[modern marsh]

some other guy here talked about another module but i forgot what it was

ahh yes, its called nutika

[exotic mauve]

ok

do you know how to run a python script onclick button in qt?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/etodozidez.py this is the code that i want to be executed

i put that exact code inside a function that will be called when a button is clicked

    def clicked(self):
        self.pushButton.setText("clicked")

        def detect(save_img=False):
...(and so on..)

to make sure that the function works, i put that .setText("clicked")

now when i run it and click the button, the text has changed to "clicked" but there is no other window appears

[exotic mauve]

if I run this code directly, a window appears

anyone knows what's causing the problem

[exotic mauve]

oh well fixed it myself

using os.system instead to run a cmd command that runs that file

[plush stream]

Holy crap i've managed to apply the Acrylic material blur onto pyqt/pyside

I thought it was impossible

[ivory ember]

sweet, mind showing how you did it?

cause that looks sick

[plush stream]

It's involving some ctypes and win32 api

I found some explanation of it but it's in Chinese so i had to GTranslate it

[ivory ember]

lol

well good job man

[plush stream]

I could share the code though

[ivory ember]

by all means

[modern marsh]

uhh cant you just do QMainWindow.setAttribute(Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground)?

[plush stream]

Nah mate it'll just show a window with black background

[modern marsh]

oh ok

[icy totem]

Nice 👍

[icy totem]

QMainWindow.setAttribute(Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground) --> Will set window background to transparent
QMainWindow.setWindowOpacity(0.80) --> Will set window opacity including widgets

[plush stream]

By adding one more component: QtWinExtras.QtWin.enableBlurBehindWindow(self) you could get something like the picture attached

[modern marsh]

ohh

nice

[digital rose]

anyone here good with tkinter

[ivory ember]

afraid not, PyQt5 is "da wae"

[digital rose]

How would you display a lot of data from a db even if using pyqt5

I have tried using a treeview but it makes the window way too big

[modern marsh]

oh wait, so, using the MousePressEvent in Qt, i can simulate the transparency seen in linux ?

thats awesome

[ivory ember]

sql?

[digital rose]

yes

but its a lot of data

[ivory ember]

a QTableView?

maybe make different tabs

and each tab has a table

[digital rose]

Thank you very much, I didnt even think of that!

[ivory ember]

np my man

[modern marsh]

you can use treeview too, i am sure there is a way to adjust sizes

[icy totem]

Had you apply blur on Windows 10? Or it only works for Windows 7/8?

[ivory ember]

Kind of interested in the full code myself

[plush stream]

The "Acrylic" material blur is only available in windows 10 i think. If you want to apply aero blur on win7/8 you could just use the QtWinExtras.QtWin.enableBlurBehindWindow(self)

Aero blur also works on windows 10 but you had to access it via the c library like Acrylic material blur

[icy totem]

OK

Thanks @plush stream for this clarification

[plush stream]

I might upload the source when i had the time 👍

[ivory ember]

alr, thx

[icy totem]

This page is a good starting point how to use this efect:
https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.11/qtwinextras-musicplayer-example.html#dwm-features

[plush stream]

This is how aero looks like in win10

[ivory ember]

i only get a darkly-transparent background, no actual blur

[icy totem]

@ivory ember : Same happens to me. But I think (maybe) it is because we are using win10 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[foggy minnow]

Hi, I've only recently started with Qt / PySide2. I have a backend done in python and interface defined in QML.
I can't figure out working with aQChart/ LineSeries defined in QML and data passed from a python backend. I can create without issues a simple plot in QML itself, as presented in Qt examples, but I'm completely lost on how to pass data from python backend to the QChart.
Could anyone provide an example with data passed from python to qml chart, or at least point me towards right direction?

[proud walrus]

any good PyQt5 tuto? im tired of tkinter

[digital rose]

what should I use for deving a GUI?

Tkinter?

[ivory ember]

Mastering GUI Programming with Python by Alan D. Moore (it's from Packt), it's how I learned. Really good book.

[ivory ember]

Tkinter is arguably easier and it comes with python but can be limiting and old-looking. Like a lot of the other people here, I'd recommend PyQt5. Given the learning curve is pretty steep, but find a good book (like the one I recommended or another) or other resource and grind. I can help if you have any trouble 👍.

[digital rose]

thanks my guy

[ivory ember]

👍

[proud walrus]

@ivory ember Thanks for the recommendation. As you already know PyQt5, how difficult it is, or how difficult it was for you to learn?

[ivory ember]

Hmm, that book explains it well. From an objective point of view though, maybe 6-8/10 difficulty.

[proud walrus]

Ah, i see. Would you mind showing me something you made so i can get an idea of what it can do?

[surreal whale]

Anyone here very familiar with matplotlib? I'm trying to figure out the best way to know if a figure has finished the drawing operation after calling a method such as canvas.draw() on the figure canvas. Any help with that would be great!

[ivory ember]

mb, didn't see

sure thing

[proven basin]

Hey @ivory ember!

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

[ivory ember]

bruh

discord has the new preview thing

oh well

[proud walrus]

lol

[ivory ember]

one moment

https://pastebin.com/iZR3AzJk

created app/window looks like this:

[proud walrus]

Yh i saw it. Nice

[ivory ember]

i call it simple as you can style the crap out of PyQt5 using stylesheets, animations, fonts, palettes, etc.

which that app doesn't have

[proud walrus]

im pretty creative when it comes to UI design... i once made a little program the will give me proxies for quick use. mind if i send a screenshot of it?

