'button1 pressed' is a lot more general
But I do have an idea of using selectors
@window('#button1').on('press')
def callback(button):
...
@window('.cool_button').on('press')
def callback(button):
... #works for any "cool button"
Does this seem good, @sour prism
sour prism
Perfect!
If you can have decorators like that.
In fact, something like flask.
It does it quite well.
sand violet
You can
sand violet
Maybe
It reminds me of jquery
$('#button1').on('press', function (button) {
...
})
$('.cool-button').on('press', function (button) {
...
})
Yeah, that too.
sour prism
Yeah, definitely, but moreso everyone else!
Would be great if you did it, and, though I can't spare much time, I might chip in.
sand violet
It's (partially) working already
Not everything is done but a few things are
You can add buttons, text, columns, rows, etc

hey everyone 😅 so I'm trying to get into basic UI creation and I'm trying to create a dynamic visual tic tac toe using tkinter, but I'm having a bit of a problem gridding out the buttons. I'm trying to take user input i.e., 4 and then create a 4x4 grid on a window.
def board():
newWindow = Toplevel(root)
game_size = int(gamesize.get())
buttonlist = []
for i in range(game_size):
for j in range(game_size):
(buttonlist.append(Button(newWindow, text="button "+str(i+1),command=lambda: checker(Button))))
buttonlist[i].grid(row=i, column=j, sticky=N+S+E+W)
This is my current code

Bluh. Multithreading is hard.
Making an uploading UI and I'd like the main UI to be responsive while uploads happen, but after making a thread and using pubsub, it still ties up the current thread.
I'm using wxPython with pubsub. I made a class UploadThread that's a sub-class of Thread and it accepts a list of dicts containing items it needs to upload and various information to achieve it. It uses wx.CallAfter to advance to the next item in the list and communicates with Publisher.sendMessage to report on progress.
class UploadThread(Thread):
def __init__(self, photos):
Thread.__init__(self)
self.photos = photos
self.index = 0
self.start()
def run(self):
wx.CallAfter(self.upload_photo)
def upload_photo(self):
# Do some work, advance the index
Publisher.sendMessage("upload.progress", arg1=some_progress)
wx.CallAfter(self.upload_photo)
And there's a subscription somewhere that's supposed to update some UI (progess bar) but since the thread is tied up, it doesn't update and the system thinks it's become unresponsive.
And, yeah, I've coded in a path when it finishes processing the list
I'm gonna pack up my stuff. Last I checked it was 4PM and now it's 8PM, and I think it's time for me to head home. I'll be AFK for 30-40 mins and I'll check back.

layout = [
[
1,

],
UnsizedRow([
'A',
Entry('B'),
'C'
]),
[
'A',
'B'
]
]
This divides it into three rows
[1, 2] is a row with a '1' text widget and a '2' text widget
and both of them are columns that take up 50% of the row
UnsizedRow(['A', Entry('B'), 'C']) makes a row where all of the elements are right next to each other
it doesn't work as intended yet
['A', 'B'] is another row where 'A' and 'B' are equally spread apart
Tomorrow I'm going to fix UnsizedRow and add the ability to style widgets
Actually, before styling, I'll add events
@window('button#identity').on('click')
def callback(button):
pass
@window('button').on('click')
def callback(button):
if button.id == 'identity': #OR button.match('#identity')
pass
Still don't have a clue from last night's question: https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/338993628049571840/715366785297154121
Perhaps it's how I'm using the functions? I might need to look at some examples. Maybe even run a seperate process entirely and try to concieve a way to communicate effectively. The dict I'm giving to the thread already is not doing any strange referals so it could be given to the process.
Well, communication shouldn't be hard. Just 'Do this and give me progress'
Actually this might be nicer. Instead of multiple uploads at the same time, it'll be a pool so I don't cause timeouts if too many uploads are happening.
Actually it seems like some are getting wxPython to play nice with await and I could look at that.

Hello all, I'm pretty new with coding. Sorry for my broken terminology. Is there a favored way of packaging a python file into MacOS executable calls PyQt5 function (mainly QtWebEngine)? I used pyinstaller and used --window, everything works except anything that uses functions within QtWebEngine. I tried py2app, but it gives me a lot of errors that just seems like it doesn't like PyQt5.
When I try with --onefile, the app doesn't work. I can only get it "somewhat" working with --windowed.

i dont know if it works on mac but try auto py to exe
you can install it with pip install auto-py-to-exe
or whatever the pip is called on mac

Hello friends! How are you? I have a little lack of time and I needed someone's help.
I need a program with a simple Python interface with two views (user and operator), being an application for electric car charging machines, compatible with mobile phones or tablets.
The context is as follows: Electric car users need to charge their car. This application will handle the loading of all these users (which would not be many) in a small charging station in a building, so that there are no overload or low spikes. With a graphically constant curve of electrical energy. Also, the energy consumption of the building is linked to the consumption of cars on this curve.
The user arrives at the station (or in the application when he is already at the station) and enters the desired time of departure, the type of car, the desired level of charge in the car, name, mobile phone number, identification number and a function to pay (form of payment by debit or credit card). The program must make the best optimization so that all users have what they have requested of loading in the best possible way.
The system would have to save the customer's data in a database and present data specific to each car and its battery for better charging.
The building may also contain aid in the production of energy from renewable sources, such as solar panels, which would aid consumption.
The charge for charging afterwards is XX per KW / h. (Where XX must be changeable from time to time).
Can anybody help me? I would be very grateful..

