Hello I am 9th grader and i'm trying to create an app which live streams arduino data on to your phone. I am using kivy to create this app but I dont know how to create a bluetooth interface with the app I have alredy figured out how to create a live plot with kivy I just need to get the data from the arduino via bluetooth to the mobile app

Hello im trying to make it so a label prompt will pop up in a tkinter window for only 5 secs (temporary) then it'll disappear, anyone know how to do it? Thanks
desert rose
@digital rose Just saw this on the subreddit
Im having trouble with PyGui
Im getting stuff like this
instead of just the window
digital rose
dm me
desert rose
Okay
past locust
@spark crest if youre trying to make a popup/prompt, just use the tkinter.messagebox!
Here's an example:
`from tkinter import *
from tkinter.messagebox import showinfo
def showpop():
popup=showinfo("hey","sup user")
window=Tk()
popupbut=Button(window,text="popup",command=showpop)
popupbut.place(x=0,y=0)
window.mainloop()
`
@spark crest
digital rose
correct me if im wrong but why use tkinter?
past locust
He asked for implementation in tkinter lol

@spark crest
digital rose
but why
past locust
Why not?
spark crest
you cannot customize the color bg font etc in pygui if im correct
spark crest
@spark crest if youre trying to make a popup/prompt, just use the tkinter.messagebox!
digital rose
you can
spark crest
thanks will try
digital rose
in fack theres an entire gui that does that built in
spark crest
oh i see, i didn't know you can customize them
past locust
@digital rose every gui has its pros and cons. I will not get into whats better and what not. People use whatever they want to, depending on their needs.
past locust
And who said u cant do more in tkinter??
digital rose
tkinter can set back ground other than that there the same
and there working on adding that
and then some
and its easyer
spark crest
eh they're both good, maybe pygui is easier for others, and maybe tkinter is easier for others?
spark crest
haha
spark crest
hmm @past locust im getting an error saying 'showinfo' is not defined
its a function right
nevermind its fixed i just used pygui instead haha
thanks anyways its still help
past locust
@spark crest u can do :
`from tkinter import messagebox
si=messagebox.showerror("hey","there was an error")
`
Instead of using showinfo() @spark crest
Never mind u used pygui
pure wedge
is flaskwebgui good
spark crest
Thanks anyways :DD

why isn’t my PyQt5 program showing any window? it already has sys.exit(app.exec_()), and printing after window.show() does indeed print, but the GUI doesn’t show.
this is the code: https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/0bac510906ac49489f26a7be586934b9
(there are 2 files)
when I remove the syntax highlighting, it runs perfectly.
nevermind, it’s just some weird things with regex, ^ wasn’t escaped and when it got added to operators, it broke it.

In PyQt5 :
I have a bunch of buttons in a UI that I have set up. when the user clicks any of these buttons it's color changes to yellow. i am using the button.setStyleSheet("color: rgb(255,255,0);') to change the color to yellow.
If the user clicks another button I want the color of that to change to yellow and the previous one to change to white. in order to do that I need to run a loop with an if condition and check which buttons are already yellow. can someone help me with the code to retrieve that earlier set yellow.
fluid tinsel
according to what I understand, you need to run a loop in a PyQt5 program, for your own events, which stops it.
you can use a ‘thread’ that carries the loop.
here’s an example:
import threading
from PyQt5 import ...
def EventLoop():
while True:
...
thread_instance = threading.Thread(target=EventLoop, daemon=True)
thread_instance.start() # permanent thread
# rest of your app
@fluid tinsel was that for my question ?
I dont understand that answer . Im sorry. I just want a way to retrieve the stylesheet color of a button
pure wedge
how do i make a gui with html and css for python?
fluid tinsel
you can set a variable with it’s color.
bronze basin
@fluid tinsel was that for my question ?
@teal hearth if you want the loop to be running while the GUI is also running
you have to use multi-threading
cause it will interrupt your main event loop

im currently designing a gui for an axe throwing game
i just couldnt figure out how you integrate a fullscreen picture
i prepared one for the background
but it has these terrible borders up and down, left and right
i included the prepared picture for the background via tk.Label()
i tried the fill and expand option but they dont apply to images
any ideas on how to get a borderless fullscreen picture?
past locust
@nocturne fog u need to use a game library. Tkinter is a GUI module. Use something like pygame, and try asking in #game-development
nocturne fog
aight thanks @past locust
teal hearth
@bronze basin not that advanced at all yet. I don't think I can get that working
bronze basin
@teal hearth but if you want a loop that runs all the time while your GUI is also showing
this is what you have to do
maybe you can learn a bit more about PyQt in general and its multi-threading features and come back to it?

