closeEvent in PyQt5 is not working for some reason ```py
class Ui_MainWindow(object):

print('Closing Window!')
self.exit()

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

@keen laurel Does the function get called and just not exit, or is it an issue of the function not even being called?

I think you'd need to be inheriting from a window to be able to use it directly like that

I'm using tkinter for my gui, I'm trying to do a simple ping to an IP and have the command line parsed back into a listbox but I can't seem to make it display in the listbox at all. Looked into using os, subprocess. My current way of displaying other information in list is using .insert ---- I seem to be going down an unnecessary rabbit hole over complicating it all and was hoping someone can point me in the right direction before I waste more time

@static cove the program now uses a "QThread" rather than python threading, and I still am receiving the same error..

Is there a way to dynamically update a layout in PySimpleGUI? I want to add things to the layout when a button is clicked, but I can't figure out how to do that (nvm, found a github issue that answers my question by overlaying it and closing the old window)
thorny spruce
So what alignment do you want on the y axis?
mild mural
what i really want most desperately is
a frame in which its size is the length of the window
and inside that frame
mild mural
are buttons that are aligned as such: if there are 2 x=0.4, x=0.6 if there are 3: x=0.4,x=0.5,x=0.6
bright trout
a
mild mural
yes
mild mural
bruh
thorny spruce
You'll want frames for each group
bright trout
Are you trying to set the size for main window to the size of the Frame?
mild mural
You'll want frames for each group
@thorny spruce wdym group?
thorny spruce
Wait, what do you mean by "if there are 2"?
thorny spruce
Can't really get that with place I don't think
thorny spruce
Is this not what you want?
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("500x500")
frame = tk.Frame(root)
frame.pack(expand=True)
button = tk.Button(frame, text="Button!")
button.pack(side=tk.LEFT)
button2 = tk.Button(frame, text="Button2!")
button2.pack(side=tk.LEFT)
button3 = tk.Button(frame, text="Button3!")
button3.pack(side=tk.LEFT)
root.mainloop()
hey hey hey!!!
this is exactly what i want!
thanks!!
i didnt think it would be as simple as using tk.LEFT
huh
how would i change the background color of the frame @thorny spruce ?
bg="blue" doesn't seem to be working
thorny spruce
You'll need to fill
The frame is only as large as its cotents
So you can't see anything since the buttons take up all the visible space
You could also add some padding to the frame
keen laurel
@keen laurel Does the function get called and just not exit, or is it an issue of the function not even being called?
@static cove Im late but function notneven being called
thorny spruce
@mild mural If you want padding to have a border around it you may need another frame because of the button layout.
bg_frame = tk.Frame(root, bg='blue')
bg_frame.pack(expand=True, ipadx=10, ipady=10)
frame = tk.Frame(bg_frame)
frame.pack(expand=True)
internal padding
mild mural
oh
there we go
now we're really cooking
also, why are the button's height and width so wonky
like
how are they proportional?
thorny spruce
Width is adjusted to the text length
mild mural
ahh ok
that makes sense
but is also very strange
can i change this line: py bg_frame.pack(expand=True, ipadx=20, ipady=30) to something that will put it in a rely position?
@thorny spruce
thorny spruce
Not with pack, your layouts are quite box like
What layout are you trying to achieve?
mild mural
ig i just want to be able to control where that whole thing is
but i want the buttons in the frame in the frame to be near the bottom
but not, aligned with the bottom
@thorny spruce
is it possible to use place() in this situation?
ayyy i got it
@thorny spruce
i made yet another frame that uses place()
here is the final code:
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("500x500")
epic_frame = tk.Frame(root, bg='green')
epic_frame.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.6, anchor=tk.CENTER)
bg_frame = tk.Frame(epic_frame, bg='blue')
bg_frame.pack(expand=True, ipadx=20, ipady=30)
frame = tk.Frame(bg_frame, bg="blue")
frame.pack(expand=True)
button = tk.Button(frame, text="Button!", height=3)
button.pack(side=tk.LEFT)
button2 = tk.Button(frame, text="Button2!", height=3)
button2.pack(side=tk.LEFT)
button3 = tk.Button(frame, text="Button3!", height=3)
button3.pack(side=tk.LEFT)
root.mainloop()```tysm for helping me out
really appreciate it
(also sry for double ping)
thorny spruce
You can orient the frame by setting the side to the bottom and adding padding
But if it's working how you want it then that's good

