Qt/PyQt is definetely the way to go

there is also Kivy

[wet plank]

Haha I'm learning tkinter atm as part of Basic Programming (first year on a bachelor)

[unique forge]

you should learn PyQt and Kivy too!

[wet plank]

Ye, I like Python. We havent been "allowed" to use a lot of python-specific stuff yet, so would be cool to see what you really can do with python 😄

I just made the worlds shittiest program though. Couldnt figure out how to clear components in time for the deadline, so I just removed the option to search for something twice

[naive rampart]

PyQt makes your life much easier...

[gritty dagger]

guys how can i get empty string LineEdit value in Qt?

[ivory ember]

wdym "empty string lineedit value"

[gritty dagger]

line I need to check if a line edit has got some word/character in it? How do I do that?

[ivory ember]

get its current text with <widget>.text() and do like:

if word in <widget>.text():
  #do something

[gritty dagger]

ok thx 🙂

[ivory ember]

np

[naive rampart]

move up your surface.blit and pygame.display.update()

[amber roost]

I would create a class that subclasses tk.Frame and tracks all widgets it creates in internal lists, having methods like clear, setdata, getdata and addrow to make it usable. Basically creates a tkinter frame with a lot more to it.
Also, you only need one mainloop per application, toplevels have a parent, they run with that. If you want toplevels to take the spotlight, call .focus() to focus them and .grab_set() to reroute all events that may show up to them

[worthy creek]

Yeah I was wondering, I had used it 5 years ago & was surprised people were still using iti

[full bolt]

Hey, first of all sorry if this is the wrong chat room.
I was wondering what the best GUI framework for python is atm.
I'm in need of creating an application at work, and because management doesn't enjoy want just a command line application they want some GUI.

Is there an equivalent to something like Electron.js where you can add styling in the form of CSS?

Thanks

[desert dome]

can I have some feedback ?

btw this was make with pyQt5

[digital rose]

@full bolt if you want "stylish" UIs then PyQt is a good option to start with. Not wrong to mention here that Python doesnot have a truly amazing GUI library that has CSS like features in it. Tkinter is easy and quite flexible, yet it has an old school GUI look to it. But you can always start with creating your own little library by modding functions of some already existing libraries.

[ivory ember]

No way its CSS, but QStyleSheets use QSS, which is pretty similar. PyQt5 in my book as well.

[digital rose]

Hey guys, what library would you recommend for terminal based ui's?

I want to do something like this

[cold jungle]

looks nice!

[desert dome]

thx

[modern marsh]

curses i guess?

[digital rose]

i was afraid of this answer

@digital rose what do you need terminal GUIs for? i cant think of any reason as to why you should opt for terminal based GUIs rather than the regular ones.

anyhow, try Urwid. a pretty clean terminal based GUI package, a personal favourite too.
here: http://urwid.org/tutorial/index.html

[gritty glen]

@digital rose If you're trying to avoid curses check out "rich" https://www.willmcgugan.com/blog/tech/post/building-rich-terminal-dashboards/

        return self.lineup_name_entry.get```

anyone know why this doesn't destroy the entry and label? (tkinter)

[frigid tundra]

You need to destroy lineup_name_entry.master (I am guessing this is actually a root window) because if you do not then you end up with a big box on the screen that is not transparent.

[distant dome]

The function isn't running

when I press enter

[abstract relic]

too late

[digital rose]

Gotcha. Urwid's going to help a lot then.

[digital rose]

It's the one i am currently considering. Do you know any resources beside the documentation?

Not really. I have done all of it from the docs only.

Just start by messing around with the sample programs

[cyan plume]

Hello, hope PySimpleGUI is the same thing as user interfaces. I'm getting this problem every time.

    def delete_input_box(self):
        print('test')

        self.lineup_name_entry.destroy()
        self.get_click_pos(self.button_text)

        self.lineup_name_entry.place(x=300,y=210)
        self.bind('<Return>', self.delete_input_box)```

When I change the last line to self.bind('<Return>', self.delete_input_box()) it works, but runs automatically

but currently it doesnt run when enter is pressed

like doesn't print test either

[lofty pond]

You called self.delete_input_box, and events in tkinter also pass in an event param for the function you put, for the first issue, you would just remove the parentheses, but an easier one (if you aren't using the event), is to do lambda e: function().

[lapis scarab]

so i decided to do a little project in python as practice and for fun and i also decided to make it a gui application but i dont know anything about guis in python so how do i get started?

[ivory ember]

bit harder than the default lib, tkinter, but I'd recommend PyQt5. You get a lot more features and the UIs look more modern.

[lapis scarab]

alright then so should i start reading the docs for that then?

[ivory ember]

i read the packt book

has literally everything

but yea, the docs should be good too

dm me if u need help

[lapis scarab]

aight thanks dude

[ivory ember]

np

[autumn badge]

Anyone have a good way to do something like tabs for pysimpleguiweb?

[digital rose]

anytime!

[digital rose]

@lapis scarab
ive been onto tkinter for 5 years now. its far more flexible and powerful than most people who expect it to be. i have never used PyQt5 because i never felt the need to. I dont use any ide from the internet too, just made my custom ide in tkinter. The point is, tkinter is more user-friendly, and has even more customisable Widgets. if you want stylish UI in tkinter you can use Themed Tkinter widgets (TTK).

[modern marsh]

i would recommend pyqt than tkinter even if its a bit hard to learn compared to tkinter

[digital rose]

since when have you been using tkinter

@modern marsh

[modern marsh]

Been a year now

Switched to Qt

[digital rose]

no wonder. ive been on it for 5 years+

no wonder everyone underestimates tkinter

[modern marsh]

I highly doubt tkinter is capable of what Qt is capable og

this is what happens when you comment on something you dont know about.

[rain quarry]

How would I go about making a drag-and-drop block-based interface in Qt? Kinda like the Lego NXT software, but instead of being side by side, allow every block to have inputs/outputs where you can drag lines between them
Image of Lego NXT:

I've seen some examples of how to do drag-and-drop in Qt, the main thing i have trouble with is how I'll link blocks together with lines and how I can create a block instance when it's being dragged out of the sidebar

[distant dome]

Yeah I managed to do some tinkering with it and got it to work, but thanks for the help I just used that information for a different binding, appreciated.

[sudden falcon]

https://youtu.be/H29ACjL4ptM

Maybe this video will help you

[rain quarry]

got any text-based sources? not a big fan of videos, especially when on data

also what I'm trying to figure out seems a lot more difficult than a 13 minute video can explain lol

[ivory ember]

i just looked at it for interest and they have it on their website

take a gander

[rain quarry]

got a link?

I found QDrag but that seems more related to moving e.g. files to import their data

@ivory ember

[ivory ember]

no offense, but r u dumb

its in the vid

[rain quarry]

I mean I can't watch the video right now

[ivory ember]

excuse my lang

so the codeloop website, under pyqt5 tutorials

[rain quarry]

and I can't seem to find anchor points for drawing lines between the dropped blocks

[ivory ember]

im just helping with "text-based sources" my guy, i duno about drawing lines

[rain quarry]

Isn't that exactly what I asked for though?

The main thing i have trouble with us how I'll link blocks together with lines

It also doesn't answer my other question:

... and how I can create a block instance (i.e. don't remove the one i dragged from) when it's being dragged out of the sidebar

[minor dove]

https://paste.myst.rs/k388rq0p So I am trying to make a custom python window using pyqt5 but it says that the language is not supported or defined. P.S. I am using vs code as my IDE. And I am sure that I installed pyqt5

I am currently placing tkinter image buttons on top of another image, but I want the button images to have transparent backgrounds (to show the image below rather than the white) is this possible?

Oh I fixed it already 😄

[rain quarry]

correct

[ionic remnant]

Hi, I'm currently making a program using tkinter, and I can't figure out how to delete a button from inside a function. Can anyone help?

[digital rose]

can you post some code for context?

[ionic remnant]

gimme a sec

[digital rose]

you might just want to copy paste it.

[ionic remnant]

too many characters

[modern marsh]

!paste @ionic remnant

[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.

