I've also been looking into Ren'Py considering I'm doing gamedev. Seems like it might be entirely possible to not use it for its intended purpose, and instead just use it to display text and have interactable buttons and whatnot

If you really want to code something easy, tkinter is nice enough. You can get it to be a bit more advanced if you put a little extra thought into it. Most people consider tkinter too primitive.

red sapphire What is the general consensus on Kivy, for beginners?

I think you should still go with PySide and Qt Designer though

red sapphire Feb 24, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

I watched the comparison video that was posted here a while ago and figured that Kivy would be simpler to pick up (made it sound like Qt has a lot of complication and some C++ leftovers). Also it seems like Kivy is easier to make cross-platform especially with mobile?

#

Qt definitely seems powerful but I think my main thing is keeping the learning curve small

yeah , go for kivy then!

Does anyone know how to overwrite a default QSS of a QPushButton without resetting the entire stylesheet? Windows 10 has a nice looking default button design, but I wanna change only the background of it to be transparent, but when I do that, it resets the entire stylesheet.

#

I want something that looks like this:

#

and when you hover, you get this:

#

right now I get this for my GUI

#

I wanna make the background transparent

#

(without affecting all the other stuff)

dusty scarab Feb 24, 2021, 6:45 PM

#

I don't know anything about Qt, but is there some sort of alpha/gamma setting from 0 to 1 to set transparency?

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

Why don't you set the bg color to the same color as the widget that contains them?

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

I can do that?! Hold on lemme try

#

that looks like it freezes the buttons

#

no animations, no hover colour/animation, nothing

#

just makes the background transparent for the widget the buttons are in and freezes them, they're stuff functional, they can still do things

#

but they're like "dead" if you know what I mean

dusty scarab Feb 24, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

Isn't there some sort of Z setting in the layout? Kind of like some form of layering stating which item is on top, bottom etc for the same X/Y

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

Qt doesn't work quite like that. What needs to happen is an additional entry in the stylesheet to address the hover functionality.

#

QPushButton::hover{background:rgb(200,200,255);}

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

Also: 3 questions

#

Is there a way to animate the hover background, like instead of changing the background as soon as the mouse hovers over the button, it kinda like fades in

#

How do I underline a specific character of a QPushButton, like the first letter

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 6:57 PM

#

1 QProperty Animation

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 6:57 PM

#

How do I make a QPushButton that does nothing but bring down a drop down menu (with another button thing with an arrow pointing down that is attached to the button)

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

2: add an & before the character you want to be underlined

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

as seen here

#

before the character? I thought it was after

#

but it doesn't matter, it doesn't work

#

it doesn't underline anything

#

which is weird

#

this on Qt Designer by the way

#

it could be giving the wrong preview

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 6:59 PM

#

So, do you understand what the underline indicates?

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

that it's a shortcut?

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

correct

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

Like underlined N on a button means Ctrl + N to activate this?

dusty scarab Feb 24, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

in tkinter it would be called an accellerator

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

you create shortcuts by setting text as &New

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

I have this though

#

is this not the right way?

#

I think Qt Designer is lying to me, I don't think it's giving the right preview

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

I've never done that in designer so I couldn't say

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

I'll try by code

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

why don't you run uic and find out

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

Well it still doesn't underline it

#

can you try it on your side real quick?

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

uhh, I guess

#

#

oh, I never answered #3

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

strange

#

doesn't work for me

#

can you send the code in text form

#

maybe other things in my GUI is messing it up

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

I'm not sure if you can do it with a qpushbutton, you can use a QToolButton and set a menu on that button with the actions you want

#

then set QToolButton.InstantPopup I guess as the popupMode for the button

#

haven't tested but I think thats how I did it before

#

what style() are you using for your app object?

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

wdym

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:12 PM

#

The application style.. I assume that means its default.

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:12 PM

#

probably

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:12 PM

#

try app.setStyle('Fusion')

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:12 PM

#

Oh Qt Designer has an option for Fusion style

#

I've seen that

#

it works for that

#

but not default

#

only fusion style

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:13 PM

#

well there you go

#

Oh... wait

#

I think I remember seeing a bug when I was using windows a while back

#

run your app and press shortcut once

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

Okay I pressed the shortcut

#

it acted like it clicked the button

#

but my cursor wasn't there

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

okay, still no underline though?

