Hi guys i was wandering if there is any good books about Pyqt5? Im really running out of recourses
eager beacon
There is a PyQt4 book by Mark Summerfield, it's the best book on working with Qt in Python available.
If you have the basics of PyQt5 down, you can easily translate the few differences that you come across. The biggest differences are importing widgets from QtWidgets instead of QtGui and Signals/Slot syntax.
@strange hornet
eager beacon
There are 2 fairly new PyQt5 books:
https://www.learnpyqt.com/pyqt5-book/ - This one is fairly basic but has some good information if you're new to PyQt
https://build-system.fman.io/pyqt5-book#! - I haven't seen this one, but the author has a popular paid app with a PyQt GUI and he has also created a great tool for turning PyQt apps into .dmg/exe files https://github.com/mherrmann/fbs
The best resource of all is the Qt C++ documentation:https://doc.qt.io/qt.html.
Even if you don't know C++ most of the docs are super easy to translate into Python. As far as translating goes, its mostly replacing :: and -> with .. But if you want to be able to translate the answers you'll find when searching on StackOverflow, you can follow the tutorial here: https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/tutorials/portingguide/index.html

So after a central widget has been replaced and then I try setting the same class object of the widget to be the central widget again.

Welcome. So what's the Tkinter issue you are having?

Ok, Tkinter needs to start with a root window.

root = Tk()
topframe = Frame(root)
topframe.pack()
bottomframe = Frame(root)
bottomframe.pack(side=BOTTOM)
button1 = Button(topFrame, text="Button 1", fg="red")

button3 = Button(topFrame, text="Button 3", fg="green")
button4 = Button(bottomFrame, text="Button 4", fg="purple")
button1.pack()
button2.pack()
button3.pack()
button4.pack()
root.mainloop()
This is what I have it is very simple but I am trying to learn
dusty scarab
So from what I'm seeing, Python is Case sensitive and you aren't using proper case. topframe != topFrame
dusty scarab
That was an easy one. My problem stems from trying to use variables both in and out of functions.
If you can solve that, I can move onto other things.

https://www.youtube.com/c/Codemycom/videos
That youtube channel has TONS on how to use Tkinter in various different ways as well as layout tips. My project is essentially a text editor. I have a Status bar at the bottom that stays fixed to the bottom and grows side to side. The main editor window above the status bar gets resized in all directions but always stays above the status bar. The only way I was able to accomplish this was to add the main editor window AFTER the status bar.
digital rose
Thank you. Would you mind if I DM you for future questions?
dusty scarab
Lets stick to this for now.
digital rose
Got it

@dusty scarab How do I make a start button to run my code?

How do I make the command equal the whole function?

