[sharp stone]

I tried but there is many attributes in real and I need to handle that automatically

[unique forge]

you could use parent and children

[tribal path]

class Design(App):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(Design, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.main_hero = MainHero() # Tried main_hero = MainHero() too
        self.val = StringProperty(self.main_hero.nick)
``` isn't how you use props
```py
class Design(App):
    val = StringProperty()
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(Design, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.main_hero = MainHero() # Tried main_hero = MainHero() too
        self.val = self.main_hero.nick

[unique forge]

if you want to

use electron.js with html and css

or you can use html, css, and python eel

or you can use Qt, Kivy, and other frameworks

[spark prism]

ok

[tawdry mulch]

If you want to go classic, you can use python and tkinter too

[sharp stone]

this isn't working I tried

[tribal path]

    def rename(self):
        # self.app.main_hero.nick = "Renamed"
        self.app.val = "Renamed"

Or move the Prop

How does one apply a QLinearGradient to a QTabWidget tab. I tried ```py
self.main_background_gradient = qtg.QLinearGradient(0, 0, self.width(), self.height())
self.main_background_gradient.setColorAt(0, qtg.QColor("#30cfd0"))
self.main_background_gradient.setColorAt(1, qtg.QColor("#330867"))
self.main_background_gradient_brush = qtg.QBrush(self.main_background_gradient)
self.main_background_palette = qtw.QApplication.instance().palette()
self.main_background_palette.setBrush(qtg.QPalette.Base, self.main_background_gradient_brush)
self.notebooks_tab.setPalette(self.main_background_palette)

the self.notebooks_tab is the widget assigned to one of the tabs on the main QTabWidget

[hybrid spindle]

Anyone know how to identify what subplot you are accessing during event handling in matplotlib/pyqt?

So if you have a click event and a 6x2 subplot figure. How could one determine which subplot is being clicked on?

[tawdry mulch]

What kind of objects are these plots, find that out. Use type() . If it is actually of some tkinter widget, then w.winfo_containing(rootX,rootY,displayof=0) might be of SOME help

[hybrid spindle]

well I found a roundabout way. If I loop through my axes_list, I can figure out which index its in, by checking each axes_list[i] == event.inaxes.
For some reason np.where(event.inaxes==axes_list) always yields no return

Thought that was kinda odd.

Im just working with the standard pyplots though

[digital rose]

whyyy

Yo how do I change the dimensions of my treeview

[eager beacon]

Do you want the entire treeview's size to change or the items within?

[digital rose]

Nope I actually fixed it :)

[eager beacon]

ah good

[digital rose]

I just transformed it at its ".pack" and ".place"

statements thing

[eager beacon]

yep, it sounds like that would do the trick

[digital rose]

@queen mist how do you want to restart the app? If you just want to remove everything you can use .destroy() on the canvas and then re draw the canvas with the same arguments you passed in the first time.

This is where classes come in handy for me, i just delete the current instance of the class and create a new one, that acts like a restart function.

[tawdry mulch]

Or you could just use canvas.delete('all') depending on what you want.

database.tag_configure("light", background = "white")

    if Noloops%2 == 0:
        database.insert(parent='', index = 'end', iid = Noloops, text = "", values = ("lol", "2", "xd"),  tags = ("dark",)) 
    Noloops += 1
```yo why does this function not work anymore?

[tame breach]

Sorry DaRoque, I'm a tk newb and can't help you. I'm guessing you trying to alternate the highlighting of columns. At the very least it looks like your loop is set up correctly, so beyond that IDK.

Proving my noobishness, my question is, with the following code:

text.tag_add("start", "1.8", "1.13")
text.tag_config("start", background="black", foreground="green")

is text.tag_add making "start" a variable that is holding the location of 1.8/1.13? and in the next line, is config using that range to apply the formatting? I assume that is happening but the documentation is kinda vague so I wanted to be sure. Thanks.

[queen mist]

ive never used classes!! before, they life functions??

[digital rose]

look at this example, to demonstrate how i like to use classes, it even works for the restart thing you want:

from tkinter import *
from time import sleep

class Window(Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        Tk.__init__(self)
        self.draw_widgets()

    def draw_widgets(self):
        self.restart_but = Button(self, text = 'restart', command=self.restart_app)
        self.restart_but.pack(side='top')

    def restart_app(self):
        self.destroy() # destroys the main window.
        sleep(1)
        new = Window() ; new.mainloop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    root = Window() ; root.mainloop()

it restarts the window after a time delay of 1 second. @queen mist

classes are the best, majorly because they are properly structured, and it's the best practice to use classes.

[queen mist]

ima start using them, they look neat ^

[jagged frigate]

is curses in python system independent?

[tawdry mulch]

What is wrong

[digital rose]

Well there is an existing function that makes a treeview have striped details so that it would be much easier to read at, but that function does not work anymore for some reason ;-;

Are there any other working functions that does the same thing that works?

[digital rose]

Its okay lol at least u replied

[tawdry mulch]

Obviously there is no thing default. I don't see what is wrong. What is wrong, does it not show? Does it give an error? Does it freeze? @digital rose

[tawdry mulch]

Not a variable, a tag. But yes it works almost the same way

[hybrid spindle]

class TopLevelWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self,Abs):
        super().__init__()
        self.canvas = MplWidget(Abs)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.canvas)

class MplWidget(FigureCanvasQTAgg):
    def __init__(self,Abs, parent=None):
        f = Figure()
        super(MplWidget, self).__init__(f)
        self.setParent(parent)
        
        #plot stuff here

        def onclick(self,event):
          if event.button == 1:
            #update plot with stuff        

So this is the base of my code. Curious how I would automatically update the figure once conditions are met. Currently itll only update if I move the window around

[digital rose]

this is what i get with

def cmd():
    os.system('cmd.exe')
cmd_button = Button(homee, text="💻CMD", font=("impact", 20), bg="gray33", borderwidth=1, fg="orange", command=cmd)
cmd_button.place(x=350, y=150)

pls ping me

[tawdry mulch]

What is wrong?

[digital rose]

The proggram is crashing anf the cmd is not opening

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm my assumption is it takes some time to execute that command and hence the freeze.

I also think, you are looking for os.system('start cmd.exe') @digital rose

@tawdry mulch Sorry for the late reply, but thank you for your help. Trying to wrap my brain around tk with some tutorials.

[versed vessel]

generate_new = tk.Button(root, text = 'Generate new bits', command =gen_bits_function)

def sort_bits(bits_sort):
    bits_sorted = bits.sorter(bits_sort)
    sorted_bits = tk.Label(root, text = str(bits_sorted)).pack()

def gen_bits_function():
    global gen_bits
    gen_bits = bits.generate()
    generated_bits.forget
    generated_bits = tk.Label(root, text = 'Generated bits: ' + str(gen_bits)).pack()

Why does it says that my function does not exist?

File "C:\Users\A\Desktop\list\main.py", line 17, in <module>
    generate_new = tk.Button(root, text = 'Generate new bits', command =gen_bits_function)
NameError: name 'gen_bits_function' is not defined
```

