user-interfaces

[nova swift]

Hi guys! Does anyone know a link explaining the Python <-> QML interaction through setContextProperty?

[unique forge]

nice! what did you make it with?

[ionic moat]

This is a bit of an advanced question but how do I connect a Git Bash GUI to the subwindow of a QMdiArea?

[ivory ember]

i'm not necessarily an expert, but i would just make your own simple UI for Git and use that. Maybe someone else can help?

[ionic moat]

It's gonna be in an QMdiArea

Maybe it's not possible who knows

[full marlin]

Hey, I created a small library, so that you can make a more modern looking and customizable user interface with Tkinter. The library is an extension to tkinter, and just provides some extra widgets, that can be used mostly like normal Tkinter objects. So if you want to make a gui with Tkinter, maybe you can check this out: https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter

[unique forge]

Nice

[digital rose]

Don’t ask to ask, ask

alr

[meager spoke]

you should publish it on pypi

[humble parrot]

Thanks for the response! this one:
super().__init__(parent) self.setWindowTitle('QMainWindow') self.setCentralWidget(QLabel("I'm the central widget.")) self._createMenu() self._createToolBar() self._createStatusBar()

I wonder why these three _createMenu(), _createToolBar(),_createStatusBar() are inside of super().__init__()^^

EDIT: dunder init is used for assigning values to data members of the class or known as variable, I wonder why these three which are method is inside of super().__init__()

[modern marsh]

should i use QTabBar or QTabWidget for new tabs in an editor

which is recommended?

i want each tab to be a new QTextEdit

[meager spoke]

I have a problem, how to remove spacing from widgets between QVBoxLayout in PySide6

[modern marsh]

the docs might help you

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qvboxlayout.html

[meager spoke]

no it didn't

[eager beacon]

What have you tried?

[meager spoke]

I have tried setSpaceing()

[eager beacon]

Can you show a screenshot and explain where its not working?

[meager spoke]

I am out can i show it after sometime?

[eager beacon]

sure

[meager spoke]

@eager beacon

[eager beacon]

well your window is way bigger than the contents require

after you add the last 'ABC' widget you can use theLayout.addStretch()

[meager spoke]

ok it worked

@eager beacon When i use showMaximizied() on QMainWindow it don't work

[eager beacon]

hmm

can you paste the code so I can try?

!paste

[proven basin]

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.

[meager spoke]

@eager beacon

@eager beacon https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oqitipenaf.rb

[eager beacon]

wait, are you saying that the addStretch doesn't work when you use showMaximized or that showMaximized doesn't maximize the window?

[meager spoke]

@eager beacon it works when i remove two of the widgets from QVBoxLayout

[meager spoke]

no

[meager spoke]

it a different question

[eager beacon]

so... showMaximized() isn't working?

[meager spoke]

yes but SetWindowState() works

[eager beacon]

I tested it with pyside2 mostly because I don't want to install pyside6 but it worked for me, I'm also on Mac, so none of this is helpful 🙂

[meager spoke]

i am on windows

[eager beacon]

my condolences

hang on let me install pyside6

I don't think anything at all has changed with the layouts between 2 and 6

[meager spoke]

@eager beacon what package should I use for distributing Pyside6 application

[eager beacon]

no idea

PyInstaller probably

Why are you using PySide6 right now anyway?

[meager spoke]

because it is latest Qt version

[eager beacon]

its also missing some stuff

The only thing I can suggest is moving self.__setup_main_window() to the end of __setup() instead of having it be the first thing that runs

[modern marsh]

autopy2exe can be used too

i guess

[eager beacon]

oh cool

I wasn't sure if anything needed to change to support pyside6

[meager spoke]

i have problem in deciding between fbs & breifcase

[meager spoke]

i think it won't have any effect

[eager beacon]

I've used FBS before and its really nice and its easy to use but it doesn't support new versions of python without some googling

[modern marsh]

holup lemme try autopy2exe

[eager beacon]

well, you should do it anyway since you're showing the window before the rest of the functions in __setup() are able to run

[meager spoke]

ok

[eager beacon]

you also don't need this line in that method:self.central_widget.setLayout(self.v_layout)

[meager spoke]

fbs support new python version but doesn't support PySide6

[meager spoke]

ok. I changed it

[eager beacon]

FBS might work, but it only supports up to 3.6

[meager spoke]

it worked

[eager beacon]

cool

[modern marsh]

hmm auto-py-to-exe is not working on my os

i remember using it in windows

it basically uses pyinstaller

[eager beacon]

You should really just use PySide2

The only differences at this point are that there are some classes missing from 6 and some others got reorganized.

like, the entirety of QtOpenGL/GLWidgets got reorganized

and some basic stuff like QState/QStateMachine are completely missing

I think I remember one of the devs saying that by 6.1 everything should be added if it's currently missing

[modern marsh]

i see

[digital rose]

How do I add a image to tkinter??

pls help

@dusty scarab

[dusty terrace]

what UI is generally better received dark or light?? this is my first time working on UI so cant decide

I prefer Dark myself but I am a nerd so I am asking you guys for opinions/ advice

[exotic cape]

@dusty terrace i would say it depends on what your app does and who the target audience is... For instance id say a photo editor should be dark to interfere less with the photo view, but an app trying to be user-friendly and accessible might be better received with a light theme...

[dusty terrace]

okay, my main demographic is 16-28 year olds

and its kind of a mock trading app

like for a school project

[eager beacon]

You should create a light and dark theme. Detect the system theme and set it accordingly but give the user a choice to change it in the preferences.

[dusty terrace]

that would be ideal!

I will do that

is that a lot more effort??

[eager beacon]

Trading apps are one of those apps that a user could be staring at for hours, so a dark theme is necessary as an option

[dusty terrace]

I have no experience with this

[dusty terrace]

yep, dark is what I was going with, but then I thought i am an amature so thought would ask here

anyways, thanks for the input!

will work on it!

[eager beacon]

good luck

[modern marsh]

use pillow module

PIL.ImageTk

and then add it to a tkinter label

[wraith heart]

Hi python discord! I have a question for people who know more than me about python UIs than me - I've been using numpy/scipy heavily for the last 7 years but would now like to put some of my tools into UIs - e.g. interactively display matplotlib plots and have the user interact with the plots and parameters.

I'm not sure which of the common GUI options would be the best - maintainability is also a concern of course.

years back I've worked with PyQt - and I've written GUI applications in C#, so I know my way around GUI things a bit - but PyQt seemed like too much for a single-window application with a tab or two

[meager spoke]

How render the shortcut key in PySide?

[molten latch]

is this only for macOS?

im getting a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'darkdetect' as well

[full marlin]

Oh yeah you have to do pip install darkdetect, but I will fix it, because you dont need it on windows

[molten latch]

im on windows and you need it?

whats sorry

it works but WARNING (customtkinter.enable_macos_darkmode): System is not macOS, but the following: win32

still nice job, looks good

[full marlin]

yes, enable_macos_darkmode() only has an effect on macOS. If your on windows you can delete this line. And on windows I experienced that the render quality is very low, so the round shapes dont look very good. So on windows maybe you should use something without round corners like this example: /complex_example_other_style.py

[molten latch]

yeah hmm it looks a little odd

any idea whats causing this?

[full marlin]

At the moment I have no idea, on macOS It all looks fine and sharp. The render quality maybe looks so uneven because Tkinter dont supports high DPi Rendering on Windows i think, but I dont know

[molten latch]

example:

string = "hello world"
FirstLetters = "".join(letter[0] for letter in string.title().split())

FirstLetters = "HW"

[molten latch]

i had a blurry issue with tkinter so i compilied it to an exe and changed some settings in properties

the DPI settings

I don’t know why I said that it’s probably not relevant 😂

[full marlin]

That could be a solution if you got it compiled to exe. And I can maybe fix the problem with the cropped slider button and the odd looking endings of the slider and the progressbar...