but.. this has built in guis for colors, buttons and text
deep hornet
lets be freinds
digital rose
ok
deep hornet
yes
visual stag
tkinter strangely enough isn't often installed by default on Linux distros, and it can't be installed through pip
visual stag
Obstensibly yes, but there's often this focus on keeping the base OS lean and anything else needed is available in the package manager like so: sudo dnf install python3-tkinter
But I feel that tkinter is one of those packages that should be preinstalled because Python is used everywhere on Linux and tkinter is a de facto standard for the language

Would anyone know how I could convert this popout menu to a simple dropdown box in PyQt5? I am assuming QComboBox but I don't know to get a grid inside of a QComboBox.
eager beacon
Use a listView in the combo and a QStyledItemDelegate
silk basin
I will have to do research on both of those lol. No clue what they are
eager beacon
would probably be easier to convert that to a frameless widget and create a label that looks like a combo drop down that when clicked opens the framelessWidget under the label
If that is an actual QMenu you could use a tool button with menuButtonPopup mode and set the menu to the toolbutton
that would be the easiest way to do what you're trying to do

@obtuse pumice Pyside 2 has more flexible licensing

@bronze basin What about quality of documentation?

its good i guess comparatively and both their syntax and features are basically the same

anyone around that could help with some basic wxPython stuff?

so you can select which file to use
and now i just cant get things to start

app.MainLoop()
if doload == 1:
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = DeethanizerApp(0)
app.MainLoop()
makeapp()
basically i cant lauch the Deethanizer app properly now
does it have to do with "name == "main"" because no articles can seem to dumb it down enough for me as to what that does
plain elk
it means something like
if this is the starting script
so if you run the script directly it's True and if you import the script it's False
maiden dragon
this is what it used to be
from tankui import MyApp
import wx.lib.inspection
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = MyApp(0)
#This is its own GUI/application it is used to help debug wxpython and show you various elements of the app
#wx.lib.inspection.InspectionTool().Show()
#Makes the application visible
app.MainLoop()
MyApp renamed to Deethanizer App

You should try to debug it

weak trout
Hello 👋. What library is better: tkinter or pyqt5? With "better" in this case I mean the library that gives you the more possibilities to create GUIs and "easy" to use
obtuse thistle
tkinter is easier and pyqt5 gives more possibilities
weak trout
The answer I was looking for 😅 thank you!
obtuse pumice
For what application? @weak trout
weak trout
It's a desktop application. Doesn't involve much graphics, just a small menu with some options. Though I want it to be good-looking
pastel kelp
TKinter is easier to use and CAN get you decent menus and GUIs, however TKinter is much more complex, and although it is harder to set up, it might be worth it for good-looking GUIs
Most people use TKinter only for popup windows and error messages, because its functionality is limited
I would prefer PyQT5... it even has a GUI editor that let's you auto-generate PyQt5 code by dragging items on the screen
I'm not really an expert on the "Good Looking" part of it, but I would expect PyQt5 to look better than TKinter
rocky dragon
Both are customizable to some degree so it depends on the use, I don't think their difficulty is that different although tkinter will be easier to start with as qt needs some getting used to
weak trout
I'll consider my decision. Thank you all for your comments, really helped 👍
pastel kelp
No Problem 👍
obtuse pumice
If PyQt5 and PySide2 are about identical, is there any reason to choose the one or the other except for licensing?
rocky dragon
I had some problems with pyside2 in one case and they handle a few things differently, so I'd maybe try them both out and go with what suits you and your project more

@uncut pawn what are you talking about?