[ionic remnant]

oh ok

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ovevotifiy.rb

Basically, you press the "start game" button and it's supposed to delete that and replace it with the buttons for the game. Instead, it stays there and gives me an AttributeError

[digital rose]

what exactly are you trying to build?

[ionic remnant]

An incremental game

sorry it's so messy

[digital rose]

ok i think i get it. when you say self.destroy(game) you are calling the object to destroy the "game"button

[ionic remnant]

yes, exactly

[digital rose]

what youre doing wrong is that youre calling object.destroy(*arg) whereas .destroy() is a function designed to destroy tk widgets. just replace that line with game.destroy() wherein, destroy() doesnot take any arguements.

and wait

your class structure is quite messed up. youre calling class (object), whereas you must say class button(Button): wherein Button is a Tkinter object!

[ionic remnant]

oooh

[digital rose]

and to create the button, instead of calling game.button() , do this:
class button(Button): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) def PACK(self): self.pack() .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

this creates a tkinter button, that takes in default button arguements as *args, **kwargs

[ionic remnant]

ok...

I think I get it

It's getting late here though, so I might just pick this back up tomorrow, if you don't mind

[digital rose]

alright

[spare glen]

so, i am making an application using pyqt5
i want to close the window when i click a button, so i wrote this for that:
self.login.clicked.connect(self.closewin)