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

Nope, for default no

#

I don't know why it does that

#

but the shortcut works

#

the underline still is not there for some reason

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:16 PM

#

try clicking it first in default, then pressing the shortcut key

dusty scarab Feb 24, 2021, 7:16 PM

#

On Windows, there is a setting to "Always" show underlined characters. Usually in accessibility IIRC

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:16 PM

#

still nothing

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:16 PM

#

It was something weird I figured out like that to get them to show before just tweaking the stylesheet after using Fusion

#

hmm, well...

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:17 PM

#

I can just hard code it in right

#

by getting like a character that looks like the letter N but with an underline

#

a non ASCII character

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:17 PM

#

I wouldn't suggest doing that but I'm sure you could do something hacky like that

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:17 PM

#

well I don't have a choice

#

Maybe I have to do it

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:18 PM

#

hmm, you have the choice of using Fusion

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

Well as long as I can make it look windowsy style then sure

#

but transparent in fusion is dark

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

Again, why are you using transparent?

#

The border is whats causing the gradient effect your seeing

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:22 PM

#

I have to use transparent because the button is infront of a gradient

#

I can't put a colour behind it because it'll obtruct the gradient

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:23 PM

#

Oh, I couldn't see that from your screenshot

#

remove the border and then set a new one if the look you are going for needs one

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:26 PM

#

Why don't buttons have rich text???

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

No idea why you would need it

#

the text is only there to tell the user what should happen when its pressed

#

use QPainter and you can make it look like an alligator with rich text coming out of its mouth if you wanted to

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

do you know why editing the style sheet of css QCheckBox::indicator makes the check mark invisible?

eager beacon Feb 24, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

really its the same reason the hover went away on the button when you changed something. A new stylesheet was applied and you didn't supply an image of a checkmark for QCheckBox::indicator:checked

ionic moat Feb 24, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

Wait so I have to load my own image?

#

what's the rule thing called

#

like I have to set to a url right?

#

  def getPath(self, DirPath):

  def pathEntryBox(self):
    self.DirPath = None;
    self.Path = tk.Entry(self.window, width = 100);
    self.Path.pack(padx = 0, pady = 0, side = TOP);

    self.PathButton.pack(padx = 0, pady = 0);
    self.DirPath = self.Path.get();

I'm trying to get the input of an entry box when a button is clicked, but im a bit confused how to do it. getPath() and pathEntryBox() are in the same class so i can't call getPath() using ...command = getPath())...

dusty scarab Feb 26, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

To get the text from an entry box, it should be as simple of just Entry.get()

#

And you can always use command=lambda: somefunc(params)

obsidian hare Feb 26, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

What does the lambda do? Also Im not sure how to call the function when the button is pressed because you cant call a function that is defined in the same class as you caled it in i dont think

Also, watch some of the videos at https://www.youtube.com/c/Codemycom/videos since he uses lambda: all the time in his videos.

Granted, they aren't exactly OOP orientated, but you should get a general idea.

obsidian hare Feb 26, 2021, 11:37 AM

#

 self.PathButton = tk.Button(self.window, text = "Enter", command = lambda: getPath(self.DirPath));

Err:

    return self.func(*args)
  File "main.py", line 23, in <lambda>
    self.PathButton = tk.Button(self.window, text = "Enter", command = lambda: getPath(self.DirPath));
NameError: name 'getPath' is not defined

I defined getPath() directly above the current function

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pydis.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

dusty scarab Feb 26, 2021, 11:54 AM

#

Don't you have to do `lambda: getPath(self, self.Dirpath)?

obsidian hare Feb 26, 2021, 11:56 AM

#

i dont think you need to for calling a function?

dusty scarab Feb 26, 2021, 11:58 AM

#

I realize when it comes to OOP, my code doesn't qualify so my perspective comes from that of a procedural background. Try using:

def getPath(self, DirPath="/some/fake/path"):```
to see if that is all it is.

