background. I'm not 100% the details behind how it works. but I found that if I add this after the sexText() call, then it works.

QtWidgets.QApplication.processEvents()

#

@final flicker Try this on the Pi:

sudo apt install python3-pyqt5

#

That's what I use to install everything I need for PyQt on the Pi

final flicker Dec 27, 2018, 1:45 AM

that will only install pyqt5 for system's python

Python 3.7.2

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 1:48 AM

They've already upgraded to 3.7.2 on the standard Pi image?

final flicker Dec 27, 2018, 1:48 AM

nope

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 1:49 AM

That's probably why you're getting the error

#

Did you pip install pyqt?

final flicker Dec 27, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

i have python3.5 and 3.7.2 installed

and pip3 was pointing to 3.5

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 1:51 AM

I bet if you open a python 3.5 interpreter and import it will work

now i used 3.7 but i just get a bunch of errors

#

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 1:53 AM

Hmm, try setting up a venv and then doing pip3 install. Otherwise I'd say you might wanna get rid of 3.7 and go back to 3.5

I've been running into similar issues with PyQt and 3.7 recently and I finally got it working after making a 3.7 venv and using pip install

#

yes. its already struggling

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 1:57 AM

You shouldn't see any performance hit just from using a virtual environment. If it can run PyQt normally, then a venv won't affect it

final flicker Dec 27, 2018, 1:59 AM

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 2:00 AM

You don't need PyQt to use sockets. Python has a standard library "socket" where you can use sockets.

#

yes

#

i use that?

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 2:01 AM

If you just want to use sockets, then import "socket" instead of "PyQt5"

you need to install ssl if you're building stuff from source, surprised you were able to install pyqt5 actually

they have nothing to do with the socket lib

thorny lichen Dec 27, 2018, 2:05 AM

Hmm, fair enough. Well yea, try setting up a venv and using pip install to install PyQt...I'm betting that the "system" version of python is still 3.5 on your Pi, despite you building 3.7

it doesnt scale with the maximize things

how do i do that

Has anyone else had issues with QT window hints not working(making windows just go invisible) on macOS Mojave?

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 5:57 PM

#

copying my question from #help-kiwi upon recommendation from another user:

this should be easy but I think I am overlooking something: the label_frame = tk.LabelFrame(..., width=80) (import tkinter as tk) takes an optional width parameter (cf. http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/labelframe.htm) but when I set a value nothing changes on a visual level? Calling print(label_frame["width"]) prints 80 to the console though, maybe I am missing something in the configuration of the widget?

we talked about how this could be related to the limitation of the window's proportion that widget is attached to but I think I can rule this clue out since the main Window self.master is at the moment not subject to any constraints with respect to height or width

crude sparrow Dec 27, 2018, 6:10 PM

#

@digital rose I too have been struggling with the width and height parameter for Frame and LabelFrame. I wasn't able to get tkinter to size the frame to the provided parameters.

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 6:12 PM

#

@crude sparrow so how did you deal when confronted with this situation? My GUI does look quite ugly when the labels and label frames all have different widths

crude sparrow Dec 27, 2018, 6:12 PM

#

I put a widget inside that I used as "padding".

#

It works evidently

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 6:13 PM

#

as far as tk.Labels() are concerned I have faced no complications when changing their dimensions, though

crude sparrow Dec 27, 2018, 6:14 PM

#

Put a blank label in there and you'll be able to size the width

#

I don't know if you can overlay a canvas but that may be another alternative

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 6:15 PM

#

yes this would work, but it's not a beautiful solution haha

crude sparrow Dec 27, 2018, 6:16 PM

I think I'll try the blank label method first

crude sparrow Dec 27, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

Yea, it works

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 7:20 PM

#

@crude sparrow I discovered that padx, pady options also can be set as a tuple: padx=(x-left, x-right) as integers. This way you can manipulate the dimension of the widget inside a label frame without adding any empty labels. It's not perfect but the best I could come up with

crude sparrow Dec 27, 2018, 7:21 PM

#

right... I use that kind of split-padding pretty heavily sometimes

#

The baseball UI was done that way

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 7:23 PM

#

still you have to rely on your eyesight to align label frames which yields no precise solution to this problem (what's the point of programming GUI's if you have to revert to something like that?)