[molten latch]

What’s wrong with the progress bar?

[small egret]

All those interested in tkinter i got a really cool tool to let you forge real interfaces with ease
head to
https://github.com/ObaraEmmanuel/Formation

to get started or contribute

[full marlin]

The beginning and ending also have a small offset and look odd for me

[molten latch]

Is this a drag and drop?

Or like a manager of widgets

[small egret]

Drag and drop ... it currently converts your design to xml which you can load and write out logic for

[molten latch]

Wait it converts python tkinter to xaml?

[small egret]

yeah

[molten latch]

Not bad

[modern marsh]

i wish Qt got this support

for making new widgets

[neon sluice]

For tkinter... I have a combobox populated by text from a file that includes: a food item, its wholesale price, its retail price, and the quantity sold. The program allows the user to select the menu item and then choose the quantity they would like. How would I go about having the selected item's retail price * quantity?

[coral oyster]

Hi! Is there anyone who can help me with PyQt QThread?

[modern marsh]

is there a way to use a Widget specific event without subclassing it?

in Qt

[dusty scarab]

I never really worked with images. You may end up using a Canvas widget. My recommendation would be to look through ALL of the tkinter videos on https://www.youtube.com/c/Codemycom/videos

[dusty scarab]

You may want to consider using a ttk.Treeview. Check the above link for videos about either Treeview or dependent form items.

[unique forge]

I have a good webpage for that

https://realpython.com/python-pyqt-qthread/

[meager spoke]

But there are different methods to implement it like this
https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/examples/example_widgets__threads.html

[maiden dragon]

idk if this is unique to wxpython or if other GUI libraries have this but is there an example out there of binding an event to an object in a different file

[maiden dragon]

probably not of the scroll bar itself

[scenic pagoda]

import sys,random,time
from time import sleep
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.setGeometry(400, 400, 200, 200)
        
        self.label = QLabel("test label", self)
        self.label.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
        self.label.move(100, 10)
        self.show()

app = QApplication(sys.argv[1:])
win = Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())```
I was trying to get a label centered in the middle of the window but this small example does not appear to center the label on the center of the window.

[modern marsh]

maybe its because you used .move()

try packing it in a layout manager i guess

[scenic pagoda]

ok

[scenic pagoda]

so remove the .move and make an hboxlayout (that's what I want) and then add the label to it?

[modern marsh]

yeah , it might work

[scenic pagoda]

import sys,random,time
from time import sleep
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

class Window(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.setGeometry(400, 400, 700, 200)
        
        
        self.label = QLabel("test label", self)
        self.label.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
        
        self.layout = QHBoxLayout()
        self.layout.addWidget(self.label, 1,Qt.AlignCenter)

        self.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.show()

app = QApplication(sys.argv[1:])
win = Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

this does not appear to work; am I doing something wrong?

[modern marsh]

hmm, sorry , i have never used Alignment in Qt

i thought it might work if you do it this way

[cloud pebble]

I'm stuck with a problem that I described in #help-broccoli since it's a UI problem maybe someone here can help?

Not sure if I'm allowed to cross reference I'll delete if that's not ok

[violet garnet]

Hi, I'm using tkinter & Python 3.7 and I want to implement a Scale.

Most of it works, but for some reasons, some of the options keep giving me "unknown option" errors. Specifically, when I tr y to use showvalue and resolution.
self.threadSlider = Scale(self.threadFrame, from_= 2, to=self.MAX_CORES, showvalue=1, orient=HORIZONTAL, length=threadFrameWidth*0.95, command=self.refresh_thread_count)
Anyone get problems like this before?

[ornate relic]

´´´ if API.check_connect():
mainPanel = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
ui = Ui_mainPanel()
ui.setupUi(mainPanel)
mainPanel.show()
else:
self.frame_erro.show()
self.label_erro.setText(_translate("loginPanel", "Erro interno"))´´´

How do I open a new gui menu from this class? I want that when the login is successful, open a new menu and close the login.

this code is not working

I'm using PyQt5

[ivory ember]

Not an expert, but I think because your subclassing from QMainWindow the property setter methods are called on window creation, so in the

 __init__()```

[pearl ferry]

Anybody here have experience with the UI mod in pythonista3?

I know my question should be more targeted but it seems kind of niche, so...

[pearl ferry]

I have a simple terminal program for calculating hypotenuse from 2 numbers, and I am struggling to make text fields do anything with the numbers the way input would. I know I can do this on my regular calc or online, but I want a simple one page native “app” through shortcuts.

If it helps I can put the script in here but like I said very simple

[full basalt]

Anyone able to answer a general question about tkinter?
I'm trying to implement a key queuing system
For example

(Setup a tkinter window up here)

Key = a
Keylist = []

def spres(a):
    global Keylist
        if (len(Keylist)<3):
            Keylist.append("s")
window.bind("d", spres)  
//Repeat this for different keys

def maincommand():
  global Keylist
  global Key
  if len(Keylist)>0
    Key = Keylist[0]
    Keylist.pop(0)

  "Do other things based on current key"
  window.after(1000, maincommand)

window.mainloop

For some reason, the key appending system dosn't work if the buttons are pressed too fast
if they're pressed with a moderate delay between them then it works fine, but I really the program to process and record very fast key presses and queue stuff

is it simply a limit of tkinter or something I'm doing wrong?

[dusty scarab]

You are probably better off using the window.bind() with key up as the event to capture.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xifcE6xvnyg

[full basalt]

Thanks I'll have a look

So basically I replace "a" in my code with "<KeyRelease-a>"

That works a lot better but it still sometimes dosn't work, altho I'm not sure if that's simply due to me not pressing and releasing fast enough since my program runs on 50-100ms

so could just entirely be my fault

[dusty scarab]

Just use "<KeyRelease>" and check in the function

[full basalt]

Is there some reason key release is recommended over key press?

does holding down a key "for too long" input multiple key press commands?

[dusty scarab]

If you were going to do just a few keys, bind each key separately, if you are going to bind many keys, use the 1 global bind and interpret in the function

[full basalt]

just a few keys, which is why I bound them seperately

is there some functional difference between binding separately / interpreting in function other than code neatness?

[dusty scarab]

I'd suspect it could be which bogs the app down more. Try it both ways.

[full basalt]

Alright, thanks for the help, either way it runs a lot smoother now with keyrelease

[thorny lava]

I know how to implement it, but I wanted to know what the technique of "create default user avatar from starting letter as a letter image" is called, if there exists a google-able term

[winter robin]

create a default user from the starting letter as a letter image? so if my name is herrrta then my avatar will be H?

theres all sorts of ways to make this possible. sounds like you want to slice youre user string to begin finding a solution!

grab the first index in the string and use that

@thorny lava

name = 'herrrta'
print(name[0])

this prints out 'h' since this is the first character index in my string

h | e | r | r| r | t |a

0 | 1 | 2| 3|4 |5| 6

sorry for terrible example lol

[red wind]

ok so, to preface..I've been learning for a couple days max, so dont be hard on me lol.
I'm in python 3 with tkinter. I am trying to create a small popup window that I can close with a button, however when I try this, I get an error I've not seen to much about online. Error: AttributeError: type object 'Tk' has no attribute 'Toplevel'
The code that I believe is the is the cause is this:

def wTest(): wTest = Tk.Toplevel() wTest.wm_title("Test Window 2") newButton = Button(wTest, Text = "Quit", command=wTest.destroy).pack()

I was told by random forums to use Tk.Toplevel() in order to do what I'm trying to do, but if there are better ways, please let me know

but yeah, if anyone knows why its doing this, I'd love some assistance

[modern marsh]

if you have imported tkinter as tk

its tk.Toplevel()

afaik, Tk doesnt have a Toplevel method

[modern marsh]

tk.Toplevel(parent) or tk.Toplevel(master)

sorry i get confused with Qt and tkinter

[digital rose]

The tk.Toplevel() dosen't have master interpreter because it's the same as tk.Tk() that mean it's have .title(str) and .geomatery(str) etc.