In Qt, should QStackedWidget be used when a menu bar chooses the displayed info?
obtuse pumice
I want pushbuttons for menu choices, so when pushing the menu items, the "main" area changes depending on choice
tab widget wouldn't work i think
This is outside of Menu bar
eager beacon
i don't see why it wouldn't work with a tab widget
although the tabs would be visible
eager beacon
I don't understand what you mean 'locked next to each other'
obtuse pumice
Sorry 😅
eager beacon
it would be easier to go with a tab widget, that way you don't have to worry about highlighting the right button if someone decides to use the tab to navigate instead of the menu buttons
er... i meant it would be easier to go wth a stacked widget
obtuse pumice
Thinking about something like this
Then the content widget needs to be inside a stacked widget i assume
or the multiple content widgets
eager beacon
yeah, just make some checkable buttons and a stacked widget hooked up to them and you're g2g
eager beacon
I'd probably avoid using a toolbar for it but thats mostly because I hate the behavior of toolbars
Has anyone here ever created a custom calendar with QtWidgets?
obtuse pumice
Also, is there someway to force user to only enter numbers in something like a line edit?
eager beacon
use a spinbox
obtuse pumice
Or should i just use spin box?
obtuse pumice
Can i remove the rightmost side increment and decrement?
eager beacon
you can set set the button symbols to NoButtons to hide the spin/double spin controls
if you disable the wheel event a spinbox would be pretty much the same thing as a lineEdit with a validator and take less effort

@obtuse pumice just curious.. why did you choose designer over creator?
seems like most people on here are using designer
obtuse pumice
No reason really, i started follow a youtube tutorial which used designer
So a frame the geometry is grayed out 🤔
I guess i could use the maximumSize to change the size
eager beacon
what are you trying to do that you want to change the geometry?
typically you would just adjust the sizePolicy and the min/max size
obtuse pumice
eager beacon
and maybe the baseSize if they ever got that working
obtuse pumice
The upper left frame is to big
eager beacon
set the lower frame size policy to Expanding
and the upper to Preferred
the verticalPolicy that is
the verticalPolicy that is

you can use a vertical spacer to see what it would look like fully expanded

Unless you have a really good reason to want to learn Kivy over Qt i'd strongly suggest learning Qt

Kivy is a pain to work with in my experience

Qt has a learning curve but once you learn just a little bit you have so much more flexibility to do things how you want to do them instead of looking for some tkinter hack
if you haven't noticed a large majority of the questions here are about tkinter
and its not because its mega popular
dire sinew
need help with a gui i've created, i want to restart the GUI with a push of a button, i did some research and found this code snippet ```def restart_program():
try:
p = psutil.Process(os.getpid())
for handler in p.open_files() + p.connections():
os.close(handler.fd)
except Exception as e:
logging.error(e)
python = sys.executable
os.execl(python, python, '\'{}\''.format(sys.argv[0]))```
but i get this error
Process finished with exit code 0
when i push said button
when i research that error, i found info that implies that i'm trying to close the program from outside of it.
eager beacon
what framework?
dire sinew
i'm using pysimplegui if that's what you mean
the gui is opening an excel sheet and modifying certain cells
eager beacon
@dire sinew
import itertools
import sys
import time
import os
i = 0
started = False
print('Open')
def on_close():
python = sys.executable
os.system(f'{python} {__file__}')
global started
started = False
sys.exit()
for i in itertools.count(0):
if i == 20:
print('closing')
started = True
break
i += 1
time.sleep(0.05)
print('closed')
on_close()
that works for me
dire sinew
thanks @eager beacon
eager beacon
did you try it?
curious if it works in an event loop
I just tested with that for loop at the bottom there
eager beacon
copy the on_close stuff to your button press I guess
you don't need started or sys.exit()
is the line with __file__ the file you run to start your gui?
dire sinew
i'm using pycharm and just running the code from that
eager beacon
is it your main file though?
the one that kicks everything off and launches the gui?
eager beacon
you might try printing __file__ to see what its coming up with
dire sinew
ok
eager beacon
you need an absolute path i believe
and assuming you're on 3.4 or newer __file__ should provide that
dire sinew
printing file gave me the correct path to my py file
i have the function def outside of the button press, and i have the for i in itertools code in the button press
eager beacon
you don't need the for loop at all
i was just using that to keep it going to see if it worked
the on_close() function should be what your button connects to
and you only need the _open() function if you want to kill the original process
import os
from PyQt5 import QtGui, QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QPushButton
class Widget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Widget, self).__init__(parent)
self.layout = QtWidgets.QGridLayout()
self.setLayout(self.layout)
self.b = QPushButton(f'{os.getpid()}')
self.b.clicked.connect(lambda x =os.getpid():self.on_close(x))
self.layout.addWidget(self.b)
self.pid = os.getpid()
def on_close(self,pid):
self.pid = pid
self.b.setText(f'{pid}')
python = sys.executable
self.destroy()
os.system(f'{python} {__file__}')
self._open(pid)
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
w = Widget()
w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())
this works in pyqt
this is all super hacky
why do you want to do this?
dire sinew
i realized while i was coding the GUI that after the user would input the new data to the excel spreadsheet, the only way to add a new row of data would be to restart the gui, or am i not thinking this through correctly?
eager beacon
you are almost certainly missing something
I can't imagine that you couldn't extend a table widget row count after it had been created
I've never used pysimplegui though
eager beacon
next time use pyqt and I may be able to help
dire sinew
lol
eager beacon
oh, so its not even a table widget?
its just a bunch of inputs that get turned into a row in some spreadsheet?
dire sinew
yes
eager beacon
so I have to ask, why is restarting the gui the only way to update the spreadsheet?
dire sinew
i didn't think i could make it go to a new line after the user inputs the data from the first button press
eager beacon
why not?
dire sinew
i'm assuming i can then. I'm a noob at this
eager beacon
What makes it go to a new line when you start the gui?
hopefully this is just a fun exercise and no hospital will come near this tool 🙂
dire sinew
oh its called a hospital because of all the bad PCB's that have failed testing