[ivory ember]

by all means

[proud walrus]

I made it with tkinter

[ivory ember]

nice

like the dark styling 👍

[proud walrus]

Thanks. it goes well with the default Linux Mint window manager boarders lol

[ivory ember]

lol

dm me if u need help with pyqt5

i gtg rn

[proud walrus]

alright, goodbye

[neon ravine]

Hello people

is anyone experimented with Tkinter ?

[modern marsh]

a lot of people say that tkinter is old looking and yes, tk widgets look old and do not look good at all on high DPI screens

but ttk widgets look way better

anyways Qt FTW

[ivory ember]

ofc there is someone who knows Tkinter here, simply ask your question.

[neon ravine]

Ah I see :p

Okay so I'm trying to simple create a button, but when I try compiling, I get 'str' object has no attribute 'tk'

here's my code

https://pastebin.com/kQj5ZdHR

also, error is at line 51

[modern marsh]

B = Button(TOP, text ="Hello", command = helloCallBack)

what exactly is TOP here?

oh my bad, its part of the * import

[neon ravine]

ah yes sorry

it is indeed

it's very strange because this is one of the most simple thing you can do using Tkinter, and it just doesn't work

[lone portal]

Isnt TOP an alias for "top" ?

which goes into side attribute of widget.pack()

@neon ravine

[neon ravine]

yes it is

[lone portal]

you are supposed to pass Tk object

[neon ravine]

i'm doing .pack if that's what you mean

[lone portal]

wait, let me come on my laptop, then I'll tell you

[neon ravine]

alright :p

[lone portal]

okay, so TOP is used to tell the side in the pack method of a tkinter widget

B = Button(TOP, text ="Hello", command = helloCallBack)

[neon ravine]

so it should be side=TOP ?

[lone portal]

nope

See, Button is a widget, and side attribute is a part of widget.pack() method

[neon ravine]

oooh in the .pack

I see

[lone portal]

when you do, Button.pack(side=TOP)

[neon ravine]

yes it does work 😄

[lone portal]

thats where you should be passing TOP

[neon ravine]

thank you ^^

[lone portal]

and instead of TOP in the Button()

you should be passing your window

tkinter widgets take master attribute which tells where they are packed or grid or placed.

B = Button(master=root, ....)

[neon ravine]

okay okay

[neon ravine]

How can I have a path variable in my tkinter program?

I mean I am initialising it as the path of the .py file, but the problem is that each mainloop makes it go back to that path

I can't change it

Is there a way to init a variable outside of the mainloop ?

[neon ravine]

nevermind, found the global way

[ivory ember]

i'm experienced

[lapis solstice]

thats what she said

[proper oar]

What's the question?

[zenith stream]

Is there a way to link shapes with tkinter ?

Actually I want to create a function which will display a random word or shape when called

Is it possible?

[lone portal]

Haven't used tkinter much, but you could definitely achieve that using tkinter.Canvas()

that acts as a canvas on which you can draw (and even put text, I think so)

[ivory ember]

we're working it out in a dm

[digital rose]

Yes, @zenith stream .
Use the Canvas() object. It is perfect. You can draw text natively, using the create_text() function, and create a polygon with n number of sides by using the create_polygon() function.

[shadow mist]

please stop.

[zenith stream]

I got what u said. Bro actually what I want is that it should display words and shapes randomly is it possible. Lemme try what u said

[digital rose]

Can I post that I’m hiring for UI ?

[sudden coral]

No - see the rules.

[lusty urchin]

hi can someone help me with a program for pyqt5 im really struggling right now

[plush stream]

@lusty urchin what are you struggling with?

[teal ether]

Hi, I have a question. I am using pyqt5 and I want to access a table from the UI class. I am not sure how to call it inside another class.

For example I have this UI.py and Function.py

UI.py:

    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
      ...
      self.biaTableView = QTableView(self.frame_1)
      ...

Function.py:

  from UI import Ui_MainWindow
  Class Functions(MainWindow):
      def UpdateTable(self):
            #Update biaTableView from UI_MainWindow here 

I know that updating inside the Ui_MainWindow class is as simple as "self.biaTableView(Stuff Here)"
But I want to know how to update it inside another class function. I know I already did this before but I forgot the proper syntax.

[orchid niche]

Hey everyone I wanted some help regarding the KivyMD library of python, which is used to make cross-platform applications, specifically regarding the input field (MDTextField) when I compile the app for android using buildozer. Android is detecting the input field as password field and therefore the keyboard is not showing suggestions. This is a known issue, does anyone know any workaround ? thanks in advance

[lusty urchin]

honestly a whole bunch basically im trying to make a database/sale forecast gui and i have a main page with three buttons that leads to new windows but the windows that it displays is the one that hasn't bee nmodified by the app file

[digital rose]

why do you need to create separate windows ? instead just clear a window, and draw the contents of the next window on it.

[lusty urchin]

im not sure how to do that

ive just been working with pyqt designer

so i made a bunch of separate windows and linked them

[digital rose]

i can help you do it in tkinter

[lusty urchin]

i havent touched tkinter at all

[digital rose]

@zenith stream
here is a simple random word drawing program:

from tkinter import *
from random import randint, choice
from tkinter.font import Font
from time import sleep as s

colors=["white","black","red","green","blue","cyan","yellow","magenta"]
text=["angle","remunerate","sun","develop","shell","outer","hypothesize","welcome","domestic"]

def draw_random_text():
    can.create_text(randint(50, 500), randint(50, 500),text=choice(text),fill=choice(colors),font=ft)
    root.after(500,draw_random_text)

root=Tk()

ft=Font(family="DejaVu sans mono",size=14,weight="normal")

can=Canvas(root,height=800,width=800,bg="white")
can.pack(side=TOP)

root.after(1500,draw_random_text)    
root.mainloop()

[zenith stream]

Bro what this will do ?

