Anyone here experienced with PyQT5? I have a rather simple question just new to PyQT5

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

Yes there are. Just ask your question.

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

So I have a Text Editor I am creating, and I simply just need to get the character count inside the text editor. Same thing as Word. As I type a counter adds or subtracts to a number. I just don't really know how to implement it

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

With a QTextEdit widget

#

It very likely has some attribute or function you can use to get the contents of it

#

Indeed https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextedit.html#toPlainText

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

yeah okay so I have used that already

#

and implemented it into the code

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Can you be more specific on what you have trouble implementing then?

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

wordCount = len(self.toPlainText().split(" "))

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Is it updating the counter that is problematic?

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

yes

#

thats the problem

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

Do you already have a label for the counter?

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

    def getWordCount(self):
        wordCount = len(self.toPlainText().split(" "))
        print(wordCount)

#

this is the exact def I am using

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

There's a textChanged signal for which you can hook up a slot. And in the slot you can edit the label's text with the newly calculated word count

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

Where do you see that?

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextedit.html#textChanged

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

I have been looking for something like that for so long. Also when printing wordcount I get a 1

#

in the console and that is it.

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

Are you familiar with the event system in Qt?

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

Not really. This is my first ever attempt using PyQT

#

and Python for that matter

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

Events you can subscribe to are called signals. And you implement slot functions which are like event handlers. In other words, slots are the functions that get called when a signal (event) is triggered.

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

does it return a boolean?

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

So if you know you're looking for some kind of event, you'd want to check the "signals" section of the documentation

#

📎 unknown.png

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

oh voids

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

And there you can see textChanged. That was my methodology for finding that

#

This is the C++ documentation by the way. void is None in Python.

#

I just use these docs because they're more readable and complete than the Python ones

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Welp, good thing my main language is C++

#

So how exactly do these signals trigger

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

You define a function you want to act as the "event handler" for it. This function will be considered a "slot"

#

Then you need to hook up the slot to the signal, and qt will take care of the rest

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

Okay can I use my old function as the "slot"

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

For example my_text_edit_widget.textChanged.connect(self.my_text_changed_slot)

#

A reasonable spot to make that connection would be in the __init__ of your parent widget/main window

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

Okay I will give that a shot. Thanks a lot. Still a bit confused but I'll get there eventually.

#

It is simply just getting used to how Python works

#

@sudden coral So would my_text_edit_widget be QTextEdit

📎 unknown.png

#

ignore that blue mark

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

You need to hook up the slot outside the subclass

#

So in whatever is using your textbox

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

My Document class, that is exactly where we use the TextBox class

📎 unknown.png

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

You're misusing inheritance

#

There's no need to subclass the text box here

#

Instantiate the object and store it in your class

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Are you talking about Document(TextBox)

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Yes

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Well then how would I go about using TextBox

#

Goodness I am a mess

#

does super(TextBox, self).__init__() suffice?

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

Do you have a main window widget?

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

I guess that would be our main

📎 unknown.png

sudden coral Sep 10, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

I imagined it something like this

#

self.central_widget = QtWidgets.QWidget(self)
self.layout = QtWidgets.QGridLayout(self.central_widget)

self.text_box = TextBox(self.central_widget)
self.layout.addWidget(self.text_box)

#

If you want to have keep the Document class separate, then that's fine, but it should subclass QWidget and have its own layout. Then you can add the text box and the counter label to that layout.

#

And the main window can be reserved for "top-level" stuff like a status bar, the file menu, etc.

#

It's more a matter of design. Either way works.

silk basin Sep 10, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

okay, im a little bit confused but thanks for your help ill try some things out

lethal coyote Sep 10, 2020, 6:07 AM

I'm playing with the idea of figuring out how to diy an additional input device for my PC. One idea is to buy some cheap tablet and write a simple app that would allow me to send keyboard/mouse inputs via USB. That said, my inexperience far exceeds my ambition atm.