if you want to post it here I can take a look and may be able to point you in the right direction

sg.Button('DEFECT', tooltip='Press to enter data to workbook', key='-IN4-')],```ugh
eager beacon
new_row_location = sheet.max_row + 1 should probably go at the end of your submit function
assuming it passes, add a new row
or you could throw it at the beginning and create the row and then enter the data into the row after its been created
at the beginning means the beginning of the submit function instead of adding a new row after every submission
that way, if its near the beginning you won't have an extra empty row in your spreadsheet
dire sinew
this is the code for the button presses
while True:
event, values = window.read()
if event in (sg.WIN_CLOSED, 'Cancel'):
break
if event == 'Submit':
wb.save('Hospital QNs_Status.xlsx')
if event == 'RESET FORM':
on_close()
elif event in '-IN1-':
qn_entered = values['-OUTPUT1-']
sheet.cell(column=1, row=new_row_location, value=qn_entered).alignment = center_aligned_text
elif event in '-IN2-':
pn_entered = values['-OUTPUT2-']
sheet.cell(column=2, row=new_row_location, value=pn_entered).alignment = center_aligned_text
elif event in '-IN3-':
status_entered = values['-OUTPUT3-']
sheet.cell(column=3, row=new_row_location, value=status_entered).alignment = center_aligned_text
elif event in '-IN4-':
defect_entered = values['-OUTPUT4-']
sheet.cell(column=4, row=new_row_location, value=defect_entered).alignment = center_aligned_text
elif event in '-IN5-':
causes_entered = values['-OUTPUT5-']
sheet.cell(column=5, row=new_row_location, value=causes_entered).alignment = center_aligned_text
elif event in '-IN6-':
notes_entered = values['-OUTPUT6-']
sheet.cell(column=6, row=new_row_location, value=notes_entered)```oh
its not even a function
this gui framework is strange
you should be able to put the new_row_location line right betweenif event=='Submit': and wb.save('Hospital QNs_Status.xlsx')
dire sinew
well, i'm new to all of this, just started learning 3 weeks ago
eager beacon
if I'm understanding everything
well honestly you dodged a bullet by steering clear of tkinter
dire sinew
i started on tkinter, and then discovered pysimplegui
eager beacon
horrible docs and a weird api makes for a difficult learning process for people who are just starting out
well now you know about pyqt5!
or pyside2
i'm not picky!
they are exactly the same for every reason you would care about
dire sinew
ok i will move the new row location
eager beacon
try entering 2 different entries after to see if it worked or not
dire sinew
nice
it works
that was so much simpler than what i was trying to do
thank you so much!
digital rose
is it possible to make a button in tkinter to make a while loop that never ends, UNLESS they press a stop button or something that stops the app with:
quit()
is it possible to do something like that?
glad adder
just asign the quit() function to a button
digital rose
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
Button(root,text="Quit",command=quit).pack()
root.mainloop()
yes
digital rose
yeah
digital rose
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
Button(root,text="Quit",command=quit).pack()
root.mainloop()
@digital rose can't you do like do mainloop() instead of root.mainloop()?
whats the diferrence?
inner nest
mainloop() is a method of your tkinter application, you need to associate this method with his object. The method allows basically the application to receive informations/events from the mouse and keyboard @digital rose
inner nest
One application Tk() can have multiple runtime Toplevel() child windows. You need to call mainloop only once. Mainloop() is listenning to events like open a new window, destroy a window, click a button....