#

That way, you are specifying a default value for the 2nd param and if you see "/some/fake/path" as output, you know you aren't passing params correctly.

obsidian hare Feb 26, 2021, 12:02 PM

#

i just get the same error

   return self.func(*args)
  File "main.py", line 23, in <lambda>
    self.PathButton = tk.Button(self.window, text = "Enter", command = lambda: getPath(self.DirPath));
NameError: name 'getPath' is not defined

dusty scarab Feb 26, 2021, 12:03 PM

What about lambda: self.getPath(...)?

obsidian hare Feb 26, 2021, 12:04 PM

#

yea now it's outputting a blankspace

dusty scarab Feb 26, 2021, 12:04 PM

#

a missing self screws one's self

#

In your __init__, try setting self.DirPath equal to some bogus value to see if that changes anything.

obsidian hare Feb 26, 2021, 12:06 PM

same output

Ok, So I want to use Micropython on an ESP32 to run an interface with a rotary encoder. The problem I have is I can't seem to quite wrap my head around the logic in the code to set something like this up. Any ideas?

#

I have coded in Python for a while. It's just this particular concept just seems to not quite click in my head.

#

I can figure the setting up of each of the screens, and most times just one screen is pretty easy to set up with a couple of buttons, but it's switching to another screen and the code still working that I can't quite figure.

#

Most of the other programs I have written use some sort of module that handles the switching between screens for me. Such as a web server you just write each page and link buttons to another page, or in pysimplegui, it has a way to handle that as well. It's just I'm having to write the code myself this time, and I don't quite get how it works.

Hey guys! I have a 3D array (both as numpy and as list) which has 1's or 0's if there's a cube (voxel) there. I checked this topic on stack-overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44825276/visualizing-a-3d-numpy-array-of-1s-and-0s) and implement matplotlib to my project but it has got no interactive as you know. Is there any module suggestion for this?

vPython: I tried vpython, it works on my machine but depends on lots of additional modules I want less (in case I can't achieve my goal, I'll use it)
Mayavi: It is perfect but I couldn't install/run PyQt5 because of a problem I've mentioned in Qt forums here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/124252/symbol-lookup-error-lib-x86_64-linux-gnu-libqt5xcbqpa-so-5-undefined-symbol-_zn22qwindowsysteminterface24setplatformfilterseventseb
Glumpy: I checked it and it's so much powerful but hard to understand and implement. Actually, I don't want to spend that much of time to that project.
VisPy: I tried it with a backend of Qt, Wx or SDL2. When I tried to test it with vispy.test() it gives me an error which says there's no backend.
VTK: Same as glumpy, I think it's harder then Glumpy.

This is not good to make a window usually Tk() and for the other windows is Toplevel()

chilly bear Which module is best for user interfaces?

it depends on your level of knowledge of python
if you are a beginner go with Tkinter
intermediate and above you can go with PyQt5 KiviMD etc.

bright ravine hi in pyqt5 designer how do i add an video also its its not possible in that i...

I almost never use the designer so I only know how to do this in code. You need to create a QMediaPlayer object along with a QVideoWidget(). Code it something like so:

#Specific imports
from PyQt5 import QtMultimedia as qtmm
from PyQt5 import QtMultimediaWidgets as qtmmw

#Making the widgets
self.player = qtmm.QMediaPlayer()
self.video_widget = qtmmw.QVideoWidget()
self.player.setVideoOutput(self.video_widget)

#Ways to call it
play_act.triggered.connect(self.player.play)
pause_act.triggered.connect(self.player.pause)
stop_act.triggered.connect(self.player.stop)

the code above is not complete, it simply shows you the basics of playing video.