Thanks again!
dusty scarab
I'll warn you in advance. Most of what I've learned about TKinter is from https://www.youtube.com/c/Codemycom/videos
surreal whale
Fair enough
I'm all self-taught online tbh, so still worth a shot
I'm having issues with closing a Tkinter application. Traditionally, I've used the root.quit() / root.destroy() method for terminating the Tkinter app.
I realize that the root.quit() method stops the mainloop but doesn't necessarily destroy any of the objects associated with root and destroy() completes the root.quit() tasks and subsequently destroys all objects.
dusty scarab
The Tkinter app I'm developing uses only root.quit() in the menus
surreal whale
However, I'm using this package called Tksheet and it seems that after I try to stop the mainloop using the .quit() command or .destroy() command the refresh method for the tksheet object is still looping (independent of the mainloop?) and it throws a bunch of reference errors.
yeah I mean historically I've never had any issues simply using root.quit()
dusty scarab
Maybe you need to consider using .hide() instead?
surreal whale
But this damn tksheet module refresh method seemingly fights the root.quit() mainloop canceling.
dusty scarab
Also, are you using threads by chance?
surreal whale
My interface isn't threaded, no
Unfortunately this project is tied to Tkinter for the foreseeable future.
I tried to switch over to wxPython but I didn't have time to rebuild the entire interface.
dusty scarab
I'm in need of a gui for my app. I've been told to look into Qt, but I'm also pretty invested into tkinter myself right now. Lots of good videos about it on the channel I specified. This is about where I am currently at with it:
https://github.com/ayourk/HostsManager/blob/main/hostsman.py
I think I'm having some variable scoping issues.
I'm relatively new to how to lay out the project, so any tips I can get are welcome.
Is there code on a github you could share about your project?
surreal whale
nope, it's commercial
dusty scarab
ok. Just checking.
I'm kind of wondering maybe there is some wierd .config() you could do to the spreadsheet module that would help with this.
surreal whale
Yeah I was reading through it
I just need to find out where the damn update loop is
Or find a way to disable it
dusty scarab
Is there some sort of .stop() command like with threads?
surreal whale
Not that I can find unfortunately
dusty scarab
Are sheet calculations set to automatic vs manual?
surreal whale
When I get some free time this week, I'll take a look at your github
I'm only self-taught though, so my tkinter skills aren't Bryan Oakley level or anything like that.
dusty scarab
Ping me here when you have the time.
Python is kicking my butt. I've done a fair amount of programming in other languages.
In my experience with spreadsheet software, there are a number of different things that could cause looping of some sort. Does the sheet support scripting? Auto calc could cause some sort of waiting event, etc. Maybe there is some sort of event loop that needs to be shut down manually? I don't know enough python to know if there is a way to shut down all events.
surreal whale
Yeah, I mean I think you're thinking pretty similar to how I'm thinking right now
Here is the package.
dusty scarab
That helps

Hey Guys, i need some help doing the GUI part for my current project. I am doing a backtracking visualisation for solving a sudoku using TKINTER. I have implemented the most part of if but cannot get the code to work on the visualisation part. I am linking the code part below and it would be helpful if you have a look
surreal whale
It doesn't seem like that old of a project, but I'm really digging it. IT's so much better than creating grids of entries and managing the cells pretty manually
dusty scarab
Hey Guys, i need some help doing the GUI part for my current project. I am doing...
Sounds like you need to use a grid layout. Have you looked at the Youtube videos in the channel I posted earlier? I think you may end up having to use canvas a lot or nested labels/frames.
surreal whale
And honestly, the only reason I'm trying to do this is because I can't seem to handle the tkinter.TclError by wrapping the root.quit() commands in a try / except catch
dusty scarab
Are you using PyCharm by chance for debugging?
surreal whale
Yeah I am
dusty scarab
Have you been monitoring the call stack?
surreal whale
Yep.
dusty token
Sounds like you need to use a grid layout. Have you looked at the Youtube video...
I have done all the grid part using canvas and it is working as expected. The part i am struggling with is the program has to put one number each on to the canvas at a time. I have linked the code and i need help in the view_solution functionn
dusty scarab
I know your app may not be threaded, but is there a way to see active threads/processes in PyCharm?
surreal whale
That's a good question actually
I've always monitored threads programmatically instead of using any type of built-in element in Pycharm
dusty scarab
Maybe something with the python process properties or something like that. Kind of like how in DOS there is something called a non maskable interrupt, etc and where some of the overrides happen, etc.
dusty scarab
Commercial app, should be able to get you funding.
surreal whale
Well when I said "commercial" I more meant internal / proprietary
not a public product
dusty scarab
Still, means the same thing to me.
surreal whale
Yeah I need to stop being cheap and get professional at some point
God knows that thread feature would've probably paid off tenfold by now
dusty scarab
Unfortunately I don't have a well paying job for this, so I'm just using VS Code for now.
surreal whale
Well, Pycharm community has been great for me
dusty scarab