Hi, I m new into python programming and i would like to know if anybody uses a simillar software as scenebuilder (java) but for python tkinter ?
i heard of Page, is it efficient or you prefer the "good old way"?
obtuse pumice
Qt question:
I'm displaying numbers inside a QSpinBox, but is it possible to set length of numbers? So 0 = 00000000 and 1 = 00000001 and 2 = 00000002
The SN field should always have 8 digits inside of it
Leading zeros

@digital rose ?
yeap
@digital rose can't you do like do mainloop() instead of root.mainloop()?
@digital rose If you have one window makeroot.mainloop()but If you have multiple windows you will make justmainloop().
yeap
@digital rose I think there is software help you make programs layout in python
but everything in script is better
okay thx for your answer
you're welcome

hi, I'm using a tkinter GUI and pyinstaller, but whem I close the window the app still running in task manager, so many times as I open it, aways will open another one and I need to finish the process by hand, one by one
how can I close it from the script?
already tried sys.exit()
crystal sentinel
hmm i just use exit() by itself
narrow condor
I got an error
crystal sentinel
oof
narrow condor
can't run script, something like that
crystal sentinel
hmm can you send the problem code?
crystal sentinel
wierd, where are you using the exit()?
narrow condor
last line
after mainloop()
oh I think I figured out
there is a Thread in my script
I commented the Thread.start() and it finished
crystal sentinel
ahh ok
void nest
I don't think that's possible with threading
Well not directly
You've got to do something with daemons
that's one reason why I started using multi-processing instead of threading
crystal sentinel
sorry to interrupt, my tkinter thing is kinda messin
I have a button that i press in the LoginPage class that then calls checkLogin
Then i have a label in MenuPage that i want to change to "second str"
but when i call setUserInfo from checkLogin the tkinter varibales doesn't update, its still "first str"
class LoginPage(Frame):
def checkLogin(self,controller):
caller = MenuPage(self,controller)
caller.setUserInfo()
class MenuPage(Frame):
def __init__(self,parent,controller):
self.infoVar = StringVar(parent)
self.infoVar.set("first str")
label1 = Label(self,textvariable = self.infoVar)
label1.pack()
def setUserInfo(self):
self.infoVar.set("second str")
heres the sample code, any ideas why infoVar isn't changing to "second str"?
narrow condor
that's one reason why I started using multi-processing instead of threading
@void nest thx, I will look for it
and thx @crystal sentinel