[modern marsh]

Hmm

Toplevel has a parent right?

[digital rose]

Nope

[modern marsh]

Ahh

It has the root argument which is optional

[digital rose]

Yes

You can use it or not as you want default None.

[molten latch]

why do you need to search it if you know how to implement it??

as for you question i dont think there is a term you can simply search

are you trying to do image generation?

[dusty scarab]

What do your imports look like?

[final lotus]

screen.addstr(2, 7, character, curses.color_pair(3))
            screen.addstr(3, 12, profesion, curses.color_pair(3))

            time.sleep(0.5)
            curses.curs_set(1)
            screen.addstr(middle_row, x_position - 7, "Enter character's age:")
            input = screen.getstr(middle_row + 1, x_position)
            age = input
            curses.curs_set(0)
            #age = q.decode()
            if 0 > age < 20:

            elif 20 > age < 40:
                aging = 2
            elif 40 > age < 60:
                aging = 3
            elif 60 > age < 80:
                aging = 4
            elif 80 > age < 100:
                aging = 5
            else:
                screen.addstr(middle_row + 2, x_position - 7, "You should be dead")
                aging = 0
                screen.refresh()
                time.sleep(3)

Use StringVars/IntVars
A StringVar is used to store values of a Entry Box

import pyautogui as pg
from tkinter import *

n.pack()
n.get()
t1var = IntVar()#You can also use StringVar() and then convert it into int()

[digital rose]

ohhhhhh

let me try this out real quick. thanks!

[pliant dagger]

Sure

[digital rose]

hm

how do i

so like I input the information

but what's after that?

is there a button to confirm or anything

what's after?

[pliant dagger]

The problem is that the for loop is after the root.mainloop() so it will only be executed once the app is closed

[digital rose]

should i move it down

[pliant dagger]

You can create a button and store this for loop inside a function and then call it whenever the button is clicked

[digital rose]

or maybe put a button to activate a function

yes

good idea

thinking the same thing

[pliant dagger]

Doing that won't produce the desired output

[digital rose]

why so?

[pliant dagger]

Because the for loop will execute as soon as you run the script. It won't wait for the user to input something

[digital rose]

oh

hm..

oh

it works!

turns out it was just a little spelling error but i found it

[pliant dagger]

Glad I could be of some help

[digital rose]

instead of tivar it was t1var

yes!
thank you

[pliant dagger]

🙂

any idea why the border colour doesnt work? ```css
QPushButton{

when I press a button to open a new window I'm having this weird issue where I cant use the input box's.. but when its on a script by itself it works perfectly

[unique forge]

which library?

[digital rose]

tkinter

like it doesnt transfer the variable

here is my litttle makeshift test zone

    butt.pack()

if 1 == 1:
    jjj()


root.mainloop()

but

when you remove the buttons to activate it

it works great

weird

[red wind]

Yes, its imported as to, sorry lol

I was asleep

[modern marsh]

yeah so

tk.Toplevel()

[modern marsh]

maybe only rgb values work

[unique forge]

ok, let me try

@modern marsh nope, still doesnt work

[modern marsh]

hmm

[modern marsh]

try adding

border-style

and

border-width

maybe the border is not showing up or something

[unique forge]

doesnt work

[modern marsh]

hmm idk man

it should work according to docs

                screen.addstr(4, 12, age2, curses.color_pair(3))

this is a curses screen code that has to ask for your age and than if its age from 1 to 100 it prints it, but it doesnt get past the if part... does anyone know how to fix that?

[unique forge]

yes

someone does know how to fix that

[final lotus]

so how do you fix that?

[unique forge]

I dont know

[final lotus]

thanks mister helpful...

[unique forge]

lol

I did answer your question though

[final lotus]

cant argue with that

[unique forge]

and it was correct

Im done for good

[digital rose]

when I press a button to open a new window I'm having this weird issue where I cant use the input box's.. but when its on a script by itself it works perfectly

    root.title('written macro')
    nn = Entry(root, width=13)
    nn.pack()
    nn.get()

    var11 = IntVar()  # You can also use StringVar() and then convert it into int()
    tin = Entry(root, textvariable=var11, width=13)
    tin.pack()

    var12 = IntVar()
    inn = Entry(root, width=13, textvariable=var12)
    inn.pack()

    def macro():

            time.sleep(var12.get())
            pg.write(nn.get(), interval=.0)
            time.sleep(.5)

    myButn.pack()
def jjj():
    butt = Button(root, text="help", padx=10, pady=5, command=ok(), fg="green")
    butt.pack()

if 1 == 1:
    jjj()


root.mainloop()

but
when you remove the buttons to activate it
it works great
.. weird

i want to make a modern GUI using tkinter

how shall i start going about this

[ivory ember]

tutorials

[ionic moat]

wdym by modern gui?

If you want a GUI that actually looks good then Kivy or Qt are your best options

[small egret]

Why are you using grid and pack in the same parent container .... it should have warned you but if not that's the problem ... use grid for the last label as well

[small egret]

not necessarily.

[small egret]

I cannot tell you where to start but just know it's possible and it requires quite the effort ... maybe start with using extension widgets from ttk to achieve a native look

[woven sleet]

whats better pyqt or tkinter

[river compass]

Ty

[stray coral]

From my understanding PyQt is a C++ wrapper, but I am wondering how QThreads works in relation to the GIL.
Are QThreads still bound by the GIL or are they just part of a C++ process under the hood?

[solar pewter]

which is the best framework for desktop apps?

pLs TeL mI

[unique forge]

PyQt5

with Qt Designer

[red sapphire]

Yeah if anyone ever wants a quick and easy answer PyQt seems the most robust

And is basically the standard

But dang do your research don't just acquire the first framework a discord user tells you to haha

There's other good tools with their own advantages!

[ionic moat]

Necessarily.

[red sapphire]

Them's fighting words

Technically you can use Django as a GUI

And that looks fantastic

[ivory ember]

You can do so much with PyQt5, beyond UI. Also, the UI can be customized in many different ways, like stylesheets, proxies, etc.

[ionic moat]

What if there was a web-version of Qt

Like the thing I love the most about is Qt Designer

it saves so much time, it's so much easier, and makes the GUI look way better

[unique forge]

me too

[grizzled charm]

What is the best way to implement languages in an interface(tkinter)?

timer1_enabled = tk.IntVar(root)

name_label = tk.Label(root, text = 'Total work time since start', font=('Ariel Rounded MT bold',10, 'bold'))
name_entry = tk.Label(root,textvariable = timer1, font=('Ariel Rounded MT bold',10,'normal'))
start_btn=tk.Button(root,text = 'Start', command = timer1_enabled)
pause_btn=tk.Button(root,text = 'Pause', command = timer1_enabled)

name_label.grid(row=9,column=0)
name_entry.grid(row=10,column=0)
start_btn.grid(row=11, column=0)
pause_btn.grid(row=11, column=2)


def advance_timers():
    if timer1_enabled.get():
        timer1.set(timer1.get() + 1)
    root.after(1000, advance_timers)

root.after(0, advance_timers)
root.mainloop()``` this is my current code i know it doesn't work yet but rn im trying to visually get everything correct ish. But it keeps moving the things to weird places that i don't want them to go. How do i fix this?

I think you need to make it into a lambda: similar to what I've seen in videos on the Youtube channel link I posted. There is a calc recreation there too.

I'm creating a web browser for my company, using my own UI Library that I made. The web browser is the World's First Smart Browser. The web browser has a system where it can detect a new user, who is using the web browser for the first time, then it will give the user a setup process. There are multiple steps in the process for setting the preferences of the user.