[tawdry mulch]

Because python runs code from top to bottom and when it reaches your button, AT THE POINT, function is not defined. It is only defined after the button definition. So either move the button down or the function up.

[tawdry mulch]

Which though 😛

[tawdry mulch]

I am pretty sure I saw a video combining electron js and python, just a min

Yep - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=627VBkAhKTc

[tame breach]

Which what? lol

[tawdry mulch]

Which help where you referring to. I mean nvm, its fine, as long as you found it helpful 😄

[tame breach]

lol, my bad. My questions about

text.tag_add("start", "1.8", "1.13")```
and if start was a variable or not.  I guess I could have said pseudo-variable for TK use.

[tawdry mulch]

Oh okay, well yes. Even canvas objects use these tags and is much better than creating a variable and storing it inside, rather using tags

[versed vessel]

But i got another botton on top of a function and it returns no errors

[tawdry mulch]

Did you try the solution I said? Post that code then, let me take a look

[versed vessel]

I tried it and it worked lol

[hybrid spindle]

anyone have any thoughts on why the button_press_event handling will connect/work but my key_press_event wont register?
Took out all the functionality, but onclick is definitely connected and working in the actual code

    def __init__(self,Abs, parent=None):
        f = Figure()
        self.fig = f
        self.wc = None #initialize overall parameter
        super(MplWidget, self).__init__(f)

        self.setParent(parent)

        #do some plot stuff

        # Set up connectivity
        self.cid1 = self.mpl_connect("button_press_event", self.onclick)
        self.cid2 = self.mpl_connect("key_press_event", self.onpress)
    def onpress(self,event):
        #do keyboard pressy stuff
    def onclick(self, event):
        #do clicky stuff



class TopLevelWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self,Abs):
        super().__init__()
        self.canvas = MplWidget(Abs)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.canvas)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = TopLevelWindow(Abs)
    w.resize(1300,850)
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

[hybrid spindle]

well if anyone else happens to be curious

self.setParent(parent)
self.fig.canvas.setFocusPolicy( QtCore.Qt.ClickFocus )
self.fig.canvas.setFocus()

two lines after setParent are needed to activate the keyboard events

[coarse mirage]

I'm working in PyQt5 and trying to have it so that when a button is click the animation playing on the label is changed. However, it doesn't work:

        Main_Window.screen.sprite = Animations.confident
        print ("Hello.")
        
    def screen(self):
        sprite = Animations.normal
        gif_background = QLabel(self)    
        gif_background.setGeometry(40, 60, 107, 100)
        gif_background.setStyleSheet("background-image : url(C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/Background.jpg);")
        gif_background.movie = QMovie(sprite)
        gif_background.setMovie(gif_background.movie)
        gif_background.movie.start()
    
        
    def textbox(self):
        text = QLabel ("Welcome to the Dice Game!", self)
        text.setGeometry(165, 30, 300, 100)
        text.setStyleSheet("color: white")
        text.setFont(QFont('Advanced Pixel-7', 16))
        
class Animations:
    normal = "C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/Trucy_Normal1.gif"
    confident = "C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/Trucy_Confident_Speak1.gif"```

[worthy ridge]

@coarse mirage use stylesheets property selector

And u need to declare the image in the resource pack of the app

[coarse mirage]

It's kind of a way to test of how to change the image of a label via a different function or even class. Since I plan to have the label show different "reactions" depending on a game the user plays.

[eager beacon]

you have sprite assigned to Animations.normal in screen() and it never gets reassigned.

[coarse mirage]

How do I get it to reassign? I'm trying to have def button_click(self): Main_Window.screen.sprite = Animations.confident do so.

[eager beacon]

are you trying to toggle the image every time the button is pushed?

[coarse mirage]

I'm trying to get it to change the image.

[eager beacon]

The problem with that is the GIF that you use in QMovie is always sprite. That assignment you have at the top of button_click doesn't affect the movie at all

[coarse mirage]

Basically I'm going to be making a dice game and depending if the user wins or lose that will change how the sprite reacts.

Assigning it via button press is more of a "test"

[coarse mirage]

Is there a way I can code it so that it can effect the sprite?

[eager beacon]

@worthy ridge already gave you the good advice on how to handle it, I think you should take their advice.

[eager beacon]

Use an if else statement based on whether they win or lose

if won:
sprite = 'gif1'
else:
sprite = 'gif2'
movie = QMovie(sprite)

....

I still think you should use the properties that were suggested earlier, or QStateMachine

[coarse mirage]

I'll look into thanks.

please don't spam, please say what you have tried, please actually search such a simple thing before asking

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44595234/how-to-display-an-image-in-a-canvas-object-in-tkinter-using-the-path-obtained-fr

@civic lava i would suggest using PhotoImage() to open image files.

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
image=PhotoImage(file='/path/to/image.png')
c = Canvas(root) ; c.pack(side='top', expand=True, fill='both')
c.create_image(100, 100, image=image)
root.mainloop()

just replace /path/to/image.png with the actual path of the image.