I am currently creating a ui with Kivy. If I keep the window at its pre-defined size, everything is where it is supposed to be, but if I got full screen or resize the window, all of the widgets will stick to the bottom left when I need it to stay fixed at the center of the window. Any ideas how I could do this? Thanks

Hi all. I have a basic question about Tkinter. As this interface is a bit 'ugly to look at' some people like to change the font style of the interface as well as fix the design to make it look more beautiful. Does anyone know what to do or where I can look for information? Greetings to all.-
modern marsh
Hi @civic vale
What exactly are you asking?
The style of the text or the arrangement of the widgets in the window?
Please elaborate
and ping me please when replying
civic vale
What exactly are you asking?
@modern marsh a ambas, pero mas que nada orientada al estilo de letra y a todo que este relacionado con la estética
both, but more than anything oriented to the style of letter and everything that is related to aesthetics
modern marsh
yes, i can help you
look at this
i will give a sample code
bAddtodb = tk.Button(mainwin, text='Add to database', height=1, width=15, font=('Bahnschrift SemiBold SemiConden', '15'), command=addtodb)
the font attribute helps in the style of text and size
for the widget placement,
place(x='',y='')
grid(row='',column='')```can be used
for the geometry of the main window (size ,etc), this can be used,
m.geometry('500x200+100+100')```where the first 2 are the size of the window
and the next two are the placement of the window on your screen
@civic vale
is this what you asked for?
civic vale
@modern marsh
the grid if I occupy it but the first line of code that you sent me I am seeing in what it consists, if you could expand a little more it would be good. if it is not much trouble
modern marsh
what do you mean by expand?
ok so,
bAddtodb is a variable that i have given a value of a button
in the attributes of the button
mainwin suggests that the button must be in the window named mainwin
text is the name of the button
font consists of 2 parts
The first being any font type that you like . Ex: Arial,Canberra,etc
The second part is the size of the text put in the button
and lastly,the command part is to give a purpose to the button, the command it should execute when it is pressed
civic vale
sorry for the time
modern marsh
ye no problem
civic vale
mi first lenguaje dont is english
civic vale
I am using the google translator
I am clear how to change the font style for the buttons
el tipo de letra tiene el mismo nombre que en word?
@modern marsh the font has the same name as in word?
I can do the same with entrys and labels
modern marsh
i did not understand what you mean by that
you write it as font in the button
font=('Arial','15')
for example
and yes
civic vale
and for the background of the frame. It has a design like in powert point. Would one have to design it, for example by placing images or from somewhere can you download or use a template?
modern marsh
you can do the same with labels
i am not sure about entries
I am not very familiar with frames, sorry
civic vale
font=('Arial','15')
@modern marsh i understand
modern marsh
btw
civic vale
ahh ok
modern marsh
it is better to switch to PyQt5
instead of tkinter
as tkinter is very old and difficult to use
civic vale
ahh ok
What is the difference between tkinter and PyQt5
My goal is to make this look as cute as possible
modern marsh
In pyqt5 there is a designer app
that helps you to put all the widgets manually
instead of coding it
civic vale
omg
but then that becomes lines of code. Why would they review the program's code lines?
modern marsh
i did not understand
what do you mean it becomes lines of code?
this is the UI for designing the window
civic vale
what do you mean it becomes lines of code?
@modern marsh Es que me piden que la interfaz sea programada.
entonces la persona que lo revisara le va a echar un vistaso a las líneas de codigo
then the person who will review it will take a look at the code lines
PyQt5 is in the same language as python?
civic vale
gracias por la ayuda voy a investigar un poco por mi cuenta ahora.
thanks for the help i'm going to do some research on my own now.
Could I ask you questions from time to time regarding tkinter?
modern marsh
ok
bright trout
@civic vale Well in my opinion, TKinter is good simple and great for many things as aside from big projects, yet PyQt5 has more potentiality at its rate of power, simply to put it TKinter is Simple and Easy, and PyQt5 is Powerful.
@modern marsh TKinter might be old, yet there is a way to avoid its plain look of things, You can change the UI looks. To be more modern by using ttkThemes.
Like for Example:
bright trout
Yeah!
Just takes about 3 Lines of Code to Extract teh Themes.
Also, if you are interested in the different themes you may as well look here: https://ttkthemes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/themes.html