[mortal steeple]

Wow

[shadow mist]

cc @rancid tangle

[rancid tangle]

he pinged me in the original message lol

so, what does it do that other libs can't? i'm interested

[digital rose]

can it do stock charts? if yes, I'm interested

[shadow swan]

twitter button ui

[shadow mist]

👀 what was deleted

[digital rose]

'make actual good interfaces'

[shadow mist]

oh ffs

[shadow swan]

hmm mind showing some of the code for your ui?

lib

[digital rose]

@digital rose There is also a "spotlight of interest" where you can select the interest for the web browser, for example, choosing stocks, can add featured snippets of stock charts.

@shadow swan No, the source code took days to make.

It's a private library.

[shadow swan]

ok thats fine

wish i could make something like that

[digital rose]

can add featured snippets of stock charts.
I don't want snippets, I want interactive ones

@digital rose I'll add a feature to add interactive stock charts.

[lost fable]

Make actual good interfaces. Author: Ahmed Qureshi#4293

[rustic grove]

Ik one but I forgot the name I’ve been trying to remember it for the past 10 mins lol

I used it in my stock app

[digital rose]

Robinhood?

I found a decent one but it required me to learn js/vue

I just want something I can work with in python

[rustic grove]

No my app requires the user to enter a symbol, then it gives them a graph, price, and a recommendation of whether to buy or not

[digital rose]

There will also be a App Store, for the Equant Web Browser, (sort of like a web browser extension), any developer can submit code (html, javascript, css) to the store.

They can also charge you to use a app.

[rustic grove]

Are you going to screen the extensions?

[digital rose]

@rustic grove You want me to screenshot the software on the app store?

[rustic grove]

No like are you going to check for malicious extensions

[digital rose]

Equant Web Browser App Store Preview.

Yes, the staff will use a virtual machine, and perform the test.

[shadow swan]

well good work.

[digital rose]

The apps in the App store that has a white outline and a blue background, is made by Equant.

[shadow swan]

What is special about the equant browser compared to osmething like firefox?

[digital rose]

The Equant Web Browser (We are still deciding the name for the web browser) is the World's First Smart Web Browser.

[shadow swan]

oh sorry i gotcha

[digital rose]

There is a smart phone, a smart watch, a smart house, what about a smart web browser?

[rustic grove]

This sounds like an ad 😂

[delicate basin]

how is it smarter than others?

[digital rose]

Many advanced several artificial intelligence technologies, as well as having the app store, for additional technologies.

There are more features.

[shadow swan]

so its like alexa?

[digital rose]

We are currently working on a Advertising System, similar to Google Ads.

[delicate basin]

there's the chrome app store etc for extensions in other browsers...

[digital rose]

There will be your own Assistant in the browser, similar to "Siri".

[shadow swan]

ah

[delicate basin]

ah, voice commands in a browser?

[digital rose]

@delicate basin Yes.

[delicate basin]

i mean... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/voice-command/khbofkpcdlkkgpkjdgibjiambmangfip / https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/handsfree-for-web-voice-c/ldfboinpfdahkgnljbkohgimhimmafip ?

[digital rose]

One of the features about the voice command, you can set a prefix, or a word, and you can set the function. For example, if you say the word "Online Shopping", it will open up "Amazon".

@delicate basin That is a 3rd party organization adding the technology.

There will also be a Adblock system, if you don't want to see the Equant Advertisements, you can simply disable both Equant and Google advertisements.

[delicate basin]

i mean... adblocks are included in many browsers now...
welp, anyways, I wanna see how this progresses ^^
Keep posting here with each improvement please

[digital rose]

@delicate basin Most adblocks on web browsers are from 3rd party organizations, which if you were talking marketing wise, it would be common, if your in the perspective of the web browser itself, made by the company, you can see many web browsers don't have a built-in adblock.

Some web browsers had a adblock feature, but Google paid them to get rid of it.

[delicate basin]

*most of the browsers aiming for features. OperaGX, Vivaldi and Brave have it afaik

[digital rose]

Our main competitor is Chrome, not Google.

If that make sense.

[delicate basin]

Chrome isn't high on features anyways :P
mostly everything is added with third party extensions

[meager spoke]

what code i need to make public while using pyside with LGPL v3?

[modern marsh]

damn

made in PyQt5? nvm, great work !!

[ionic moat]

I think all of it

I think I read a long time ago in their legal requirements for commercial use that you either have to pay for their license or make all the code open-source and published under license LGPL v3 or GPL

But you're going to have to look up more information on that

This tells you what you're obligated to when choosing your license: https://www.qt.io/product/features#js-6-3 look on the left you can change your license there, and on the right, it'll show you what you can

Legal: https://www.qt.io/licensing/, https://www.qt.io/terms-conditions/, but you still have to look up for information on this

[abstract crown]

how can i get the input from this?

def messageServer(msg):
    print("sending a new message")
    if len(msg) < 0:
        return S.send(msg.encode(FORMAT))   

    def createWidgets(self):
        userinp = Entry(self, text="lol")
        userinp.grid(row=1, column = 5)

        helloBTN = Button(self, text="Send message", command=messageServer(userinp.get()))

hey all. i am playing around with the flexx ui and when trying to run it on windows, i am getting this error Exception has occurred: NotImplementedError

"""
Simple hello world following the recommended style of writing apps,
using a custom widget that is populated in its ``init()``.
"""


from flexx import flx

class Main(flx.Widget):

    def init(self):
        self.b1 = flx.Button(text='Hello')
        self.b2 = flx.Button(text='World')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    m = flx.launch(Main)
    flx.run()

All i am trying to do is run the hello world app. I dont think this is a flexx issue but my computer seems to be missing something in order to run it. Any help would be appreciated

nevermind. i went to check all the dependencies and had them all but i used pip3 install flexx originally so i thought i would try pip3 install -U https://github.com/flexxui/flexx/archive/master.zip instead. Now it works.

[dusty terrace]

Guys, I am torn, what do you think is better??

[modern marsh]

i like 2 better

but i feel like the general color scheme itself is not very good

[digital rose]

I like 1 better, I have different opinions on the colour scheme from the above. Orange and black go well together

[autumn badge]

as does black and blue

if you go blue, make it all blue not black/blue/orange

[dusty terrace]

Please, let me know, what do you think will work?

[dusty terrace]

what do you suggest??

[modern marsh]

idk man, i suck at it myself

[dusty terrace]

okay, so you think one colour is the way to go

[dusty terrace]

lol, you and me both brother!

[modern marsh]

haha

[autumn badge]

ask my wife, i have no style

so i chose 1-2 colors and life is good

[dusty terrace]

hahaha

[autumn badge]

at least you went with a dark theme

[dusty terrace]

same! Black and grey for life!

[dusty terrace]

yea dude, i mean come on

you have to

its the best

[autumn badge]

i like simple and colors should be a color for a reason. maybe
black background, blue static stuff and orange for changing info

apps hurt my eyes when they are not dark theme

[dusty terrace]

I like that!

[autumn badge]

i watched a guy do autocad in light theme. made me mentally rage

[dusty terrace]

yea dude!

[dusty terrace]

hahahaha

[autumn badge]

though, sadly every app i have written for work is not dark theme

too many old people. they would get confused and probably shine a flashlight at it

little current calculator i wrote

[modern marsh]

make a switch

there is ttk.font

so

you can make a global font and switch it as per a button press

[autumn badge]

I plan to. But instead of having to use pyinstaller for these apps, I am going to try and use flex to serve them on our intranet

[modern marsh]

i see

[autumn badge]

With most people working from home and using a vpn, loading these apps can take up to 30 minutes

It should only take 30 seconds

[dusty terrace]

you gotta level up dude! cant be doing stuff like this

[dusty terrace]

project for the science class?

[autumn badge]

science class?

that is for my job

lol

i design fire and security systems, so i need an easy way to calculate current for my devices

granted, this was made a while ago and in a rush

[dusty terrace]

lol, we had to do something like that on paper for my class, sorry, didnt mean to demean that

[autumn badge]

lol no worries

[dusty terrace]

what a cool job dude, you are saving people through software! thats pretty cool

[autumn badge]

my manager gace me a crappy excel spreadsheet with about 1/5th of the devices on it as our "tool"

[dusty terrace]

:((

[autumn badge]

so i made it better and easier

[dusty terrace]

thats why i love software dude, you make make things to help yourself and the world

[dusty terrace]

totally!