[tawdry mulch]

Keep in mind though, tk.PhotoImage can not open 'jpg' images @civic lava

If someone created a python & Electron app then would the final version of the app need to have python integrated in it?

[eager beacon]

I don't see why you would need to include python. Assuming you're using python for something like a backend server with cherry py or flask.

though since electron makes it easy to bundle cross-platform apps I don't see a reason not to include python

So I was trying to change the style of my lil app. And noticed changing the style did absolutely nothing. Is this due to not putting anything in a frame, so its essentially just opening up tabbed pyplot windows and theres no Qt frame for me to edit the style?

1. putting this in a frame, will it change any of the functionality from the event handling with mpl?
2. without putting it in any container, do I have any sort of options to change the window style or add a save button or anything else?

looking a bit boring currently

Also is there a way to change the tab's appearance? Couldn't find any documentation or questions related to modifying that

i'm trying to make my todo list into a GUI

with a text entry where the user can input their to-do items and an 'add item' button that puts the text entry onto the item list

[digital rose]

You can use a Listbox for inserting items into.

[fair vine]

im trying to make a listbox now

wait what have i missed, not defined tkinter

but normally this works

import tkinter as tk

win = tk.Tk()


listbox_tasks = tkinter.Listbox(win, height=3, width=50)
listbox_tasks.pack()


win.mainloop()

[digital rose]

It should be tk.Listbox

Since you've imported tkinter as tk.

def add_task():
    task = entry_task.get()
    listbox_tasks.insert(tk.END, task)

i have this so far

but i'm getting this error - AttributeError: type object 'Listbox' has no attribute 'Entry'

nvm fixed it

how would i go about making a listbox widget that shows all items in my list?

[digital rose]

You can run a for loop that goes through your list and appends items in the listbox.

[tawdry mulch]

A simple example based on your code without using any loops(just using *):

import tkinter as tk

win = tk.Tk()

lst = [1,2,3,4,5]
listbox_tasks = tk.Listbox(win, height=3, width=50)
listbox_tasks.pack()

listbox_tasks.insert('end',*lst)

win.mainloop()

Also keep in mind, these height and width are not pixels.

QPushButton{border-image: url(C:/Users/Kevin/AppData/Roaming/vlc/art/artistalbum/James Arthur & Anne-Marie/The Greatest Showman_ Reimagined/art.jpg); background-color: transparent;}

somehow this gave me an error

Could not parse stylesheet of object QPushButton(0x28893a31500)

but i couldn't see anything wrong with the qss script

[eager beacon]

its because of the &

[plush stream]

ah, hold on.

you need to pass the path like a string in python using the double quote

now it works

i just get used to pass in the path without the double quote which usually works

[eager beacon]

Yeah there are some characters that require it. I'm not sure if you could use some sort of html escape without the quotes but its probably just easier to make sure there are quotes when you have something other than underscores/hyphens and slashes

[plush stream]

yeah makes sense

[eager beacon]

Apparently all you need is a backslash before if you're doing it without quotes. \&

[plush stream]

I'm still going to use the double quote because i want to pass a variable to the url();, not a constant

[eager beacon]

Are you changing the entire stylesheet of the button or something?

[plush stream]

yes

I'm using the button to display track album art

[eager beacon]

Oh, gotcah.. I just thought I somehow overlooked a way to use variables within a stylesheet.

[plush stream]

haha no

and another cool thing i did is change the dropshadow color according to the album art

[eager beacon]

Is that with the qgaphics effect applied to the button?

[plush stream]

yes

[eager beacon]

if you decide to add other graphics effects you should keep an eye on your CPU usage. I think there is some sort of bug in Qt that causes them not to be discarded properly or something. I had an app that I used a couple of them in and after having it open for awhile the python process would slowly creep up to 100%

it stopped when I removed the effects

but I do like how the effect matches the art

[plush stream]

huh, interesting. though fortunately i hadn't encountered that problem

the cpu usage is averaging on 2 - 4% usually and 32% max

it only jumps up when resizing

[eager beacon]

thats actually pretty good. Is that when playing a track?

[plush stream]

yes!

[eager beacon]

nice

[tawdry mulch]

I think instead of using QML and linking with python it is rather more easier to use PyQt right. Python as a backend for QML seems just time consuming idea.

[modern marsh]

yes

but StyleSheets have a problem

they can't be changed easily during runtime

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm, I see

[worthy ridge]

@plush streamu need to compile it into a resource back to use images in stylesheet and the path is not CSS compatible no spaces

[polar wave]

tkinter: hi! what event triggers when the cursor position changes in a textbox?

[modern marsh]

wait so, QSS is basically CSS?

[digital rose]

cursor position changes, either when you insert a character in the text box, or you navigate through the text with the arrow keys. take a look at this example, which makes use of the "<KeyRelease>" event to check for cursor position whenever you let go of any key on the keyboard.

from tkinter import *

def check_cursor(event):
    cursor_pos = event.widget.index('insert') # returns position of the cursor in this format: 'line.column'
    print(cursor_pos)

root=Tk()

t=Text(root, font=('DejaVu Sans Mono', 15, 'normal'))
t.pack(side='top', fill='both', expand=True)
t.bind('<KeyRelease>', check_cursor)

t.focus_set() # adds focus to the text widget.

root.mainloop()

[digital rose]

another thing, that even mouse actions can trigger cursor position changes, for example, when you move the cursor to a different position in the text you've entered.

a really decent hack would be to use the built - in event '<<CursorChange>>' to check for any cursor position changes, as well, you might call that a lazy solution.

[stoic jackal]

is there anyway to make a radio button deselectable in tkinter?

[digital rose]

yes, you can bind the radio button to a command that deselects it on clicking it, so that it can never be activated.
another way is to set its state to 'disabled', which greys the radio button out.

I need some help with tkinter

Please?

Help

I just need the piece of code that allows you to save and load Image files

[tawdry mulch]

Use filedialog to load

[chrome sail]

Hwo do i specify the filetype

The thing is, i know how to add a save button, and save a file, but i don't know how to load, or specify the file type...