Hi i'm a bit confused between using tkinter and pyqt5, can anyone suggest? [ I know tkinter but it seems to be pretty basic]
midnight bramble
I am a python begginer and am making a tkinter calculator - I am trying to make a popup for when you click the radical button so you can enter the index (square root, cube root, etc). But when ever I click the button in the pop-up that is linked to this function - it will input the index into the main calculator but it won't close the index window. *Note: the enter function puts whatever I pass through it into the main calculator, and the root_evaluation is the inputted index. And the root_gui is the second window defined as a
Toplevel()
Code for the function that I want to input the index and close the window:
try:
global root_gui
global root_expression
root_evaluation = eval(str(root_expression))
enter(root_evaluation)
root_gui.destroy
except:
root_display.set(" Error ")
root_expression = ""```
I have also tried all 3 of
```root_gui.destroy()```
```root_gui.quit```
```root_gui.quit()```
in place of
```root_gui.destroy```
jolly basalt
So should I do wxPython or Pyqt5

Is it easy?

so im confused on rkinter
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
myLabel = Label(root,text='hello')
myLabel.pack()
root.mainloop()
I did this but i dont fully nderstand
static cove
Which lines don't you understand?
digital rose
1-4
static cove
root = Tk() This is defining your Tk instance, which is needed to have of the tkinter code to work. It specifically creates a toplevel widget of Tk and each instance has its own Tcl interpreter. This is what will contain and show most your GUI
digital rose
what is Tk
static cove
myLabel = Label(root, text="hello") This is creating a tkinter widget called Label. You're telling it it should be associated with your root Tk instance, so it'll be tied to that associated Tcl interpreter. Then you tell it what text to display
digital rose
ok i understand that
static cove
Tk is the name for the graphical user interface that tkinter is a binding of
static cove
Mhm, you need an instance of the Tcl interpreter and the Tk toolkit that interfaces it if you want you tkinter code to run
Tk() does all that for you
So you're created your label, but you haven't told the program how/where to place it in the window. There are 3 different ways to do that: .pack(), .place(), and .grid().
That code uses .pack() to put the widget into the window.
digital rose
whats the difference between pack and lace and grid
static cove
Finally root.mainloop(). That's you saying you've gotten all the GUI code ready to go and you're reading to actually show the window and let the user interact with it. .mainloop() shows the window and listens for user input. Any code you have after this line won't run until the user closes all open GUI windows, because it's a blocking function.
digital rose
ok
static cove
Here's an okay-ish article for the different between the 3 different geometry managers: pack, place, and grid.

work.

when ever I make a widget, they are just 100,100. I want it so that it covers the window

from a quick google you need to use a Layout
use a Layout widget, put your widget inside of it

root.mainloop()```how do i fix this
https://www.pexels.com/photo/photography-of-night-sky-733475/ this is the real image (with info)
errant glen
You need to rescale the image to the size of your window. So you can do something like
image = Image.open('./pexels-juan-733475.jpg').resize((1350,700), Image.ANTIALIAS)
self.bg = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
Is pysimplegui worth learning? Is it that much easier than something like appJar or PyQt?
neon bay
@autumn badge Depends on the application. You can learn the basics of any GUI framework in a day.
autumn badge
Of course. I went away from QT for licensing reasons
I am just curious how easy it is to have buttons and different commands In pysimplegui
I mainly do things like calculators or document builders for apps so mostly single window apps where I need a snappy front end to tie into the meat of the back end
neon bay
@autumn badge For that use, it's not a bad choice.
I have built exe's with it using pyinstaller
You can get a GUI up and running fast.
autumn badge
nice. i have been using appjar and when i exe the files, there is a 10-20 second lag
@neon bay have you seen FBS on github? it is a pyqt builder similar to how electron is set up