Hey,
i need to make a project for my college where i have to use python or linux shell scripts.
The program shall be a slim file browser for command line. Similar to Midnight Commander. Therefor i can use termbox (python) or Whiptail (shell).
Users can interact with the keyboard to switch directorys.
The User can see important attributes like (Filename, Filesize, User Rights, Date of last time used).
Functions: Copying files, moving files, delete files and see their content.
I thank you really much for service and hope you can help me.
Where do i start?

Is Kivy difficult to learn?(For someone that hasn't made any serious apps etc)
rocky dragon
Shouldn't be too difficult, you'll want some oop knowledge etc.
unique spade
I find it a bit weird, but totally can get used to it
rocky dragon
You'll definitely want to use its kv language to get the most from it
compact flame
Ah okay, thanks all :)
unique spade
you can also try pyQT5
heard it's supported on android
and has QTdesigner
that you create UI in visual app and translate it to code
rocky dragon
Qt on android is going to be QtQuick
Which is basically like the kv language but with a js like syntax
unique spade
ah I see
rocky dragon
From what I tried the widgets they have are also very similiar, so I'd just stick to kivy as it's directly for python instead of a wrapper that needs to use some somewhat strange (in python) design patterns to communicate with the ui part

Anyone know any nice and easy user interface for pythong that can display images rapidly and handle basic input like clicking buttons and keyboard inputs and such? Not looking for anything super fancy just a quick and easy ui to play around with. Must work on windows (although I suppose as long as it is available for anaconda it will also work)
fathom crypt
PySimpleGUI is about as easy as it gets, not too sure about 'display images rapidly' but it runs off whatever library you specify (Qt/Tk etc)

Thanks, I will check it out! :)
The display images rapidly is because in the application today I got an video stream incoming from the network and this stream is coded as a bunch of jpeg images. Current impl is written in java but I want to rewrite using python because I hate working with java

Do I just do time.sleep() and then just set the amount of time to be rediculously long and then when I close it, it will stop that timer?
digital rose
yes it like that
import time
def fun():
# window.open()
time.sleep(2000) # miliseconds
window.close()
no neccessary you close, after 2 sec your window closes automatic.
rocky dragon
your window closes because the variables keeping it alive are dereferenced in python when the function exits
nothing linked to the window -> window gets garbage collected

yes @rocky dragon says best 😄

in kv it would be that yea.

Can anyone help me with some PyQt5? I was doing QFileDialog.getOpenFileName and it was working fine, but I switched to getOpenFileNames and now nothing else in the function works until I close the entire program.
My code:
def open_file_dialog(self):
file_names, _ = QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(self, 'Open file', config.input_directory)
print("TEST TEST TEST")
print(file_names)
print("done testing I guess, should be a list of files")
for file_name in file_names:
print("test test test " + file_name)
model = QtGui.QStandardItemModel()
self.file_list.setModel(model)
model.appendRow(QtGui.QStandardItem(file_name))
Nothing prints until I close the entire program.
I've only been doing Python for a few days so I suspect I've done something silly.
I fixed the overall problem which was it not adding to the QListView (something silly, knew it), although I'm still confused why it doesn't print as it goes?

I use Android and I use the Andronix application

Oh
Well im not really sure because linux using wine is really complicated as it does not perform correctly as expected.

I'm trying to make pyqt UI not close after I execute the script but it always closes even if it's with code 1 : / here's my code: https://paste.ofcode.org/gN7TzfZdZ3XencXkunmxfE
running function from lines 203-224:
def get_tab():
# 0: Change translations
# 1: Summernote
# 2: Add new
tab = self.tabWidget.currentIndex()
domain = self.comboBox.currentText()
if domain == "--Domain--":
wrong_domain()
else:
if tab == 0:
self.threadpool.start(change_translation())
print("Script execution finished")
if tab == 1:
self.threadpool.start(summernote())
print("Script execution finished")
if tab == 2:
self.threadpool.start(add_new())
print("Script execution finished")
it executes that script with
runpy.run_path(Paths.Translations_new_keys) but it finishes and UI is closed :c
unique spade
turns out that not running script with threading solved the issue
which is.... weird, cuz threading should be used so that doesn't happen

Hello friends may I ask if I can come here for help on programming? I am a beginner and I really hope to be able to get some help on the understanding of tkinter
Thank you so much
I want to be able to understand how do I make a simple application where I can navigate to different pages and the way to insert information into the app for users to see(text or images or videos ).