[tawdry mulch]

Use the filetype option

filedialog.askopenfilename(filetype=[('jpeg','*.jpeg')])

What?

[chrome sail]

TY alot!!!

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmhmm xd

[tawdry mulch]

You want to deselect or disable it? Deselect it with deselect() method of radiobuttons

[chrome sail]

TY ALOT

[plush stream]

In some way yes! But unfortunately it doesn't fully support all the features that are currently in CSS. So yeah it's very limited.

[modern marsh]

Ah I see

[arctic frigate]

hi so i have this line
self.button0 = Button()

but some reason when i later print self.button0, its a NoneType

[tawdry mulch]

Because your code is like self.button0 = Button().pack(). @arctic frigate

[arctic frigate]

i have self.button0.grid() on the next line

i dont use pack

[lime monolith]

did you call the method menuSet

oh i see that now

[stoic jackal]

how do i disable an entry i ntkinter? rn im doing ```py
month_entry = Entry(top).grid(row = 4, column = 2)

if before_or_since.get() == 3:
month_entry.config(state = 'disabled')

else:
month_entry.config(state = 'normal')

i get the error ```py
month_entry.config(state = NORMAL)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'config'

i tried doing month_entry.config(state = 'DISABLED') and month_entry.config(state = DISABLED)

i also tried month_entry.configure(state = 'disabled')

[lime monolith]

do the grid call separately from creating the button .grid() returns None

month_entry = Entry(top)
month_entry.grid(row = 4, column = 2)

[stoic jackal]

it launchs without an error now but it still wont disable

basicly im trying to make it so when a radio button is selected the entry becomes disabled

[stoic jackal]

oh

[tawdry mulch]

and call the function after u hv typed something inside the entry

or whatever

[stoic jackal]

oh awesome it worked!

tysm

[lime monolith]

You have called the disable code before the gui event loop is running, you need to react to events in the GUI like the radio button click happening and then update the GUI in the event handler.

[stoic jackal]

the gui event loop is tk.mainloop()?

[digital rose]

i am trying to convert my qt5 project to exe using cx_freeze but its converts successfully and even runs it but i duno why whenever i click on any widget it crashes, now i noticed it doesn;t happen when i remove the base from the cx_freeze setup file```python
target=Executable(
script="main.pyw",
base="Win32GUI",

)

[lime monolith]

Yes

[stoic jackal]

before right?

ty i figured it out

[worthy ridge]

@digital rose try logging the app

[digital rose]

ah ok

[worthy ridge]

Because sometimes qt supresses errors

[digital rose]

oh alright ima use the logging module then and reconvert to exe

[worthy ridge]

Yeah and log to a file

I use nautika for this purposes

[digital rose]

nautika?

its a module

[worthy ridge]

Nope like it is used to make exes and freeze

[digital rose]

ah aight

[digital rose]

also do u know how to fix this, ;-; i only added those modules to include but cx_freeze include every package on my pc welp

[worthy ridge]

I dk much about cx

[digital rose]

aoh, so should i use nautika to convert to exe?

is it gud

@worthy ridge i logged the app behavior and it output an error, but duno wut this means cuz i didn;t get this whne running the py file

[worthy ridge]

I nwex code

[digital rose]

when i run the .py file it works fine

[digital rose]

nwex?

[worthy ridge]

Need

[digital rose]

ah ok

the function that output the error

[worthy ridge]

Ur missing an encoding attr

Btw u should subcalass the uo code

[digital rose]

i wrote an api to download animes and implemented into the gui, the self.api is the api

[digital rose]

ah ok

mmmmmm @worthy ridge r there any other packages to convert py to exe

no pyinstaller

:-:

[worthy ridge]

Nuitka

[digital rose]

aoh aight ima gib it a try

[digital rose]

can u tell me how to install nuitka

Damn, I see

Ummmm 'cmd' 😛

[polar wave]

this event is actually what I'm looking for, but when testing, it didn't activate whatsoever

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm I could not get it too @polar wave

[digital rose]

Yes, thats why the KeyRelease event is better.

[polar wave]

i did use <KeyRelease> but i used <KeyPress> at the same time because the thing I'm making needs constant updates

[digital rose]

I dont get you. For constant updates, the '<Key>' event should be better, that is triggered as soon as you press a key, but it rather gives the previous position of where the cursor was.

[polar wave]

yea... that was a problem for me... but using <KeyRelease> and <KeyPress> worked and i didn't get any issues.

[digital rose]

So when starting to type your cursor would be at '0.0', and pressing a key would print '0.0', but after inserting a character, it becomes '0.1', so it is not correct.

When using Key

[polar wave]

yea...

[digital rose]

The problem is, python is too slow to grab instant keyboard events, so another approach you could try maybe is to tell tkinter to look for cursor changes every 50 milliseconds, though that is kind of rough.

[polar wave]

oh ok.

i have another question though.

How do I make the textbox fill all the unused space? i'm using the grid system btw

[digital rose]

What do you mean by fill all unused spaces?

[polar wave]

like it filling the whole column and stretching to the end of the window.... but configuring the columns and rows doesnt seem to work

[digital rose]

This confuses me further. Anyhow, you need to use the expand and fill attribute in pack, that solves your purpose i think:

textbox.pack(side='right', fill='both', expand=1)

[polar wave]

can i use pack with grid though?

[digital rose]

I dont think you can.

Im pretty sure tkinter would throw a TclError saying that you cannot use pack when widgets are rendered using grid.

[polar wave]

it still doesn't stretch....

[polar wave]

sorry, just found the problem....

[digital rose]

in any case, you can interchange .pack() and .place().

so it could be better to use both of them throughout the app.

[amber roost]

I never found much of a reason to use place and tbh pack feels quite uncontrollable to me.
Makin cells resize with grid is possible, although more annoying than with place. All cells start out with a default row/column weight of 0, which means they will grow as large as their contained widgets demand and no more. You need to set the weight to something larger than 0 by calling w.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1) and w.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1), which will cause widget w's grid column 0 and row 0 to expand whenever w should resize; so to apply that to the textbox, call these methods of the text's parent widget and target the row/col that contains the text widget. You'll need to grid the text with sticky="nsew" as well to make it stick to the edges of its container cell and grow with it. [ @polar wave ]

[plush stream]

anyone have any idea how to style the QTableWidget/QTableView in qss? couldn't find any details from the doc on how to do it.