@autumn badge There's some lag when running with PyInstaller, nothing too bad. Usually have a "splash screen" users are looking for.
I have not, I will take a look though

@main bloom How are you installing kivy? the exact command you're typing?
main bloom
well i think i got the issue it says
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
at the very down
and
and i am not sure which one to download
@static cove
static cove
I don't see that error in the error message you posted. Also, humor me with how you're installing kivy. You're probably running python 3.8 considering the error message and kivy has special install instructions for 3.8
main bloom
at the very bottom you can see the error ... hmmm
i didn't know there is another way for python 3.8
what i did was
1 sec
i installed the dependency you can see in blue .. but when i am trying to install Kivy itself at the very top
i am unable to
that's what i did
static cove
Check the first pin in this channel. That's what you need to type in the PyCharm terminal to install kivy properly
main bloom
pip install --pre --extra-index-url=https://kivy.org/downloads/simple kivy[base]
?
ok
hmm i did that but
it installed a lot of things but when i type Import kivy i am still getting an error
should i uninstall the dependency i did before ? cause it doesn't donload and override them
static cove
I would uninstall it just in case, then re-try that pip command
main bloom
sure
static cove
but otherwise, let me boot up PyCharm and check what happens with mine
main bloom
i uninstalled all dependency and did same command again .. and i got this
static cove
Are you running in a venv in PyCharm or using the user python?
main bloom
there is some kivy related stuff i think it got installed when i was trying the commands showing in kivy websites
hmmm
venv ? i am sorry what is that ?
i am using pycharm .. if that's what you're asking about
static cove
PyCharm, by default, likes to create virtual environments for python. Which will generally keep packages in their own environment separate from the global/system python and separate from other virtual environments. It's very useful.
In PyCharm, can you go to Settings -> Project: <your project name> -> Project Interpreter and tell me what it says in that window?
main bloom
static cove
So your pycharm is running a virtual environment (as indicated by the little green v)
main bloom
okaaaay
static cove
So to install packages in a virtual environment, you need to use the virtual environment python interpreter. The PyCharm terminal should default to that, so you want to use that instead of the regular system cmd line/terminal.
so typing pip install --pre --extra-index-url=https://kivy.org/downloads/simple kivy[base] in specifically the PyCharm terminal should install the package to that venv
main bloom
ok doing that now
cause i did it only on CMD
dude
you're
a legend
Thanks so much man
i just didn't know there is a difference between using these commands on CMD or in pycharm terminal
static cove
@main bloom yeah! Virtual environments are super useful. Here's a good article explaining it that you can read when you have some time: https://realpython.com/python-virtual-environments-a-primer/

how to use python for electron.js
plush stream
Any feedbacks on this design? I feel like this is not the best design for a music player haha
sudden coral
- The exit button is redundant
- Instead of a restart button, add previous and next buttons. The previous button will work as a restart button, unless the song is already at the beginning, in which case it'll go back 1 track.
- Light/dark mode and about should be more hidden, like in a context menu revealed by a small button in a corner or a hamburger menu?
- PreAmp boost doesn't seem like an often-adjusted setting. You could make the UI switch between showing the boost and the volume, but not sure what the most intuitive way to do that would be. Maybe clicking on the "volume" label
- Pause and stop should use the traditional ⏸️ and ⏹️ icons rather than the giant buttons
- Add a seek bar along with the elapsed time and total song length
- Display some more metadata about the song: album, year, genre, album art
- I don't know what the browse music window looks like, but the features described above could and should be integrated into the browse music window since they're gonna make what you have way more compact. @plush stream
plush stream
@sudden coral thank you so much, and yeah i'm fully agree with you, i'm planning to add menu bar and fill it with the about button, and dark mode button, as for the seek bar I don't think it's possible to do it with tkinter?