Hey guys, I am using Tkinter, and I need to run a loop where I store the attendance status of each student into a database. To mark the attendance of each student, I am trying to loop the student name and a tkinter.entry widget in which the attendance is entered. However, as the number of students keep changing, I will need a variable number of variables to store the attendance value i got from the tkinter.entry widget. I tried doing this def markatt(): conn = sqlite3.connect('attendance_mgmt.db') c = conn.cursor() att = tk.Tk() c.execute('SELECT student_name FROM student') studentnames = c.fetchall() i = 0 j = 0 print(studentnames) att_values = {} l = len(att_values) for students in studentnames: att_values[student] = 'Unknown' for students in studentnames: for j in range(len(students)): tk.Label(att, text= students).grid(row = i, column = 0) att_values[student] = tk.Entry(att) att_values[i].grid(row = i, column = 1) i = i+1 tk.Button(att, text = "Submit", command = lambda: SubmitAtt()).grid(row = 0, column = 3) conn.commit() conn.close() To no success as i get the following error - IndexError: list assignment index out of range. This is because tk.Entry doesnt have a value. I am not sure how to be able to solve this problem I have and hope i can get some help. Thanks!!

        j = 0
        print(studentnames)
        att_values = []
        val = ''
        l = len(att_values)
        for students in studentnames:
                for j in range(len(students)):
                        tk.Label(att, text= students).grid(row = i, column = 0)
                        val = att_values.append(tk.Entry(att))
                        val.grid(row = i, column = 1)
                i = i+1
        print (att_values)
        tk.Button(att, text = "Submit", command = lambda: SubmitAtt()).grid(row = 0, column = 3)
        conn.commit()
        conn.close()```

#

to this

#

    val.grid(row = i, column = 1)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'grid'```

#

and this is the error im getting now

#

no idea why😅

amber roost Mar 1, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

.append has no return value, so val in your double loop becomes None.
Also, a function named markatt sounds like a very bad place to create a Tk window in

#

For the lifetime of your tkinter application, only one Tk should exist and have its mainloop running

sage rune Mar 1, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

to explain a bit further, lists are mutable so append directly changes the list you call it on, it doesn't return a new list

#

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:46 PM

#

amber roost `.append` has no return value, so `val` in your double loop becomes None. Also, ...

That makes sense, however I'm not sure how to be able to get user input and store it into a DB, without using dynamic variables(As the length of student names can increase or decrease, and using variable variable names is a bad idea according to countless online sources)

sage rune Mar 1, 2021, 11:47 PM

#

what you want is py val = tk.Entry(att) att_values.append(val) val.grid(row = i, column = 1)

#

but that still won't work

#

you don't call grid like that

#

afaik

#

wait maybe you do

#

apologies, you do

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:48 PM

#

Won't val will hold the att_val(user input) of only 1 student, there can be 30+ student names and i need user input(to mark attendance) for each student name on one page, which is why i thought i could use lists

sage rune Mar 1, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

yes it will

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

i could be very wrong, quite the beginner 😅

sage rune Mar 1, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

this method should work

#

also what is studentnames

#

why are you iterating students over studentnames, then an unused iterator for every element of students

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

studentnames is a tuple with the student names stored in my DB - i fetched it here c.execute('SELECT student_name FROM student') studentnames = c.fetchall()

sage rune Mar 1, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

how is it a tuple

#

a tuple of what

#

ah i see

#

so why do you add a new student label for every element of this tuple

#

if it's like (name, age, birth) you add 3 identical buttons whose text is the tuple

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

so my goal is to display each student name, and then an entry box next to each student name, where the user can write either Absent or Present.

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

sage rune if it's like (name, age, birth) you add 3 identical buttons whose text is the tu...

I'm sorry i dont understand?

#

I think if i explain this function it will be easier for you to understand

sage rune Mar 1, 2021, 11:54 PM

#

well for each student, you add three Labels at the same position on the grid

#

if there are three elements in the tuple

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:55 PM

#

So my goal is to be able to mark the attendance for each student in the database, and then take the corresponding student_id, attendance status(user input) and the date, and add it to a junction table.

#

To mark the attendance, I want to display all the student names in one column one under the other, and a entry box next to each name so the user can type whether the student is present or absent

amber roost Mar 1, 2021, 11:56 PM

#

Wouldn't a checkbox do that job as well?

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:56 PM

#

then when i press the submit button it saves to the Junction table along with the date.

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:57 PM

#

amber roost Wouldn't a checkbox do that job as well?

Yes, i considered that, but you have to specify the variable name when initializing it, and i didn't know how to do that without using dynamic variable names.

#

The number of students can keep changing, hence so will the number of entry boxes

amber roost Mar 1, 2021, 11:57 PM

#

you mean for the BooleanVars of the checkboxes?