Can u tell little bit

[digital rose]

this will draw random text onto the screen

try and run it

[zenith stream]

Ok sure thanks bro

[digital rose]

try running it and then tell me if it works.

[zenith stream]

Ok sure

Bro I have a doubt

[digital rose]

yes?

[zenith stream]

Bro can we add image

[digital rose]

yes

[zenith stream]

As a random variable

See What the game should do is

[digital rose]

yes we can

[zenith stream]

It should display random text and images

[teal ether]

Try stackedWidgets @lusty urchin
To set the current window based on button click you need to do something like this:

if btnWidget.objectName() == "btn_download_files":
  self.ui.stackedWidget.setCurrentWidget(self.ui.download_page_widgets)

[lusty urchin]

thank you! 🙂

[teal ether]

You can make lots of widget pages and just use one window like this. I switch widget pages by clicking buttons on the left side.

[digital rose]

@zenith stream this example draws random zombified piglin and iron golem images with text.

from tkinter import *
from random import randint, choice
from tkinter.font import Font
from time import sleep as s

colors=["white","black","red","green","blue","cyan","yellow","magenta"]
text=["angle","remunerate","sun","develop","shell","outer","hypothesize","welcome","domestic"]

def draw_random_text():
    can.create_text(randint(50, 500), randint(50, 500),text=choice(text),fill=choice(colors),font=ft)
    root.after(500,draw_random_text)
    can.create_image(randint(50, 500), randint(50, 500),image=zpiglin)
    can.create_image(randint(50, 500), randint(50, 500),image=golem  )

root=Tk()

zpiglin=PhotoImage(file="zpiglin.gif")
golem=PhotoImage(file="golem.gif")

ft=Font(family="DejaVu sans mono",size=14,weight="normal")

can=Canvas(root,height=800,width=800,bg="white")
can.pack(side=TOP)

root.after(1500,draw_random_text)    
root.mainloop()

*at random coordinates.

[zenith stream]

I will check it bro

Thanks

[digital rose]

just replace the picture name with the path of whatever picture(s) you wish to draw, and make sure its a .gif.

[zenith stream]

Yeh ok

Hey Visuer

What is best to practice python?

[ivory ember]

umm, not sure this is the right channel...

[zenith stream]

Well ok

[ivory ember]

maybe ask in #python-discussion

if it has to do with UI, i could prob help u tho

[zenith stream]

Well I dont ask much doubts on #python-discussion

[zenith stream]

Well pls tell me for UI

[ivory ember]

umm, okay

i know a good book for PyQt5 called: Mastering GUI Programming with Python by Alan D. Moore, Packt

that's how I learned, it got eveyrthing

you can also watch youtube videos, look at the docs, etc.

try doing something simple, like making a window, and if you have trouble, ask here

[zenith stream]

Bro is GUI still used made by python

[ivory ember]

?

[lusty urchin]

hey does anyone know how to create an upload files thing in pyqt

[ivory ember]

what are you uploading to?

[zenith stream]

I mean is making GUI still trend using python

[ivory ember]

ah

yea, quite a few people make apps in it

[lusty urchin]

upload to the app so they can be viewed as a database

[ivory ember]

I mean, POST, SQL, etc.

[plush stream]

I'll take a look at that when I have time. 👍

[exotic mauve]

whats the difference between QWidget and QFrame? (QT)

[lone spruce]

Is there a drag-and-drop GUI editor for Python like there is for C# .NET?

[ivory ember]

for PyQt5, there is Qt Designer

[lone spruce]

Any support Tkinter?

It's always seemed like Python was years behind everyone else in terms of GUIs, and has made no progress in decades. Everyone else has batteries included GUI development, even back to Visual Basic

[ivory ember]

quick search yields https://visualtk.com/

there are probably better ones

do a search

[lone spruce]

Do most people just code the GUIs by hand? Is that what I should be doing?

[ivory ember]

i always do that

furthers your understanding of the layouts and everything

[lone spruce]

I've done it a few times for very simple stuff but never really learned to do it. Just copy/pasted enough code to get it working

[ivory ember]

yea, don't do that

practice makes perfect

[unique forge]

normally I use Drag and Drop designers, but if I cant, then I create a replica in adobe xd, and then code the app

[digital rose]

help

[unique forge]

I cant help if you dont ask

[digital rose]

but i have the module already installed

[unique forge]

you probably are using the wrong interpreter

[digital rose]

no its the right one i saw it on youtube

[unique forge]

no, interpreter

do you know what an interpreter is?

[digital rose]

yes

maybe

[unique forge]

what is it

[digital rose]

thats my python version

[unique forge]

yes it is

[digital rose]

ok

and now?

[lone spruce]

What drag and drop designers do you use for Python?

[unique forge]

Qt Designer

[teal ether]

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        QMainWindow.__init__(self)
        self.ui = Ui_MainWindow()
        self.ui.setupUi(self)
        self.setWindowTitle('Test')
        # clicking button will call Functions.test
        self.ui.someButton.clicked.connect(Functions.test) #Funct

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
        # create frame here
        # create stacked widget
        # created widget inside stacked widget
        # add table view in created widge
        self.someButton = QPushButton(self.frame)
        self.TableView = QTableView(self.frame) # access this

class Functions(MainWindow):
    def test(self):
        pass # how to access/update Ui_MainWIndow.TableView here?

Ui_MainWindow holds the ui buttons and widgets.
MainWindow handles all buttonclicks
Functions holds all functions that would be performed by the button clicks.

How do I call the self.TableView inside the test function in the Class Functions?