Not sure about the seek bar; I don't use tkinter. Could you implement it like you did the volume slider, but automatically update its position every second as the song plays?
plush stream
I've had that idea too, but unfortunately vlc's Python binding doesn't seems to have that feature, either i have to migrate to C or just use other audio engine, but i have a hard time finding them. So if you have recommendations, please share.

what can we do with tkinter?

@plush stream I've made a music player using Pyside2 (Qt) before.
It was really simple since the Qt Multimedia module comes with a bunch of widgets and APIs for it.

why am i getting a syntax error when i import chart-studio?
versed sigil
yep it was a underscore
but
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chart_studio'
now i got this
even after pip installing "chart_studio"
it's to the same interpreter

you know what? i think i'm gonna work on animating my map with the mapbox stuff on jsfiddle

What ide did you use?
versed sigil
jupyter
plush stream
Hmm, not so sure abt that then, sorry.
versed sigil
it's fine ty tho

If you used pycharm reinstalling the module from pycharm itself will fix the problem, you can install the module via project settings > interpreter > add module (in form of + button). Maybe it's similar with Jupyter? I never use it
tawdry idol
you have an environment problem
did you try !pip install chart_studio in the Jupyter notebook itself?
versed sigil
i did
yes, i was thinking i have some issue w my env so i directly installed it on jupyter
ig i'll try to make my data visualization w jsfiddle + mapbox satellite api
so i can check if my ML model is making sense

hey guys is there any recommendations for ui builders (in python) that I can use. It's for my business to display data from an api
stray jackal
yes
maiden dragon
@digital rose i don't think its popular but I use wxpython with that you can download wxformbuilder and get pretty far into the GUI building process, if its a very simple app then it can probably get you pretty far
that being said this is the only way i am familliar with so there may be better options

Hi! I am new to python and decided to make a simple calculator.. I am away from home atm so I can't show the code until tomorrow... But I can send pics that I took on my phone.. I have only created the GUI but I can't seem to put the buttons together.. Any help?
I mean idk how to eliminate those gray spaces in between the red buttons 🤔
I tried moving the buttons along the rows and column but that doesn't solve it...
I have a speculation that it is bc of the "Clear" button but if that is the case then its even more complicated 😔
tribal path
There should be an option to tell clear to use 3 cells rather than use 1 and be 3 cells wide. rowspan
main bloom
When making canvas what is the difference between using root. Height and self. Height imean both do the same thing I don't get it
Iam talking about kivy btw
tribal path
Depends how stacked the rule is. They arent always the same
main bloom
Is there is anyway in pycharm to know the attributes required cause sometimes I forget the name of the attributes needed
Such as these attributes
main bloom
@tribal path iam sorry but what is this? Like I download it and in pycharm iwill se an indicator of what attributes ican use in this location?
tribal path
Havent used it myself, but yea should exactly that. Like what you get for .py files
There may be other more recent versions from elsewhere, just noticed how old it is
https://github.com/noembryo/KV4Jetbrains heres one
main bloom
@tribal path thanks man that was very useful didn't know there is such thing

thx
ok so
basicly
I need help in beetween> I tried moving the buttons along the rows and column but that doesn't solve it...
@digital rose ok so basically I need help here:
clear = Button(gui, text='Clear', fg='black', bg='darkred',
command=lambda: press(), height=2, width=21)
clear.grid(row=6, column=1)
I need to eliminate those gray spaces and press everything together
and rowspan / columnspan doesn't do anything
I need an answer fast if possible pls😔
if I put
clear.grid(row=6, column=1, columnspan=3)
this is happening
a more detailed pic
I need helpppp

the whole code or just for the Clear button?
I can't share the whole code cuz it's too long but I'll share the clear button
clear = Button(gui, text='Clear', fg='black', bg='darkred',
command=lambda: press(), height=2, width=24)
clear.grid(row=6, column=0, columnspan=3)
@novel cloud

then just increase the width n u sud be fine
what the width of ur whole grid
horizontally
??