Yeah thanks
dusty scarab
So is the issue that you can't seem to limit the proper values in each 9-grid?
dusty token
No, i click play puzzle and then view solution, the canvas should show the number in the canvas grid
but it is not doing it. Instead it updates the solution at the end of the execution
instead i want to see each and every updated number in the grid
this link has a short video of what i am trying to achieve
dusty scarab
I did notice that my output console went crazy once I clicked that button.
dusty token
yeah remove the print statements there, i used them to try and debug the code
dusty scarab
So is the "View Solution" supposed to do something similar to what the "Solution" button does?
dusty token
view solution button should show something similar to the video in the link i sent
dusty scarab
This reminds me of the Knights Tour problem.
dusty token
any suggestions on how to implement these steps?
dusty scarab
Looking.
dusty token
okay ๐
dusty scarab
First of all, you gotta walk me through the data structure/layout a bit. Do keep the handles of each 9x9 canvas cell so you can call each one individually?
dusty token
No i use a 2d array to put the data in
and i use some geometrical measurements to call the create number on the canvas page
dusty scarab
I would keep a grid array of each cell canvas handle so you can .config() it after it is created.
This would allow you to call an individual cell and do something like cell[x][y].config(text=f"{number}" background="green") or something similar.
dusty token
yeah i understand that. I thought managing one canvas over 81 canvas objects is better so i did the project with one canvas
dusty scarab
You can have nested objects. That large canvas can your root for these solution canvases
dusty token
then i called the number = self.canvas.create_text(x,y, text=i, fill="sea green") on the canvas to output the number on to the canvas
at this point i want to try and fix the single canvas. rather than rewriting my code entirely
Thanks for your suggestion though. I will keep that in mind for the future
dusty scarab
Also, I suggest making that "View Solution" button threaded since it will process for a long time.
dusty token
i am using a time.sleep() to visualise what is going on in the program. If we remove that, it is pretty fast. if necessary, i will implement the threading functionality there
surreal whale
@dusty scarab finally got it. Forced a refresh on the tksheet.Sheet widget right before I destroyed the entire root of the Tkinter app with root.destroy() and then no odd traceback.
I probably should msg the guy maintaining it or something.
When I get some time over the next couple days I'll take a longer peek at what you posted. Just looking at the portion so far I had a slew of ideas that will help organize everything sensibly.
dusty scarab
Thanks. I've committed my latest iteration to github, even if it isn't the greatest. At least it is up to date.

I know you already found a solution to your issue, but I wanted to bring to your attention an alternative to your spreadsheet lib:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6-HG0FJPsQ
surreal whale
Thanks for the thought. I saw that. However, the big benefit to tksheet is that you can subvert Excel all-together. I generally use embedded-style sheets to display tabular data with a cleaner organization than simple text that's spaced out. Then, I can always export with pandas / xlsxwriter or other options like that.
The embedded sheets also allow the users to input / modify values without opening another program or anything like that, so manual intervention + convenience there.
dusty scarab
As a side note: I did eventually fix my issue too. I did a complete rewrite and reorganizing of the code. I finally got debugging to work in VSCode via Jupyter and found the issue.
surreal whale
Oh nice. Yeah some of the initial thoughts I had looking at it is that I would've separated your GUI elements completely from other areas such as your SQLite db work
I think that would've helped off the bat in maintaining / modifying / unit testing / figuring out your issue / improving in the future
dusty scarab
That SQLite DB stuff was just a placeholder for ideas on how to work with the plain text columns I was going to introduce.
surreal whale
Yeah that's fair.
dusty scarab
Just committed my most current revision after watching a few more videos. If you have any recommendations of code layout other than what I've already done. I'm listening.
surreal whale
Another comment is using pack + grid as layout managers can certainly cause issues if they're in the same frames
dusty scarab
Right now, it is a really capable text editor as is.
surreal whale
I would stick to pack or grid if possible
If it works now, of course, that's entirely up to you. But, if you intend on expanding down the line, you may find that things start to break in unpredictable ways when the layout managers wage war.
dusty scarab
I will be adding the underlying processing so that the /etc/hosts files can be merged without dupes and special comments added to the end of each line.
For the most part, I use pack. The status bar is a grid just because that is what seems to make sense in order to organize the elements along 1 line.
I'd love for there to be a way I could make the last column span the remaining parts of the gridded status bar.
Nested elements can be great if used properly.
surreal whale
Can't you change that through columnconfigure ?
Changing the weight applied to the columns in your frame?
dusty scarab
If there is a columnconfigure then I'm not aware of it and probably need to dig through the 3.8.5 docs.
surreal whale
Yeah, it's never very smooth for me, but it can accomplish your goals with some trial and error I believe. You execute it on the frame. The syntax is usually tk.Grid.columnconfigure(insert_frame_here, col_num, weight=weight_num)
dusty scarab
The good thing about your tksheet issue is that the project is on Github and filing a proper issue for it won't be difficult. Also allows you to browse through the issues to see if anyone else encountered this issue.
surreal whale
Yeah, I was about to file the issue, but I wanted to figure out what loop was associated with the constant refresh.
Which requires more reading
dusty scarab
Being able to present a solution is more valuable than presenting a problem.
surreal whale
Yep