[autumn badge]

we also make the submittla document books for the company on new jobs. It was messing around with downloading stuff and editing spreadsheets and a simple job took 30-60 minutes

i spent a week and wrote an app that can get the complicated ones done in less than 10 minutes

so that is paying for itself

[dusty terrace]

wow dude! Love that!

inspiring honestly!

[autumn badge]

but we all use windows at work and my IT dept refuses to install python onto computers (mainly because they are afraid of what they dont understan), so i have to exe everything with pyinstaller.

so i make everyone run it fromt he server so i dont have to tell people to update

[dusty terrace]

ohhhhh, dude! Thats useless additional work

[autumn badge]

but VPNs make pyinstaller files take forever to load

[dusty terrace]

smart!

[dusty terrace]

i didnt know about that! interesting

anyways, nice chatting with you, when i go to bed today, I would be happy, because i met an awesome person today!

[autumn badge]

that is also an issue with the --onefile command. it slows down loading

night

[dusty terrace]

thanks for letting me know!

Send your problem, we can’t send brainwaves through the internet to communicate with your mind to understand your requirements and code.

[ivory ember]

bro, say ur question

[tame storm]

guys i have a question. I want to use sockets which needs threading but tkinter doesn't like threading

nvm im stupid i got it

[thorny pike]

Oy guys, how are you

What do you suggest to build a friendly interface?

I need someone to chat to get my ideas clear haha

I never built an user interface before, because I've always worked with the command line or Jupyter when I need some quick visualization. Normally I also build back end tools

But now I wanted to started venturing out with GUI and I've heard of electron that can have the front end of web

My goal was to build a desktop app that takes a file read it and allows the user to modify some parameters of simulation. The python script would then launch the simulation using a third party software and proceed with the optimisation of each step: step1 create multiple load cases, step2 use the third party tool to find the static configuration that satisfy some criteria, step3 change load cases on the static configuration, step4 get outputs for STATIC, step5 change the positions of the elements and loads (create offset cases / extreme cases), step 6 get the results of OFFSETS, step 7 allow the user to select the criteria for each thing

My doubt is between the communication between Electron and Python. How can I make it so it's smooth? what are the best practices on that? All the API for the third party software is built in Python s

[ivory ember]

im afraid i dont fully understand you, but I'd recommend you read "Mastering GUI Programming with Python" by Alan D. Moore to learn about PyQt5 and it's UI.

[sacred cloak]

PyQT

it offers threading

and multiprocessing

I always use PyQT to launch different processes, and I would have a pipeline between the processes to exchange data/state

you can do lots of cool things with third party programs

No GIL, no problem

@thorny pike so no question asked, just use PyQT5

[rough void]

hey i have a mini problem with pil i have an image that i transformed and it returns this <PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=RGB size=64x64 at 0x1D634B7D6A0>
except I'd like to put it in tkinter

I did something but it doesn't work I got a bit lost

print(artwork.first.thumbnail([64, 64]))
buffer = io.BytesIO()
one.save(buffer, format='PNG')

imgs = PhotoImage(buffer.getbuffer())

largeur = imgs.width()
hauteur = imgs.height()

zone_image = Canvas(root, width=largeur, height=hauteur)
zone_image.create_image(0, 0, anchor=NW, image=imgs)
zone_image.pack()

[ionic moat]

I think PIL has an ImageTk thing you can use

[modern marsh]

Yup

[autumn badge]

@thorny pike I would suggest appJar. It is a simplified take on tkinter

And still powerful

[thorny pike]

@ivory ember hey Billy, the idea of using electron was to make use of JavaScript to make a very interactive interface, using the extensive number of components and libraries

[wintry zephyr]

Hey just wanted to ask that is curses asynchronous? If not, are there any alternatives?

[grizzled charm]

Is there a way to print all atrributes of a widget

I think I read that somewhere but I forget the way how to do it

[mint mural]

hey, so im trying to make a ui for a simple app im making and im having some trouble with tkinter. i want my widgets to be centered but they are always on the top left.

root = Tk()
root.geometry('500x450')

title = Label()

url_tb = Text(width=30, height=2)
url_tb.grid(row=0, column=0)

fe_tb = Text(width=15, height=2)
fe_tb.grid(row=0, column=0)

root.mainloop()```

[autumn badge]

did you try anchor=center?

[grizzled charm]

U can also u the place method

[weary summit]

Hety

Is This How you want it to be?

[mint mural]

yes

[weary summit]

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.geometry('500x450')

title = Label()

url_tb = Text(width=30, height=2)
url_tb.pack()

fe_tb = Text(width=15, height=2)
fe_tb.pack()

root.mainloop()

[mint mural]

but like in the middle of the screen

[weary summit]

Ohh

[autumn badge]

Then you need to add some vbox in there

[distant dome]

How would I go about getting the coordinates of the mouse relative to a tkinter window? I am currently getting the coordinates using .winfo_pointerx() but this just grabs the coordinates of the mouse based on the entire screen rather than relative to the window.

i.e. if I had a window that was 100x100 and I clicked in the middle, but the window was placed at the bottom left of my monitor I would want it to give the coordinates 50, 50 rather than like 1000 1500

[ruby pawn]

Hey, I'm having some trouble with PySide2, I'd like the highlight outline to be above a QPushButton that goes all the way to the edge of the widget. Is that possible?

[sonic lark]

hey i had a doubt that can one build apps in python
not like the one's you make with tkinter

for example if you download the desktop app for spotify so, it automatically creates a shortcut fir the application and puts it on the desktop so can apps build in python do that ?

[rancid radish]

yes any app can do that...that's more of a installer configuration as in if the installer you us to package the app offers such a function you can

[brittle minnow]

lcam = r"./kodumungoblinleri.png"
while True:
    pos5 = imagesearch(lcam)
    if not pos5[0] == -1:
        pyautogui.moveTo(pos5[0], pos5[1])
        print("bruh")
    else:
        pyautogui.moveTo(946, 440)``` it moves to right bottom

[mint mural]

hey so im using tkinter to make a simple gui and i have done that. i am using a text box to get the user input and i made a function that collects that data from the text boxes and puts them into a variable. but nothing happens when i do that

this is my code

url = ""
fe = ""


def retrieve_input():
    url = url_tb.get("1.0", "end-1c")
    # print(url)
    fe = fe_tb.get("1.0", "end-1c")
    # print(fe)


root = Tk()
root.geometry('500x450')

title = Label(text="Download Files")
title.config(font=(100))
title.pack()

url_tb = Text(width=30, height=2)
url_tb.pack()

fe_tb = Text(width=15, height=2)
fe_tb.pack()

Button(text="Commit", command=lambda: retrieve_input()).pack()

root.mainloop()```
this is just the tkinter part

[tribal path]

would need to global - or could look at simpledialog

[haughty heart]

ya never know

[ivory ember]

lol

[azure abyss]

has someone made a really good looking app with tkinter here?

[tribal path]

Often not worth the effort - though & could search this channel for images

#user-interfaces message

[indigo kestrel]

any1 know how to make input bar with a send button (like on discord where im typing rn) that sends a message here like mine is rn using pyqt5? just an example how to do that

[ivory ember]

use a QHBoxLayout() with QLineEdit()

i'd use the returnPressed signal instead of a send button

if u need more help feel free to dm me

[indigo kestrel]

yes

[boreal lantern]

Does anyone have an idea of about how hard it is generally to port tkinter apps over to Qt? any experience with PyQt vs PySide for the Qt bindings?

kind of a vague question but hoping for a general impression

[ivory ember]

only used tkinter a little, but I know PyQt5. The PyQt5 framework is built off of C++ and is quite different from tkinter, so I assume it'd be quite a bit of work.