There are a couple of tkinter tutorials you can start with.
It shouldn't be too bad to google some of the more popular ones
keen terrace
Hello,
So my app is a timer that counts down from X to zero, then resets to Y and then counts down to zero again, and then it becomes X again. So generally it reminds me to do something for a few seconds, every few minutes. I'd like to toast notifications to do the same.
So if the first timer runs out, I'd like it to say "it's time to do that thing for a few seconds". When the timer runs out, it should say "ok, times up, you can get back to doing whatever you were doing". For the sake of testing, I've just written "test1" and "test2" to see when each notification appears.
It seems like I'm only able to show the first notification because I'm not sure how to place the second one inside the code.
Here is the code.
This is the app.
After 10 seconds, the next time that will appear will be of 5 seconds. When the 10 seconds timer is up, it shows the first notification test1. I want to add the test2 notification to the end of the second timer. I tried using itertools cycle and have each parameter just be a different toast notification, but as soon as I run the app, the notification appears, even though I'm not calling it yet.
Any help would be great 🙂
static cove
@keen terrace Do you still need help with this?
keen terrace
yes, please
static cove
So I don't think the itertools will get you what you want with functions. At least from my (limited) experience and with messing with it for a bit.
That initial iterToast = itertools.cycle("your toast notifications here") was bringing up the first notification. Even though you were cycling through that iterable object, I don't think it allows you to access the objects/functions that you're trying to iter through.
I was able to get it to work with a much simpler solution. I added a new variable: self.current_timer = 1
and then under the def timerTimeout(self): I added an if and elif that would execute the show_toast() based on the value of the self.current_timer and then immediately after show_toast() I updated the value of current_timer to the next one.
I've had it running for a few minutes and it seems fine. Let me know if the above isn't clear. I can just snippet my code if it's not.
keen terrace
If you could send the code that would be amazing
I understood that I can give up on itertools, I can accept any other solution really, I just didn't know any.
static cove
def timerTimeout(self):
self.time_left_int -= 1
if self.time_left_int == 0:
if self.current_timer == 1:
toaster.show_toast("test1", "test1", duration=3, threaded=True)
self.current_timer = 2
elif self.current_timer == 2:
toaster.show_toast("test2", "test2", duration=3, threaded=True)
self.current_timer = 1
self.time_left_int = next(TIME_CYCLER)
self.update_gui()
And then I just had to add self.current_timer = 1 under self_time_left_int = DURATION_INT way up when you're initializing the App Window
keen terrace
Looks like it actually works
even changing the variables seems stable
This is awesome! Thank you, but can you please try to explain to me what is changed?
so once self.time_left_int reach 0, if have another if self.current_timer = 1 why?
oh now that I wrote it I kinda understand, but wouldn't have thought about it myself
static cove
So all current_timer is doing is keeping track of which toast_notification you want to send.
keen terrace
it's as if I'd place a counter and just zero it out every 3rd loop?
like, if the counter is 1, show the first notification, but if it's 2, show the second one
and then change it to 1 again and then to 2 again
static cove
It just flips back and forth between two values, because I told it to. Yup!
keen terrace
this is smart! awesome, much appreciated!
static cove
Yeah no problem! I like the app and might implement it myself for a reminder to stretch
keen terrace
I'm now only left with learning how to minimize it
then I can add some cosmetics, icons and stuff and just publish it on Reddit or something 🙂

@keen terrace for the show_action.triggered.connect(self.show) and self.hide and app.quit, what functions are those calling? I'm struggling to find the specific documentation for those.
Instead of calling those (presumably) built-in functions, you could instead call your own functions that do the self.win.show() or the self.win.hide() in their own function code.

hey guys, so I'm trying to set an icon for my pyqt window but it won't work self.setWindowIcon(QtGui.QIcon("icon.png"))
The icon is shows inside of the app but not on the windows taskbar

for kivy is using .kv easier or using python?
@keen terrace idk about pyqt but isnt icon suposed to be .ico extension?