and i am getting this error
```AttributeError: 'Ui_MainWindow' object has no attribute 'close'```


what should i do now?

[digital rose]

can you post the full code?

[mossy ice]

Which library is the easiest and more intuitive to work with? I've tried tkinter, which seems to require less code, but I'm having problems with making the layout responsive, even though it looks like it would work.

Also, is there a less introductory tkinter guide that is less verbose and more of a "this class is for this, these are the most common methods, which do this" guide, with good practices and tips?

[rain quarry]

I'd personally recommend PyQt5, but I've heard a lot of good stuff about PySide and PySimpleGUI

[mossy ice]

I've looked at pyqt5, but it seems you have to do more work, so I'm a bit hesitant.

[rain quarry]

I've found Qt to be very similar to React in the sense that each component is standalone and has its own state

If you want something real simple, go PySimpleGUI

[cold jungle]

i took a time to learn well pyqt5 and I still don't know 100% pysimplegui is a good one for starting

[mossy ice]

Any good pyqt5 tutorial that goes straight to the point?

[unique forge]

PyQt5 is a lot less work than Tkinter

because of Qt Designer

drag and drop your interface

and convert into code

[unique forge]

sadly, no. But I do have some good docs

check this: https://www.learnpyqt.com/

[mossy ice]

I'll take a look, thank you

i am making a to-do list, is this looking good?

[ivory ember]

overall layout looks good

might want to change the "done" to complete, at least for the "Done Selected" btn

so it would make more sense to say "Complete Selected"

in short, looks great!, just polish it up a little

[spare glen]

oke thanks for the feedback!

lemme do these changes

[distant dome]

(TKINTER)
I have a list containing all the buttons that have been placed, is it possible to iterate through the list with a for loop and do i.config(command = i.destroy) to change the command to delete the button when clicked?
this is my current code:
py def delete_user_lineup(self): print(self.placed_lineups) for self.placed_lineup in self.placed_lineups: self.placed_lineup.configure(command=lambda:[self.placed_lineup.destroy]) self.placed_lineup.forget() self.placed_lineup.place()
The output of print(self.placed_lineups) is:
[<tkinter.Button object .!frame.!activemapgui.!button29>, <tkinter.Button object .!frame.!activemapgui.!button30>, <tkinter.Button object .!frame.!activemapgui.!button31>]
And here is where the original buttons are appended to the list:

def place_lineups(self, default_lineup):
       # Iterate through all lineups in the list and set the correct icon for each lineup
       self.placed_lineups = []
       for i in range(len(self.agent_lineups_list)):
           self.lineup_button = tk.Button(self, width='20', height='20')
           self.path_to_img = "icon_images\\" + default_lineup["ability_type"] + ".png"
           self.pil_icon_image = Image.open(self.path_to_img)
           self.pil_icon_image = self.pil_icon_image.resize((20, 20,), Image.LANCZOS)
           self.load_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(self.pil_icon_image)
           self.lineup_button.image = self.load_image
           self.lineup_button.config(border="0", image=self.load_image, command=lambda: [play_video(default_lineup["lineup_file_loc"])])
           # Place lineup to the coordinates specified for the lineup in the config file
           self.placed_lineups.append(self.lineup_button)
           self.lineup_button.place(x=default_lineup["x_coordinate"], y=default_lineup["y_coordinate"])```

Anyone has idea how to make my app nicer?

[errant rapids]

how did u make that interface? with what?

[icy plume]

oh with tkinter

[errant rapids]

looks cool

[icy plume]

i am thinking about changing buttons i have a lot of space on left side

[unique forge]

use stylesheets

[ionic moat]

PyQt5 makes the best UIs imo

[modern marsh]

Yes

[digital rose]

yep

[tacit swan]

here's the code

here's the error

[formal harness]

I think you need a relative path for your logo.pngatbe try './logo.png'

It is running if I exclude 5th and 6th lines

[hot bramble]

i didnt know you could do user-interfaces with python

[digital rose]

This is cool 👍

[digital rose]

This is actually very easy to fix

You will be want os library to fix

Second

[spare glen]

thanks!
also i have a question,
how to close or hide a window in PyQT5?

[digital rose]

Ah sorry I don't know in pyqt just tkinter sorry again

[ionic moat]

window.close() or window.hide()

[spare glen]

  File "d:\important stuff\JNNSMEE\gui2.py", line 369, in <module>
    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
  File "d:\important stuff\JNNSMEE\gui2.py", line 344, in setupUi
    self.pushButton.clicked.connect(MainWindow.close())
TypeError: argument 1 has unexpected type 'bool'```

i got this error

[ionic moat]

you're not supposed to call functions in a connect function

self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.close)

maybe try this

[digital rose]

This will help you @tacit swan

import os
path = 'logo.png'
Image_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), path)

[spare glen]

oke

it worked

thank you so much

[tacit swan]

That didn't work

[tacit swan]

Didn't work

The problem is when I execute program it is showing error in init .py file.

[spare glen]

Hey @ionic moat, i made a function in which i have to close the main window but when i used your solution it showed me this error

  File "d:\important stuff\JNNSMEE\gui2.py", line 241, in find_and_login
    MainWindow.hide
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'hide'```

this is the function

[ionic moat]

I think you want self.hide and also, you have to call it there

you don't call functions inside a function call when you're passing it as an argument

but if you wanna run the function 1 time, you call it

[spare glen]

oke lemme see

  File "d:\important stuff\JNNSMEE\gui2.py", line 241, in find_and_login
    self.hide
AttributeError: 'login_ui' object has no attribute 'hide'```

nope

[ionic moat]

Where is the window object?

[spare glen]

wdym?

there are two functions, setupUi and find_and_login

def find_and_login(self):
def setupUi(self, MainWindow):

[ionic moat]

what is MainWindow?

is that the window object?

[spare glen]

oh

QMainWindow

idk what is that

[ionic moat]

can you try using hide on it

[spare glen]

oke

  File "d:\important stuff\JNNSMEE\gui2.py", line 240, in find_and_login
    QMainWindow.hide()
NameError: name 'QMainWindow' is not defined```

nope

[ionic moat]

Remove the Q

[spare glen]

nothing happens

[ionic moat]

Then we can't do it without the window object

self should be the window object though

[spare glen]

with self, it says that

  File "d:\important stuff\JNNSMEE\gui2.py", line 240, in find_and_login
    self.hide()
AttributeError: 'login_ui' object has no attribute 'hide'```

self is the class maybe

because the class name is login_ui

[tribal path]

need to trace may through... where are you calling that method?

[spare glen]

which method sir?

[tribal path]

find_and_login

Hey, I'm working in PySide2 and creating an application running inside Autodesk Maya. I'm having some trouble with getting windows to stay on top. My main window has the maya window as it's parent and stays on top of Maya fine. But any subsequent windows I open, won't stay on top unless they're QMainWidgets with maya as a parent. If I try to just keep them QWidget and give them a parent, they get drawn inside the main window I parent them to, instead of opening a new window. And even if I just give it a stay on top window flag hint, it just disregards it completely.

[autumn badge]

has anyone tried pyside6 or are people still using pyside2?

[modern marsh]

pyside 6 doesn't have the full feature set pyside 2 has yet, I guess

It's safer to use pyside2

[autumn badge]

eventually you think?

[modern marsh]

Yeah

[autumn badge]

im willing to wait. i use a few different gui modules now. just looking into my pip script and figure i should add pyside

[modern marsh]

So you have never used pyqt/pysid

?

[autumn badge]

oh i have, years ago

pyqt4 and original pyside

just went a different direction for a while trying out different UIs. remi, flexx, appjar, pysimplegui, wxpython, tkinter (again), flask etc

[modern marsh]

Ah alright

[mighty breach]

anybody here able to help me with tkinter stuff?

I have been stuck for soo long in this dumb issue and really need help as im runnign out of time

[autumn badge]

@modern marsh i take it you are a qt fan? I started moving away from qt because i had some apps i wanted to write for $$ but pyqt caused some issued. and pyside had a hard time working on my computer

[modern marsh]

i am a fan but not a fanboy per se

i like using tkinter too but imo qt is far superior

which module do you think is the best

[mighty breach]

@modern marsh can you help me with something in tkinter??

[modern marsh]

if i know it, sure

[mighty breach]

ok so

#global variable
PHU_CODE_tk = ''

def Q1comboBoxValue(event):
    global PHU_CODE_tk
    PHU_CODE_tk = q1DropDown.get()
    print(PHU_CODE_tk)

q1DropDown.bind("<<ComboboxSelected>>", Q1comboBoxValue)

all i want is for that global variable to get the updated value of what i select on my combobox

but setting it in the function doesnt work

[modern marsh]

i have never worked with comboboxes in tkinter so idk how to solve this

[mighty breach]

ok no worries

[modern marsh]

are you sure that the event is being called by the bind()?

[mighty breach]

yes

because if i print out the PHU_CODE_tk inside the function i see it

and i see the updated value each time

the only thing is the global variable is just empty, its not getting teh value

and i think its because im calling it inside of bind() but I need to

My goal is to get the updated value of what I select into that global variable

[modern marsh]

ah

[mighty breach]

ive been stuck for soo long its so annoying

[modern marsh]

can you share the code so that i can test it quickly?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/kunozegovu.apache

idk if it will even run because theres files you need

like photos and stuff

[modern marsh]

@mighty breach so i deleted some code and stuff and the global var is getting updated

[mighty breach]

like

constantly?

when you click different options

[modern marsh]

yes

[mighty breach]

omg

ok

which code

[modern marsh]

i deleted all labels and buttons

then made my own button to print the global var

and it works

[mighty breach]

can you show me?

like the code

[modern marsh]

ye

code or screenshot?