#

i mean, if your only choices are "Present" or "Absent", a textbox seems like the wrong choice of input form

elder grotto Mar 1, 2021, 11:59 PM

#

I agree with you, however when if i want to use say a radiobutton, the syntax is as follows(w = Radiobutton ( window, variable = ..))

#

I'm not sure what to out the variable as, as each student has a unique attendance status

#

and the number of students are unkown

sage rune Mar 2, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

the radiobutton's variable is a tkinter Var not just a python variable iirc

#

like

#

also a checkbox and radiobutton are different, radiobutton is for multiple choice

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:02 AM

sage rune also a checkbox and radiobutton are different, radiobutton is for multiple choic...

ah, i was confusing the two

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:02 AM

sage rune like

In this case 'var' would store the value only one value in R1 right? I'm not sure how I can code this in a way that its dynamic and can store unique vales for each student

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

You don't need the variable I think. Even if you do, creating a list of BooleanVars and linking them to the student's row is possible

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

amber roost You don't need the variable I think. Even if you do, creating a list of `Boolean...

How could i go about doing this?

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:06 AM

Before I write any garbage, your entire thing should look like this, right?

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:07 AM

#

Yes!

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:09 AM

#

Since I'm confused what the difference between students and studentnames is: Is students just going to end up as a simple string of a student's name?

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:09 AM

#

you're referring to the for loop right?

#

studentnamesis a tuple with fetched data of all student names from the DB

#

I've used students as an iterator in the for loop (Forgive me if i've used the terminology incorrectly)

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

Because then I'm really confused why you have a loop running over each students string with an unused variable name that actually creates the widgets

#

It's not an iterator, it's more of an "iteration variable"

#

I guess you could call the for loop itself the iterator

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

amber roost Because then I'm really confused why you have a loop running over each `students...

I think its because i need to store the user input into a variable right?

#

and then put it into a list or a tuple

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

students is very misleading anyways, if you have something like

fruitlist = ["Apple", "Orange", "Lemon"]
for fruit in fruitlist:
    print(fruit)

is way more expressive of the fact fruit contains a single fruit over fruits

#

The loop you wrote will create a widget for every single character in a student's name and then grid those in the same place

amber roost The loop you wrote will create a widget for every single character in a student'...

I have kept row=i, and i iterates with every new iteration of the tuple studentnames

#

so ideally, each student name would be one under the other as the column remains the same

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

I understand that (also for that there is a trick in python):

#

!d enumerate

proven basinBOT Mar 2, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

`enumerate`

enumerate(iterable, start=0)```
Return an enumerate object. *iterable* must be a sequence, an [iterator](../glossary.html#term-iterator), or some other object which supports iteration. The [`__next__()`](stdtypes.html#iterator.__next__ "iterator.__next__") method of the iterator returned by [`enumerate()`](#enumerate "enumerate") returns a tuple containing a count (from *start* which defaults to 0) and the values obtained from iterating over *iterable*.

```py
>>> seasons = ['Spring', 'Summer', 'Fall', 'Winter']
>>> list(enumerate(seasons))
[(0, 'Spring'), (1, 'Summer'), (2, 'Fall'), (3, 'Winter')]
>>> list(enumerate(seasons, start=1))
[(1, 'Spring'), (2, 'Summer'), (3, 'Fall'), (4, 'Winter')]
```  Equivalent to:

```py
def enumerate(sequence, start=0):
    n = start
    for elem in sequence:
        yield n, elem
        n += 1

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:17 AM

#

But if students is "Bob" for example,

for students in studentnames:
        for j in range(len(students)):
                tk.Label(att, text= students).grid(row = i, column = 0)
                val = att_values.append(tk.Entry(att))
                val.grid(row = i, column = 1)
        i = i+1
```, `range(len(students))` will become `range(3)` and prompt 3 labels to be created just for Bob, all in the same place

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:17 AM

#

proven basin

Ah, I can see how this can help

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

amber roost But if `students` is `"Bob"` for example, ```py for students in studentnames: ...

Oh right, for some reason i assumed that len would be 1 as only the variable had only 1 string

#

So the second loop is redundant right?