After some brief googling, I think I just need to learn and use one of a couple libraries I found, for the tablet GUI side of it. It's the rest I'm clueless on. Anyone have any insight or guidance on how to go about this?

rocky dragon Sep 10, 2020, 7:30 AM

#

That sounds like something that should have a (better) app available already, unless you want to write it for practice

Hey guys! I have been writing a code using kivy. Here i am trying to take the input from the user in the "EighthWindow" and trying to get that variable in the "SecondWindow" as a label. My approach was to define UN as a class variable and then update when the username is entered. Then i get the updated value of UN in the second class and plug it in. But UN does not get updated. I am new to kivy and the overall concept of classes and objects as well. Any kind of constructive criticism and help is appreciated. Here are the shortened codes:
Python File

class EighthWindow(Screen): 
    username= ObjectProperty(None)
    password= ObjectProperty(None)
    UN=""
    def change_var(self):
        EighthWindow.UN=self.username.text
        print(EighthWindow.UN)
class SecondWindow(Screen):
    n=EighthWindow.UN
    Name=StringProperty(n)```



Kivy file

```<EighthWindow>:
    name:"Eighth"
    username:username
    password:password
    FloatLayout:
        TextInput:
            id: username
            hint_text:"Username"
            size_hint:0.6,9/40-0.1
            pos_hint:{"top":4/5-0.1,"x":0.2}
            multiline:False
        Button:
            size_hint:0.6,9/40-0.1
            pos_hint:{"top":2/5-0.06,"x":0.2}
            text:"Login"
            on_press:
                root.change_var()
                app.root.current="second"
<SecondWindow>:
    name:"second"
    FloatLayout:
        Label:
            text:root.Name
            pos_hint:{"x":0,"y":0.75}

Hey, quick question, what's the difference between pyqt and qtquick? And which one fit the best for a desktop app with complex effects such as frosted glass themed window, etc

rough isle Sep 10, 2020, 3:39 PM

I need to help with getting a bunch of files (GUI and socket system) working together.
I have 4 files: server.py, client.py, gui.py and main.py.
server.py and client.py are have the code for a console chat system using sockets.
The problem is that the client only receives messages when he submits an input, since input() blocks all the other code from running. Now I'm trying to combine this system with the GUI I created in gui.py. I was told to use multithreading and was provided with the code below, which I put in main.py. (See Image)

gui.py

nix: there are programs that let you take multiple mouse/keyboard and set them to do different things. what are you looking to do with an extra input device?

lethal coyote Sep 10, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

@trim ibex oh. that could actually help. how should i phrase my search for those programs?
my hands suck, so a lot of shortcuts and macros are difficult, and certain mouse actions are difficult to do quickly/accurately. so, the idea was to have quick access mapped buttons and maybe a touch mousepad for certain tasks.

placid nebula Sep 10, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

im looking for good guide book or course anything which you recommend about pyqt5

trim ibex Sep 10, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

well for difficulty with a mouse, try a nice large trackball. you can get a nice touchpad with big buttons pretty cheap too. there are also bluetooth buttons you can get that people use for quiz programs

#

i guess if you have a lot of macros you'll need some good cheap way to have a lot of actions but also comfortable

lethal coyote Sep 10, 2020, 6:28 PM

@trim ibex hmm...i might just end up going for a touchpad with mappable buttons if i don't decide on something by black friday. thanks for the response

Seligmann you can put it under "installation" or "setup". it's still part of that and it will help bring it front and center.

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 4:29 AM

@inland notch is this also happened before you compiled the script?

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

No, it happens during the compiling

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

That's weird, errno 22 is usually connected with directories errors, can you recheck a line of code that tell python to open some file? e.g: File = Open('C:\User\Somefiles')

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

Oh it might actually be that

#

if I had another folder in the dist folder, would that mess it up?

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

I'm not sure

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

would having a period in a file name do it?

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

Have you tried to recursive? Like File = open (r'C:\User\Somefiles')

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 4:43 AM

I'll try

#

nope

#

not that

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 4:47 AM

try opening a more simple named file to narrow it down. i see you have a ' in it, maybe that i dunno

#

@plush stream could it be windows defender?

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

I couldn't find the dadgum line that open the file

#

You should really consider adding comments on your codes, jayzus i couldn't find which is which

#

Also, i doubt that errno 22 caused by defender

#

If it is blocked by win defender, it should have a different error message

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

I'm using pycharm, if that helps

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

Could you tell me on which line is the code that have the Problem? Im having a hard time finding it

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

It's not the code, it's when I try to compile the program

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

Okay well, what configuration did you use in pyinstaller? e.g = pyinstaller -noconsole myscript.py

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