[mighty breach]

doesnt matter

[autumn badge]

i agree with you on the thinker vs qt. qt is far superior and easier to use.

right now, i have been using appjar. it is a simplified version of tkinter but it had worked out well for me. but i have hit the ceiling on it on one project.

[modern marsh]

ah i see, so you want to switch back to Qt?

[modern marsh]

that black thing at the top is the button i made

alright, i gotta go now, if you need help i will be back later on

[autumn badge]

dunno yet

just like having options

[modern marsh]

ah alright, good luck :D

[autumn badge]

i made a few apps in pyqt and enjoyed the coding

but i dont like pyqt due to the license

thus why asking about pyside

i have been playing around with flexx, pyjs and the like to have pure python versions of webapps

[modern marsh]

yeah pyside doesnt have license issues afaik

[autumn badge]

yea, pyqt does, pyside doenst

but i have always had issues with pyside actually functioning on my computer

[mighty breach]

@modern marsh where did i initialize the globla

[modern marsh]

at the top

[autumn badge]

and if i made money, i would b happy to pay for a license, but $500/month is steep

[mighty breach]

i dont think it works

the same thing happens

[autumn badge]

going away from pyqt was for the same reason i went away form fusion360. I dont like the idea of being forced to open source my stuff. i usually do, but i dont want to have to

[ionic moat]

I'm pretty sure you're only supposed to pay for a license if you want to use a Qt app commercially and under your own license agreement and private/closed source

otherwise commercial use for Qt should be free as long as you follow their guidelines such as:
Publishing the source code (making it open source)
Giving it an LGPL v3 license
etc

but don't take my word for it I might not be right

[autumn badge]

qt is free

pyqt is not

they changed the license to a stricter license with pyqt

pyside kept it the same

i remember looking a short while ago

[ionic moat]

Pretty sure it still applies for PyQt

[autumn badge]

no

they changed it

[ionic moat]

when?

[autumn badge]

it is stupid too

that is why they can charge

pyside you can make money

pyqt you cant

[ionic moat]

Yeah when?

[autumn badge]

doesnt matter right now because i havent made a dime on my apps

i dont remember when

but i was looking at it about a year ago

i just dont like the forced open source

i am fine with sharing my apps, but not always my source code

what if i want to keep it to myself??

[ionic moat]

I remember it saying you must pay for a commercial license or make it open source & propitiatory under their list of conditions with their chosen license

[autumn badge]

yea

"must make is open source" is what gets me

i tend to open source most of my shit, but i like to have the option of not

thus why i moved away from fusion360. i have a design that coudl let me retire by 40

[ionic moat]

If you don't want to then I think you gotta cough some money

[autumn badge]

but i hate the idea of it on the cloud

[ionic moat]

Yeah I agree it's pretty strict

I don't like their terms but there's nothing I can do

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[autumn badge]

that is why went elsewhere and not with qt based guis

appjar is pretty decent

simple but effective

[ionic moat]

I wonder what my second option would be after Qt 🤔

Basically anything else that's dated and has a designer for it

[autumn badge]

you need a designer?

that is tough then

i also tend to run apps that are a bit more dynamic where the number of items on the gui can change, so i like to code my gui instead

[solid crystal]

I use tkinter, I find it quite useful! It does have a few things that might not be the best, however it gets the job done well.

[autumn badge]

yep

i went with appjar because it is a simplified tkinter

[solid crystal]

You can't really use while loops without breaking some part of it, so it does get annoying.

[autumn badge]

appjar has done well for me thought

[barren elm]

On my last app I settled on pyside. Took some time to learn but eventually got it to work. The problem is that there aren't very good guides for GUIs in python that aren't basic and require threading and such. Especially for PySide/PyQT.

[autumn badge]

i have an app that dynamically builds 90% of the app from a json file

[solid crystal]

Can you install appjar with pip? Never heard of it.

[autumn badge]

yep pip/pip3 install appjar

http://appjar.info/

[solid crystal]

sure, thanks!

I had never hear of it before

[autumn badge]

none of that pack crap

[solid crystal]

it's still under development by the looks of it

[autumn badge]

yea but fully functional

[solid crystal]

Ok, thanks! Will try it out.

[autumn badge]

wrote two apps for it for work a two years ago and still going strong

lots of options in there

i have it pulling form network drives, combining pdfs, importing pdfs, exporting pdfs and xlsx docs

[modern marsh]

Qt docs have everything you need even if its in C++

and you can easily switch between PyQt5 and PySide2 as most of the code is repetitive in both

as far as i have tried

[autumn badge]

yep

[tacit swan]

Please look into this error I'm getting in init.py file

[autumn badge]

your path to logo.png is wrong

[digital rose]

to fix that error keep the logo.png in the same folder as your code

or like loki said enter the correct file path

[barren elm]

Oh trust me. I looked a ton at the docs. Still took time to figure out how to thread my program and transfer data from the thread to the main thread. Especially as someone that was doing it his first time with no past experience in other languages.

I made a stock alerting app for my dad (faster than TD Ameritrade's stuff. Pretty sad lol). Definitely a good learning experience but brutal. Threading info in the QT docs was a bit beyond me. Sometimes I just need something explained like I am five 😆

[modern marsh]

well, thats true lol

[autumn badge]

did you exe it?

[barren elm]

for him yes

[autumn badge]

what did you use?

pyinstaller?

[barren elm]

pyinstaller to make the exe and Advanced Installer to make the actual installer

[autumn badge]

check out nuitka

i just did a test with an app tonight

pyinstaller, 12mb 8 seconds to load
nuitka, 600kb, 2 second load time

i am having issues with my pyinstaller exe files that i have hosted on a network drive lately. now that everyone is working from home and using VPNs, loading time can take up to 30 minutes. When at the office where the servers are physically located, 30 seconds is standard

i am now remote so it takes me about 10 minutes to load the exe. luckily, i can just load the py file and it loads super fast
but my IT dept wont let me have others install python on their computers

[barren elm]

Are you just making it all into a single exe?

[autumn badge]

i have done both.

onefile and not

onefile take a lot longer

[barren elm]

Yeah, onefile is very slow.

[autumn badge]

not really if it is on your computer

it is tolerable at least

but over the network, shoot me

i discovered nuitka today, so i am looking forward to monday

gonna have a few people test it after i recompile my apps

[barren elm]

I will have to play with nuitka. Luckily my app isn't huge as it is.

[autumn badge]

i was surprised by the load time

i want to get it on the network and test it out

if it loads under 1 minute, i will be happy

i host them on the network so i dont have to make an installer or have people update if i make a change

[mighty breach]

anybody wanna trey helping me agaiN?

with tkinter

[autumn badge]

if they all just create a shortcut from the network, all i have to do it swap the exe and it is updated

Hi

I have a doubt with tkinter in python

if anyone knows tkniter and could help me pls dm and help me

[digital rose]

you can post your query here.

[solar frigate]

Hi guys! I was wondering if either of you could point me in the right direction as my current project isn't in my area of expertise.

I store my (anime)series' ratings on an online database (and have access to their API) and want to re-rate most of the series on it (my tastes have changed over the last few years)

I wanted to build an web/or any other interface to help me rate these at speed (using my keyboard only). I was initially thinking of doing this using pygame? Since that's the only GUI library that I have somewhat experience with.

But I was wondering if you guys knew of any other "easier" or elegant way I could get this interface setup quickly.

My main area of comfort in Python is data science, so this just feels quite daunting to me :S

[digital rose]

First of all, pygame isnt a GUI library, it is a game dev library :P. Try something like Tkinter, which is easy and dynamic. Secondly, what kind of interface d you wish to create? and you also need to choose b/w desktop apps, and web apps, for instance. This is because web and desktop apps have a whole set of differences b/w them.

[solar frigate]

I don't know how to explain what kind of interface I want to make. I mean ideally. I want something which cycles through series (or skip) with left/right keys. And then press a number (for new rating) and then press enter. And then perform some sort of a 'mass-update' to the server.

And you're right it is a game-dev library 😅

I just realised, I didn't fully specify my problem earlier.

[digital rose]

ah i get you. Tkinter has a widget called listbox. Just a widget, with items, through which you can scroll. consider this idea (ill post example code if you want):

1. you draw the widget onto the screen.
2. you then add the names of all items you wish to rate.
3. you then record events, for key press. ( for instance, when the selection is on a particular item, and then you press 1, it assigns 1 star to that item.)
4. create a command that creates a table with items in one column and ratings in the second one.

the listbox

[solar frigate]

Okay! I think I can try giving that a go

[digital rose]

this is an example table:

[solar frigate]

Okay, I'm gonna get the boilerplate from the API setup and I'll give this a shot. Thanks

[mighty breach]

Anybody here that can help me with tkinter?

I’ve been stuck for so long and I really need to figure out this issue to continue

Just ask it.

Someone will come around to help but don’t ask to ask

Ok sorry

I have a combobox and I basically just want to current selected value to be stored in a global variable, I am binding the selection to a function that sets the value to a global variable but it’s not working

Hello guys,
i have a trouble with PyQt5 and Python 3.7.9

thats the code of Login Class:

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.lg = Ui_Login_form()
        self.lg.setupUi(self)
        self.checkThread = CheckThread()

        self.lg.btn_login.clicked.connect(self.login)

    def login(self):
        login = self.lg.line_login.text()
        password = self.lg.line_password.text()
        # self.checkThread.thread_login(login, password)
        self.callMessenger()

    def callMessenger(self):
        login = Login()
        login.lg.setupUi(Login_form.hide())
        client = Client()
        client.show()```

and UI file 

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets

class Ui_Login_form(object):

def setupUi(self, Login_form):
    Login_form.setObjectName("Login_form")
    Login_form.resize(270, 205)
    Login_form.setMaximumSize(QtCore.QSize(270, 205))
    font = QtGui.QFont()
    font.setFamily("Calibri")
    font.setPointSize(12)
    Login_form.setFont(font)
    self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(Login_form)
    self.label.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(100, 10, 70, 40))
    font = QtGui.QFont()
    font.setFamily("Calibri")
    font.setPointSize(24)
    self.label.setFont(font)

and etc.
so i  want to call method that opens another UI and closes current with ```hide``` method

i mean i have 1 class with Login form, and with button i want to call another one Form and close current

without closing programm

whats the easiest way to create a hyperlink with tkinter

Does anyone here use Gtk?

The Glib.idle_add(callback, *args, **kwargs) function is supposed to call a callback function when Gtk is idle. From my testing, it seems like the callback is called once, but the documentation seems to hint that the callback is called multiple times. Do you have any idea?

(Please mention me when replying. I won't get a notification otherwise)

Hey, so I'm quite new in Python Tkinter, and I'm currently making a 5-Question Geography Quiz. However; I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong in a certain bit of my code. So basically, the first question, if the user selects the correct answer, I want the program to output a Label saying "Correct", but then I also want a delay in between the Label showing and the window closing and moving onto the next question. When it's ran, I click submit on the first question after selecting the correct answer, and the button stays pressed down for the 2 seconds I set it for, but doesn't show the Label saying "Correct". Here is the code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/teravoleme.apache

[tranquil lichen]

good evening. I wanted to build a graphical petri net editor, so i can specify my code as a petri net and automagically generate a C++ code template from it for embedded targets. There is a little bit more to it, but it's not important for this particular question.

I need to understand how i can create clickable and draggable graphs in python; I have looked at networkx, it's not really suitable since it's only for the graph part; Then there was qt. But is qt flexible enough to have something like clickable circles without a lot of work (e.g. mouse events, tracking circles and having to calculate distances and things like that.?

it looks something like this:

What would be a good starting point to do things like these? I have thought about managing the data in adjacency matrices (or even networkx!) and certain containers for the T_n things and present it using qt5, but the drawing part is what seems hard to me with these boxes, lots of arrows and lines and circles each clickable and dragable. I have never programmed a single GUI in my life, so literature recommendations are welcome too.

i don't wish to spend a terrible lot of time with GUIs though as I come from the domain of systems and control theory and would rather treat it as a tool for something else, but just enough so that it works.

[tranquil lichen]

Hey, that sounds like something comparable. How is your idea going on? Are you progressing and mind you share your insights? I'd be very happy ! 🙂

[rain quarry]

decided to work on the back-end first, UI will come later

turns out doing real-time audio in C++ in a blocking fashion is awful

[tranquil lichen]

Would it be OK for you if i dm'd you to ask you more about it?

[rain quarry]

sure

[hybrid spindle]

So whenever I use tkinter, I get these annoying boxes that pop up over the duration of the program. Over the course of the program, they continuously build up until I'm left with an unruly amount littering the screen.

root = tk.Tk() badfits = simpledialog.askstring(title='Bad Fits?', prompt = 'Change Fits? (y/n): ') root.quit()

This is literally all I do for tk. My impression that root.quit() was supposed to close the box.

[modern marsh]

try root.destroy()

and according to docs, only one instance of Tk() should be present for a program
consider using one Tk() and others can be Toplevel()'s
i am not very sure of this though

[viscid sluice]

Hey! I am hopping that someone could explain how the PyQt5 licensing works? In my particular use case, I developed an gui to visualize some data captured from sensor. If I make the software opensource under MIT licence can I still sell the executable without needing a commercial licence for PyQt5? The software is also tide to the hardware so could I just sell the hardware and then offer the software for free?

[modern marsh]

Idk PyQt5 license exactly but you can just change the imports to PySide 2 and it will work the same with some small changes needed

[digital rose]

please help

can someone tell me why this isnt working?

u see the first box

its supposed to be styled to the styling i pu

put

idk why its not working

this is using the pyqt5 designer app

[winter folio]

does anyone know how to remove an uninstalled shortcut from the bash source file on linux ubuntu?

[unique forge]

why is it one line below?

it should be on the top line

[tender roost]

does that even matter?

[modern marsh]

is it QLinearGradient maybe?

[unique forge]

it might

[unique forge]

no, it works for me when it is all lowercase

[modern marsh]

oh alright

[unique forge]

actually

the problem is you're using border-color

you need to do it like this

border-left: 1px solid qlineargradient(bla bla bla);
border-right: 1px solid qlineargradient(bla bla bla);
border-top: 1px solid qlineargradient(bla bla bla);
border-bottom: 1px solid qlineargradient(bla bla bla);

[tender roost]

is that not redundant

ill try it out

[unique forge]

yes, but it works

[tender roost]

what are the parameters qlinear gadient takes?

is it

just three values

its a gradient

wos

so

where do i put the other values

Good day, all! I've got a peculiarity with PyQt 6 I'm working through.

    def current_weight_edit(self):
        current_weight = QLineEdit(self)
        current_weight.setPlaceholderText('Current Weight')
        validator = QDoubleValidator(50, 99, 2, current_weight)
        current_weight.setValidator(validator)
        current_weight.editingFinished.connect(partial(self.user_setup, current_weight=current_weight))
        return current_weight


    def user_setup(self, username=None, name=None, starting_weight=None, current_weight=None, height=None):
        if username != None:
            self.user.username = username
            print(f'Username is {username}')
        if name != None:
            self.user.name = name
        if starting_weight != None:
            self.user.starting_weight = int(starting_weight.text())
            print(f'Starting weight is {starting_weight.text()}')
        if current_weight != None:
            self.user.current_weight = int(current_weight.text())
            print(f'Current weight is {current_weight}')
        if height != None:
            self.user.height = int(height.text())
            print(f'Height is {height}')

In the current_weight_edit function, I have the signal to connect to the function below and originally I wanted to just send current_weight=current_weight.text()

but always sends a blank string

The only way I can get it to work is to pass the entire object and then do the text() inside user_setup

How bad is it to make a 2d game in tkinter instead of pygame?? I'm a beginner but I already think I can do it with just what I know in tkinter

[edgy lintel]

it do be like that sometimes

[untold lichen]

anybody interested in chrome specific python applications

things like pycharm

wait not that lol

selenium IDE i mean

brain fart lol

[digital rose]

widget.config(state = DISABLED) is better practice. sometimes the widget might not update properties when you use widget["option"] = optionvalue

[digital rose]

Its not bad really. Tkinter isnt meant for game dev though, but yes you can try out tkinter for "testing", not for making an actual game.

[digital rose]

The code practice you displayed here is quite inefficient. If you make separate functions for each question, it will take you hours to make a 10 minute application. instead you can do something like:
questions=["q1","q2"] answers=["a1","a2"]
now, when you wish to display questions, simply create a label, situated at the top of the window, aligned to the center.
qLabel = Label(window,text=questions[0], font=("DejaVu Sans Mono", "12", "bold")) qLabel.place(x = 400,y=0)
just an example, to show how you create a main label for displaying questions.

now, instead of creating a new window everytime, you simply configure the text of the tk label to change to the next question, everytime you either choose the correct option, or the wrong one.

you can record the index of the questions list, so that you just increment the index, and then update label text:
index=0 # at the starting. ... if answer is correct, index+=1 qLabel.configure(text = questions[index])

@normal frigate

[modern marsh]

it is a quite hard in tkinter, easier in pygame and way better in arcade

[modern marsh]

use Qt instead ;), way better for your health

[grand mica]

Use pygame

[keen oracle]

How is it better? I think all what I need is movable editable transperant images and tkinter was smooth when I tested it

I just load like 50 images at first xd

[grand mica]

Tkinter is used for apps more. Tkinter can be used as a mini game thing but pygame is better for bigger games

[grand mica]

I think it’s easier to learn and there’s more tuts on yt for it

[digital rose]

Ahhhh you dont know how that work

Its disabled the active mode after the mouse not over the widget try that and see

I dont know why tkinter library devs do that but may be important sometimes

So make your own bg and fg instead

[digital rose]

Tkinter is actually not for high games its for gui apps. Use pygame instead