[eager beacon]

What do you want to do?

[plush stream]

edit the headers

[eager beacon]

This is from one of my old projects maybe it will help

QHeaderView {
    font-family: "Open Sans Light";
    font-size: 14px;

}

QHeaderView::section {
    height:39px;
    font-size: 14px;

QHeaderView::section:first:horizontal {
    border-left: none;
    border-right: none;

}

[plush stream]

just trying to match the style

[plush stream]

thanks!

[eager beacon]

ah yeah I think you should be able to get that changed.

let me know if you find out a way to set/resize the width of the columns when the window resizes in an intelligent way. I gave up on it and just used stretch on the last column

[plush stream]

oh i have a crude (but working flawlessly) solution for that

hold on

[eager beacon]

oh?

alright

[plush stream]

is this what you mean?

[eager beacon]

Yeah I think thats pretty much it

[plush stream]

    def resizeEvent(self, event):
        self.playtable.setColumnWidth(0, int(self.playtable.width() / 4))
        self.playtable.setColumnWidth(1, int(self.playtable.width() / 4))
        self.playtable.setColumnWidth(2, int(self.playtable.width() / 4))
        self.playtable.setColumnWidth(3, int(self.playtable.width() / 4))

so it's taking the QTableWidget's width and then divide it with the number of column you have

[eager beacon]

Yeah I think I tried something like that, my problem was if I changed the width on one of the cols manually It was hard to get that one to stay the sameish percentage without a bunch conditionals and making the resize kind of laggy/jumpy when I changed the size of the window after

and without those conditionals it was infuriating when I resized

[plush stream]

I've tried many different way to do it but none of them works/broken. this is the closest i can get to what i want

[eager beacon]

Yeah I think I tried a couple of different things but it was never quite right

I need to sit down one day when and figure it out... I bet if i read the docs more closely it would be easy to figure out

[plush stream]

we all know reading the docs is boring 🙂

but sometimes it saves you a hell lot of time

[eager beacon]

It would save so much more time if PySide/PyQt generated doc strings

Tkinter: How do you make the window like what you get when you have the tear-off set as True in a window? I'm talking about this but I don't know what it's called.

yes, but it's a window that you can customise.

the other place i can see it is in paint.net...

[digital rose]

helo can anyone help me with nuitka, how can i include my modules to the package

sed

[digital rose]

I think you're talking about a tool window, that only has an exit button, and can be used as a sub-window.
You can make your own by saying:

foo=Tk()
foo.wm_attributes('-toolwindow',True)

And keep in mind, this removes the window from the taskbar.

This attribute only works on Windows.