Most Tkinter apps have a root window defined via root = Tk() and related imports on tkinter.
dusty scarab
When you remove 1 item, you start getting a domino effect of errors telling what other code depends on it. You can use this to your advantage.
digital rose
how?!!?
dusty scarab
If you remove the imports, you will find what lines depend on those tkinter imports. Thus telling more likely what code needs to be removed when it is ran via the errors.

Hi guys. What job or path for studying GUI programming will I take if I focus on it?
like for example - web development is for web developer. How about GUI?
eager beacon
You need to know C++ for general GUI work as there aren't many companies out there using Python for desktop GUI software.
Another option would be to learn tools like Maya, Nuke, Houdini, etc and go work in a production studio as a Pipeline TD creating plugin tools with PySide2/PyQt for the artists.
Even at the studios, they prefer that you're able to write/understand C++ since that is what a lot of their internal tools use that you may have to interface with in your GUI.

Why need to pass line argument when you create an app?
"The QApplication object also deals with common command line arguments, so you also need to pass in sys.argv as an argument when you create app"
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
How would i know if the application doesn't need to accept line arguments?
" If your application is not going to accept command line arguments, then you can use an empty list"
app = QApplication([])

Hi guys I am trying to understand tkinter ui and how the positioning works.
frame1 = tk.Frame(master=window, width=100, bg="red")
frame1.pack(fill=tk.Y)
I expect the frame to be centered and occupy the whole height of the window but that does not happen.
For some reason the height is very small.
Why is that happening?
Thank you,
Nic
if i change side=tk.LEFT, then it outputs as wanted