Yeah

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:11 AM

the program runs fine but doesn't work when you freeze it using pyinstaller?

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:11 AM

📎 2020-09-11_15-10-10.mp4

#

It worked before, I've compiled it fine before but Idk why it's not working now

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

hard to say but maybe all your assets aren't being included

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

Did you leave any folder that contains maybe textures?

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

Yeah

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

oh it says Icon.ico not found

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

that was before, I made a typo

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

If you have separate texture folder then pyinstaller not gonna include it so you have to copy it manually

#

Or generally any separate folder

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

Yeah I know

#

I take the exe and the assets folder and put them in their own folder, zip em, the put it on gamejolt

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

for what i did it helped when i put a init.py in my icons folder. pyinstaller could find them then

#

discord ate the underscores but you know the filename

#

a blank file, just indicates that it should be looked at

#

oh and i did import icons

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

No I don't

plush stream Sep 11, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

I've never use the import icon function in pyinstaller, so after it compiled i'd just have to slap the icon with resource hacker

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

__init__.py

#

ok that worked

#

lemmie see what else i have in code, i dunno if it'll help you or not

#

at the top:

# All that python imports here is an empty init file.
try:    import icons
except: pass

later to load the icon

try:
    # the frozen version will still try to load it manually first
    ctrl.setIcon(imageFilename)
except:
    folder, file = os.path.split(imageFilename)
    ctrl.setIcon(BytesIO(pkgutil.get_data(folder, file)))

in the .bat file in pyinstaller's flags

#

Haha, thanks, it's already a habit, but i might try that one in my next project

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:34 AM

#

I feel so smart

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

i dont think you need all those 'global' do you? if they're already defined outside a function

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

Yeah you need "global" to change variables inside a function

#

I think

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

not if they're defined outside the function

#

so like when you started it and only had "score" inside functions it probably didn't work but now it would

#

i dunno, try it

inland notch Sep 11, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

Try what?

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

removing some

#

oh actually i guess if you do a "score=0" in the function it'd make a local version

#

what i usually do for something like that is make a dict, like cfg = dict(score=0, something=1)

#

some of this stuff you could trim down though, i think this might work for your audiorefresh function ```python
def audiorefresh():
map(lambda x:x.set_volume(volumeslider.get()), [Jumpsfx, Pewsfx, Hitsfx, Pickupsfx, Megalazersfx, Jumpsfx, Walksfx, EnemyLandsfx, Newwavesfx ])
Game.after(1, audiorefresh)

#

you could use a regular loop if you think it's not so readable like that

you're allowed to download youtube videos if you get express permission from youtube or the content owner

programs like that dont break laws, PEOPLE DO

you're fighting for opressive copyright laws if you slap down every piece of software, it isn't python discord's job to be the police

But people in this server do have to abide by the rules of this server, which includes not breaking other site's TOS. A youtube downloader (without the express permission youtube, which good luck obtaining) is against youtube's ToS.

where's the clause where it says people aren't allowed to create python programs

static cove Sep 11, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

using any automated means a python program would fall under automated

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 4:28 PM

so you're ignoring the exceptions

#

and you jsut want to declare all video downloaders illegal cause you're gonna be a good copyright cop

static cove Sep 11, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

... no? I'm saying that on this server we can't help with anything that would break youtube's ToS. Which downloading youtube videos does.

#

Violating ToS != illegal

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

you're talking in circles

#

it does not break tos

#

the user may or may not break the tos, depending on how he uses it

#

it's like saying ban all skateboards because they're illegal to ride in the street

#

what? you make skateboards? go to jail!

#

people like you who blindly rules-lawyer everything are the reason everything is such a mess

graceful shoal Sep 11, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

Hi, we have it pretty explicitly in our rules that we won't help with any ToS-breaking code.
If you want to use YouTube in a programmatic way, you can use their API and we'll be glad to assist you with it, otherwise that's not something that we'll provide help with.

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 4:37 PM

code doesn't break tos, that's my point

That's a meaningless statement. You'll breaking that ToS by running that code

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 4:37 PM

he's allowed to legally and ethically and without breaking tos to create a video downloader, or to ask for help on one

look if you dont want it on the server fine, but there's zero wrong with it

trim ibex Sep 11, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