[lone spruce]

I wish Qt were built-in. It's such a big library to expect people to install just to use a simple GUI

[turbid crow]

Does anyone know what happens to tkinter widgets after the frame they were in was destroyed?

Are they hidden or destroyed also?

[unique forge]

Qt is more of a C++ thing

[lusty urchin]

hi does anyone know how to make an upload button that reads csv files and saves it to the application itself on pyqt5

[fresh echo]

is anyone experience with tkinter

stringvar() and .get()

can someone recomend os agnostic UI liblary(it must suport transparency)?

[ivory ember]

pyqt5

/\ this is useful for advanced transparency

[zenith drift]

thank you!

i ill try this

[zenith drift]

but i cannot use this it is windows only

and i ment full transparency

[ivory ember]

https://www.learnpyqt.com/tutorials/packaging-pyqt5-apps-fbs/

you might want to learn how to research better

[zenith drift]

ah ok

[ivory ember]

no offense, but please search before you ask

[zenith drift]

i read title with this

[ivory ember]

uh, what

[zenith drift]

so i thought that it is os specific

[ivory ember]

oh yea, that

that is

but pyqt5 is not

and the windows can be transparent

[zenith drift]

yes but i referenced this

[ivory ember]

thats just for acrylic blurring

[zenith drift]

not pyQt5

[ivory ember]

ah, its fine

[zenith drift]

ok

well i ill try it

[ivory ember]

lmk if u need help, pyqt5 is pretty hard

[zenith drift]

oh thats bad

i acctualy need it to short script

from what i see their doc is't bad

and code is not that long

[proud walrus]

does PyQt5 support transparency effects?

like transparent frames, buttons, and windows

[ivory ember]

self.setAttribute(qtc.Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground, True)

[zenith drift]

or for window

self.setWindowOpacity(0.2)

[proud walrus]

does it make things on the window transparent too?

[zenith drift]

i dont think so

[wooden imp]

(PyQt)
How can I set my window to maximised on startup(not fullscreen)?
Preferably I would like to do this in the Qt Designer

[proud walrus]

great, thats what i needed

wait what about blur effects?

[zenith drift]

i started doing it 1h ago 😆 sorry idk

[proud walrus]

ah alright.

lmao im just starting too

it is in(worng screen shot) in qtcreator package

[rugged marsh]

how can i do this? FYI it's tkinter

[modern marsh]

.place() it

[rugged marsh]

how?

can u tell me some codes?

@modern marsh

# USD Amount (Text)
text = Text(height=1)
text.insert(INSERT, "USD - US Dollar (Amount)")
text.pack()
text.tag_configure("left", justify='left')
text.config(font=("Arial Rounded MT Bold", 30))
#....
# Input box
entry1 = Entry(root, width=20, justify='right')
'entry1.place()'
entry1.pack()

this is my code for the moment

pls ping me to reply. thanks @modern marsh !

[tight bridge]

@rugged marsh https://paste.pythondiscord.com/arovetidek.rb

Was a fun learning experience for myself as well 🙂

[zenith stream]

bro it really works

just is that I need to adjust the size

[modern marsh]

hi

so place is kinda like the PyQt move()

widget.place(x_coordinate, y_coordinate)

if your window is not resizable, this is a nice thing to use, a bit time consuming tho

if it is indeed resizable, you might see unwanted results on scaling, and ig grid() will be better for that purpose

you can also use pack(side=tk.LEFT) or something like that i guess, idk exactly

[digital rose]

the .place(x: int, y: int) system or .grid(row: int, colmun: int) system

[lofty pond]

made a interesting gui, any guess of what library I am using?

[pseudo folio]

Does anyone know of a special library to render pretty basic lines and shapes? Or should I just use qt for this?

[eager beacon]

turtle

[pseudo folio]

So I want to render a bunch of lines and simple shapes on a grid that can be moved around.

[eager beacon]

I'm not sure if turtle is interactive like that. Using a QGraphicsScene and QGraphicsview would be pretty easy to achieve this.

[pseudo folio]

Ok

[eager beacon]

You can add different QGraphicsItems to the scene with the flag QGraphicsItem.ItemIsMovable and that will allow you to drag them around with the mouse.

[pseudo folio]

Does qgraphics item have any built in method to tell if it is connected to another item?

[eager beacon]

I don't know what you mean by connected

[pseudo folio]

Like if I have two line items and I mKe their ends to they are touching.

[eager beacon]

There are ways to tell if two or more items have intersected or collided with each other but you'd probably need to write your own simple logic if you only wanted to detect the end points

[digital rose]

I'm trying to use wxPython on macOS. I'm using Miniconda as my Python environment. When run pythonw helloworld.py I get an error about : /Users/gavinw/miniconda3/bin/pythonw: line 3: /Users/gavinw/miniconda3/python.app/Contents/MacOS/python: No such file or directory

[rugged marsh]

This is my code, and the picture below is what it happens:

# Import tkinter
from tkinter import *
# Find USD HKD Exchange Rate
import array
import requests

params = {
    'access_key': '**********'
}

response = requests.get('http://data.fixer.io/api/latest', params=params)

data = response.json()
print(data)
usd = data['rates']['USD']
hkd = data['rates']['HKD']


usdhkdrate = round((hkd/usd),10)

# Set the window for tkinter GUI
root = Tk()
root.geometry('1800x1000')

# USD Amount (Text)
text1 = Label(root , text = "USD - US Dollar (Amount)" )
text1.grid(row = 0 , column = 0)
text1.config(font=("Arial Rounded MT Bold", 30))


# defining "button_command" (see Button)
def button_command():
    entry2.delete(0, END)
    text01 = ("USD "  )
    text02 = ("HKD", round(float((float(entry1.get())) * usdhkdrate),4))
    entry1.insert(0, text)
    entry1.pack(side='left')
    entry2.insert(0, text2)
    return None