Supposed to work as png as well, i'll try a ico one

does it work with ico?

kv for structure, py for logic/anything complex

no, personally I run on device tests as well as code/adjustments with pydroid3, removes the need to compile an apk unless needed. There'd be minimal differences between pydroid3 & compiled apk in term of usage

On tk, is it possible to determine a button’s position?
young raptor
yes you can use .grid
let me show you a example
part_label = Label(frame5, text='Part Name')
part_label.grid(row=0, column=0)
or you can do .pack()
wanton vessel
But what if you used place?
young raptor
Button(frame4, text="text", command=hg_soft).pack()
wanton vessel
Like lets say I did
Button1 = Button(root, command=something)
Button1.place(x=10,y=10)
young raptor
.place
wanton vessel
Yea, like how would we fetch its position?
Like I wanna get button1’s position value of x and y
Cause I’m trying to do something that will make my button move after being clicked
young raptor
oh intresting
wanton vessel
And move back to its original position after being clicked again
You know, like how letters in bookworm game moves after being clicked
young raptor
ya
I understand what your saying but I never attempted that if I find something online about it I see if I can use it to help you
wanton vessel
Thanks @young raptor that would really help me alot
Heres the code that ive started btw
from tkinter import *
import string
import random
root = Tk()
root.geometry('400x400')
buttons = {}
def Enter(Value):
a=20
print(Value)
buttons[Value].place(x=a,y=150)
a+=20
upper = 0
lower = 0
values = ['',1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
letters = string.ascii_lowercase
a=100
b=300
for i in range(1,13):
x = random.randint(0,25)
if i > 6:
buttons[letters[x]] = Button(root, text = letters[x],command=lambda val=letters[x]:Enter(val))
buttons[letters[x]].place(x=a,y=b)
upper+=1
else:
buttons[letters[x]] = Button(root, text = letters[x],command=lambda val=letters[x]:Enter(val))
buttons[letters[x]].place(x=a,y=b)
lower+=1
a+=20
mainloop()
still not functioning well tho
young raptor
ok
wanton vessel
I've only managed to put them in one place after being clicked 😂
young raptor
oh ya I see
I just ran it
maybe on click it can give a value to the system and depending on the value it can go to a certain location if thats possible but I dont know alot about how to make it random
im not to sure about this but you can try
oh wait I just looked into the code are you already doing that
wanton vessel
yes
young raptor
dang it
hmm
its kind of moving when I test it but not much
maybe you do have it down but its not moving far enough
wanton vessel
its going at the top right when clicked
wanton vessel
the problem why its staying on the same position when clicked is because of how a is always declared 20 when being clicked
wanton vessel
I want it to be 40 on the next click
number = 20
def Enter(Value):
global number
print(Value)
buttons[Value].place(x=a,y=150)
number+=20
Ugghhh i dont even know how to change that global variable's value permanently
young raptor
what do you mean by you cant change it?
I think it only randomizes one value and aplies it to everything
wanton vessel
no matter how many times Enter function gets called, its x position will always be 20
young raptor
you can to set 1 deffrent value per letter
and call randit more then once
per letter maybe
becasue it selects 1 random value and applies it to eveything
so you need to have more then one letter and if like for example x is less then like 6 go to this spot
wanton vessel
this actually worked
from tkinter import *
import string
import random
root = Tk()
root.geometry('400x400')
buttons = {}
m=20
def Enter(Value):
global m
print(Value)
buttons[Value].place(x=m,y=150)
m+=20
upper = 0
lower = 0
values = ['',1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
letters = string.ascii_lowercase
a=100
b=300
for i in range(1,13):
x = random.randint(0,25)
if i > 6:
buttons[letters[x]] = Button(root, text = letters[x],command=lambda val=letters[x]:Enter(val))
buttons[letters[x]].place(x=a,y=b)
upper+=1
else:
buttons[letters[x]] = Button(root, text = letters[x],command=lambda val=letters[x]:Enter(val))
buttons[letters[x]].place(x=a,y=b)
lower+=1
a+=20
mainloop()
in a weird way
young raptor
oof ill be back
young raptor
im back
hey
I did a thing
I dont think it was what you were looking for but it is random
wanton vessel
what is it?
young raptor
uh
ill show you a video
its a random order it starts in but not what you were looking for
young raptor
oh nice
wanton vessel
winfo_rootx()
it returns the value of whatever widget u set it to
I'll try to apply this to my code and show u how it does
would be a big relief it gets back to its original position after being clicked
the only problem left would be the identical letters 😂
young raptor
oof
wanton vessel
yea, cause identical letters = same values
young raptor
just do like z1 and f3 or something
dont need to be just letters
unles yu mean
x and y cords
wanton vessel
no I mean the letters themselves
young raptor
ok well I think you can do like r3 and it will work
wanton vessel
if you try to press z and theres 2 other z below, the other 2 wont be affected, the only z at the top would move
young raptor
oh
wanton vessel
cause they all have the same values which is z
young raptor
never give up its not how you learn even though i do have a simple project im working on im suck on

are you done with your project?

im trying to fix that notes thing
says i typed nothing and not getting what I typed in the entry
wanton vessel
I knew you were hiding something cool like this
young raptor
ya but thats it
ill work on more if I just decide to delete these notes or fix it
im leaning to just deleting them
young raptor
yes
wanton vessel
thought u were talking about the latest part
wanton vessel
Why dont u try to create the file at the first part?
young raptor
I had it working before I recoded it with frames
I dont know what went wrong
but ya I cant find the problem so im probs gonna remove it to work on something else
been using up to much of my time
wanton vessel
thats the right thing to do if u cant learn from it. Its best to work on something else for now to increase our skills then we can get back on our problems that we couldn't fix later
young raptor
ya your right
ill keep the code but ill just work one something else and remove it for now