i haven't used appjar but it looks like it's a wrapper around tkinter. took me a while to figure out that in tkinter when you do a .bind() you can add a parameter add="+" to add another binding. maybe appjar has something similar

#

looks like you can use tkinter's bind directly with appjar

its not as manipulative as tkinter in terms of precision, but in terms of easy to use i'd compare it to html tbh, its pretty much 'make a button, put it here, make it do this', so still kinda complex but much nicer than tkinter, especially for grids

could do with some nicer documentation imo, but then again its made for pretty GUIs and i dont use it for pretty GUIs XD

If you have child widgets, a child widget may have the focus and be consuming the focus out event.

Make sure only the "main" widget you want has a focus policy, and the children have no focus policy

plush stream Sep 12, 2020, 4:26 AM

You see i use my second window to modify the variables inside the main window

sudden coral Sep 12, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

Inverse the relationship

#

Store the new value in the second window, and have the main window read that value

#

This makes more sense because the main window is the once that has a reference to its child already, so it's much simpler

I'm trying to get the value of the dial in secondary window to the main window

sudden coral Sep 12, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

You can't set the text to the dial's value before its parent window even exists.

#

Keep in mind that the dial has a signal you can use

plush stream Sep 12, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

Okay, so i have to set the parent window to main_window?

sudden coral Sep 12, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

No.

#

Let me rephrase that in a more generic way

#

You cannot access the attribute of an object that has not yet been created.

#

First, dial is an attribute of self.second_win, not of self. Second, self.second_win is only created once open_new_window is called. Hence the problem you have.

plush stream Sep 12, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

Aah, balls, so i have to create an attribute of dial in main window class then?

sudden coral Sep 12, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

That is one way to solve it, but not very good since you're cluttering your main class with widgets that don't actually belong to it.

#

With some more info now, I see that using the dial's valueChanged signal is the best approach

#

Well, not necessarily the best, but it's good. There's another approach that's good but it depends on what you want

#

Example ```py
def open_new_window(self):
self.second_win = Secondary_Window()
self.second_win.dial.valueChanged.connect(self.set_label_value)
self.second_win.show()

def set_label_value(self, value):
self.lbl.setText(str(value))

#

Alternatively, you can move the following lines to __init__ instead, which will have the effect of preserving the second windows state rather than creating a new one every time

def __init__(self):
    # other stuff ...
    self.second_win = Secondary_Window()
    self.second_win.dial.valueChanged.connect(self.set_label_value)

Hi, I had a question. Would one recommend building an IOS app in python using a library like Kivy(mb), i am unsure whether i want to go into that without knowing whether i’d get decent results. My goal is to make visual pleasing interfaces, you may Ping me.

Hello there guys, Is it a bad practice in Tkinter to not to assign widgets to variables, if not needed? GWmustaKotoThONK

#

Pls ping me if anybody have some suggestion GWjiangLoveHeart

plucky wedge Sep 12, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

depends , sometimes it doesnt change to much but when u need to for example .config soemthing it will be much easier with variable or maybe impossible without var

#

so i suggest using it anyways

i got the way to take values from user, but only one liners are possible, one question in other words

#

posible for the program to suspect full stop as the end of one query

#

?

    print(j) 
for j in search(query2, tld="co.in", num=10, stop=10, pause=2):
    print(j)```

#

@frosty mango

#

add more query as the other search

#

you can let it print something that can separate the searches from each other like a line of underscores

#

there is a 2-3 second delay for me between each query

Okay so when the program is ran, GUI 1 (the main window) is opened
when everyone is done with that window, GUI 1 will open GUI 2 and destroy itself, making GUI 2 the only window open
that works perfectly fine until when it's time for GUI 2 to open GUI 3
When GUI 2 is done with everything, it should open GUI 3 and close itself, just like GUI 1
but it doesn't work, it just doesn't do anything
the code is the same

#

This is where GUI 1 opens GUI 2 and destroys itself

self.window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
self.ui = UiMw()
self.ui.setupUi(self.window)
self.window.show() # OPENS GUI 2
MainWindow.close() # CLOSES GUI 1```

#

this is where GUI 2 opens GUI 3 and tries to destroy itself

from JSuite_Bank import Ui_MainWindow as Ui_MainWindow2
self.window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
self.ui = Ui_MainWindow2()
self.ui.setupUi(self.window)
self.window.show()
MainWindow_2.close()```

#

The problem is that the code looks identical so I think it should work

#

but what happens instead is that GUI 1 opens GUI 2 and closes itself perfectly fine but GUI 2 doesn't close after opening GUI 3

#

the code is the same so I'm stuck

swift halo Sep 12, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

What error does it show?

ionic moat Sep 12, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

No error mb

#

it just doesn't do what the code says

#

the first time, it works, the second, it acts as if the code wasn't there

#

so it does nothing

#

GUI 3 opens and GUI 2 remains alive

eager beacon Sep 12, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

have you tried overriding the close event to force accept the event?