# Input box
entry1 = Entry(root, width=20)
entry1.grid(row = 0 , column = 1)


# Button
Button(root, text="Convert", command=button_command).pack()

# HKD Amount (Text)
text2 = Text(height=1)
text2.insert(INSERT, "        HKD - Hong Kong Dollar (Amount)")
text2.pack()

# Output box
entry2 = Entry(root, width=20)
entry2.pack()   

# Exchange Rate
text3 = Text(height=1)
text3.insert(INSERT, f"        Exchange Rate: {usdhkdrate} ")
text3.pack() 

# Mainloop it!
root.mainloop()

Please reply if you are fluent in Tkinter! Thank you

[glossy temple]

So for every gui application ive made so far ive made the setting etc available by opening a new window this is messy and im wondering if theres a simple way to clear the screen and display a different part of my app. If this isnt available in tkinter please let me know if theres another framework where i can do this thanks

[plush stream]

You can't use both .pack() and .grid() in the same code.

[rugged marsh]

oh!

ok. Thank you for your help!

[plush stream]

You're welcome, and yes unfortunately you have to choose between pack and grid

[molten latch]

I've also encountered your multiple window problem before for displaying different parts

My solution wasn't an elequant one

But it worked

Ping me if your still interested

[modern marsh]

@molten latch did you use frames?

Like hiding the main frame and displaying the next

[molten latch]

no that would have been a smart idea and god knows i dont have any of those @modern marsh

hang on, let me find my code

[modern marsh]

Alright

Cuz I wanna know how to do it too

[molten latch]

i made a menu of buttons on the side that was permanent, then everytime a user click on one of these side buttons it ran this:

def ResetWindow():
    UsefulWidgetList = [
        MainMenuL,
        NewAccountB,
        ViewAccountB,
        EditAccountB,
        SettingB,
        ExitB]
    for Widget in Main.winfo_children():
        if Widget not in UsefulWidgetList:
            Widget.destroy()

which deletes every widget on the screen but the ones in the side menu (because they stay)

[modern marsh]

Ah tkinter

[molten latch]

then when the page changed i ran code to set the entire window up again

[molten latch]

isnt that what your using?

[modern marsh]

Nah, PyQt5

[molten latch]

ahhh, the theory should be the same tho

but use panels instead

and just hide and show them on demand

much easier

then running setup code every time the page changes

[modern marsh]

Yeah that's what I am thinking

[molten latch]

this ran everytime the user pressed "view accounts" lmao, theres more underneath as well since this is just the layout setup

dont do what i did 😂

[modern marsh]

Grids do look nice

I underestimated grid()

[molten latch]

yeah i hate the pack

[modern marsh]

Yeah no one likes it

[molten latch]

you were using pack tho?

i dont know of anything other then grid or pack

[modern marsh]

Eh PyQt5 had proper layout managers which are similar to tkinter

[molten latch]

ahh right

[modern marsh]

Has

[molten latch]

since that password manager was an actual project i wanted to work on, i changed to C# since you can make much nicer things in it more easily

this is it now

and its still in dev

[modern marsh]

Ah looks good

Password manager is a fun project

[molten latch]

nah its trash but its fun to work on lmao

exactly yeah

tbh it was a learning experience more then anything else since its how i learnt C++ and C#

there were 5 iterations

[modern marsh]

I made a login signup thing , can implement it in a password manager ig

Ah nice

[molten latch]

the encryption is the tricky bit

[modern marsh]

You can use Qt is C++ ya kno

use passlib for encryption

[molten latch]

i wish i had thought of that before implementing my own setup lmao

[modern marsh]

Lol

[molten latch]

i know you dont care but this is the progression of UI

its all very basic ui until iter 5

[modern marsh]

If you want to stick to python or c++ consider using Qt

[molten latch]

yeah ive heard of it, seems interesting. especially for C++ since its one of main ui frameworks for it right?

[modern marsh]

Yeah

Along with GTK ig

Which is available for python too

[ivory ember]

.topic

[buoyant comet]

**Have you ever made your own GUI? If so, how?**

Suggest more topics here!

[modern marsh]

Eh?

[unique forge]

yes I have

with PyQt5

also, with kivy

[ivory ember]

only with PyQt5 myself, played around with tkinter back in the day

[ivory ember]

how does one get started with kivy

[unique forge]

wdym

[ivory ember]

recommend any resources

[unique forge]

I watched YT tutorials

from buildwithpython

[ivory ember]

ah

[unique forge]

and erik sandberg

[ivory ember]

kivy is just mobile?

[unique forge]

nope

kivy is cross-platform

but I started it because I wanted to make mobile apps

https://discord.gg/7MYQjpFhHc

thats weird

im allowed to send the Kivy invite

but not the KivyMD invite

[ivory ember]

ill join, kivy seems cool

[unique forge]

yeah it is

[ivory ember]

would you consider it harder than pyqt5

[unique forge]

they have their own language

[unique forge]

I found it quite easy, probably because I had used PyQt before

[unique forge]

kvlang

[ivory ember]

im pretty solid with pyqt5, so hopefully it clicks

[unique forge]

so, I had experience making GUIs

kvlang makes it easier, I wouldnt recommend programming a whole app with python Kivy

also, if you're looking into mobile apps, KivyMD is a set of widgets that follow Google Material Design

[ivory ember]

hmm

[unique forge]

which looks pretty much the same as Flutter

[ivory ember]

i'll take a look, thx my guy

[modern marsh]

hey @ivory ember and @unique forge , sorry for the pings but i would like to know something

so if there are a ton of widgets to be made in a PyQt app

and i want each to be in a separate class

as in the widgets in the titlebar frame would be in the TitleBar class

so how would i go about accessing these widgets to add those to the existing layouts?

because as far as i have tried now, i make classes with staticmethods for each widget which i then call in the main class and set a layout for

is there any better way to do this

[pseudo folio]

Is there some built-in way in pyqt to make item groups? I want to make a group of several rectangles that can be interacted with as a single item.