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py

```

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

[lean oak]

What happed? I don't understand

[digital rose]

use backticks to show code (`)

that makes it a bit more readable.

[lean oak]

How can I do it?

Off it, focus on code

[digital rose]

ok, anyways, to make a widget invisible you can say:

Player2.pack_forget()
# and
p2Entry.pack_forget()

but your widget handling is quite poor, once you create the widget and use .grid() in the same line, the widget becomes a NoneType object, so put the grid in a separate line.

[wise epoch]

Ight works

[digital rose]

further more, you can bind that to a button, you can use it as a command, and associate the command to the button:

def make_invis():
    Player2.pack_forget()
    p2Entry.pack_forget()

submit = Button( .. .. ., command= make_invis)
. .. .. . 
do not change the rest of the code

It's saying NoneType object has no attribute pack_forget

you are not reading my messages completely, i told you to put the grid statement in a separate line, otherwise the widget becomes a NoneType. @lean oak

you dont need string vars for everything, theres always config, and on top of it, it is always good practice to include variables and handle them properly.

[tawdry mulch]

I did not say to use StringVar(), if your using it, use it properly atleast

At any point use set() or get(). Its pointless, it will give error

[digital rose]

i do know he hasnt said StringVar(), and instead has said StringVar.

its from a general perspective.

[tawdry mulch]

I never use StringVar()

unless I want to use trace().

Or when using a grouped widget

[eager beacon]

it doesn't handle invalid syntax very well, does it?

[tawdry mulch]

a newbie should be using best practices to learn, else they will always remain newbie. No offence 😛

[digital rose]

i see. guess it applies to everyone round here.

[lean oak]

I also used StringVar, but somebody in here said it's StringVar

Thats ok

[digital rose]

you need to add parentheses there, like this:
StringVar()

or else the class wont be instantiated.

[lean oak]

I want help, plz viseur I have already placed grid in new line, but same error

[digital rose]

what error are you getting?

[tawdry mulch]

Why are you using a StringVar(), to get the values right, just try Player1Name.get()

[lean oak]

If you have some time

Can I call u

It would be more easy to describe my issue

[digital rose]

not call, but you can dm me for sure. feel free to do that.

[plush stream]

apparently it crashed because the app can't access certain files due to insufficient permission (i looked through the traceback). so launching it as admin fixed the problem.

[eager beacon]

in the windows temp dir or something?

[plush stream]

maybe

i didn't check the exact path

[digital rose]

a general question, how is syntax highlighting handled in real time in IDEs? because seemingly highlighting text on key presses makes it a bit slower.

at least in python.

[eager beacon]

I think there were issues if you used a non hex color, like rgb(255,0,0).

[plush stream]

oh

it could be also that because i think it crashed when i typed using rgba

[eager beacon]

Yeah, I cant remember every crash but I do remember thinking it would be pretty cool if it wasn't so unstable.

[plush stream]

there is however a more stable alternative that i found

[eager beacon]

and dont even think about using a palette color as a variable!

[plush stream]

what do you mean?

[tawdry mulch]

Are IDEs coded in python 🤔?

[digital rose]

i thought IDLE was 😛

[tawdry mulch]

IDLE is made in tkinter, AFAIK

[digital rose]

i thought tkinter was in PYTHON.

[tawdry mulch]

You mentioned IDE, not IDLE

[eager beacon]

like palette(button), ya know?

[plush stream]

oh

[digital rose]

its fine if you dont know the answer to my question. IDLE is an IDE, coded in python, also a general purpose text editor.

[plush stream]

i like idle for quick script

[digital rose]

and when i say IDE it can be any, out of the ones created in the world.

[tawdry mulch]

The IDE I use is VS Code maybe you should search out what all IDE exists out there

[digital rose]

does that answer the question?

[digital rose]

^

[tawdry mulch]

IDLE is one of the many, not the only one. Pretty sure VS Code is not done in Python

[digital rose]

my question was about "handling syntax highlighting in real time" not - "tell me about IDEs" @tawdry mulch .

[eager beacon]

There are several IDEs that are made with Python

https://www.spyder-ide.org/ is probably the best example

[tawdry mulch]

What makes you think about the keypresses? are slow

[digital rose]

i see, spyder is one of nicest looking editors.

[tawdry mulch]

Kinda reminds me, there is an library for syntax highlighting with python

[eager beacon]

QScintilla

[plush stream]

has anyone tried pyside6 yet

[eager beacon]

yes, missing a lot of basic stuff

[tawdry mulch]

Has a version for python? @eager beacon

[eager beacon]

like QImage formats

[eager beacon]

yep

[plush stream]

im looking for QtWinExtras but i hadn't find it

[tawdry mulch]

Damn can be usefull

[eager beacon]

yeah, 6.2 is the goal for most of the missing stuff I think

there is a blog post somewhere that has a roadmap

[plush stream]

oh okay

i thought the classes were relocated or something

[tawdry mulch]

Shouldnt they have done it together at first version itself? @eager beacon _

[chrome sail]

Cascades?

[chrome sail]

Image I meant

[tawdry mulch]

Well he meant, that Menu() has a tearoff=True option, to replicate that effect on a window @chrome sail

Well depends

[tawdry mulch]

What image

Usually *.jpg and *.png does it

[chrome sail]

Upper or Lower-case?

[tawdry mulch]

Well, try both :p

[tawdry mulch]

Lower I assume

[chrome sail]

It still won't ope

Any files

[tawdry mulch]

share that line of code @chrome sail

[chrome sail]

def saveFile():
    ProPixelSave = filedialog.asksaveasfile(filetype=[('jpg','*.jpg')])

[tawdry mulch]

Tis wud open all jpg files

[tawdry mulch]

filetype=[('jpg','*.jpg'),('png','*.png')] Try this now

[chrome sail]

def openFile():
    ProPixelOpen = filedialog.askopenfilename(filetype=[('jpg','*.jpg')])

Thnx imma try!

[tawdry mulch]

The first part of the tuple is what you see down there, the second part of the the tuple is the file extension to choose from

[tawdry mulch]

In IDLE i think it uses pygments

[plush stream]

what are you guys tryna do

[tawdry mulch]

Who!! @plush stream

[digital rose]

No. It applies tags using some constant patterns defined in some file, and uses re to do that.

[tawdry mulch]

Oh I see

Did not know this: https://docs.python.org/3/library/idle.html#developing-tkinter-applications

[stoic jackal]

How do I reduce the amount of space between each column in tkinter? I have to fit 7 widgets in one row

I tried using sticky and padx

[tawdry mulch]

Can u show us an example @stoic jackal

columnspan seems like the obvious guess

[stoic jackal]

month_entry = Entry(top, width = 2)
month_entry.grid(row = 4, column = 3)
month_label = Label(top, text = 'Month', font = ("Arial", 10)).grid(row=4, column=2)

day_entry = Entry(top, width = 2)
day_entry.grid(row = 4, column = 5)
day_label = Label(top, text = 'Day', font = ("Arial", 10)).grid(row=4, column=4)


year_entry = Entry(top, width = 4)
year_entry.grid(row = 4, column = 7)
year_label = Label(top, text = 'Day', font = ("Arial", 10)).grid(row=4, column=6)

it runs off the screen

[stoic jackal]

okay ill try that

[tawdry mulch]

Wait, I dont understand what you mean, can you include an screenshot

[stoic jackal]

okay