#

if that doesn't work maybe you could try destroy instead of close

no I have not

What is your favorite choice for a GUI framework, wxPython, PyQt or Tkinter? I need to make a choice and a good advice from people who know more than me would be great

bronze basin Sep 13, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

i personally use PyQt and as of now its my favourite choice for gui with python. It is also not hard that hard to learn and has a wide community so if you have any questions you can just research and get your answer

#

use kivy for simple programs or mobile apps if u want but PyQt is better for more powerful and heavy applications as it is designed to be more than just a gui toolkit and is able to build entire applications.

fluid tinsel Sep 13, 2020, 11:45 AM

I’m using PyQt5, and I’m building a program as a practice so I can learn how it works. The program just has some buttons which pop up a message box, which shows an example of a Hello World program dependent on the button pressed.

After I run my file, the label goes to the left side, instead of the top, and my goal’s to get it to the top, in this structure:

LABEL
BUTTONS```
I tried using `setAlignment` on the layout, and the label, and both at the same time but it didn’t work.

How to convert TKINTER with many IMAGES, to an --onefile EXECUTABLE

#

How to add images @sinful kraken

#

I have a directory that contains all my images

sinful kraken Sep 13, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

Make sure the images are in the same directory as the script.

#

Oh?

#

hmm have you put the path to directory in the python script?

fiery pier Sep 13, 2020, 2:28 PM

Means?

#

I have put relative paths

sinful kraken Sep 13, 2020, 2:28 PM

Good. Still not working?

fiery pier Sep 13, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

I didnt try, because I don't know how to add images

sinful kraken Sep 13, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Ohh. Just make sure the relative path is in the script. Put the .exe outside same place as your image directory and hit run.

fiery pier Sep 13, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Will it simply work if I convert my script to exe without typing anything except pyinstaller-w--onefile

#

Lemme try.

sinful kraken Sep 13, 2020, 2:30 PM

Should do. When you're debugging leave out the "-w" so you can see the error code in cmd

Error -failed to execute script main

sinful kraken Sep 13, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

Did you do it without -w?

#

If so. run the .exe through cmd,

fiery pier Sep 13, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

Actually the issue is, when I keep it in my working directory (where my script is) it runs perfectly. But if I move it , to say desktop, it does not work

sinful kraken Sep 13, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

Yes

#

Cause it can't find the images

#

That's the problem you're having.

#

use a shortcut to your desktop. To where the script is. Like how Games launchers work. Oin your desktop is a shortcut,. Not the actaul .exe.

fiery pier Sep 13, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

But, its my first time. Can you please tell mye how can make it work if I want to circulate it

#

What can be the process, to make my programm executable in other systems.

sinful kraken Sep 13, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

Ohhh. 🤔 Well it should just work.
Bascially all they gotta do is keep that .exe in the same place as your images and click on it to run.

how to make each item in a QcomboBox do an action

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

why not use addItem ?

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

that adds an item but doesn't make it do something

#

i want an item to do an action

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

addItem(const QString &text, const QVariant &userData = QVariant())

#

it can take a QVariant as the userdata

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

so how can i make it lets say print something

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

create an action and pass to QVariant.fromValue

#

set your action triggered to do something

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

can i have an example?

#

i have this to make an item

self.comboBox.addItem("item_name")

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

sorry went afk

#

did you try it?

#

Im looking at QComboBox addItem doc string and it doesnt list the QVarient that C++ hhas

#

so just pass the action in after the text

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

like pass a func?

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

or better yet create the action with the text you want and set that as the text

#

addItem('text',action)

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

but the action would need more lines

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

then when the currentIndex is changed connect to something

#

get the currentData(Qt.UserRole)

#

it should be the action

#

What do you mean

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

self.comboBox.addItem("item_name", func)

#

or action

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

action

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

like the action is wont fit there

#

its more than one line

#

self.comboBox.addItem("item_name", print("hello world"))

#

would that work?

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

so define it above and pass the variable name in?

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

yea

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

well, the docstring* does say Any, so i dont see why a function wouldnt

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

ok i'll try

#

it says unsolved reference

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

why don't you just pass the action?

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

because the action needs alot of lines

#

like that would merge two files and downloads a file