[digital rose]

you can load up to 50 images but not in the same time

[digital rose]

I wouldnt deny what @modern marsh said. Definitely tkinter, or any other GUI lib for instance is not a viable choice for creating games. Not the graphics of the game atleast. Still, as i have already mentioned, using tkinter for testing out your stuff, isnt a bad idea!

[dry moat]

How can I create an interface that works by buttons? three buttons to be exact. 1 that goes up, another that goes down and one that accepts.

[normal frigate]

oh wow thank you! I will be sure to try that out 🙂

[unique forge]

you can use PyQt5

[dry moat]

And how do I do the buttons?

[unique forge]

why dont you learn PyQt5

https://learnpyqt.com

[dry moat]

It seems like a good method to make the interface, now we only need to know how to program the interface so that it functions by means of three buttons, one that goes down, one that goes up and another that accepts.

[unique forge]

did you not check out the website?

[dry moat]

yes

[unique forge]

it has a page on how to make buttons

or, you can always use Qt Designer

[digital rose]

@dry moat doesnt matter which library you use. PyQt5 is great, and so is tkinter. but tkinter stands out from the rest because its easier and far more flexible.

[wooden imp]

As someone who has never worked with Python User Interfaces before(have plenty of experience in other Languages), what is the difference between pyqt and pyside?(aside from the License)

[digital rose]

as far as i know, pyqt doesnt allow you to publish an application commercially, but pyside does. and pyside was developed by Nokia, around 2008 or 10, when Nokia was the owner of the QT project(correct me if im wrong). Not much of a difference between the two, but i still recommend you use PyQt.

[wooden imp]

Reading through their licensing this seems to be false. As long as your commercial use is GPL compatible there seem to be no issue regarding the commercial use.

Unfortunately this does not answer my question why one should choose either pyside or pyqt.

[digital rose]

You need to pay to get a commercial license.

Under pyqt

[wooden imp]

GPL does not forbid commercial use, just proprietary.
PyQT's FAQ says:

Do I need a commercial PyQt license?

It depends entirely on what license you are going to use to distribute your application. If your license is incompatible with the GPL then you need a commercial PyQt license. If your license is also incompatible with the LGPL then you also need a commercial Qt license. (Note that some parts of Qt, QtCharts and Qt Data Visualization for example, are licensed under the GPL rather than the LGPL.)```
If I understood this correctly and I have no reason to believe I didnt then this means that you do not need a commercial license to use pyqt commercially if your commercial use is GPL compliant

Still this all has nothing to do with my Question of what the practical difference between the two is.

[rugged patio]

you just cant make money with the normal one

[worthy ridge]

the licences are carry forward

[wooden imp]

Nothing in their License says that. GPL can absolutely be used commercially( https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLCommercially )

Example of this would be A paying B to program FizzBuzz. B develops FizzBuzz but uses a GPL Library to do so. To account for that B will release FizzBuzz under the GPL License which means that when distributing it to A, A will receive the source code and is free to redistribute FizzBuzz, but neither A nor B has to distribute FizzBuzz to the world(but are allowed to if they wish to do so).

---

But all of this has nothing to do with my question:

What is the difference between PyQt and PySide in practical application? Are there any functional differences?

[sudden coral]

Yes there are

[stray coral]

@stuck vine I found this article pretty helpful: https://www.learnpyqt.com/blog/pyqt6-vs-pyside6/
I just swapped from PyQt5 to pyside6 and the conversion of my project was not very painful. As to practical differance pyside allows for example snake_case as shown in the article.

[sudden coral]

Each has some gaps in their implementations of Qt functions

https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python_Missing_Bindings

Official docs have the list

[stray coral]

also some different namings in some cases.
PyQT its pyqtSignal, pyqtSlot and pyqtProperty, while pyside its Signal, Slot and Property

I have a Qt question.

How to manage drag and drop when you have multiple QLists, QTrees and QTable widgets?

I need my top table to drag to the bottom Channel Lists.

So dragging "Crow calls" to the bottom left Bird Calls channels QList.
I also need to drag from the scenes Qlist to the groups QTree.
And disallow any other drag and drop behavior, meaning no dragging from the top audio_file_table to the groups_tree.

I assume I could do this by re implementing the dropEvent() and check origin but wondered if there is a simpler way?

in other words I need to disallow drops from certain sources.

[sudden coral]

Have you tried setting the ItemFlags?

Does that only work globally?

Yeah, probably. I can't think of anything else besides overwriting the event then

[stray coral]

Think I might have to get into dropEvent regardless, since want some very specific behavior. Just gonna read up on the docs. .

@fallen forge I also found this tutorial video series very helpful in learning pyqt https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj7i-mmOjLV17YTPIrCPkog

He does both Tkinter and PyQt, but I have only watched his pyqt5 videos and they have been a great resource for me at least

[digital rose]

Can someone help me with a gui

c# or python idm

Like this

but obv without the ddos panel part

I'm on iMac

[nocturne zealot]

wtf....

[digital rose]

what?

lol

Skids these days

i dont want the ddos tool lmao

Just the Gui

[fallen copper]

the george floyd decorated gui?

nice bro..

[unique forge]

@digital rose bruhhhhhhhh

btw yes, you can

[digital rose]

Shii

Can you send me a dm ill work on it tmrw

[unique forge]

no I will not send you a DM

[remote ruin]

Hello. I'm trying to open multiple windows, but somehow its not working. Show in class EdupageClientIndex is terminating it (at least i think, because when i remove it, app wont exit with code 0). If anyone here knows the solution for my problem, hit me up. Thanks
I'm using pyqt5

[iron mural]

whats the best thing to use to make a modern design for a gui for py

[modern marsh]

PyQt5

with QtCreator or QtDesigner for making quick, beautiful GUI's

[shy sapphire]

what is the best way to create a UI for a python program

[modern marsh]

use a GUI module like PyQt5, Kivy or tkinter

and some more

[unique forge]

Qt Designer definetely

oops replied to wrong person

[modern marsh]

lol

[modern willow]

Xd

[dry moat]

What do you think about pygame?

I mean, for doing simple UI

That can interactuate with gpio ports from a Raspberry Pi and some Shell commands

I just want a UI with some text and rectangles, nothing very complex

[ionic remnant]

TkInter is very easy to use for a simple GUI and is a built-in module

[unique forge]

Tkinter is not easy at all!

It's very frustrating to use, and it looks like the 1990s

and the stylesheets are not as advanced as Qt to make it look modern

[ionic remnant]

oh ok

[proper oar]

take a look at the qt_material themes

https://pypi.org/project/qt-material/

[unique forge]

@proper oar what's this for?

[proper oar]

pyqt5 pyside2 and pyside6

[unique forge]

what's it for though

I was talking about how Tkinter has bad stylesheets compared to PyQt

[proper oar]

ohh my bad i must have read that wrong

[unique forge]

I didn't say PyQt had bad stylesheets, I said it had good stylesheets!

thanks anyway

[proper oar]

no worries

[modern marsh]

How do I add the properties to a button, like it changing colour while hovering on it , etc without using QSS or QtQuick?

That is, just the PyQt5 module

[digital rose]

In my opinion, "PyQT5" and their series aren't a good UI making software.

[modern marsh]

Oh, why so

[digital rose]

Because there are better options.

[modern marsh]

Like?

[digital rose]

I have my own UI interface module, which I think is the best UI making software to make desktop applications.

[modern marsh]

Umm ok

Available for the public?

[digital rose]

The module?

[modern marsh]

Ye

[digital rose]

Only for Equant Engineers.

[modern marsh]

Oh alright

[digital rose]

I can show you some examples.

[modern marsh]

Any alternative to Qt that is also Available for the public

?

I have seen your UI's

[digital rose]

Oh ok.

Did you like them?

[modern marsh]

Yes

[digital rose]

Not really, I recommend to not use a designer, like "PyQT5" and start from code.

Because from there, you can start learning advanced graphics, and learn how to use advanced shading.

[modern marsh]

Code??

[digital rose]

I made my module in C++, since it's much more fluent in algorithms.

[modern marsh]

Qt is in C++ too

[digital rose]

I don't recommend it.

My module for C++ will be public, how ever, Equant will be making our own coding language to make desktop applications, which the module will be released there.

[modern marsh]

Nice

[digital rose]

Anyone know if matplotlib and PyQt6 play well together?

[digital rose]

My tkinter gui window isn't responding once I press a button

[modern marsh]

is there a blocking process going on in the background?

[digital rose]

I'm accessing website and downloading media using requests

[modern marsh]

yeah , try using threading to solve the problem

[hushed ingot]

im trying to make a ui with pyqt and want to know why the dialog is immediately called instead of there being a login button to call it

class MyWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyWindow, self).__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Chat Application")
        self.setGeometry(0, 0, 400, 400)
        self.name = ""
        self.LOGIN = False
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        while True:
            self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(self)
            self.label.setText("A Label")
            self.label.move(100, 100)
            if not self.LOGIN:
                self.dialogbtn = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self)
                self.dialogbtn.setText("Login")
                self.dialogbtn.clicked.connect(self.showDialog())


    def showDialog(self):
        text, ok = QtWidgets.QInputDialog.getText(self, "Username", "Please enter a username here")
        if ok:
            self.LOGIN = True
            self.name = text