button1 = Button(gui, text='1', fg='black', bg='darkred',
command=lambda: press(1), height=2, width=6)
button1.grid(row=2, column=0)
idk
novel cloud
like the gap?
digital rose
yea
novel cloud
u havent set it up?
novel cloud
i havent used tinkerbefore so we r on same page bahaha
digital rose
this is gonna be difficult 
digital rose
I assigned the size for the first button and then copy pasted the size for every button except the clear button
novel cloud
u dont do it like that its really inefficent but lets try to work it out with what u have here 😄
novel cloud
i will try my best upto my capability
since u dont have any other options atm
button1.grid(row=2, column=0) -----> is that for placing the button in the grid??
digital rose
ye
brb 5min
k im back
can you help me with the grid?
but like
should we talk in sms?
dms*
novel cloud
its sud be fine here
digital rose
k
novel cloud
its pretty dead here
digital rose
ik
digital rose
ok thx cuz I pretty much have no idea 😅
digital rose
yea
novel cloud
let me see the doc
novel cloud
clear = Button(gui, text='Clear', fg='black', bg='darkred',
command=lambda: press(), height=2, width=24, padx = 0) #------> add padx to 0 n sud be fine :D
clear.grid(row=6, column=0, columnspan=3)```i wanted to see what happens after that
digital rose
yea the thing is...
novel cloud
coz u need to probably make the width to 26
defending on what the defaul padding was
digital rose
k the thing is I can stay at the pc for like 10 mins
digital rose
hope so
novel cloud
depends on how qucik u are
digital rose
k im gonna run the code now but I gotta wait for the Compiler to load
cuz i just started the program
novel cloud
u r using python ?
novel cloud
how u runnign compiler
novel cloud
having u tried increasing the width
digital rose
the width is 24
novel cloud
what happens if u try that
digital rose
set it to how much
novel cloud
make it 26
digital rose
k
novel cloud
n show me the diff
digital rose
nothing changed either
novel cloud
i thought the reason was something else
digital rose
ok I think I'm gonna put 27
digital rose
k I put 28
novel cloud
sweet beans
novel cloud
make the grid width to be 96
digital rose
for the whole gui?
novel cloud
yes bud
novel cloud
bbhahaha
novel cloud
try to test 200 lol
digital rose
😔
novel cloud
u gotta keep trying
digital rose
also
novel cloud
yes sir ?
digital rose
y when I run the compiler
novel cloud
ye interpreter
digital rose
it first opens up a window called tk that I have to close it to open the actual calculator
novel cloud
hhahaha its probabyl something with ur coding m8
digital rose
😔😔😔😔😔
novel cloud
did that happen after u kept it to 200?
digital rose
nah it happened for when I ran the program for the first time
and 8dk what the problem is
digital rose
k
I wanna like get rid of the gaps and then make the buttons squircle
but that's another story for another time
so can we like get rid of the gaps somehow?
@novel cloud
novel cloud
padx and pady to 0
digital rose
on the clear button?
novel cloud
all the buttons
novel cloud
smh
novel cloud
ok ur whole codebase is a mess

bruh wtf
u press function does take any argument
but y r u passing the value in ur press function
🙃

?
digital rose
it's ok
novel cloud
in ur line 15
digital rose
brb
novel cloud
def press(value = ""): #-----> add an argument for the function like this that defaullt as empty string```this is for removing the error and does make ur calculator work
i recommend doing that
but ye its ur choice
novel cloud
i recommend u try to make the whole thing from start on ur own
digital rose
yea that's gonna be a total mess
novel cloud
just to understand underlying mechanics to make it work
digital rose
so like do I just delete everything?
novel cloud
if u want to learn how to code
digital rose
brb
novel cloud
and just doing it for ur assignment n def a better option
digital rose
k im bak but I think I'm gonna brb again
k so I'm gonna delete the whole code and than try to code something
or like watch a tutorial idk

pls I need help asap!!