#

I've confused myself with my own code now😅

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

Not only redundant, also potentially breaking since it adds unneccessairly many entries into val

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

yes, you're right.

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

so if you have three students and the first is named "Bob", then val will be longer than 3

#

And the first three of the entries were basically created for the individual letters B, o and b

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:22 AM

#

Ahhhh

#

Thanks for clearing this up!

#

I am extremely confused on how to tackle this problem though - Being able to store the status(user input) of an unkown number of student

#

Do i use a list itself?

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

I guess this is how i would do it:

attendance_vars = [tk.BooleanVar() for _ in student]

for i, student in enumerate(studentnames):
    label = tk.Label(att, text=student)
    checkbox = tk.Checkbutton(att, variable=attendance_vars[i])

    label.grid(row=i, column=0)
    checkbox.grid(row=i, column=1)
```, it will create a variable for every single student and have them accessible from the list `attendance_vars`
However I must admit my experience with SQL and databases is effectively zero, so I don't know how beneficial this list will be for feeding the values back

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

But how do i implement that, if the tkinter entry widget has no value before the user clicks on the submit button

#

**Thank you so much! **This seems like a very simple yet effective solution. I should be able to iterate through the list and store the values in the DB quite easily.

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:29 AM

#

No problem, feel free to ping me if you need any more help or if you notice something very weird with only the last variable being affected

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:30 AM

#

tk.BooleanVar() for _ in student Could you explain the significance of this line of code?

#

I dont seem to understand it

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:31 AM

#

That's a listcomp

#

!listcomp

proven basinBOT Mar 2, 2021, 12:31 AM

#

Do you ever find yourself writing something like this?

>>> squares = []
>>> for n in range(5):
...    squares.append(n ** 2)
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Using list comprehensions can make this both shorter and more readable. As a list comprehension, the same code would look like this:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5)]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

List comprehensions also get an if statement:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5) if n % 2 == 0]
[0, 4, 16]

For more info, see this pythonforbeginners.com post.

amber roost Mar 2, 2021, 12:31 AM

#

and that is basically a compacted form of writing the code in the first embed

#

I called it _ instead of n or student to make it clear the student name is not needed (Only a BooleanVar is created for each student, but the variable does not need to know its student's name)

elder grotto Mar 2, 2021, 12:33 AM

Ah, I see. Thank you!

digital rose All I am trying to do is make a label update in real time

having a background task and updating a label based on that task is not as easy as it sounds; you won't get around threading.
I've written this: https://gist.github.com/Square789/46b0fdf0905c229567798ff9f3ebc275

#

The idea is having a queue that both the UI (in the main thread) and the thread are aware of; the thread populates the queue and the UI has a method that schedules itself over and over in a set interval (There it's 50 ms) to read from that queue and change UI elements

#

does anyone know how i could pull off asynchronous console input with the curses module, somehow?

#

or if it is even possible?

#

if it helps, i am trying to do something similar to Vim's key sequences, where you can press a sequence of characters to execute a given function. however, i also want to have a timeout of sorts, which i figure i need asynchronous programming for.

the basic idea is that if i press, say o for example, and there are multiple mappings to o, it would wait, say, one second before running the base functionality for o, but if you press, say, ot, it would run code for ot. this would normally not be a problem, but the getch function blocks, and so it is not like i can run one while loop that updates a variable storing the last pressed key, and another one that checks for the times between key presses..

#

maybe this is not the best place to ask, but i am using the Curses module, so if anyone could redirect me if it is not the best place to ask it would be appreciated.

Hey, I've got a question about tkinter
Is there any "default" way of resizing parent's widget (ttk.Frame in this instance) after inserting a child?
I've got an issue when adding another ttk.Frame with tk.Text and ttk.Checkbutton inside - part of it stay hidden

#

#

I suppose i could just increase the minimal width so it'd always be visible, but I'd feel better with actual understanding why it's a thing

unborn sand Mar 2, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

Oh, i forgot to mention i use grid as the geometry manager
and the fact I put the frames inside a tab of ttk.Notebook
the whole hierarchy is basically
.!frame2.!frame.!notebook.!eventbase.!eventfield2.!text
where eventbase and eventfield are subclasses of ttk.Frame

unborn sand Mar 2, 2021, 9:28 PM

I'm playing with tabs' .columnconfigure()
Apparently what's set inside a Notebook, stays inside a Notebook (so it has zero influence on the size of the parent)