PySide2 question: Anyway to switch central widget without python deleting the old central widget?
eager beacon
save a reference to it somewhere like a list?
It sounds like you might be able to use a StackedWidget, have you considered that? @ruby pawn
ruby pawn
I am actually trying out the stacked widget atm
My only issue with using stacked widget is I'd like the window to have size policy based on the current widget
Which is what I'm trying to figure out atm
But the only examples of this I have found is in C++ and I suck at translating C++ to Python (PySide2)
eager beacon
So you want the windows to have the ability to change sizes when the central widget changes?
or only the size policy?
ruby pawn
When I used the central widget, the minimum height and width would correspond to the widget displayed in the window.
When using stacked widgets, the minimum height and width corresponds to the tallest and widest widget in the stack.
I'd like stacked widgets to function like switching central widgets.
(My problem is switching central widgets back and forth has a habit of crashing Autodesk Maya)
eager beacon
you could just call main_window.resize(w,h) when you switch the index
ruby pawn
I could give it a shot
Well, seems like it pretty much ignores main_window.resize(w, h)
But to clarify, it doesn't need to resize when I switch. I just don't want a lot of empty space vertically when Using the smaller widget
These are the two widgets I'm switching between
And I just want to be able to resize my window down to hide this
eager beacon
if you have a minimum size set you wont be able to resize any smaller than that size until you change it
ruby pawn
It is a little time since I've been working with Pyside last. Do QWidgets have a minimum and maximum height and width?
So it isn't size policy I'd have to deal with?
eager beacon
they do, but if you haven't changed them it shouldn't have any effect
ruby pawn
But I should be able to force the minimum height of the stacked widget, with the minimum height of the widget inside the stacked widget. If I'm understanding correctly
eager beacon
a size policy of maximum or fixed is probably what you're looking for, though if you use the fixed policy you need to update that when you change widgets I believe
I think the issue is the stacked widget has a policy of preferred and it keeps that extra space at the bottom because the original widget still exists
so you may need to call resize on the stacked instead of main
ruby pawn
Okay, I'll give it a shot
I connected this up to the stacked widget switching widget signal
But no luck
eager beacon
the minimum height has probably been set to the height of stacked widget
use some random numbers to see if it works
eager beacon
what happens if you comment the policy line above out?
its helpful to set a background color that stands out against the grey so you can see if its being resized and the main window is not
ruby pawn
The window size doesn't change. It doesn't affect the smaller widget, but the larger widget gets smushed.
eager beacon
so the stacked widget changes size but the mainwindow stays
eager beacon
odd, that function is called when you switch to either widget?
eager beacon
I can test when I get back, but you could try setMaximumSize(QSize(w,h))
if that works, you can try using the current widget.sizeHint().width()/height() for the w,h
ruby pawn
Okay I'll give that a shot in a moment
While I do have, do you have any idea why launching the code a second time will crash Maya?
eager beacon
alright - I'll check back when I get home.
ruby pawn
Ah alright
eager beacon
No, I really don't. I've really only messed with creating shelf stuff in Maya
ruby pawn
Alright thanks
ruby pawn
Well, crash issue seems to be solved. Apparently it was using the same spacer multiple times, making a mess with the communication between Python and C++
eager beacon
What are you using a spacer for?
ruby pawn
Anyway, creating 4 separate spacers with same dimensions solved the issue
Which also means, it solved my issue switching the central widget. Which means I don't have an issue with stacked widgets.
eager beacon
Oh, well thats good to hear.
ruby pawn
Yep, but thanks for the help again Chris
eager beacon
any time

I don't think you will need any more script
but there is no error
so why?

In tkinter, is there a way for a command= function to figure out the widget that...
I don't really know what you mean by not using class based python, but functions bound using bind will have a single event parameter passed in which has a .widget attribute, which identifies the source widget.
If you mean command= as in the callback for buttons, you would need to create a lambda like
def callback(w):
print(f"I was called from widget {w}")
bt = tk.Button(master, text="Click me!")
bt.configure(command=lambda: callback(bt._w))
bt.pack()
(Where _w is the autogenerated path name of the button that can identify it)

when you made 'Hello, World!' and you ran the program you saw a window that is not pleasing to the eye and displays text only, right? if answer == 'Yes': so to fix that you will make your program easy to use and pleasing to the eye with a window that displays the text and images in a nice way that any average human can intract with so this the user interface in theory if we kept only the necessary code that runs Google Chrome and deleted the other codes that are related to the ui chrome will run in the command prompt and will be only text

here I defined 2 entries with tkinter.
and here I also wrote a function to add these entries to the listbox and database.
I tested it with print to check if it was written, but neither get() nor get() you return the values PY_VAR0 and PY_VAR1.
dusty scarab
using a command= may be of use to copy that data to where you need it to go.
dusty scarab
Yeah, using a callback entry with something like a button or something like [SEND]

You should assign (without call) a method for the command parameter
Option1: Probably you can use lambda:
btn1 = Button(mergeWindow, text = "Seleccionar", relief = RAISED, bg = "#000000", fg = "#FAFAFA", font = ("Helvetica", 9), activebackground = "#11B0D8", command = lambda: openFiles(1))
Option2: create an "event handler"
openFiles(1)```and assign to the command parameter:
btn1 = Button(mergeWindow, text = "Seleccionar", relief = RAISED, bg = "#000000", fg = "#FAFAFA", font = ("Helvetica", 9), activebackground = "#11B0D8", command = btn1_click)