plssss helpppp😔
wraith belfry
erh.... pyqt5 does it not have a signal like "socket.error"? :S i want to be able to give a message when connected to a host!
static cove
@wraith belfry QWebSocket should have a connected signal
wraith belfry
@static cove i have been trying that but does not work like the "socket.error" signal :S apparently
let me try it one more time
static cove
It's emitted when a socket is connected and the handshake was successful. Are you looking for something else?
wraith belfry
aaah i remember why i couldn't get it to work!
it's because i need it to be a custom signal!
@static cove it worked this time 😐 wtf
i have no clue as to what i did wrong the last time :S
static cove
well at least it's working??
wraith belfry
yupp 😄
@static cove question, can i put custom variables with my custom signal? :S
static cove
Yeah, you can pass data through a custom signal. You just need to make sure you specify what datatype you're passing across
@maiden dragon Hey, I know you had some issues with wxPython, anything that still needs resolving?
maiden dragon
@static cove always have issues but all the ones i posted about are good now lol, i do have to learn python to SQL since we need to read the data from sql and not have it just stored in memory so we shall see how "fun" that is
pretty sure all my problems now are me not knowing matplotlib well enough and having poor API documentiation for the program i write to.
learning custom drawing was a nightmare and a half. Actually that still is partially broken so i could post that at some point 😂
violet rivet
anyone here ever use PyQT having some issues with positioning of Graphics in a Graphical Scene, but out of curiosity first what does PyQT coordinate system look like? does it start in the top left?
static cove
I think 0,0 is centered on the QGraphicsView. From the little that I've played with it, I remember having to set the scene size for it to behave in a consistent manner, otherwise it'll auto-adjust (and therefore the origin will change) based on what you add.
@maiden dragon I think Sqlite3 is a good database to start off with since it's bundled with sql, a flat file, and relatively easy to work with
violet rivet
That is the behavior I am noticing too, I know there is a local coordinate system for the graphic and then the global/scene coordinate system but I am unsure how to tell the graphic to move position (say to the bottom of the Graphic view)
static cove
So I think you need to set the Scene size with setSceneRect and then you should be able to move items to the correct position with setPos? I believe the origin of the item is also the center of the item.
maiden dragon
@static cove i believe i need to get ms sql server management studio from what my coworker told me, then i just have to read and write to it through the python sql module of my choice, which i can lookingto Sqlite3 for that

So I am working on a sorting algorithm and am trying to update my QT scene every iteration or maybe every x iteration but how would I go about doing this?
I am just using a bubble sort here is the code
def bubbleSort(self):
n = len(self.values)
for i in range(n - 1):
for j in range(0, n - i - 1):
if self.values[j].scenePos().y() > self.values[j + 1].scenePos().y():
# Update Graphic Positions
self.switch(self.values[j], self.values[j + 1])
# Update Position in List
self.values[j], self.values[j + 1] = self.values[j + 1], self.values[j]
how would I be able to update my graphics view every iteration?

Does anybody know the consequences of using normal multithreading compared to pyqts QThreading?
static cove
@wraith belfry So typically you would create a custom signal and when you're establishing the custom signal, you would indicate what kind of data you're passing through it
@violet rivet Pyqt/pyside2's thread functions + classes are thread safe. So you don't need to worry about implementing queues and keeping tracking of threads. You just pick your implementation and go. Plus there are usually signals with the Qts threads that are useful
violet rivet
I have not had any luck with them so if I am able to use normal multithreading library I will try that out

PyQt5 Question:
When this runs it ONLY prints out the boards that are ONLINE! not the once that are offline :S why?
self.ping = QTimer(self)
self.ping.start(1000)
self.ping.timeout.connect(self.pingServer)
def pingServer(self):
for key, value in self.board.items():
self.socketPing = Socket(host=(value["ip"]))
self.pingBoard = value["Name"]
self.socketPing.pingError.connect(self.pingError)
self.socketPing.connReady.connect(self.pingReady)
self.socketPing.Connect()
def pingError(self):
self.board[self.pingBoard]['Status'] = "Offline"
print(self.pingBoard + " is Offline")
def pingReady(self):
self.board[self.pingBoard]['Status'] = "Online"
print(self.pingBoard + " is Online")
just a question, PyQT vs Kivy? and reason?
rocky dragon
Depends on what kind of application you need, I'd say qt is more suited for normal desktop apps, while kivy offers more direct customization for something that's completely custom and it's written for python instead of having to be a wrapper like PyQt/PySide