red sapphire Mar 4, 2021, 5:40 AM

#

Hmm are there any advantages at all though other than cosmetics?

#

Could convince you to switch to PyCharm perhaps because it's a true IDE

#

If you like Sublime roll with it

pycharm just feels very sluggish

#

maybe its my pc

#

I used it for a few weeks and I do enjoy it, it just feels very slow

Tkinter, is fine, it's just htat, we could be more efficent with a gui.

I have a pyside6 widget in which i have override the keyPressEvent. When the focus is on any QLineEdit & when I press "Shift+Enter" the registered KeyEvent is correct but when focus is on QPushButton and then I press "Shift+Enter" the registered event has "Shift Key with ShiftModifier" Why is that so?

It can be a very resource intensive program. It is the cost of the breadth of tools it offers.

Otherwise I've got 300MB of useless conda packages in my program

anyone know where I can get the maximise and minimise buttons

#

icons

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

unique forge anyone know where I can get the maximise and minimise buttons

just screenshot them

#

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

yeah I guess

#

and remove the bg

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

dont forget to get them when they are active/red as well

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 3:20 PM

#

eh

#

is there a better way

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 3:20 PM

#

unique forge and remove the bg

self.setWindowFlag(qtc.Qt.FramelessWindowHint)

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 3:20 PM

#

unique forge is there a better way

for what

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

to get the icons

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

ivory ember ```py self.setWindowFlag(qtc.Qt.FramelessWindowHint) ```

I meant remove the bg of the icons

#

not the frame

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

unique forge not the frame

ah, me dumb

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

unique forge to get the icons

probably, but im not aware of it

#

and for the icons, you can remove the background in the image/screenshot so you just have the lighter-colored part and technically no bg

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 3:23 PM

#

maybe I can recreate them in photoshop

#

or paint

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 3:24 PM

most likely

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 4:03 PM

Is it gonna be open source?

btw looks really neat so far

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

ionic moat Is it gonna be open source?

sure, why not

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

is it just the UI?

#

or like is it gonna be functional

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 4:39 PM

#

I think just a UI for now

digital rose Mar 4, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

unique forge maybe I can recreate them in photoshop

use illustrator

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

idk how to use illustrator

digital rose Mar 4, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

its easy to learn

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 4:48 PM

and I dont have it installed

digital rose Mar 4, 2021, 4:48 PM

photoshop doesnt use vectors though

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 4:48 PM

its easiest

hazy cosmos Mar 4, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

yes

#

ms is good

digital rose Mar 4, 2021, 4:49 PM

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 5:01 PM

If it's the same then what's the point

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 5:04 PM

you don't need to be online and GIMP has a bit more things

#

doesnt really matter, just my opinion

unique forge Mar 4, 2021, 5:18 PM

GIMP is quite good

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 6:52 PM

nimble grotto I have python 3.7

are you installing to the right python version

#

if you have python2, pip probably installed it there

#

try it with py pip3 install PyQt5

modern marsh Mar 4, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

Example:

the top bar is ruined due to the absence of the menu

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

ivory ember try it with ```py pip3 install PyQt5```

didn't help

ivory ember Mar 4, 2021, 7:21 PM

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:22 PM

nimble grotto "Create GUI Applications with python and qt5"

What version of Python?

#

also do you know where your Python folder is?

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

ionic moat also do you know where your Python folder is?

yep

#

python 3.7.6

#

I think

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

okay go to your Python37 folder

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

I did

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

Do you see a python37.dll and python3.dll file??

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

yep

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

it could be corrupted or gone

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

they are here(

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

well then it's most likely corrupted

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

I should reinstall my python?

#

is it making sense if I make it to 3.8 or 3.9?

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 7:52 PM

#

Make it 3.8 this time

#

Let's see

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:52 PM

#

yessir

ionic moat Mar 4, 2021, 7:53 PM

nimble grotto Mar 4, 2021, 7:55 PM