[stoic jackal]

i want them to be next to each other

and the year part runs off the screen

also columnspan did not work

[tawdry mulch]

there is so much empty space

can you post full code

!paste

[proven basin]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[tawdry mulch]

I think some widget above is using all those extra space @stoic jackal

[stoic jackal]

oh

okay

I cant past full code tho

ill use the paste thing

[tawdry mulch]

Kay

[stoic jackal]

https://pastebin.com/cGPmD2A3

[tawdry mulch]

Try

title.grid(row = 1, column = 2, pady = 20, columnspan=6)
 
label2.grid(row = 2, column = 2, pady = 20, columnspan=6)

@stoic jackal

The rest of space is due to padx.

[stoic jackal]

oh awesome its way better now

so the title and label2 were taking up space?

[tawdry mulch]

Yep, so make it span across 6 columns

well the column number depends on how many columns you want to include within it

[stoic jackal]

okay

[tawdry mulch]

Though I would follow PEP8, while writing code

it keeps your code neat

[stoic jackal]

oh so the column was being "stretched'

[tawdry mulch]

...to fit the top 2 columns width

[stoic jackal]

PEP8? Interesting ill check it out

[stoic jackal]

Okay I understand tysm

[eager beacon]

Qt has a gigantic code base and they apparently want to make some changes/reorganize it a bit and they have to do it on the C++ side so its probably really difficult. TBH i don't know how they can make any changes without breaking a lot of other stuff.

[versed vessel]

Can i use any font that its installed in my PC with tkinter?

[eager beacon]

I can't see a good reason why you wouldn't be able to

[versed vessel]

Ok ok

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm I see

[tawdry mulch]

Yes you will be able to

But while sending it to someone else, there will be issue.

Take a look here https://github.com/nihaalnz/ToDoApp/blob/03b2835422138b21433495930c239ef76b7268af/lstbox.py#L10

[proven basin]

lstbox.py line 10

pyglet.font.add_file('fonts/coolvetica compressed rg.ttf') # Add the task font```

[versed vessel]

Pyglet is a library i need to import?

[tawdry mulch]

You need to install it first @versed vessel

[tawdry mulch]

Only keeping in mind, this

Issue means, the font wont load and default font will be used. If you check that repo, you can see how I used custom fonts

you can even download the app and try it and see the fonts work

[versed vessel]

Ok ok

I'll try it

https://github.com/nihaalnz/ToDoApp/blob/03b2835422138b21433495930c239ef76b7268af/lstbox.py#L37

So here i have to put the name of the font im trying to use

[proven basin]

lstbox.py line 37

font=('coolvetica compressed rg',30), tag='text') #250,25```

[tawdry mulch]

Yea exactly, but make sure the name of the font is the NAME of the font

not the name of the font file

See the Font Name is Roboto

That is what you have to use

[versed vessel]

Its is working! Thanks a lot!

[tawdry mulch]

Just to be sure, make sure to test it later on another system and do let me know 😄

[versed vessel]

Hmm, i can commit it to github and you can try it if you want

[tawdry mulch]

Kay sure, just ping me once your done

[versed vessel]

Here it is: https://github.com/MrFellox/flimsy-timer

Sorry because i dont have any releases 😅

[tawdry mulch]

Yea, all cool

[tawdry mulch]

😄

[versed vessel]

Nice!

The widgets are in different order because i did some things with the grid before commiting but the font works, thanks a lot!

[tawdry mulch]

Yepp

[hybrid spindle]

So I have the following within my main app:

        def saving(self):
            print('clicked')
            pdb.set_trace()

        button = QPushButton("SAVE",self)
        button.setGeometry(550,30,200,30)
        #pdb.set_trace()
        button.clicked.connect(saving(self))

Unfortunately immediately upon running the program, it prints 'clicked' and calls the debugger. Why doesnt it wait for me to actually click the button to execute the 'saving' function?

[tawdry mulch]

Try: button.clicked.connect(saving)

Wait, what. How can you pass in self, it is not a method

Do you really need to pass self to saving?

[hybrid spindle]

I did want to access components saved in self.

[tawdry mulch]

Then make it a method

keep it in same indentation level as __init__

Then button.clicked.connect(self.saving)

But before all this, do give button.clicked.connect(lambda: saving(self)) a try

[hybrid spindle]

beaut

that did it!

[tawdry mulch]

Though, try accessing some elements with self and see if it works. It just seems like a very weird way. Rather creating a method seems more conventional (?)

[modern marsh]

wdym by creating a method

[tawdry mulch]

A method of a class.

class Foo:
  def __init__(self):
    pass
  def this_is_a_method(self):
    pass

[hybrid spindle]

That was probably my issue. I tried it first as a class, but was outside of the main app. Didnt seem to like how I was doing it.
But yeah, I can access everything within self by using lambda

[tawdry mulch]

Cool, but seems weird. Indeed I have seen no one do it like that 😛 Cool idea

[hybrid spindle]

The more you know! haha

[modern marsh]

sure, but what are you using it for

[tawdry mulch]

The methods?

[modern marsh]

@hybrid spindle what class have you inherited

[modern marsh]

yes

[tawdry mulch]

Because you can call the methods from anywhere inside and outside the class

[modern marsh]

eh outside not so easily unless its static

[tawdry mulch]

After initialization of the object?

Like

[modern marsh]

Yeah

[tawdry mulch]

app = Foo()
app.this_is_a_method()

[modern marsh]

Yes

[tawdry mulch]

Like that it is usefull 😄

[modern marsh]

You are calling the function inside the button and hence, calling the function when the button is initialised

A lambda ensures that this does not happen

[modern marsh]

this is what i was talking about

[tawdry mulch]

Hah!

So to conclude @hybrid spindle, When calling or assigning functions, dont use (), that will call the function directly. If the function has no parameters, then just type the func name, else use lambda or partial.

[modern marsh]

You can pass self in a function depending on what self is

Thats why I asked what class you inherited

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm, not sure

[spring ibex]

In tkinter I'm trying to allow users to select serial ports to use and open

I've managed to locate and add all the code to find and add the serial ports into a combobox

but I'm wondering how can I use the user selection in opening the serial port

[tawdry mulch]

How do you open a seriel port? @spring ibex

serial.Serial() something I guess?

[spring ibex]

I'm trying to get it to open the selected serial port... Is their anyway to get this to work

[tawdry mulch]

Yea

but what is the code used to open? So i can give an example

[spring ibex]

This is the code that I'm using to find and allow users to select com ports: https://srcb.in/hbOnjKxQuw

[tawdry mulch]

What is wrong there

[spring ibex]

I don't know how to open the serial port with the selected com port

[tawdry mulch]

the tkinter part doesnt make any issue there, so this isnt really a UI question

[spring ibex]

It's a combobox and I'm wondering how do I use the selection from the combobox to open a serial port

[tawdry mulch]

You get the selection with get(). That is implemented correctly. Opening a port is not tkinter, so...

Google it? @spring ibex

[tribal coral]

What's a good way to keep code organized when working with GUIs? Using PyQT and my code is an absolute mess. I'm trying to refactor it and put it into a class of some sort, but just not sure how everything would work at that point.