[ivory ember]

QGroupbox

[ivory ember]

i don't know class manipulation as well at pyqt5. May I ask why you need to have them in multiple classes?

[modern marsh]

cuz there are a ton of widgets to make

which is difficult to maintain in a single class

[ivory ember]

how many we talkin?

[modern marsh]

idk , the number just increases

also

[ivory ember]

describe the UI?

[modern marsh]

inheriting QWidget in a class enables the custom mouseMoveEvent for that widget

[ivory ember]

im sorrry, im not following

[modern marsh]

a spotify like music player is the ui

[ivory ember]

k

[modern marsh]

which has a set title bar and bottom bar with the play button etc

[ivory ember]

just subclass QWidget and add your widgets in there

[modern marsh]

mhm

[ivory ember]

then instantiate that class as many times as needed

[modern marsh]

and?

ok so

thats fine

[ivory ember]

basically making a custom widget

[modern marsh]

but when adding that to a layout

[ivory ember]

you instantiate in the qmainwindow class, and all your layouts should be there sooo

[modern marsh]

it creates problems as the self in that class is the QWidget and not the parent frame

[ivory ember]

custom pyqt5signals and slots

[modern marsh]

yeye thats what

o

whats that

i mean ik signals and slots

[ivory ember]

i act hav demo code

here

[modern marsh]

nice

[proven basin]

Hey @ivory ember!

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

[ivory ember]

the new discord update tho

server gota change that

here

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

very simple text editor app i have just for that topic, custom signals and slots

@modern marsh does that make sense?

[modern marsh]

huh i will check it out

thanks man

[ivory ember]

np

[molten latch]

i know its really basic but how can i improve this?

it just doesnt look good

[unique forge]

you could add colours

[molten latch]

for the buttons and text?

[unique forge]

yeah

[molten latch]

How would u recommend adding them?

White seems the only option

[unique forge]

gradients

[somber furnace]

is anyone here work with tkniter

tbh it doesnt invloe tkinter as much but its just that i cnat import it on my windows machine

when i work on my mac it works perefectly fine

but when i swticthed to windows

i cnat import it anymore

@ me if someone can help

[graceful field]

@somber furnace I had that same problem, I had to find the location of it, and I moved it to the file location that I was coding in

It worked, after that

hi im looking for someone to create a VERY simple UI for a recent data science project that I just finished. DM me if interested. (I would prefer if its done in python in tkinter, but if not thats totally ok!)

also not sure if this is the right place for this so sorry if it isnt :)

[solid saddle]

I'd recommend finding a slightly more interesting font, and adding some more spacing between the buttons. Hope this helps!

any kivymd users here?

class MainApp(MDApp):
    def build(self):
        self.theme_cls.theme_style = "Dark"
        img = Builder.load_string(image)
        return img
        self.theme_cls.primary_palette = "DeepPurple"
        self.theme_cls.primary_hue = "200"
        switch = Builder.load_string(switchs)
        return switch```

so this is my code

kivymd

and for some reason

it isnt showing my switch

[tribal path]

return ends a function/method

[indigo yarrow]

oh

i see

so i should take away return img

and return switch

and then add just return

?

class MainApp(MDApp):
    def build(self):
        self.theme_cls.theme_style = "Dark"
        img = Builder.load_string(image)
        self.theme_cls.primary_palette = "DeepPurple"
        self.theme_cls.primary_hue = "200"
        switch = Builder.load_string(switchs)
        return   ```

like that?

[tribal path]

well return switch seems fine. may need to restructure if you want that image somewhere

[indigo yarrow]

how should I restructure

sry im very new to kivymd

i started today

[tribal path]

Where/what is the img for? for now just return switch and see what that does

[indigo yarrow]

when I do return switch

it only shows the switch

not the img

the img is an image for the main screen

and for now the switch does nothing

@tribal path what do you think?

what should I do so both img and switch show?

[tribal path]

you'd need to combine the widgets in someway - either on the same layout. or draw the image on the canvas

[indigo yarrow]

oh

Why can't I type emojis in Idle Code, Python 3.9.1?

I'm using a MacBook, and my goal is to insert emojis in an option box in Tkinter. I tried using Unicode in, but when it runs it becomes the following :

Code:

OPTIONS = [
"\U0001F1FA USD",
]
Expectation: [:flag_us:USD]

When it runs: [🇺USD🇺]

Also tried copy-and-pasting the emoji Code:

 OPTIONS = [
":flag_us: USD",":flag_us:
]
Expectation: [:flag_us:USD]

When it runs: [🇺🇸USD🇺🇸 ^v]

When it runs: (Options)[🇺🇸USD]

[digital rose]

Theres an underlying bug in tkinter, because it inherits from Tcl/Tk, so you cannot insert non-BMP emojis in tkinter. You cannot do that in most GUI libs in python, afaik.

Neither can you insert such characters in the python shell itself.

[rugged marsh]

Oh no!

[paper bobcat]

hello, is someone good at tkinter?

[digital rose]

Yes

[digital rose]

This is what my program shows on intial run

but if i just resize it a bit

it becomes like this

why is that...?

[modern marsh]

it is mostly because of the type of geometry managers you have used and how you have used them

tkinter or PyQt?