crude sparrow Dec 27, 2018, 7:24 PM

#

I figure it only happens once

#

if it works, it works

#

good enough and I move on

true, I'm pretty new to tkinter so I really hope there will be not more of this kind

Hello everyone.. so I have a UI question I wanted to run by you guys.. tell me if what im doing is somehow being counter-intuitive or not

#

may take me a few mins to type it out.. but here it goes

#

Let me preface this by saying I am pretty new to programming. I am currently in a bootcamp that is specific for Python in NYC.. I know some people don't like bootcamps or whatever but so far im liking it.

my question however is a UI one.....So I'm currently using a mac - im using iTerm2 as my terminal. I use Zsh for my command. I have been trying to get good with Vim as a text editor. I have set up the syntax plugins/etc and am getting comfortable with using my terminal more to execute things.

I recently started using this logitech mouse that I used to use for gaming. I started binding keys to things like splitting panes in iTerm, as well as some commands for editing files within Vim.

Some people have told me to unplug my mouse all together and get used to using your terminal/tmux/zsh/vim etc all from your keyboard because it will help develop good practice. Should I follow that?.. or is me mapping everything i can think of to a hotkey on my mouse beneficial?

I wouldn't rely too much on the mouse, not to the point where not having it (it it breaks for instance) makes you useless. Keep your mouse but try to learn the shortcuts too, so the day you end up on a computer without your mouse, you're not too lost.

As far as I'm concerned, I only use the mouse for internet browsing, all the rest is done with the keyboard (i use i3 as window manager, termite as terminal emulator and vim as editor)

umbral sundial Dec 27, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

ok thanks @digital rose

#

any suggestion on a good in-terminal web browser?

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 9:04 PM

#

With all the js stuff going on nowadays, I'd say there are no really good ones...

umbral sundial Dec 27, 2018, 9:06 PM

#

hmm... meaning terminal not being able to handle all the new js?

#

i dont really need bells and whistles... just want to be able to parse through some text from a text based tutorial im using

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

Yeah terminals fail at it, and when you see that many websites even load their menu in js...

#

But you can try lynx

#

Or links2

umbral sundial Dec 27, 2018, 9:12 PM

#

ok cool thanks

digital rose Dec 27, 2018, 9:13 PM

#

Brow.sh is also great, maybe the most advanced right now

#

It should process js and css3...

#

You can try it by connecting to brow.sh using ssh, no Auth needed

#

ssh brow.sh

How does setWindowFlags() work on a subclass of QMainWindow in PySide2, whenever I to try keep my window on top of other windows using the window flag QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint the window goes invisible.

Here is an example of where I think I'm using it incorrectly:

Hi I have a table widget but im trying to make the columns go all the way till the end

#

also i had a general question, there is an application in C# its this sneaker bot

#

📎 unknown.png

#

im sort of trying to mimic it

#

im wondering what widget would mimic that representation

#

and it needs to have tasks added one by one

digital rose Dec 28, 2018, 2:12 PM

#

@astral lintel is that tkinter pyqt? Or something else? What r u using? If it’s tkinter I can probably can help you

astral lintel Dec 28, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

Pyqt @digital rose

#

Although I'm thinking of switching

#

I just need to make an application like the photo I sent

#

Not sure what library

#

The ID Retailer one I wanna mimic

digital rose Dec 28, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

@astral lintel oh. If you were using tkinter I would’ve said use list boxes. There must be something similar to a tkinter list box in pyqt. If there is just make columns with it and add stuff to the columns

crude sparrow Dec 28, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

@astral lintel due to the buttons on the end of the line I would think you have to create each row as a series of widgets versus a single widget for everything

astral lintel Dec 28, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

Hi when using a layout it allows all the widgets in your application to grow with that layout when you lay it out horizontally or vertically or such. But this causes the buttons and widgets to come in a premade layout

#

which i dont want

#

📎 unknown.png

#

i wanted three buttons at the top, and this tree widget at the bottom

#

the buttons would serve as buttons to take you to another window and the treewidget is for tasks im creating on my program

#

how do i make it where my buttons grow as the program grows but also so i can lay them out how i want it to

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 1:08 AM

I just learned a very cool fact for anyone doing Qt, if you edit the window flags, some of them require you to show() the window again.