[tulip gull]

All i've used for interfaces is tkinter and that still gives me a lot of problems

[peak cove]

i cannot seem to figure out how to color the border of a Curses window. anyone know how?

[tulip gull]

I am using the same background image for all my windows but when i try to transition to another window it gives me this error: _tkinter.TclError: image "pyimage4" doesn't exist. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

[hasty dock]

i've noticed there is not really have much in the way of pinned messages with say a nice list of UI libraries. I found it hard to keep track of new ui libraries and even existing ones when i started. Might be worth having a list with links.

[calm acorn]

Does anyone know if Kivy has a file size limit or length limit for its SoundLoader? It seems to crash with a fairly large audio file (307mb, 2hours long)

[unkempt estuary]

you probably can, though I highly suggest that you make a backend service with Python for example, using frameworks such as Flask or Django, and make frontend with something like JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and use electron.js to make it an actual desktop app

[dusty scarab]

By default, .pack() tends to put items in the center. Maybe try that instead of grid?

[dusty scarab]

I could argue that I made a fairly decent text editor at: https://github.com/ayourk/HostsManager/blob/main/hostsman.py

[shell barn]

i need help, i have two widgets one is a login and the other is a app, but i switch they whit QStackedWidget and the size not change (the widgets have diferent size)

[sonic lark]

ohk thank you so much for the help

[sudden falcon]

You should use QFormLayout

[shell barn]

i use QFormLayout, but the size not change

[sudden falcon]

which widget?

[shadow sundial]

Hey everybody sorry for interrupting but I am facing an issue while using Qt Designer. whenever i open a new window or even a dialogue box, the application crashes for some reason. Me and my friend went over the code line by line yet there's no logic on why the crash occurs.

[sudden falcon]

Did you try reinstalling?

[shell barn]

I have two class in QStackedWidget, one is a login whit a size and other is one application whit other size, the size is different in both of them but at switch from login to application the size of application it keeps

[sudden falcon]

This is because you used QStackedlayout

[gritty dagger]

Hey guys! Can someone help me wiith PyQT Designer?

[shell barn]

I don't use QStackedlayout

[sullen flare]

hi, just a simple question, is it possible to grid a widget in a frame without displaying the frame and only showing the widget when I grid the frame too

[full marlin]

I tried to make it look good: https://github.com/TomSchimansky/GuitarTuner
See this one if want to make it similar: https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter

[limber stone]

is it possible to make really clean UIs in python

[ionic moat]

PyQt5 and Qt Designer or Kivy

I prefer PyQt5 because of Qt Designer

it makes everything so much easier, better, and faster

[digital rose]

Qt Designer what's the widget for user input? Like a tkinter Entry

[sudden coral]

QLineEdit or QTextEdit

[digital rose]

It worked ty

[limber stone]

anyone here familiar with making gui's w python

[modern marsh]

yup

[limber stone]

could you help me with something

[modern marsh]

just ask

[limber stone]

how hard would this be to make ?

[modern marsh]

hard with tkinter imo

not very hard at all with pyqt

[limber stone]

I have all elements via figma

[modern marsh]

idk what figma is

[limber stone]

UI designer

[modern marsh]

i see

[grizzled charm]

Could somebody explain me the stringVar and the different variations of it?

I mean why somebody should use it? (Tkinter)

[spare cedar]

i wannnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa build a gui app what to use

[sudden falcon]

Both work mostly same way

I can

[finite mural]

Hey guys I need some help

I'm trying to display a picture in Tkinter, I get no errors but my image is not showing.

def RedirectError():
    global root
    root = tk.Tk()
    window = Canvas(root, width= 500, height= 100, bg= "white")
    window.pack()

    wrn = PhotoImage("Warning.png")
    img_label = Label(root, image= wrn)
    img_label.pack()

    root.title("Brave RedirectError")
    root.iconbitmap("E:/pyfolder/Brave/Visuals/Brave.ico")

    errorlabel = Label(root, text= "RedirectError: An Error Has Occurred While Opening Your Option.", bg= "white")
    errorlabel.place(relx= 0.15, rely= 0.2)

    ok = Button(root, text= "OK", padx= 20, bg= "white", fore= "black", command = ext, borderwidth= 0, default= "active")
    ok.place(relx= 0.44, rely= 0.60)

[limber stone]

I have a tkinter button that runs a script

whenever i press it it runs the script but crashes the window

[lofty pond]

Run it on a seperate thread using threading

[limber stone]

how

[lofty pond]

To use threading:

import threading

Creates a thread with the target to a function

thread = threading.Thread(target=function)

Starts the thread

thread.start()

Note that the function should not be called
With this in mind, having a function like this would help:

def run_threaded(function):
    thread = threading.Thread(target=function)
    thread.start()

Which you can pass into your button command:

button = tkinter.Button(root, command=lambda: run_threaded(function))

[limber stone]

button.pack()

thread = threading.Thread(target=button)
thread.start()```

[lofty pond]

The target for the Thread would be your browstest, not the button

button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command=lambda: threading.Thread(target=browstest).start())

Looks weird, that why having a helper function is nice

[limber stone]

does not work

it opens a window without the background or size that i put and still freezing

[lofty pond]

Did you remove this part of the code:

thread = threading.Thread(target=button)
thread.start()

[limber stone]

yes

[lofty pond]

Error message?

[limber stone]

browstest.pack()```

[lofty pond]

Pack the button Button not the function browstest

[limber stone]

still

[lofty pond]

Could I see the code

[limber stone]

its selenium if that has anything to do

[finite mural]

Could you guys help me =

?

[limber stone]

Button.pack()```

[finite mural]

It will execute the commend right away

[lofty pond]

It has the lambda

[finite mural]

Without clocking the button if you do that

But it runs anyway

When there is an argument at lest for me it runs even with the lambda

[limber stone]

removed lamda

still

and it loads none of my background or size its just defualt

[finite mural]

I don't know try it but if it runs just make a variable with the function and args inside

Okay what is your code ?

[lofty pond]

First of all, remove the threading part, and see if it is that problem, or the main code

[finite mural]

I will fix it and explain

[limber stone]

Button.pack()```

then browstest.py

browser.get("https://discord.com")

[lofty pond]

Did the program worked before you added the threading.

[finite mural]

Link doesn't work bud

[limber stone]

it runs

but crashes the window

like ui

[finite mural]

So it's prolly browstest

[limber stone]

yes

[finite mural]

The link des not work could you send an other link ?

[limber stone]

so how can I run the browser without gui crashing

its just google link

[finite mural]

But it doesn't get me to browstest.py

[limber stone]

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Chrome()

browser.get("https://google.com")

print("done")```

full code

[lofty pond]

Do you get any error code when running the code

[limber stone]

no

browstest.py runs no problem

But it crashes the gui

[finite mural]

You need to import browstest to the one in which you have the button

[limber stone]

    os.system('browstest.py')```

[finite mural]

Take browstest

Put it in a folder with your button script

Now use

[limber stone]

so GUI.py

[finite mural]

from GUI import *

Yes

No

WAIT

There

No .py

And now in the GUI.py

Use this

Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command=browstest)
Button.pack()

Okay first

[limber stone]

didnt work

[finite mural]

You need to put your browstest script

into a fumction

Like this

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver

def browstest():
  browser = webdriver.Chrome()

  browser.get("https://google.com")

  print("done")

Like this

And then try

[limber stone]

where would i put that

[finite mural]

In your script browstest

You put your code into a function to use it in your GUI.py

Or you could put very thing into one script but I think you want to make two scripts, one for code and one for GUI

[limber stone]

does not work

[finite mural]

For a simple test, try this:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver

def browstest():
  browser = webdriver.Chrome()

  browser.get("https://google.com")

  print("done")

root = tk.Tk()

Canvas(root, width=100, height=100, bg= "gray")

Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command= browstest)
Button.pack()

root.mainloop()

in a new file

[limber stone]

it works

[finite mural]

Alright

So it works

It's something with how we do it

[limber stone]

but what if the script is 300 lines long

[finite mural]

Yes I know

I just wanted to see if it worked

Look

Try this:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from browstest import *

root = tk.Tk()

Canvas(root, width=100, height=100, bg= "gray")

Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command= browstest)
Button.pack()

root.mainloop()

and in browstest put this:

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver

def browstest():
  browser = webdriver.Chrome()

  browser.get("https://google.com")

  print("done")

For me it works

[finite mural]

For this make a new file

So ?