I get how OOP is important for UI development, but I just can't wrap my head around using classes for making programs
sudden coral
To be clear, UI is not inherently tied to OOP but many UI frameworks use that paradigm.
If you're having trouble with it, you can try to find some resources online on OOP.
Or maybe follow a UI tutorial for a particular library
If you prefer to learn by example
vale gulch
Yeah, I just got into learning PyQt5 using TechWithTim's tutorials, but he dives straight into using classes
I'm not too good at using them, but I think I need to know more about them before tackling UI
static cove
I know for me, at least to get comfortable with how most Python GUI frameworks tend to work, it was helpful for me to start with some basic tkinter tutorials. It helped me get my head around GUI classes and how they interact. It made PyQt easier to understand after looking at tkinter.
sudden coral
Tim has a playlist on classes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_Jp11xqCzg&list=PLzMcBGfZo4-l1MqB1zoYfqzlj_HH-ZzXt

@static cove Yeah that sounds like a good idea, tkinter is really basic and seems like a great introduction to the world of Python UI development
As for the playlist, I've seen the first few videos, I think Ill finish the tutorial tomorrow or day after

I have a PyQt app that is reliant on the app's icon. Currently it's being shared as the app.py and a folder that contains the icon.png file. I call it like this:
dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)
iconFile = os.path.join(dirname, 'icon/icon.png')
What are my alternatives? What if someone moves or deleted the icon by accident? I'd love to have it run regardless. It would also probably fix the py2exe issues I'm having with it but that's another subject.
sudden coral
It's an internal file so there'd be no reason for users to interact with it under normal circumstances
If they delete it then it's their fault if the program doesn't work.
Just like if you go through your system files and manually delete an .so or .dll file, something will break
One workaround is to encode the icon as base64 and keep the base64 in a variable in your script, but that's ugly (especially if it's a large file) and seems unnecessary
If you're making an exe than maybe you can embed the resource into the exe, but I don't know how that works out with python
keen terrace
@sudden coral for some reaosn, creating an exe breaks the app because the icon won't be embedded
sudden coral
I'm not familiar with exe creation tools so I can't be of much help there, sorry.
keen terrace
thanks anyway for the input
you're right, maybe there's no reason for users to remove the icon
stoic dirge
Does anybody know how I can make a column in a grid to be fixed in height and width (would not change)? I'm using Tkinter btw.
this is the current code for my button (pretty straightforward):
traverse_btn.grid(row=4, column=0, sticky=N)
and for the results part:
results_text.grid(row=4 ,sticky=W, column=1, columnspan=2, rowspan=1)
@stoic dirge You'd need to call the grid_columnconfigure method of whatever is the master of these buttons is in some way
Strangely enough, they don't resize on their own (only when weight is set to something non-zero like the message above), so what you want should be the default behavior

any way to embed bokeh plots in a ui window ?
or any plotting library with fancy features like that other than marplotlib ?

hi everyone
mint ivy
@static cove well i need the interactive options which are available in bokeh plots but marplotlib is kinda static and i just checked out the plotly and it seemed great ... are you sure it can be used in a ui file?
static cove
What kind of UI are you dealing with?
wintry crescent
I wanna put numbers on tkinter and
and all i write is just a print, idk how to use it
static cove
Hmmmm... so plotly doesn't have a render for tkinter. So it's not a great solution for tkinter
What kind of interactivity are you looking for? Clicking on the graph itself, or clicking buttons to then change the graph?
mint ivy
@static cove its used to show streamlines in a duct and on every point on the plot there is a velocity and Temperature and pressure parameters which i love that mouse over ability of bokeh that had floating window besides the cursor
that would be clicking on the graph interactiveity kind i guess
static cove
Ah, okay. Are you tied to using tkinter? You could potentially do what you want in tkinter but it would take a lot
mint ivy
no
would love to find easier ways
i used to make a .ui file with Qt creator and import that into my main script but that also doesn't support bokeh plots
static cove
So I haven't used this, but I know other people who have. I tend to immediately go the html/webpage route when doing more complicated UI or graphing.
Could you use PyQtGraph? That should work with PyQt UI.