QT: How do I make a text entry which only creates a new line if the user is holding both shift and enter, otherwise activates a signal?
Do I have to make a whole new widget or is there a simpler way?
class Entry(QtWidgets.QTextEdit):
returnPressed = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
def keyPressEvent(self, e: QtGui.QKeyEvent) -> None:
if e.key() == QtCore.Qt.Key_Enter or e.key() == QtCore.Qt.Key_Return and \
not e.modifiers() & QtCore.Qt.ShiftModifier:
self.returnPressed.emit()

return super(Entry, self).keyPressEvent(e)

Sorry quick question, if I have an object that is stored in an array and I call that object and I wanted it to return an int. What dunder could I use to call that value when I call the class. I dont want to do
int(values[0]) -> 1
but rather values[0] -> 1
I guess that wouldn't necessarily work, so never mind
violet rivet
it was a pretty stupid question, Basically I was looking for a way to have QtRects in a list to return the height value of those objects by calling something like list[0] where that would return the height of the object instead of doing something like int(list[0])
something like that wouldnt work becuase you would grab a reference to the height of the object and you would no longer have an actual reference to the object itself
static cove
@violet rivet So I haven
Welp. Let me try that again without hitting enter too soon
I haven't forgotten about the problem that you posted, just hitting a curious case where even if correctly threaded something about the QGraphicsView and QGraphicsScene isn't behaving. I think it has something to do with the event loop misbehaving, but I'm diving into it a bit more to figure it out

Is there any way to change a label using Tkinter after the window has been opened?
Or rather, the mainloop has been ran
static cove
Is the label change triggered by anything? Like the user pressing a button
static cove
Then in the function that the button triggers when it's pressed, you could add code to change the label
fair gulch
can anybody who has experience with tkinter help me on something?
basically i wanna create a grid minesweeper style
height and width based on user input
karmic vessel
Actually the thing that I'm trying to do is, within a function triggered by another Tkinter window, I'm trying to open a Tkinter loop, and do the things from there.
while also closing the main Tkinter window that's caused all this.
static cove
@karmic vessel When you say "open a tkinter loop" what do you mean?
karmic vessel
static cove
So you want one tkinter window to open another one and do the work in that other window?
static cove
So, for the second window I would look into the toplevel() function, to spawn a new high level window that can then run it's own function and things. You generally only want one .mainloop() for a tcl instance. But I'd need to see how you lay out your program to give more specific advice.

unless you count "QThread: Destroyed while thread is still running"

if your main window is hidden
and you close a secondary window
should the app close?

not necessarily
turns out the code, even without shortening it, was broken in itself.

Hello fellas, just got into python programming a few days ago, and got to a question i'm rather confused:
I need to do a script to compare 2 values, A and B:
while A is bigger than B, the script will endlessly ask for new A and B inputs.
if A and B are equal, it will display a message saying they're equals, and willl continue to ask for new A and B inputs.
lastly, if B is higher than A, the script will display a message saying such, and end the script.
I can't get out of the loops, even when writing contraditory inputs. Can anyone help this noob?

So you want to provide the position of the text as one of the first arguments

Did you put in exactly what I had, or did you fill in the x, y values with where you'd like to place it?

Ha, yeah. That can happen with positioning close to edges

for create_text you'd need to set a specific font and pass in the size as part of setting the font

How can I add the buttons side by side? I used .pack() method

@proven oyster What kind of styling logic are you using with tkinter?
@digital rose You can specify the side with button1.pack(side=tk.LEFT) or tk.RIGHT. That should left you place it side by side.
For more complex placements though you might have to explore multiple frames with the grid manager and the pack manager

@static cove I apologize I can't copy paste the actual code right now; the program is running inside a VM and using 100% of memory so I can't open a browser or discord on the VM to do so. Here's what I have though.
it's my first time using Tkinter so I'm probably just being dumb and missing something but I did go through the docs I could find and tried all the self.configure options with no success