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 6:25 PM

Hi, in tkinter when I implement the change event of a combox, it's possible to retrieve the new selected value with .get(0). However, I'd like to have access to the previous selection, too. Without passing this as a new argument, is there anything I can do to get the previous selected combobox entity?

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

I would probably try and save the last selected value in a variable and update it when you select a new one @digital rose

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 6:56 PM

#

@gentle rain that's actually what I'm trying right now haha

#

I'll store it as a property of an application because I have multiple comboboxes to keep track of

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

What are you working on if I may ask, sounds interesting! @digital rose

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

@gentle rain an desktop application to compute and visualize trajectories in vacuum w/o linear drag & quadratic drag (I asked my previous question because I am working on the unit conversion of the results which are displayed in entry widgets, the units are selectable in comboboxes)

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

Oh, that sounds very, very nice ngl

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

yes, I am learning a lot and it's actually a handy application once its finished 😄

#

@gentle rain do you happen to know how to update this information? I tried various approaches but it keeps the first value stored (I know why this happens, but not how to prevent this)

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 7:15 PM

#

Do you have a snippet of the part which updates the variable by any chance?

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 7:17 PM

#

that's the problem, I don't know how to update the variable. I stored it once, and that's it. But I have an idea, I'll be back in a minute

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 7:19 PM

#

Let me bring out the tkinter bible(effbot cookbook 😎) and lets see if we can figure this out

#

The issue with binding to the <ComboboxSelected> event is that it'll fire when the widget has already updated, which is most-likely why the variable will save as the newly selected one.

#

It wouldn't look too good, but you could bind the <Motion> event to update the last selected value whenever the mouse passes over the combobox widget.

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 7:28 PM

#

Yes, and I do want to have the new selected event as a target unit for conversion. That's fine. The issue is with

# code snippt gui
class Application(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.master.style = ttk.Style().theme_use('alt')
        self.master.title("Projectile Motion")
        self.master.resizable(0,0)
        self.ui()
        # fect previous user selection // failed
        self.previous_unit = self.scroll_point_of_impact.get()

#

scroll_point_of_impact is an alias for the tk.Combobox() widget which has a <<ComboboxSelected>> binding which is in charge of converting the tk.Entry() value

#

here are some outputs (as print statements lol):

convert!
old meter
new centimeter

convert!
old meter # should be centimeter
new decimeter

[Finished in 7.688s]

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

I'm messing with if statements atm, lets see if I can get this to save the last value lol

#

ok

#

i got something

#

lul

#

this isn't pretty at all

#

but it gets the job done GWaobaWink

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

I've also got a new idea, but let me hear yours first

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

let me make sure this works

#

real quick lol

#

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

tkwindow = tk.Tk()
tkwindow.rememberValue = {"currentSelected": None, "wasSelected": None} # dictionary so that we dont have two values

def check_cbox(event):
    if not tkwindow.rememberValue['currentSelected']:
        tkwindow.rememberValue['currentSelected'] = cbox.get() # First time setup
    else:
        tkwindow.rememberValue['wasSelected'] = tkwindow.rememberValue['currentSelected']
        tkwindow.rememberValue['currentSelected'] = cbox.get()
    print(tkwindow.rememberValue)

cbox = ttk.Combobox(tkwindow, values=['Celcius', 'Kelvin', 'Fahrenhiet'], state='readonly')
cbox.grid(column=0, row=0)

cbox.bind("<<ComboboxSelected>>", check_cbox) # calls check combobox whenever new selection.
tkwindow.mainloop()```

#

bam

#

That should save the last selected value of the combobox

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

cool, thanks

do you know if a binding accepts two commands, e.g. self.scroll_point_of_impact.bind("<<ComboboxSelected>>", self.convert, self.update)?

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

I have no idea, but I can try real quick

#

Doesn't seem as if it is, I would just make another function which calls both self.convert and self.update

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

that's seems to be the only way

gentle rain Dec 29, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Do you need an explanation on how the check_cbox function works in my example or do you understand, ik for some people an explanation is just as helpful as working code

digital rose Dec 29, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

@gentle rain OK IM A GENIUS I FOUND A REALLY EASY AND IN HINDSIGHT OBVIOUS WAY TO DO THIS HAHA

#

caps because excited lol

#

not really a genius though