[digital rose]

kivy

[digital rose]

sorry for not mentioning

[modern marsh]

ohh, idk Kivy, sorry

[digital rose]

k

[ivory dawn]

@digital rose you need to use size_hint or an event when the window is resized.

[keen path]

anyone can help me with kivy ?

im having some trouble since im new to the library

[normal sedge]

Does anyone know how to develop an AI capatcha solver?

[keen path]

i think that goes with ai, not with interfaces

[normal sedge]

Is there a channel for that? I supposed interface as it is a CMD UI

Interfaced program

[dense oasis]

his point being, the hard part of your program is the ai/logic, not the UI that someone would operate to use your program(what this channel is for)

[keen path]

#data-science-and-ml first, and then implement a ui to your program

i get this output

that's good an all, but might it be possible to add like a drag feature to the widgets?

[eager beacon]

QListWidgets have that functionality built in

[ivory ember]

can i set each QListItem to a widget?

[eager beacon]

you can use QListWidgetItem to do that

Im kinda just wondering peoples suggestions

Im use to unity game engine, doubt there will be one that lets me build the ui but i like being able to parent ui so if I hide a parent panel the children buttons all also hide

and such

[queen mist]

can someone help me

im using tkinter

is this the right channel?

[toxic pilot]

@queen mist i think it is, look at channel description

[queen mist]

im trying to make it a checker pattern

for j in range(1,9):
    for i in range(8):
        x1 = i*100+5
        y1 = 5
        x2 = 100*8
        y2 = 100*j+5

        # coloring correct blocks
        if (i+j)%2 == 0:
            canvas.create_rectangle(x1,y1,x2,y2,fill = "gray")
        else:
            canvas.create_rectangle(x1,y1,x2,y2,fill = "white")```

anyone?

[tribal path]

You'd want odd i with even j and even i with odd j to be the same. could nest some if statements

[queen mist]

oh yeah that makes sense, let me try

how would i go about doing that?, i can't make it make sense

[tribal path]

actually your if should be sufficient. it must be the coordinates. should x2 not be just 100? or x1 + 100 and similar for y

[queen mist]

double line

without the times 8

only way it prints normal

is like this

[tribal path]

print your x/y values and see. or have it draw with a random fill so you'll see what its drawing. Not sure I'd bother with the else

precisely, you are drawing mainly rectangles. tried with:

        x1 = i*100+5
        y1 = 100*j+5
        x2 = x1 + 100
        y2 = y1 + 100

& using range(8) for j too

But when I put microsoft word i doesnt want to open it

ive tried cmd.exe and it works

@keen path

[keen path]

u opened cmd ?

[cunning holly]

yes just to test it out

i think you need another module

[cunning holly]

ok

which module would it be

[keen path]

which is called subprocess

[cunning holly]

no

u have to install it ig

Is there a way to access a variable that has been returned in another file in current file?
For example:
File 1

def A(num):
  result = num + 1
  return result

File 2

import file1
# How can I use the variable result here

I am trying to display the variable result using PyQt5

[bright ravine]

ok i am not sure which is the best lib to use buts its for a school project
any way we can move an element like an image or something ?
if not move delete the image ?

[ivory ember]

Might want to read up on classes. Make a class for file1 and make an instance of it in file2. "Result" should be accessible then.

[digital rose]

oh nice

[digital rose]

no problem it's easy

you are returned a function to int

that mean you can get that function as var

[scenic lily]

hey how can i configure the height and width of a tkinter window?

[digital rose]

.geometry("120x120")

[scenic lily]

thanks ^^

[digital rose]

your welcome

to get it in another file you can do a class named get and then put that function into it and then import it in you another file like file2.get.A and see (if you want the function only make a class and named A then put that function in it but name that function __init__ and the another file get it file2.A)

@winged thunder

[winged thunder]

alright I'll try that

thanks @digital rose @ivory ember

[digital rose]

your welcome

np

[digital rose]

value1 = []
def addValue (value) : 
  global value1
  value1.append(value)

button=tk.Button(window,text="1",activebackground='green',command=degerEkle(1)).place(x=45,y=65,height=30,width=30)```

I want to add 1 to list when I press the button but its already add it without pressing

How can we fix it ?

[scenic lily]

what is the error?

[digital rose]

Thats not error

like a bug

I want to add value to my list when user press the button

but

[scenic lily]

value1 = []
def addValue (value) : 
  global value1
  value1.append(value)

button=tk.Button(window,text="1",activebackground='green',command=addvalue(1)).place(x=45,y=65,height=30,width=30)```

[digital rose]

İt add the value when program starting

[scenic lily]

try this

[digital rose]

degerEkle = addValue

just Turkish

[scenic lily]

ah

[digital rose]

I forget to translate it

sorry

[scenic lily]

have u made a tkinter window

[digital rose]

yeah I did everything

My problem is only this code

[scenic lily]

could you please send the whole code?

[digital rose]

Alright

[scenic lily]

thats the whole code?

[digital rose]

no

wait please

hesap makinesi means calculator

I though there is a algorithm problem I have

[scenic lily]

than i dont know sry

[digital rose]

Thank you for took time

👍

[digital rose]

use lambda

button=tk.Button(window,text="1",activebackground='green'
                ,command= lambda : degerEkle(1))
button.place(x=45,y=65,height=30,width=30)

[digital rose]

thank u so much

it worked

[winged thunder]

@digital rose I am still having the same problem, can I DM you?