[limber stone]

im testing

[finite mural]

Alright 😄

The file where you have the browstest function must be named browstest.py for the code I sent you to work

[limber stone]

ok thank you it works when i run GUI

but gui does not pop up

[finite mural]

What do you mean ?

[limber stone]

like it does not show

the window does not show

[finite mural]

Okay let me see

My bad try this

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from Help2 import *

root = tk.Tk()

Canvas(root, width=400, height=400, bg= "gray").pack()

Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command= browstest)
Button.pack()

root.mainloop()

Now a 400 by 400 window should pop up

[limber stone]

its not

[finite mural]

Really ??

Wtf

Did you copy paste the dode ?

code*

[limber stone]

i did

[finite mural]

Uhm

Nothing shows up ?

[limber stone]

no

only see prints

but no gui

[finite mural]

Try changing Canvas for Frame

[limber stone]

nope

[finite mural]

You see the button tho

?

[limber stone]

no runs automatically

[finite mural]

Ooooog

Try this

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from Help2 import *

def Window():
    global root
    root = tk.Tk()

    Frame(root, width=400, height=400, bg= "gray").pack()

    Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command= browstest)
    Button.pack()

Window()
root.mainloop()

Forgot to put a global my bad

[limber stone]

still

[finite mural]

Then I don't know what the hell is wrong

It's running perfectly fine for me

We tried to force it to use only and exactly what we want by making functions

Okay try this

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from browstest import *

def Window():
    global root
    root = tk.Tk()

    Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command= browstest)
    Button.pack()

Window()
root.mainloop()

[limber stone]

just remove bg

[finite mural]

No nvm

Okay

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from browstest import *

def Window():
    global root
    root = tk.Tk()

    Frame(root, width=400, height=400).pack()

    Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command= browstest)
    Button.pack()

Window()
root.mainloop()

Sorry keep importing the wrong script

Does it work now ?

[limber stone]

no

[finite mural]

Be careful because I modified it

Could you try copying it again ?

[limber stone]

no

[finite mural]

Alright

Private call ?

[limber stone]

cant

[finite mural]

Alright

Then I don't really know what to do

[limber stone]

code is 300+ lines long

[finite mural]

But you pasted everything together ?

[limber stone]

yes just changed name to of the py file and def to match

[finite mural]

Nooo

What you needed to do

Was

Just create a new file

and paste this in it

Just this

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from browstest import *

def Window():
    global root
    root = tk.Tk()

    Frame(root, width=400, height=400).pack()

    Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command= browstest)
    Button.pack()

Window()
root.mainloop()

[limber stone]

i did

testgui.py

[finite mural]

Alright

[limber stone]

from tkinter import *
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from browstest import *

def Window():
    global root
    root = tk.Tk()

    Frame(root, width=400, height=400).pack()

    Button = tk.Button(root, text="Supreme Ruler Test", command= browstest)
    Button.pack()

Window()
root.mainloop()```

[finite mural]

And it's in the same folder as browstest.py ?

[limber stone]

yes

[finite mural]

In which you also pasted the code I sent you

[limber stone]

no

[finite mural]

Okay

Make a new file

Called

browstest1.py

[limber stone]

works

[finite mural]

In the same folder as testgui.py

And paste this

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver

def browstest():
      print("done")

Oh shit it worked ?

[limber stone]

yes

[finite mural]

There you go

[limber stone]

just not with my script

[finite mural]

That's what you need to do

[limber stone]

but the google one works

[finite mural]

But inside the script

Alright

So you have a way to make it work

I would help you more but I don't have enough information XD

[limber stone]

my bad cant disclose the source

[finite mural]

It's alright

It would really help if you could call

[limber stone]

i have if statements to load different links

[finite mural]

But you can't

Yeah

And google is one of them

?

[limber stone]

yes

[finite mural]

You can throw the def inside the if statement

[limber stone]

yes

my script has no errors

[finite mural]

Alright

But the gui doesn't get to it ?

[limber stone]

yes just starts script like normal

[finite mural]

Okay

Are you trying to make a console based script run if a gui ?

in*

Like before it was for console

But you're trying to put it into a gui

[limber stone]

yes

[finite mural]

Okay

What you need to do is take your likns

And do a whole new script

Where you need to put every link into a function like we did

for Google

Because

The GUI won't work if you use a console based script

You need to make one that is tought to work with a gui

made*

Because you're pressing buttons, so there is no strings

[limber stone]

example of ui

[finite mural]

So you don't need to make if statements

That's one of yours ?

[limber stone]

yes

[finite mural]

Firt of all

First*

Very impressive

Good job

[limber stone]

thanks i started python 3 days ago

[finite mural]

Damn

You must've slept very little

[limber stone]

lol

[finite mural]

Okay

So the thing is that you don't need if statements

Like

You could do this

[limber stone]

could we discuss this via dm

[finite mural]

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver

def Google():
print("done")

def YouTube():

def PH():

def Amazon():

[finite mural]

Of course

👁👄👁

[delicate sierra]

Does anyone know if the PySide/PyQt QTextEdit widget has some special resizing functionality that causes it to expand to maximum size regardless of its container? I've tried substituting a label and a button in place of it and they don't seem to have any issues

[ivory ember]

QSizePolicy?, like with expanding

[delicate sierra]

No, I figured it out just a little while ago, but apparently my custom class derived from QTextEdit was reapplying its stylesheet every time it received the resize event and that caused it to reset its size

[blazing mortar]

Howdy,
Struggling with getting Plotly looking beautiful (hell even acceptable). https://defi.compare source code linked at top of page. Anyone can help?

[digital rose]

Hey. Can i change the icon of the cmd im running the python file in?

[heady ginkgo]

Hey is there a way to utilize the preferences pane when coding a gui app with tkinter

@ me

[trail rune]

Anyone know if its possible to use nbgitpuller on a private repository in my companies github? Or have a local clone of the repo? I need a way for people in my company to pull down the latest code for jupyter hub. All these employees won't have git accounts.

[ivory sierra]

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title("Application with iconbitmap")
root.iconbitmap(r"/Users/******/Desktop/Images/icon.ico")
root.mainloop()

The Error I get:```
_tkinter.TclError: bitmap "/Users/******/Desktop/Images/icon.ico" not defined

so I declared the full path of my Icon but it doesnt want to do anything with it. I tried googling but none of the ways given there helped me.

I use WIndows 10 and Python 3.8

[lyric phoenix]

shouldn't you include the disk also ?

C:/path/to/file ?

[modern marsh]

read the second last line

[ivory sierra]

it doesnt matter whether I include disk or not for the outcome is the same

[balmy sail]

anyone use PyQt5?

I guess it is because I haven't slept, but can someone tell me why this isn't working: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uzihuducaj.rb

[jovial lance]

anyone knows kivy?
I'm starting with it and hav set up a virtual_env in python, but don't know where to put the actual python files, would really appreciate if smby could help me out or link a documentation

[balmy sail]

Actually I found it

[ivory ember]

yea, u need

sys.exit(app.exec())

not

app.exit(app.exec())

[pliant dagger]

is it possible to change label color in tkinter from black to something else?

[pliant dagger]

Oh I did it

label = Label(text = '...', fg = "color_name")

[pliant dagger]

btw is there any possible way to add google sign up in a tkinter app?