ok thanks I've been having a hard time figuring things out
so I'm trying to recreate this dashboard

this is currently what I have
I realized I was going to need to use an iframe
but I'm having a hard time formatting everything, specifically how and if I'm supposed to place things inside of the iframe
I have all the data I need, in a separate .py file
im using the dash library
static cove
Well, an iFrame (from what I understand) is a way to embed independent HTML into a webpage. So you still have to write the HTML/CSS/JS for that iFrame and then you would import that using the <iframe></iframe> tag
odd spruce
I see you have not used the dash library then >.<
I don't mean to be rude
but do you know if that's how it's supposed to be used, because I looked at the documentation, and I can't seem to actually find examples
static cove
I used it for a bit awhile back, I'm looking at the docs again now to re-acquaint myself. I didn't really end up needing to use iFrames. But you're welcome to wait for someone else to help that's up to your standard of familiarization with the dash library.
odd spruce
i wasn't trying to be rude
it's not about my standards
im actually trrying to place html divs inside of the frame as you suggested
maybe you need to define the divs outside of the iframe, then call them by the tag ID?
bold briar
you can't place html inside the iframe
that's the point of an iframe
you're embedding another website inside your own, that, for security reasons, you can't control
and judging by dash's tagline on their website:
Build beautiful, web-based analytic apps.
No JavaScript required.
they don't intend on you trying to mess with injecting anything into your client iframes
bold briar
if you're just trying to embed the JHU dashboard into your website you can just copy the iframe they have there
odd spruce
no no
trying to replicate it
and I see that they use an iframe, and within the frame are other divs containing different data points
I have all of those points, my goal is to recreate the dashboard
i thought i might be able to do so using dash
bold briar
oh you just want to copy the html, css and JS?
odd spruce
i want to use dash
to replicate the dashboard
dash is a wrapper for html css and js
so yes i guess
bold briar
all of them or a single one?
odd spruce
all of them
bold briar
also it looks like they're using a provider to make those charts https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/
odd spruce
*most of them lol
welp
so basically it can't be done
unless i use the tools they did
bold briar
yeah, not without a lot of work
bold briar
if you want to dive into JS, you can use highcharts, they have a great and free API for making beautiful charts
(API -> SDK)
odd spruce
no thanks
I will just try to mess with dash until I get something similar, or complimentary
bold briar
best of luck 👍
bold briar
I went to the JHU official website (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html) and inspected the JS and found the libraries they import in JS and started googling, one of them led me to the same link as the bare iframed dashboard

Is there anybody who needs help with starting out with gui? dm me
specificly tkinter
ember trellis
Anyone know what the operation is called when you have a scroll mode and you load data within a certain range that will be visible for the user and unload that data when when the user has scrolled far away from that data similar to how https://photos.google.com/ works or how the/a reddit app works on your phone. It's like a dynamic load and unload system based on a fixed range (to save memory by not loading everything) and based on the users current position when scrolled to some position on a page or a list.
@median turtle it doesn't matter, it's the same operation being called twice. You can disable either one and the program will still work

in tkinter, theres a way to create widgets using for loop. The problem I have is idk how to access each of them later on. Like, lets say I used a loop to create 6 Entries and placed them in different positions. How will I be able to access each of these 6 later? Is there a doc that discuss these things? Thanks in advance
I tried to append each of the entries to the list, but it gives me None value

Any PyQt5 masters here? I got an issue with QWebEngineView, where the function never works using pyinstaller. All my buttons work except anything that calls that function. I'm just using it as a web viewer, so when user clicks this button, it loads the URL in a frame. Is there another way in PyQt5 I can load URL pages like that?
I also found this for py2app. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1346297/py2app-cant-find-standard-modules Because I'm running in that exact same issue. Is there a way to make a standalone? I'm a little confused with the MacPorts

i'm not exactly sure if this fits here, but i'm trying trying to make a curses app constantly refresh, and i'm not quite sure how to do it properly without the flickering.
right now i have a loop which continously renders a display buffer then sleeps for the duration of a frame cycle, and a fake processor thread that modifies the buffer every now and then
sleeping like this makes inputs feels really unresponsive and i can only go up to around 10 fps before it starts flickering
i suppose for starters i should use the time delta to handle framerate and not sleep in between frames.
i also considered comparing the buffer to the current screen on every refresh, and then only render if the buffer has actually been changed
but this itself would take a bit of time, so i'm not sure if i would gain anything from this
here's the bit of code i've been experimenting with

To the first question: yes. There are plenty of web frameworks written purely in Python that have achieved this.
It's not clear what you mean by running tkinter. If you want tkinter to be used by clients in their browsers, then that is not possible AFAIK. I imagine you'd need to map every tkinter widget to web technologies like HTML/css.
I don't know why you'd want to do that.

Kivy supports python, so in turn supports numpy. There are some difficulties with numpy support with android, but otherwise it supports everything python.

I initialized the GitHub repository with a license and then connected it to the git repository. After doing that I tried to push to the GitHub repository but got this error:
I'm assuming the "work that you do not have locally" is the license.

wdym for each iteration?
like for every tap of the button or for every initialization?

i have a txt file where each line contains a files name(which will be the buttons name) and the files location(which i want to use to open the file) which are separated by a | so i can read each part individually. so for each line i want a button added named after first element of the line and the button to open a file using the file location in the second element of the line. so for each iteration(line) i need it to add a button
what i've got so far is the buttons actually being added, they dont work, but the files that they are supposed to open are instead being opened when i launch the app

PIL is an image processing library. The current version for Python 3.x can be grabbed via pip install pillow
(If you want to use the module directly you would then do import PIL)

I just turned my PyQt5 application into a standalone (linux binary) with fbs, and the generated package has over 160 Mb. That's insane. Is there a way to reduce that?