[digital rose]

sorry I have a lot things to do can u dm me after 3 hours or 2

[winged thunder]

k np

[digital rose]

now I have some minutes

[digital rose]

try this
File 1

class A:
  def __init__(num):
      result = num + 1
      return result

File 2

import file1
print(file1.A)

[winged thunder]

that works cause thats plain python

I want result to be shown in a QLineEdit

[digital rose]

do u use PyQt5 I don't know PyQt5. sorry but what is QLineEdit parameters

[winged thunder]

yes i use PyQt5

wdym by parameters?

[digital rose]

text parameter maybe

who publish invit

[digital rose]

like this

QLineEdit(text="SomeThing")

this is parameters

[winged thunder]

i don't quite get you. do you mean how do you set text in a line edit?

[digital rose]

you want to change the text right? or ?

[winged thunder]

yes

pyqt5 doesn't work that way

there are methods to settext

here's an example

hold up for a min

[digital rose]

ok

try this
File 1

class A:
  def __init__(num):
      result = num + 1
      return result

File 2

import file1
print(file1.A(1)) # output: 2

this is the output:

I am only running app.py

[digital rose]

so you want from functions.py to get the result to app.py

[winged thunder]

I have just updated ui.py

just the dimensions have changed

[winged thunder]

yes

updated ui.py: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/pubitedoya.rb

if you see in line 49

[winged thunder]

I want the text to be set to the result that I am getting from the function.py

[digital rose]

you want to set text to result?

[winged thunder]

yes

[digital rose]

oh nice

[winged thunder]

correct

[digital rose]

you can do this:

self.out_box.setText(functions.B(2))

hello ?

[winged thunder]

yeah yeah

I won't leave you alone cause you are one of the few people who can fix this issue

[digital rose]

oh nice

it's worked?

[winged thunder]

I am trying to debug this error:

  File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\Helping Others\app\main.py", line 4, in <module>
    main()
  File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\Helping Others\app\a\ui.py", line 52, in main
    window = MainWindow()
  File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\Helping Others\app\a\ui.py", line 28, in __init__
    self.ui()
  File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\Helping Others\app\a\ui.py", line 47, in ui
    self.out_box.setText(B.multiply_by_2(2))
  File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\Helping Others\app\b\functions.py", line 10, in multiply_by_2
    result = int(self.num) * 2
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'num'```

you cannot put a function in the self.out_box.setText()

[winged thunder]

so this is not viable

it needs to be a string

[digital rose]

string(functions.B(2))

?

hmm

second I will fix everything

and then tell you

[winged thunder]

okay

[digital rose]

it's fixed

print(function.B.multiply_by_2(2))

output:

4

the function

is

[winged thunder]

okay

[digital rose]

    def multiply_by_2(num):
        result = int(num) * 2
        return str(result)

[winged thunder]

printing it isn't the problem,

[digital rose]

do this

class B:
    def divide_by_2(num):
        result = num / 2
        return str(result)

    def multiply_by_2(num):
        result = num * 2
        return str(result)

[digital rose]

?

[winged thunder]

already did this

[digital rose]

so what is your real problem?

so can i fix it

[winged thunder]

I want to input a number in the enter message field and when I press convert the answer should be displayed in the other box

[digital rose]

ohh

it's easy

but before i will give you solution

why u are made function.py

[winged thunder]

My ide says unexpected argument

[digital rose]

me too

[digital rose]

u can just add that function in the app.py

[winged thunder]

why did i make function.py so that I can keep all the functions in one dir and all the ui code in another dir and run both of them from one file

this helps in creating a .exe

[digital rose]

ah

sec and i will give you solution

[winged thunder]

then everything works mighty fine, its just the fact that I don't want to do it that way

[digital rose]

try this:
in function.py

class B:
    def divide_by_2(num):
        result = int(num) / 2
        return str(result)

    def multiply_by_2(num):
        result = int(num) * 2
        return str(result)

in app.py in __init__ function add this

        self.multi = function.B.multiply_by_2(int(self.inp_box.test()))
        self.devid = function.B.divide_by_2(int(self.inp_box.test()))

in app.py in ui function set the text to this:

self.out_box.setText(str(self.multi) + " " + str(self.devid))

[winged thunder]

alright let me try

[winged thunder]

error:

AttributeError: 'MainWindow' object has no attribute 'multi'```

[digital rose]

the class is your main window

that is problem

put they at the last line without any function

then

delete self

like this

multi = function.B.multiply_by_2(int(MainWindow.inp_box.test()))
devid = function.B.divide_by_2(int(MainWindow.inp_box.test()))

and to set text

like this

self.out_box.setText(str(multi) + " " + str(devid))

@winged thunder try that

I'm waiting to finish pyqt5 downloading

[winged thunder]

cannot do this cause the class doesn't have a def named inp_box

[digital rose]

not def

you are make self.

that mean

you can access it as var

[winged thunder]

okay

[digital rose]

give you error ?

[winged thunder]

here's what I changed:

multi = B.multiply_by_2(int(MainWindow.__init__().inp_box.text()))
divide = B.divide_by_2(int(MainWindow.__init__().inp_box.text()))```

now self parameter in __init__() is not defined

[digital rose]

the __init__ is the whole class

[winged thunder]

well yes but there was no other option to get inp_box.text()

[digital rose]

hmm

do this

[winged thunder]

are you using PyCharm?

[digital rose]

global inp_box

[digital rose]

VS Code

[winged thunder]

okay

[digital rose]

delete that self. from inp_box

add this upper __init__ function :

global inp_box

[winged thunder]

that doesn't help

[digital rose]

error

?

[winged thunder]

nah cause then I cannot change the geometry and stuff of the box

[digital rose]

hmm

this is confusing

[winged thunder]

ikr

[digital rose]

i can't find solution

hmmm

can you make another class include that muti and devid

[winged thunder]

that will just complicate things

[digital rose]