[balmy sail]

Question, is it possible to add a rectangle in behind the buttons of my window. As part of the window design

I have tried using QPainter, but it disappears when my buttons show up

[unique forge]

idk how to

but that is THE WORST FRICKING WAY TO ENTER A PHONE NUMBER

lol imagine

[ionic moat]

lmao

better to just use a LineEdit/Entry

[jaunty ether]

I was wondering about tkinter, how do you separate the window into different sized frames? I had an assignment for a course recently and I tinkered a little with making a gui

class BoardFrame():
    def __init__(self, root):
        self.root = root
        self.frame = tk.Frame(root)
        self.frame.columnconfigure(1,weight=6)
        self.canvas = tk.Canvas(self.frame)
        self.draw_pits()
        self.canvas.grid(column=1,row=0)


    def draw_pits(self,pits=[5,5,5,5,5,5],start_x=10,start_y=10,height=50,width=50,distance=20):
        for i in range(len(pits)):
            x0 = start_x + i*(width + distance)
            y0 = start_y
            x1 = x0 + width
            y1 = start_y + height
            self.canvas.create_oval(x0, y0, x1, y1,
                            outline = "black", fill = "white",
                            width = 2)

    def draw_balls(self,balls,x,y,diameter):
        pass



class SettingsFrame():
    def __init__(self, root):
        self.root = root
        self.frame = tk.Frame(root)
        self.canvas = tk.Canvas(self.frame)
        self.draw_test()
        # self.frame.pack()
        self.canvas.grid()

    def draw_test(self):
        self.canvas.create_oval(10, 10, 80, 80,
                            outline = "black", fill = "red",
                            width = 2)

class KahalaApp():
    def __init__(self, root):
        self.root = root
        self.board_frame = BoardFrame(root)
        self.setting_frame = SettingsFrame(root)
        self.board_frame.frame.grid(column=0,row=0)
        self.setting_frame.frame.grid(column=1,row=0)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.title("Kalaha")
    root.geometry('800x600')
    root.columnconfigure(0, weight=4)
    root.columnconfigure(1, weight=1)
    kalaha = KahalaApp(root)
    # root.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
    root.mainloop()

tried this and I kinda expected the left side to be 80%...

btw I made some text-based user interface for the course thing, just asking out of interest

that does not work

was the code mangled somehow? dunder is missing in places

@shrewd mist wtf?

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[icy plume]

Hi how to divide root to 2 LabelFrame oriented vertical?

[fiery flare]

how to get the coordinates of a button in tkinter?

[amber roost]

I believe winfo_root{x|y} should do it absolutely from the top left corner of the display and winfo_{x|y} from the top left corner of the parent widget

[amber roost]

Look into the grid geometry manager, you should be able to pack one labelframe into row=0, column=0 and the other into row=1, column=0. You can have them clamp to the edges of their cell by specifying sticky directions, sticky="nesw" for filling it out completely

[icy plume]

I already solved that but thx

[shell barn]

I am interested in making an audio player with pyqt(pyside2), do you know where I can find good info and examples?

[fresh echo]

#Register Page
screen1 = Toplevel(screen)
username = StringVar()
password: StringVar = StringVar()
label1 = Label(screen1, text = "Username", font = ("Calibri", 13))
label1.pack(padx = 5)
label2 = Label(screen1, text="Password", font=("Calibri", 13))
label2.pack(padx=10)

the pad functions not working?

what am i doing wrong

[unique forge]

I could help

[balmy sail]

anyone use pyqt5? if so what could I do to make it where if you touch the background it goes back to the previous page?

[shell barn]

can I send you a private message?

[unique forge]

sure

Hello, Isn't Tkinter in the standard library?

Could someone help me?

[ivory ember]

from tkinter import * ?

that probably wont change anything but try ig

thats the interactive shell

did u try in a seperate file?

[autumn badge]

Most times it is because it is not added to your PATH. Rerun the install file and make sure the “add to PATH” is checked

[runic cairn]

I tried, there isn't a changing

[runic cairn]

python and scripts directory is already in the path

[autumn badge]

Hang on. This is an issue with the 64 bit python. Assuming you have that from looking at the cmd

[autumn badge]

weird
i have 3.8.5 64 bit and it works just fine

[runic cairn]

Does anybody know the solution?

[amber roost]

did you check this box in the installer? @runic cairn
Programs > right click Python 3.X > Change and then "Modify" in the installer that pops up

[wet plank]

Can a tkinter button have two commands? For example command = sqlsearch,printsomething

[amber roost]

No, it can only have one. You can however pass a function to it that calls two commands; a dirty way of doing that would be a lambda that relies on left-to-right evaluation of tuples:

tk.Button(root, command=lambda: (sqlsearch(), printsomething()))

[wet plank]

hmm alright

I'm trying to figure out how I can destroy a set of components when the user loops the program

this is supposed to not display any of the DAT1000, INF1000 and the corrosponding rows, but they're leftover from the previous runthrough

[amber roost]

I don't know why I said "dirty" to be honest, it's technically fine; I just didn't use something like that personally

depends entirely on how you store/display those rows

I would create some sort of class/function that completely removes all of them and then repopulates them from the result of the query

Are those labels or just how Mac displays ttk.Treeview?

[wet plank]

So far I've tried to plant a flag in the button function that counts if it has been run through but that doesnt work haha (trying to be smart, but python doesnt work that way)

those are labels being made by a for-loop based on length of a list

might be a dumb way of doing it but..

[amber roost]

Well, the widgets will still be in vinduVitnemalUtskrift, you could get them with

for widget in vinduVitnemalUtskrift.winfo_children():
    widget.destroy()

[wet plank]

ah, so I can put that in the start of the function?

[amber roost]

should have your desired effect, that would remove all children of vindu...

[wet plank]

hmm, but that also removes the Buttons "Søk Studentnr" (which is the function command) and the "Tilbake til hovedvindu" (which is vinduVitnemalUtskrift.destroy)

[amber roost]

it basically does a query into the tk backend to get the widgets, I guess it would be cleaner to keep track of the widgets on a python level; but at that point you have a jumbled list of labels which also isn't that clean

Either create a sub-frame then for only the widgets that should be destroyed or append each widget you create in that loop to a list; then iterate through the list and .destroy() only the widgets in there

i'll be back in ~30 minutes

[wet plank]

hmm I'll try messing around with it. And yeah its a bit of a mess, but I'm more concerned about getting it working at this point (school assignment)

I think your suggestion of putting that entire thing into a new window could kinda solve the problem, as any new result would also pop up into a new window

[sand plinth]

If anyone is experienced with PyQt5 and could help with a bug plz lmk

I have made a UI in Qt Designer but it is distorted when loaded from the python program, the functionality works perfectly its just squished and looks ugly ;-;

[modern marsh]

just ask away

[sand plinth]

in qt designer the screen looks like this

but when run from my main program is loads like this

ive tried changing the width and doing autosize but it doesnt make a difference

[wet plank]

Hey Square if you're around, how would YOU dynamically name generated tkinter components? I'm about to generate a listbox and entry fields for each list element (StudentID retrieved from a database), but its kinda important that I know what is what since it will be used to update the database once the user presses save (Each StudentID will get a grade) 😄

oh I could do something like
for i in range(listlenght)
label_name = "Entry" + str(i)

My text isnt showing up

I'm not getting any errors

[wet plank]

with tkinter I have mainwindow.mainloop() in the original window, but I'm wondering if im supposed to have mainloop() in top level windows as well?

[modern marsh]

considering the fact that a Toplevel() widget need not have a parent, imo it needs a mainloop()

[velvet swallow]

does website developer just make changes to templete to make static website

?

[worthy creek]

is tkinter still the premiere python gui library ?

i was googling around solo a couple of months ago to see if there was anything more mature out. thought maybe other diverse alternative libraries

[tribal path]

you'd be going back a fair way to find when tkinter/tcl was considered premiere

[unique forge]

tkinter is definetely not the premiere gui library

its very outdated and the UIs made with it arent that good