[modern marsh]

you are calling it in connect(self.showDialog())

what you should do is - connect(self.showDialog)

[digital rose]

Pygame is a game library.

Tkinter is easier than any other lib, especially QT.

Not that im being biased or anything, its just the best for beginners, or atleast for people who wish to make simpler UI.

It might look old-fashioned, but theres a lot of stuff you can do to make modern styled spreadsheets.

Its just that no one wishes to look into it, its their ego that stops them 😉

[unique forge]

@modern marsh you should stick with Qt

[unique forge]

I disagree, it is very frustrating to use, and looks like the 1990s, because the stylesheets aren't as good as Qt's own QSS

also, Qt has Qt Designer and Qt Creator for easy drag and drop UIs

[modern marsh]

eh?

yeah Qt is better than tkinter ofc

py devs in their talks themselves say about limitations that tkinter has

the only good thing that i can find about tkinter is that it comes with py therefore, no extra dependencies

and about tkinter being easier than Qt, yes, for simpler GUI's

but hell na, for complex stuff

[digital rose]

Do I have to use sleep in command or start I'm new to threading

[modern marsh]

sleep?

oh like, time.sleep()

[digital rose]

Yes

[modern marsh]

there is a tkinter_object.after() for that

[proven basin]

Hey @digital rose!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[digital rose]

the code is here

[lost dragon]

What is better and why (to for example, change the text of a Label in tkinter)

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
label = tk.Label(master=root, text="Hello World!")
label.pack()

root.after(0, lambda: [label.configure(text='Hi')])
root.mainloop()

Or

import threading as t
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
label = tk.Label(master=root, text="Hello World!")
label.pack()

update_thread = t.Thread(func=lambda: [label.configure(text='Hi')], daemon=True)
update_thread.start()
root.mainloop()

[amber roost]

@lost dragon Definitely the after method; accessing widgets from other threads has a chance of causing very unexpected behavior and errors. If you are working on thread communication, I recommend a queue a self-rescheduling after method checks repeatedly and a thread writing into the queue. This way the thread will never access tk widgets.

[lost dragon]

Oh ok thanks!

If you are working on thread communication, I recommend a queue a self-rescheduling after method checks repeatedly and a thread writing into the queue. This way the thread will never access tk widgets.
Could you simplify/say it in a diff way? Not sure what you mean

[digital rose]

is there any way i run threads again and again

[amber roost]

Maybe this helps you understand (although the code could certainly be better), the thread only knows of the queue and the queue is checked by the after callback:https://gist.github.com/Square789/46b0fdf0905c229567798ff9f3ebc275

[lost dragon]

oh ok thanks!

[amber roost]

Threads can only be run once, so you'd need to create a new one with the same parameters and start that one again

[digital rose]

# IGTV
igtv_window = Toplevel(root)
igtv_window.title("DOWNLOAD IGTV VIDEO")
igtv_window.geometry("1100x600+50+10")

bg = PhotoImage(file="IG.png")
f = ("CALIBRI", 20, "bold")

label4 = Label(igtv_window, image=bg)
label4.place(x=0, y=0)

canvas4 = Canvas(igtv_window, width=400, height=400)
canvas4.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
canvas4.create_image(0, 0, image=bg,  anchor="nw")
#canvas4.create_text(400,250,text="Enter URL:",font=("Helvetica", 20), fill="white")
igtv_url_lbl = Label(igtv_window, text="Enter URL :",
                     width=20, font=f, bg='#8a3ab9')
igtv_url_ent = Entry(igtv_window, width=20, font=f)
igtv_url_lbl_canvas = canvas4.create_window(
    350, 100, anchor="nw", window=igtv_url_lbl)
igtv_url_ent_canvas = canvas4.create_window(
    350, 200, anchor="nw", window=igtv_url_ent)


button_igtv = Button(igtv_window, font=f, width=20,
                     text="DOWNLOAD IGTV VIDEO", command=threading.Thread(target=downloadigtv).start)
button_igtv.pack(pady=20)
# button_igtv.after(3000,button_igtv.destroy)
button_igtv_back = Button(igtv_window, font=f, width=20,
                          text="BACK", command=lambda: back(3))
button_igtv_back.pack(pady=20)

[amber roost]

This way the button will be targeted at the start method of a thread that is created together with the button; Wrap it in a lambda (you'll need to call start then), which will cause a thread to be created each time the lambda is run / the button is clicked

[digital rose]

okay thanks

[digital rose]

How can such a simple library be a source of frustration?

[digital rose]

it will be frustrating, unless you dont understand it of course.

[unique forge]

it takes so long to position something exactly where you want it

[digital rose]

You need to do that while making GUIs.

You need the perfect position of course.

[unique forge]

not with Qt Designer

also, tkinter just doesnt look good

[digital rose]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[unique forge]

the only good thing about tkinter is you dont have to download it

[digital rose]

Why do you think it doesnt look good? and do you not know how to make it look good?

[unique forge]

it looks like the 90s, and the stylesheets aren't good enough to make it look modern

[digital rose]

Plus, i dont see a** BIG** difference in how QT's core UI looks and that of tk

style sheets is a whole new topic. Core UI is what I talk of.

[unique forge]

yeah, then they look similar

but Qt is just easier

and more advanced

[digital rose]

I still dont understand how it is "easier". What is your definition of "easier" and "advanced"?

[unique forge]

Qt has more features

than tkinter

PyQt is easier because first, it has a drag and drop Designer

[digital rose]

That is not related to programming in any sense.

[unique forge]

second, PyQt doesnt need to be packed, or putt in a grid, you just make the widget

and it shows up

[digital rose]

.

Any recommendations on a graphing library to pair with PyQt? I wanted to use Matplotlib, but they haven't updated for Qt6

[unique forge]

Use Qt5 then

Qt5 and Qt6 are pretty much the same

[digital rose]

'''```py
button_igtv = Button(igtv_window, font=f, width=20,
text="DOWNLOAD IGTV VIDEO", command=lambda: threading.Thread(target=download(3)).start)

but the windows are freezing

Try putting the command for the button in a separate function, rather than Lambda.

[amber roost]

what Viseur said may help too once the lambda gets too long, but the problem probably is that download(3) kicks off a long running function and that the thread isn't even started. to pass arguments to a function in a thread, use args=(3,)

[digital rose]

Thanks, Famous8, but I'd rather just stick with 6. I'm open to any library that works with Qt6.

If there aren't any, I'll downgrade, though.

[digital rose]

Hey guys, i'd like to make a small UI in terminal with a margin on top and a margin on bottom where some variables values will be show and refreshed every X milliseconds
In the middle of that i'd like to see the standard prints of my program
Do you have any idea on how to achieve that ? I've seen curses library but i'm not sure it's what i'm looking for

[digital rose]

Ok so i've almost found wjat i was looking for with https://github.com/willmcgugan/rich
The following code is working well except for the middle part

from rich.layout import Layout
from rich.live import Live
from rich.text import Text
import time

text = Text("Hello, World!")
text.stylize("bold magenta", 0, 6)
layout = Layout()
layout.split_column(
    Layout(name="upper"),
    Layout(text, name="middle"),
    Layout(name="lower")
)
i = 0
with Live(layout,  refresh_per_second=10):
    while True:
        layout["upper"].update(str(i))
        text.append("\n"+str(i))
        i += 1
        time.sleep(0.001)
        layout["lower"].update(str(i))

I can't find a way to clear the middle part text so the newer lines can't be displayed
here's the output

in the middle part (from Hello World to 5) we should see something like

1768
1769
1770
1771
1772
1773```

Try out UrWid.

download at: https://pypi.org/packages/source/u/urwid/urwid-2.1.2.tar.gz

[digital rose]

some basic widgets

[digital rose]

yeah worked well thanks

[digital rose]

finally its solved thanks i learned new concept of threading

[digital rose]

nice. even though obfuscated code, something like this:
# getting an array of only odd numbers from 1 to 10 odds = [i for i in range(1, 10) if i%2!=0]
might seem like a good practice but it isnt.

code, that uses obscure language features is something neither meant to be put into production, nor is readable or maintainable.

[digital rose]

ah nice I hate arrays

[remote violet]

I have made an desktop app in Adobe XD and I’ve made a script in python but now I want to connect those two. What’s is the best/easiest way to do this?

[digital rose]

Yeah obscure code just looks like small but it's not that good

Got it

[digital rose]

You want to run another python file in a python file?

[remote violet]

I’ve created a UI in Adobe XD and I have created a webscraping tool in Python but now I want to connect those so if I write a SKU of something in de desktop app it will appear at a soecific place in my script!

[digital rose]

why have you created the UI in adobe xd? does it serve a specific purpose?

you might want to get your hands on some utility library that helps you deal with .xd files.

@remote violet

[remote violet]

I’ve created it in Adobe XD because I’m good at it 😂

[digital rose]

i dont really get it.

do you wish to get some data from the UI itself?

[remote violet]

Like if I have a form in my UI that if I fill that it fills a specific place in my script

Like if you enter information for a mailing list

(Sorry but I’m not good at explaining things)

[digital rose]

"fills a specific place in my script" why are you trying to show data in the python script? that data should be written to something like a txt file.

[remote violet]

So that if a user puts his information in a form (like name and email etc) it will fill it in my python script so my script can run with the information of the user

[digital rose]

Ahh

I get you

So basically what you need to do is simply grab the data of the form, and write it to a text file, and name it something like userinfo.txt. now, everytime the user opens the form, you can access the text file, and fill in the details from it.

[remote violet]

Kind of but it needs to happen automatically

[digital rose]

"automatically"?