Anyone know how to convert new_time to 12 hour time?
Current output
setDisplayFormat does not work
eager beacon
what did you try @silk basin
silk basin
@eager beacon currently writing a function to convert my 24 hour time to 12 hour time
eager beacon
but whats the problem?
silk basin
I thought there would be a function already built in python to simple convert that time to a 12 hour time format
silk basin
yeah I literally just finished writing a function to do it for me
@staticmethod
def convert12(str1):
time = ""
# Get Hours
h1 = ord(str1[0]) - ord('0')
h2 = ord(str1[1]) - ord('0')
hh = h1 * 10 + h2
# Finding out the Meridien of time
# ie. AM or PM
Meridien = ""
if (hh < 12):
Meridien = "AM"
else:
Meridien = "PM"
hh %= 12
# Handle 00 and 12 case separately
if (hh == 0):
# print("12", end="")
time = "12"
# Printing minutes and seconds
for i in range(2, 5):
# print(str[i], end="")
time = time + str1[i]
else:
# print(hh, end="")
time = time + str(hh)
# Printing minutes and seconds
for i in range(2, 5):
# print(str1[i], end="")
time = time + str1[i]
return time + " " + Meridien
lol
silk basin
was that useless
eager beacon
100%
eager beacon
print(new_time.time().toString("h:mm:ss ap"))
when you called time())
you were not referencing QDateTImeEdit anymore
its a QTime object
setDisplayFormat only affects what you see in the UI I think
silk basin
holly crap I couldnt find any documentation on taht
you are a wizard
PyQt and I have a love hate relationship when it comes to its documentation
silk basin
I looked at both :/
eager beacon
also, never ever ever write your own date time code
there is a 99.999999% chance you will mess it up
silk basin
figures lol
eager beacon
date time stuff is some of the trickiest stuff to progeram correctly
silk basin
you wouldn't happen to know how to make the am/pm Capitalized with one of your ingenious 1 liners ?
eager beacon
I'm sure you're a lot quicker to write code now than you were a month ago, right?
silk basin
It is insane how big it is
eager beacon
it's because its used in embeded iot stuff, and digital dash boards and 10000 other things other than a desktop app
its like an OS in a box almost
silk basin
That is insane
silk basin
It is coming along real nice
yeah it is a semester long project. Like the Professor literally just said "create a note taking app"
so thats what I have been up too
eager beacon
how did you all decide to store the notes?
silk basin
I decided to do it in QSettings
it was very simple
once I figured it out. Everything you input into QSettings is key'd
and it has a very convenient "retreive keys" function
silk basin
yep
silk basin
yep
silk basin
when we finish project for our final submission Ill make my github repository public and let you download the executable
silk basin
so you can see source code and how everything works. It will also have detailed documentation.
Oh lmao
eager beacon
sounds good
silk basin
getting the exectuable working is impossible
pyinstaller is the dumbest thing I have ever messed with
silk basin
we are just having lots of compatablity issues
silk basin
we are on 3.8 :/
eager beacon
pyinstaller that is
you have to do a ton of stupid stuff to get it working in 3.8
I honestly don't even remember what they are
but its well worth downgrading python to avoid the hassle and googling
silk basin
would there be any issues downgrading?
eager beacon
not unless you're using some feature that was added in 3.8
silk basin
okay cool
silk basin
Yeah it is kinda amazing
Ill relay the information back to my members
you have been so much help. The projects final submission is due tuesday
thursday*
eager beacon
oh
can you use libraries ?
or are they restricted?
if you can you should take a look at this
instantly make the app look better with like 3 lines of code
silk basin
we can use that and I have looked into it but we didn't know if that would work
how could we implelent that?
eager beacon
its literally only this
silk basin
So that would just go in our main?
eager beacon
yes
eager beacon
its the easiest thing you can do to improve the ui
silk basin
^
eager beacon
pip install qtmodern
silk basin
i like the second option better
okay ill try it in a bit
@eager beacon
This is how my teammembers have this set up
eager beacon
what does APP do?
there aren't a ton of great reasons to subclass QApplication
either way
silk basin
Lol i gotta ask my team members I literalyl have no clue. They changed all this last week
so this is something called app.py
and then in our main.py
^ this is the entire main file
so I think App is the whole program
eager beacon
I see
it's customary to name that something that makes sense
like MainWindow or Window
silk basin
yeah I don't know my teammebers do major refractors without me even knowing lol
its so random,
eager beacon
how do you guys divy up the work?
silk basin
Github issues
We have weakly meetings and decide on what issues we need to implement and then go from there
eager beacon
you can make the UI look a bit nicer if you want to set an app palette to override the button text color
or you can use a stylesheet
silk basin
One of our team members has had an internship for 2 years now so he is very 'professional' and our git hub is very organized. We use pylint and use code freezes idk hes going way to hard
eager beacon
I like to think of what a linter says as a suggestion 🙃
silk basin

alright, so i'm trying to make a responsive thingy, and this is what i've got
endx = shotgunbutton.winfo_x()

xbutton = button.winfo_x()
ybutton = button.winfo_y()
button.place(x=xbutton-diffrence, y=ybutton, anchor=tk.NW)```
shotgunbutton = rightmost buttonIt is possible to change the titlebar color in pyqt? jut the color of titillebar without affecting it's buttons?
inland notch
but only the bottom buttons move and the shotgun button moves?
is there like a way to track how much to window changes size?
eager beacon
@digital rose you have to make your own window from a frameless widget to do something like that because the windows are controlled by the OS
eager beacon
pretty neat for tkinter
inland notch