eager beacon Sep 13, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

action = QAction('My super long\
action .....\
.....')

additem(text,action)

#

I have no idea what you mean

frozen schooner Sep 13, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

ok one min lemme try

#

it activates the action when the item is created not when it is selected @eager beacon

#

okay well then I've misunderstood what you want

#

It works fine for me

I've written quite a few terminal based scripts for various tasks, but I'm looking to start incorporating a GUI.

At the moment, the only two languages I'm familiar with are Python and basic ECMAScript. However, since I plan to learn more, I'm looking for a gui framework that I can grow with and eventually scale to much larger projects (Like Django).

I think that makes sense... Any recommendations?

What is the difference between padx and pady to ipadx and ipady in tkinter?

amber roost Sep 14, 2020, 11:57 AM

#

@orchid yoke ipad basically adds wiggle room in the widget that is being packed, which is notable if it's made up of smaller sub-widgets which then have some more room to expand; pad adds the space on the outside (so kindof like ipad on the widget's parent), having the sub-widgets clump together as usual but adding a margin on the outside (left is ipadx=4, right padx=4)

@plush stream u can make window transparent [by changing alpha ] and then apply blur maybe

it is the only thing we can do in pyqt and even there is no option to do this in tkinter'

@cursive parcel that's the problem, that last part is the biggest concern, how do i apply blur?

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

btw there are two methods i found when trying to do the same in tkinter , and methods i found were to use gaussian blur method [check it out , i think its method in numpy module as i remember]

#

or u can try something like

setGraphicsEffect(QtWidgets.QGraphicsBlurEffect())

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 3:28 PM

that wont work

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 3:29 PM

the thing u r trying to achieve is called "VIBRANCY"

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 3:29 PM

the QgraphicsBlurrEffect is literally there for Qtwidgets

#

so u cant apply that to a mainwindow

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 3:29 PM

thats what the main prob i m facing too

other method was gaussian blur method only i could find out

I couldn't find anything related to Gaussian blur in pyqt

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 3:31 PM

enableBlurBehindWindow()?

doesnt work

just try your window name.enableBlurBehindWindow()

hey checkout my VS CODE

plush stream Sep 14, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

@bronze basin it's from PyQt5 import QtWinExtras

Then you can call it by

QtWinExtras.QtWin.enableBlurBehindWindow()

#

@cursive parcel how did you do that?

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

@plush stream type object 'QtWin' has no attribute 'enableBehindWindow'

#

nah

#

it doesnt work

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

actually there is extensionn called "vibrancy" in VS Code , Hyper Terminal software which provides vibrancy

plush stream Sep 14, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

@plush stream type object 'QtWin' has no attribute 'enableBehindWindow'
@bronze basin enableBlurBehindWindow

#

Not enableBehindWindow

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

it says window has no feature likek qtwinextra , maybe bcuz root cant be blurred

plush stream Sep 14, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

If I'm not wrong, the qtwinextras is an exclusive on windows since i think it depends on windows's dwm (desktop windoe manager)

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

@plush stream yeah it works now but it still doesnt get blurred

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 3:47 PM

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 3:49 PM

It won't dynamically change ain't it?

Look

#

@plush stream basically

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

ruby con would u help rewrite too

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

if you use a Qframe for your main window

#

since its qwidget

#

you can set the opacity low

#

and then do the Graphicsblur effect

#

yeah this will probably work

#

if this doesnt work

#

you cant do it

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

ya now it makes sense

#

it should , there's only way to find out!

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 4:02 PM

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

wdym?

#

create what exactly

#

the gap between the window?

cursive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

yes

#

this is same program

#

having window buttons in above frame and main program interface in below frame

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

i am not sure how exactly one would do that in pyqt

#

one sec

plush stream Sep 14, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

I think pyqt has a scripting language that are very similar to css, it's called qss if i'm not wrong

#

But it definitely didn't have all the features that css had

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

yes

#

@cursive parcel make a qframe in that place where u want the empty gap

#

either set the stylesheet r,g,b,a=0
or use the QGraphicsOpacityEffect for the Qframe

plush stream Sep 14, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

What about the rounded window?

#

Could you round a window in pyqt?

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

perhaps if u make a QFrame and use Qss for the borders and remove the window border generated by window

#

basically make your QFrame your mainwindow

#

like Main QFrame

plush stream Sep 14, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

Okay

@sand warren

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

hey

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