you can throw in some popup asking the user to save info, like a couple of browsers do.

then only trigger the function that saves information into the text file.

check out xdtools to work with .xd files.

https://pypi.org/project/xdtools/

[remote violet]

email =
first_name =
last_name =
Category =

like this

[digital rose]

.

[remote violet]

lemme look

dont really understand what it does

[digital rose]

why dont you try doing something to get data in XD itself?

[remote violet]

How do you mean?

Parts of my python script?

@digital rose

[digital rose]

I believe there is a way to add a command to buttons?

Maybe just learn a UI lib in Python instead! 😅

[remote violet]

I’m gonna look into it

Thanks for your help

[viral nimbus]

Hey, i want to assign multiple functions to a button but the second function doesnt execute when i click the button. It works when i only connect the second function to the button. That's the code snipped:

ui.button_start.clicked.connect(lambda: bot.accept_request(loop=True))
ui.button_start.clicked.connect(lambda: ui.button_start.setText("Stop"))

i already searched on the internet and they say that it should work, but it doesn't :(

I'm happy about every answer! :)

[icy totem]

Hi falk,

Try this way:
ui.button_start.clicked.connect(lambda: (bot.accept_request(loop=True), ui.button_start.setText("Stop")))

EDIT: Second function will be executed after first function is executed

[viral nimbus]

@spiral karma stop spamming

[viral nimbus]

thanks, but it executes the function

even when i dont click the button

ah i forgot the brackets

but it still doesnt modify the button

[icy totem]

😦
I just realised, I didnt commented my previous instruction. I added a print as second function:
self.aboutButton.clicked.connect(self.showDialogApp) self.aboutButton.clicked.connect(lambda: (self.showDialogApp, print("Button pressed!")))

Commenting the first line does not really perform both functions 😦

[viral nimbus]

oh lol i figured it out

it actually changes the button text but it only updates when the second function is finished

is there a way to refresh a button manually?

like

    ui.button_start.setText("Stop")
    win.refresh()
    function_that_takes_long()

[wooden imp]

So I am looking into writing a generalistic form for pyqt that takes in a SQLAlchemy object renders it in an editable way and then returns the(possibly) changed object when pressing save.
Before I spend a sizable amount of time for that I would be interested whether or not that is already implemented by someone in a convenient to use way

[ivory ember]

now I don't know much SQL, but PyQt5 has a QtSQL module based on SQLite. You could probably use a QTableWidget to show the data and a save button.

[wooden imp]

Unfortunately there is no way to not use SQLALchemy and use build ins. Its a desktop frontend for an already existing system. What I am seeking to emulate is djangos ModelForm(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/forms/modelforms/) because I am dealing with approx 20 different models and I have 0 Interest in writing forms for each.

[kindred canyon]

How can I make 3 text boxes with each labeled and then whatever you have inputted for the boxes go in their respected variables. Then you press a start button to enter the vars and go with the rest of the code.? Tkinter btw.

[viral nimbus]

hey, I have a GUI that has a button and when i click the button it changes the text to stop and runs a Selenium session, but i want to kill that session when i click the button again, I dont know how i can do that. that's my current code:

    # Display gui
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_MainWindow()
    ui.setup_ui(win)

    start_btn = ui.button_start

    start_btn.clicked.connect(
        lambda: (accept_request_thread(), start_btn.setText("STOP" if not start_btn.text() == "STOP" else 
    "START"))
    )


    def accept_request_thread():
        if start_btn.text() == "START":
            bot = Bot()
            t = threading.Thread(target=lambda: bot.accept_request(loop=True)).start()
        else:
            print("Closing driver because text is", start_btn.text())
            bot.driver.quit()


    win.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

[patent cave]

Can someone give any opinions regarding PySide vs PyQt? I know Qt itself well and have done a lot with PyQt back in the day. I haven't used Qt nor PyQt that much for a few years and it seems that Qt itself pushes PySide. Does it do something better than PyQt?

[digital rose]

when i disable a button in tkinter how can i make it not grey out

[plush stream]

As far as i know there's very little difference between pyqt and pyside, both have the same features but pyside have different license and you can use it for commercial use, pyqt is the other way around.

[digital rose]

not much of a difference really.

[digital rose]

just add a command to the button that just says "pass"
def button_Command():pass
mybutton = Button(.. .. .. .. , command = button_Command) mybutton.pack()

this will make the button not do anything, but is not greyed out at the same time.

[prisma citrus]

Any way to integrate a command line interface in a Python GUI app?

[digital rose]

how do you want to integrate them?

[prisma citrus]

Like, I should be able to make a Frame or something in Tkinter, which would act as a placeholder for the cli window, which I can use as a simple command line window

Background color kwarg, if I am right

[latent compass]

lemme try

[prisma citrus]

@latent compass works?

[latent compass]

dont think so

[prisma citrus]

What did u do?

[latent compass]

just add **kw

[prisma citrus]

Ouch

kw

Do u know what that does?

[latent compass]

just vs showed it 👁️

[prisma citrus]

No?

Wait

U wanna make it transparent?

U can't make it transparent....

[latent compass]

[digital rose]

do you want to add some color to the widget background?

@latent compass

[latent compass]

no i want to make it transparent

[digital rose]

yes you can do it. @latent compass

see this:
`# tkinter example, changes window bitmap to a transparent style:

21 July, 2017

from tkinter import *
__window= Tk()
__window.config(bg="white")
__window.wm_attributes("-transparentcolor","white")
__window.mainloop()
`
so now whenever you set the window color to white, it makes the window transparent.
PS: Works only on Windows.

for macOS:
__window.wm_attributes("-transparent",True)

now, to make the widget transparent:
# for windows: __window.wm_atributes("-transparentcolor","white") button=Button(__window,text="click me",bg="white") button.pack()

`

for macOS:

__window.wm_attributes("-transparent",True)

BTW, what's the difference between tk and tcl?

Do u know?

Tcl is a scripting language. Tk is a GUI creator for Tcl.

[prisma citrus]

Oh

Lol

Thanks for telling!

[digital rose]

yes you can do that.

you can embed windows in tkinter Frame().

[prisma citrus]

@digital rose windows command prompt?

How?

[digital rose]

you can embed a pygame window in a tkinter frame.

or any other python window atleast.

[digital rose]

*** a window**

[prisma citrus]

[digital rose]

@rugged marsh you can post your query here.

[rugged marsh]

Oh my problem was solved already. Thanks though :)

[digital rose]

no problem.

tkinter seems to not want to work with a while true loop

even though i initiate the instance before starting the while true loop

it just doesnt want to open a window up

from tkinter import *

def getchat(file):
    file.seek(0,1)
    while True:
        line = file.readline(0)
        if not line:
            continue
        elif "[Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] ONLINE:" in line:
            getstats(line[49:])
        elif "[Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] Your new API key is" in line:
            recieve_api_key(line[61:])

def main():
    print('maining') #debug line
    getchat(open(os.getenv("APPDATA")+"/.minecraft/logs/blclient/minecraft/latest.log", "r"))

root = Tk()
main()```

when i ran the code before i added in the call to `main()` the gui would launch

after it just doesnt launch

i dont get any errors

it just doesnt launch the gui

[digital rose]

so youre just trying to read from a text file?

with tkinter?

@ripe igloo

[ripe igloo]

well i was planning to do something with the stuff in the text file

and then display it with tkinter

[digital rose]

ah

reading from a text file is like a one liner.

[ripe igloo]

its just that i literally cannot get the little tkinter box to open up no matter how hard i try

with the call to main()

[digital rose]

like this:

lines=open("test.txt").read().splitlines()

this gives you a list of lines in the text file.

[digital rose]

which box are you talking of? @ripe igloo

[ripe igloo]

this little thing

[digital rose]

this is the window.

it must mean that the code before instancing the window doesnt work.

[ripe igloo]

except i dont call any code before instancing it

[digital rose]

^^

before you create the root window, you call in some code.

namely the getchat() function.

[ripe igloo]

i put it right underneath the imports

it still refuses to work

[digital rose]

is that the full code?

[ripe igloo]

ill mystbin the full code

https://mystb.in/BulgariaTreasureBetting.python

even running it like this doesnt work

it goes right to main

[digital rose]

put in root=Tk() before the main() and add root.mainloop() at the very end.

[ripe igloo]

no dice

https://mystb.in/DischargeVisitingShop.python new code

[digital rose]

?

[ripe igloo]

didnt work

[digital rose]

i said root.mainloop() at the very end.

after input

[ripe igloo]

ah

ok i see the problem

mainloop has some sort of while true loop or smt

because i put mainloop before main and main doesnt run but tkinter does

i put main before mainloop and tkinter doesnt run

[digital rose]

yes.

mainloop() keeps the window running.

[ripe igloo]

so id have to async this somehow huh?

[digital rose]

nah.

mainloop() is fine.

[ripe igloo]

its one or the other

[digital rose]

is your code working now?

[ripe igloo]

its either main or tkinter so no

ill try to hack this together somehow

thanks for the help!

[digital rose]

no need to.

is it creating the window now?

[ripe igloo]

it creates it if i put mainloop before main

but then main doesnt run

it's fine, I'll find a way to put it together

[digital rose]

^

it needs to be at the end.

[ripe igloo]

doesn't work that way

[digital rose]

you cant call something after it.

[ripe igloo]

if I put it after main it doesn't work

it's fine, I'm gonna take a break and come back to it in the morning

thanks!

[digital rose]

sure.

you can ping me.