Hi, quick question: I've been using the bar and Labels from ipywidgets to keep track of long computational tasks. But I see that sometimes things "lose rhythm". Does the update of ipywidgets compromise the computational performance?
inland notch
@inland notch can you make it for mac too?
@velvet garden I don't think I can lol
did you use only tkinter for that?
@modern marsh for the gui? yeah. but I used pygame for the audio because tkinter can't do audio
eager beacon
@uncut pawn I don't know about tkinter well enough but assuming it has some sort of callback behavior you should be able to import 2 into 1 and connect a callback from whatever triggers the button to be created
eager beacon
@uncut pawn most people in this channel judging by the huge number of questions about it

Anyone know how to store the click of a button as a string?
digital rose
what do you mean
a button state is bool not string
do you mean store the input of a text feild onclick?
@granite drum
granite drum
idk
im new to this
but yeah i need to store the input onclick
@digital rose
for example theres a numpad on screen and i need to record data thats typed into it
digital rose
okay what are you using? it it just pure javascript?
or are you using python backend?
usually what I would do for that is add an id to the tag of the input text
and get it dynamically in javascript code
@granite drum

@granite drum how’d you get your video to be so smooth and HD
digital rose
I'm not so good at tkinter which is what I assume you're using
@digital rose I know a lot of tkinter
any question about tkinter just ask me
@granite drum how’d you get your video to be so smooth and HD
@ornate tapir he was recording using shadow play
this sortware for nividea cards only
Anyone know how to store the click of a button as a string?
@granite drum ?
store ?
You mean bool prop?
it's just call a function when it is clicked
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
root = Tk()
def clicked():
Label(text="clicked").pack()
btn = ttk.Button(root,
text="click me", # The text on the button
command=clicked) # This is for call fumction when it's clicked
btn.pack()
root.mainloop()
Output:
Output when it's clicked:
and as you see I can re click the button and I will have this:
call the func when it's click one time
re click = re call the function
there is another ways to call the function
there is the .bind and more
but the command option is easier and good
@granite drum

Hey - I have the following problem:
My group and I, we need to program a software artifact, evaluating people based on text passages provided in an online assesment tool.
We already considered naive bayes but are still looking for an applicable algorithm.
We are focusing on the character traits "openess" & "neuroticsm" (read from unstructured text)
We will conduct a survey in order to conduct a dataset - because there are not enough german sets for training the algorithm.
We want to include regx, looked already at nlp-algorithms, but we aren't sure, which algorithm is the best one to integrate (in terms of time, ressources and difficulty)
The Project needs to be finished in january.
Looking forward to your feedback! 🙂
digital rose
hi
You mean you want a software like the discord software ? @livid zodiac
online chat ?
livid zodiac
More of an applicant online assesment. So Company XYZ offers a position. Person applies. And the algorithm checks the text provided by the applicant for character traits like openeness
e.g. He / She writes: "... I like to go out with friends", the algorithm ranks it as "Openess" and ranks the applicant for 4/5 openenss
someway like that
digital rose
ah
I know now
Algorithm
I'm no thing at algorithm
you have very advanced problem
sorry I don't know the solution
but this channel is not for Algorithm
livid zodiac
thanks alot!

this to make some transparent
inland notch
how do i make an alpha brick?
digital rose
make a function
sec
I will send the code
root.wm_attributes("-transparent", True)
root.config(bg='systemTransparent')
then add it for the bg of the button
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.wm_attributes("-transparent", True)
root.config(bg='systemTransparent')
btn_flat = Button(root,text="Click me",relief='flat',bd=0,bg="systemTransparent")
btn_flat.pack()
root.mainloop()
Windows
inland notch
Can you do it for windows?
digital rose
yeah I think
inland notch
do you
know how?
digital rose
in wndows no
but
you can make the window alpha
root.attributes("-alpha", 0.5)
in windows
digital rose
cool
but that's not what I want to do lol
@inland notch ah okay
there is articl for that
saying
Tkinter frame transparent background
Transparent background in a Tkinter window, There is no cross-platform way to make just the background transparent in tkinter. You just cannot set the transparency of the frame in tkinter. But you can set the transparency of the whole window with root.attributes ('-alpha', 0.5) You can also do root.attributes ("-transparentcolor", "red") if you are using Windows, but again it will be applied to the whole window.
in tkinter i put this string on the screen
but it shows like this
how can i fix that?
even if i remove the buttons, its still like that...