Take out any dependencies that don't need to be there
Or if u have any folders or files that the program uses, delete them and instead autogenerate them inside ur program
Maybe clean up ur code
If nothing works, compress ur executable for end users

Not sure about python specifically, but in general, qt can have some of its modules disabled. This can drastically reduce its footprint.
Maybe this has to be done when qt is built. However, I had read a long time ago about people exlcuding certain qt so/DLL files when packing their python app

That's what I thought, too. But how would I determine which .so files are needed and which not?

@digital rose I'm still playing with this to see what's up, but your search.get() doesn't seem to be pulling from the Entry widget correctly. It seems to be pulling a letter input late. I need to type in a second letter for it to correctly pull the first letter.
I wonder if the .bind() is somehow messing up Entry's .get() function
Maybe .bind() is being processed before Entry can update it's text field, so when you call .get() it simply hasn't recorded the new Entry value
That's definitely what it seems like with me messing around with what key triggers the bind()
Well, you could possibly pull together a workaround by pulling event.char to see what letter they actually pressed and putting that together with search.get()
It gets a bit tricky with the backspace button though
Looks like the char for backspace is \x08
You can check for event.keysym instead though, since that's BackSpace for pressing the backspace
oh hey! It's an Entry widget. You can use a StringVar and then attach a trace on it
Yay and it works like it should!
It's not too bad. Give me a minute to grab some example code of how that would work
from tkinter import Tk, Entry, StringVar
var = StringVar()
def your_function():
print("Whatever you want it do")
entry1 = Entry(textvariable=var)
var.trace("w", your_function)
A trace will track whenever your StringVar changes. Your StringVar in this case is whatever text is in the Entry widget
This should be much simpler for you if the user does something weird like select the text and type something to replace it wholesale.
So the first argument I give for trace is what operation triggered the callback: w, r, or u. W = write operation, r = read operation, u = if variable is deleted
We're specifically checking is something has changed/written something to the variable, in this case the user. But if you programmatically change it later, it'll also trigger for this method if I remember correctly.
Oooh and this is a good explanation on how tkinter executes it's bindings. Something I didn't know.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11541262/basic-query-regarding-bindtags-in-tkinter
when you define update_listbox, you want update_listbox(*args) to accept the arguments that the .trace will give
It gives a list of 3 I believe
or just 3
You don't really need any of them, you can capture them all with *args
To be a bit clearer: def update_listbox(event) should be: def update_listbox(*args)
!args-kwargs
proven basinBOT
static cove
What the discordbot just posted is a better explanation of the *args that I put in
It's a REALLY nice feature with python, to just capture an arbitrary amount of positional arguments
oh! in your if option.startswith() I still used search.get(), I did not use the current_text variable.
but you can also do current_text.get()
No worries~ Good luck with coding

static cove
Okay, well there's a lot going on with your labels. I would take a second look at what's going on with the "\n Prefix" Label and the second "Type your command answer" Label.
But it's putting the "Add Command" button in the same row as the "output" Text widget (because you specified them to be in the same row). The output text widget is much bigger and makes the row very big. By default, tkinter will place items in the center of the row unless specified elsewhere. So it placed "Add Command" button in the center of row 7. If you want it at the top of the row, you could add "sticky=NW"
digital rose
wait idk why i used new line there tho
I could fix this by actually making the output row more down
So
But it still stays in the same row tho
idk
static cove
Changing the output to be placed in row=8 fixes it for me.
static cove
Changing the output to start in row 8 should definitely change what you're seeing. How are you running the code?
static cove
Okay, so you're using VSC. Can you screenshot what you're seeing or paste what you're putting for the output.grid() command?
digital rose
static cove
Okay, so comparing that to your original screen shot it does seem like we got rid of the button floating way far away from the input boxes.
Tkinter won't display rows that have nothing in it. So if you put it in row 8 or row 20 but don't have anything placed after row 7, it'll look the same.
static cove
If you want it to take up multiple rows you can use rowspan. If you just want some extra space around the widget you can use the padx or pady parameters. That'll place either horizontal or vertical padding around the widget in a cell.
digital rose
but if i use rowspawn should i continue in the next row or
skip the rows that rowspawn
span
static cove
If you have a button that's taking up row 0 and 1. Then try to place a Label starting at row 1, either the label will cover up the button or the button will hide the label. So you need to make sure you skip the rows that an element is spanning over
static cove
in what case isn't it doing anything?
digital rose
Idk how to use it still
😄
So if i have a label at row 0
And put rowspan to 2
And next laber to row 3
It doesnt have spaces