hey

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

well..

#

i can give you my oppinon on the matter

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

sure

#

go ahaead

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

but im not a gui guy

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

ohk

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

so.. when you want to make an interface you are left with some options

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

well what do ur friends use tho

#

ohk

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

from great to excellent

#

so one is kivy

#

its a great gui framework

#

its user friendly

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

ohk

#

what about pyqt5!?

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

easy to learn. but it takes a lot of time

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

its better

#

pyqt

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

now qt5 is excellent

#

but

#

its hard to learn and takes a long time to learn

#

so its all about what you feel like doing

#

do you want to invest all the time to learn QT5

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

hmm ok well i dont need guis for large projects

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

or start with something like kivy

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

so i'll consider learning kivy

#

yeah

#

ohk

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

now, i do not use any of them

#

i have used qt and kivy before

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

woah! ok

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

but i make my interfaces using web tech

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

wut?? i don't get it!?

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

so. lets look at how discord does it

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

hmm ok

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

it looks like an application for your desktop right

#

buts its actually made using web-tech

#

so it runs in a browser

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

ohh

#

so this app is kind of a browser

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

are you on a desktop using discord now?

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

yeah

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

press F12

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

nothing happens

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

hmm.. well.. maybe its more you have to enable

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

prolly coz i have turned off the developer settiongs

#

yeah

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

so it would open the dev tools like it does in chrome

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

yeah the inspect one ig

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

hes basically using js,css and html to create interfaces @west briar

#

like with react

#

or something

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

I do not use react at all

#

i just use a web-server to show my UI

bronze basin Sep 14, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

well

#

i am saying u can use react js

#

if u know js,css and html

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

yes, i agree.

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

ohk interesting

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

react would be part of using web-tech

#

react. vue.

#

ermm... something more maybe

#

there are many ways

#

now, i would recommend you to look into kivy as well

#

its a great library for gui development

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

well wait do i need to learn js,html,css for web-tech??

#

now, i would recommend you to look into kivy as well
@sand warren i'll definetly learn ti

#

it*

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

yes. the web is made out of js, html and css

obtuse thistle Sep 14, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

you can make pretty apps with kivy and kivymd https://kivymd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

but there are many many other ways of making an interface for the user

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

hmm yeah

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

this is just my two cents on the matter

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

well prnslly why i loved qt was coz of the designer like it makes the guis so more interactive and easy to use

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

qt is excellent. its just hard

#

nothing negative about it.

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

yeah prolly save it for future

#

yeah

#

anyways thnx for the help everyone here

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

learning qt will always be useful.

#

i would say the same about kivy 😄

west briar Sep 14, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

ohk 😅

sand warren Sep 14, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

I recently used a program that used the eel library.
https://github.com/samuelhwilliams/Eel

This program uses eel and the screenshots are very nice.
https://pypi.org/project/auto-py-to-exe/

It creates a offline web-based interface, designed using html/css and JS to interact with the backend. Since its css, you can use bootstrap and other themes. If you know some web dev it's basically a micro web dev framework. Haven't actually used it myself, but it looks like it'd be great for small programs.

Trying to implement Qlabel in PyQt5 but I am getting error:
cannot import name 'Qlabel' from 'PyQt5.QtWidgets'

#

Anyone know why?

#

from PyQt5 import QtGui
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget,QHBoxLayout
from ColorWidget import Color

#

this is my current import

#

the L must be capitalised

silk basin Sep 15, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