So if it starts at row 0 and takes up 2 rows, it'll take up rows 0 and 1. You can put a label in row 3. But if row 2 doesn't have anything in it it won't display so the labels will still look like they're close to each other.
But if you'd like space between widgets I'd recommend using padx and pady. It'll add padding around the widget and give it space.
button.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=10)

these are still next to eachother Label(windows, text="Response commands", bg="#89898B", fg="white", font="none 12 bold").grid(row=0, column=0, rowspan=2, sticky=W)
Label(windows, text="Type your command name!", bg="#949291", fg="white", font="none 12 bold").grid(row=2, column=0, sticky=W)

what gui package you recommend using?
static cove
Tkinter is nice because it comes packaged with the standard python.
PyQt has some nice features and has some pretty good resources out there for it.
You can read more about other GUI options on this page: https://docs.python.org/3/library/othergui.html
I'm currently using PyQt and it's nice, although I wish more of the documentation was python oriented and not c++ oriented.
There's also Kivy with lets you make GUIs for mobile phone usage. https://kivy.org/#home

Is there a way to make a .exe file with a pygtk?
I made a programme with pygtk and want to port that to windows without writing a seperate code for it in any other cross-platform gui frameworks
grave moon
im pretty sure you can just use the popular frameworks
i know one claims to pack all your imports with the program
not sure if that's the standard

Python 3.8.3 tkinter, can't focus on entry..

I'm really confused about something on tkinter
Why is it that when you press a button and the function is invoked, it doesn't continue with the rest of the code?
static cove
What do you mean it "doesn't continue with the rest of the code"?
tawdry lion
I'll send a hastebin to the part of my code
I've done some testing and I found that when you click the button, the while loop never happens again
@static cove
static cove
It does finish the while loop completely once? or no?
tawdry lion
Yeah it runs through it initially
And then once I press the button
it's function gets called, and the while loop stops
static cove
Is it specifically when the button gets clicked or just when that function executes? I'm trying to figure out if it's an odd tkinter behavior or something wacky with just the function
tawdry lion
I'll test it out

what's people's opinion here? tkinter? pyqt/pyside? .. if i the focus of the GUI is to draw similar to bar charts.. tkinter sadly seems like the most efficient code?
(without using matplot/pyqtgraph cuz it was slower)

hey currently i'm using pyautogui for a project that asks the user for input in a new window, however once you make the window I can't find a way to edit it. Is there a way, or is there a better gui tool I should be using?
static cove
@full elbow Tkinter is nice because it comes packaged with python, but I'm not sure what you mean by "without using matplotlib/pyqtgraph cuz it was slower." Matplotlib is definitely the go-to for a lot of plotting needs because of its backend support.
It also depends on what metric you're saying something is efficient.
full elbow
yeah i think im doing it wrong with matplot
and matplot provides way more than i need
problem with tkinter is man do i like that qtdesigner lol..
gotta try pygubu, see if it works in 3.8
but i wish pygubu would just have a converter to straight python, not xml

im having a really confusing error.
Im using Tkinter with Subprocess and Pyinstaller.
If i run it in VS Code or any other shell, it works perfectly fine.
if i use pyinstaller on it and keep the console, it works perfectly fine.
if i used --windowed to hide the console, it does nothing anymore.
i found out that there is a problem with using subprocess and --windowed and also there is some kind of a workaround. But i dont know how..
i dont even know whats the issue is.. without a console, debugging is pretty.. impossible..? (as far i know)
thats the workaround i heard about, that is to complex and abstract to understand for me:
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki/Recipe-subprocess
And here is my code:

pyinstaller sucks when you want to convert pygame to exe
hearty solar
its not a pygame
frosty nest
sorry
you misunderstood
i was just saying that
but sorry i cant solve your problem
hearty solar
:/

ok

Would it still be relevant to use classes with tkinter even tho I’m just gonna use place method? No grid or pack
silver maple
What causes that weird part parentheses around queued: 6
My program creates a queue of functions with key presses and I want to track the length of the queue.
This is the relevant code
silver maple
It is tkinter
That weird this only happens when it goes from a two digit number to a one digit number.
These are all the widgets I have, so I don't think there is any overlap
static cove
Would you mind sharing your code? I'd like to run it and see what's up with the length StringVar and what exactly is impacting it

Hey @silver maple!
silver maple
The program is meant for a certain game so if you just run it without changing the micro function it might mess with your computer.
Also, sorry the code is probably written poorly
static cove
Huh. I am not seeing what you're seeing.
Changes I made to get your code to run with minimal effort from my end:
- changed micro() to just sleep for 1 second
- commented out all keyboard functions/items
- used a bind on root to capture keypresses to add to the queue
silver maple
Does bind work if the tk window isn't focused