ahh

#

yes

#

me dumb thank you

#

So if I am trying to add a label where the current color yellow is. Do I need to create a function for that?

📎 unknown.png

indigo needle Sep 15, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Tkinter vs pyqt what do you guys recommend for light GUI for some projects regularly. Which one is easier to learn

sudden coral Sep 15, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

Tkinter is easier to learn and pyqt is more powerful

#

I suggest you make the investment to learn pyqt, even if it has a steeper learning curve

#

@silk basin I think it'll get positioned there if you set the label's parent to the yellow colour widget. Of course, that means you need to assign that widget to a variable first rather than directly passing it to addWidget

#

The other way you could do this is add the label directly to the layout and then use a style sheet to change its background colour

#

Which is probably more idiomatic honestly

silk basin Sep 15, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

@sudden coral I ended up figuring it out! Program is coming along 🙂

cursive parcel Sep 15, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

is it made with ttk or pure tkinter?
@plucky wedge TRUE af , it is pure tkinter , it is not about language u use in making UI , it is about simple geometry and colors

#

I recently used a program that used the eel library.
https://github.com/samuelhwilliams/Eel

This program uses eel and the screenshots are very nice.

yes u can use html css js, eel, electron js to make cool web based apps

What are you having trouble with?

fiery pier Sep 15, 2020, 5:02 PM

So, I have made a calculator, and it fits perfectly in my pc

But I gave it to my friend, but it does not work fine

#

why is this so big?

fiery pier Sep 15, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

It's full screen

#

windowWidth = root.winfo_screenwidth()  # Getting window width
    windowHeight = root.winfo_screenheight()  # Getting window height
    root.geometry(f"{windowWidth}x{windowHeight}")
    root.resizable(False,False)
    root.state("zoomed")

#

It's hard to tell from the picture, what's wrong/different between the two?

fiery pier Sep 15, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

The window size vary

#

My resolution is 1980x1080 and his is comparitvely lower

#

an my program does not fit there

static cove Sep 15, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

hmmmm... My guess is there might be an issue in win7 with tkinter then for detecting screensizes.

cursive parcel Sep 15, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

mine is this
@fiery pier cool calc ui man , almost similar to windows calc

#

@fiery pier i think if the program has sizing problem find a good size which can fit on many systems

tribal path Sep 15, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

Could be due to their scaling. That likely wouldnt be accounted for with just winfo

fiery pier Sep 15, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

@cursive parcel ty ty

#

@tribal path maybe

cursive parcel Sep 15, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

@fiery pier i meant set FIxed geometry dont make it changable

fiery pier Sep 15, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

ok

#

what can be the most standard

Hey, just a quick question, I'm using this code

from tkinter import *

from PIL import Image, ImageTk

root = Tk()
root.title("FNaF-Maker-Clone")
root.geometry("1280x720")
root.configure(background="black")


class Bg(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master, *pargs):
        Frame.__init__(self, master, *pargs)

        self.image = Image.open("images/test.jpg")
        self.img_copy = self.image.copy()

        self.background_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(self.image)

        self.background = Label(self, image=self.background_image)
        self.background.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES)
        self.background.bind('<Configure>', self._resize_image)

    def _resize_image(self,event):

        new_width = event.width
        new_height = event.height

        self.image = self.img_copy.resize((new_width, new_height))

        self.background_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(self.image)
        self.background.configure(image=self.background_image)


e = Bg(root)
e.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES)
menubutton = Button(bg="blue").pack()

root.mainloop()
```And I can't place a button, text, or any other GUI element on top of it. Does anybody know how to fix this?

amber roost Sep 15, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

Button(bg="blue")
Specifying e as the parent of the button would help

last mantle Sep 15, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

Oh thank you

#

How might I do that?

amber roost Sep 15, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

pretty much every tkinter widget takes its parent as first argument

gleaming cradle Sep 15, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

should i learn qt or kivy?

fair bluff Sep 16, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

This is my code

    def __init__(self, num):
        super().__init__()
        self.sLayout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.label = QLabel("Another Window")
        self.sLayout.addWidget(self.label)
        for x in range(num):
            print(x)
            self.progressBar = QProgressBar()
            self.sLayout.addWidget(self.progressBar)
        self.setLayout(self.sLayout)
        print(num)```

#

This is my output

#

How would i stop at 10 progressbars and put the rest to the right

sudden coral Sep 16, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

Use a grid layout instead of a vbox

#

This will allow you to specify both row and column when you add widgets to the layout

#

And you can calculate the column number easily using modulus x % 10

fair bluff Sep 16, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

ok i will try that thanks