[tawdry mulch]

Follow this maybe https://pyserial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shortintro.html

@spring ibex

[spring ibex]

Thanks

[lime monolith]

Do you have an example of GUI code that you would like to refactor?

[tribal coral]

you want me to send the file, or something like pastebin?

[lime monolith]

Will it paste here, is it a lot of code ?

[tribal coral]

like 100 lines, but probably over discord limit of 2k characters

first time messing with GUIs, so some imports might be useless and code might be a mess

but here

https://pastebin.com/j8kBRkQU

[lime monolith]

I'm not that clued up on PyQt, i will take a look but someone proficient in PyQt might come along and have a look now you code is listed.

[tribal coral]

Alright

I'll be looking around to hopefully get an idea

[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.

[lime monolith]

Here is the beginnings of changing the code to use a class.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/rifekodugu.rb
I think i would have to know more about PyQt to tidy it up any further.
P.S. I commented out NetFinder code for it to work for me.

[tribal coral]

what are *args and **kwargs

and the -> None

never seen any of those

[lime monolith]

-> None is a type hint my IDE added it, its not necessary you can remove it.
*args and **kwargs allows you to pass multiple arguments and keywords, rather than stating the specific required ones.

[tribal coral]

whats the point of unspecified arguments?

[lime monolith]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3394835/use-of-args-and-kwargs

[tribal coral]

i see

didnt know that was a thing

[lime monolith]

by doing

class Window(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

it passes any arguments or keyword arguments i use to the parent class.

[arctic frigate]

hi, so i have a while loop at the end of my tkinter file with the update_idletasks() and update() methods in them

i also have so input conditionials from keypresses and it seems that the input is kind of delayed or sometimes does not get registered when pressed

any way to resolve this?

[tawdry mulch]

Post the code pls

root.mainloop() is an alternative of update() and update_idletasks() used together inside a infinite loop.

[arctic frigate]

well i needed stuff inside the main loop so i used a while loop with those 2 commands

one sec

while True:
    if a1.play == False:
        if GPIO.input(switches[0]):
            if a1.button == 0:
                a1.button = 3
            else:
                a1.button -= 1
        if GPIO.input(switches[3]):
            print('f')
            if a1.button == 3:
                a1.button = 0
            else:
                a1.button += 1
        if a1.button == 0:
            a1.button0['bg'] = 'red2'
            sleep(.1)
        else:
            a1.button0.config(bg='white')
            sleep(.1)
        if a1.button == 1:
            a1.button1.config(bg='red2')
            sleep(.1)
        else:
            a1.button1.config(bg='white')
            sleep(.1)
        if a1.button == 2:
            a1.button2.config(bg='red2')
            sleep(.1)
        else:
            a1.button2.config(bg='white')
            sleep(.1)
        if a1.button == 3:
            a1.button3.config(bg='red2')
            sleep(.1)
        else:
            a1.button3.config(bg='white')
            sleep(.1)
        if GPIO.input(switches[4]):
            a1.commands[a1.button]()
        
    a1.update_idletasks()
    a1.update()

it works, but i either have to hold the button down or i press it and there's a delay

i know its meh coding design but its for my final project and i kinda through it together bc it's due tomorrow

@tawdry mulch

i also have a portion of the code in pygame and the buttons do not have a delay in the pygame loops

[modern marsh]

As Chris said Qt 6.2 is going to have all the features so depending on what you are doing, it's probably not a good idea

Pyside6 is currently on Qt 6.1 ig

[polar wave]

tkinter: hi! how do i prevent insert() adding a new line when triggered?

[digital rose]

In a Text widget?

[polar wave]

yes

[digital rose]

Can you show some code?

[polar wave]

wait for a sec

[digital rose]

In any case, by default the text widget is configured to add a newline at the end, so right after you use insert, you can say this:

text.insert(..)
text.delete('end-1c', 'end')

[polar wave]

ty! im going to try it.

[digital rose]

end-1c means: 1 character before the end of the text widget. So when the text widget inserts a new line, it uses the escape code \n, which is one char.

[polar wave]

ok, that's handy. thanks!

[digital rose]

No problem. Another thing, when using indices like insert or end, you can use +n chars or -n chars for any positive integer n, to access some number of characters before or after that index.

[polar wave]

nice! ty!

[digital rose]

hi

[modern marsh]

Hello

[polar wave]

oh, it's fine. thanks tho 🙂

[zenith epoch]

any idea how i can i make a fixed, frameless window draggable, dont want to resize

in pyqt5

[tawdry mulch]

In QML, I had to set some flag and set the min and max height and width to the same dimension. @zenith epoch

It would be same with PyQt5 also, maybe?

[plush stream]

you can use the setFixedWidth and setFixedHeight function in pyqt/pyside to set a fixed width to your window

[tawdry mulch]

For draggable I used mouse area to the top bar part and then gave it a qt drag handler

[plush stream]

and use Qt.WA_FramelessWindowHint for frameless window

[zenith epoch]

mouse area?

i made the window frameless and fixed

just need to make it draggable

[plush stream]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/37718648

Seems like that is QML only feature? DK

[zenith epoch]

oh

[plush stream]

oh also talks about qt

i've been facing this issue recently

where i tried to change the color of the QScrollBar

but it's displaying these weird pattern

it's sort of invisible when the color white is applied because it blends

but when it's set to darker color, it became visible

any idea why?

QScrollBar:vertical {
    background: rgb(57, 63, 82);
    border: 0px solid #666666;
    width: 15px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    padding-left: -2px;
    padding-right: -2px;
}

if you want a sort of uhh hack, use QSizeGrip

anyone here play with remi? i am trying to run a few of the example apps and i keep getting an error on any app with a button. anything with a onclick.do throws the error Method 'onclick' has no 'do' member

shit. apparently it works in IDLE but not VSC

I have not heard about remi, but maybe I could help

[autumn badge]

apparently it isnt a remi problem. VSC is being stupid again

as much as i like VSC, it is becoming a PITA

the self.bt.onclick.do(self.on_button_pressed, "Name") throws the error in VSC

[autumn badge]

why? I have no idea. every once in a while VSC gets buggy and just hates me. I dont change anything and then all of a sudden a certain module (like tkinter) wont work. The next day, it will

[worthy ridge]

@plush stream change add page and sub page sub control

Hello, i have a gui with few widgets which are inside a function ,I want to remove(forget)all the widgets when a function is called

[orchid saffron]

don't know if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know if it is possible to interact with closed captions on a google meet(google classroom application)? for example, could you look for a word in the CC and when it pops up, say it's "apple" the code would output something?

[autumn badge]

possible if Google has an API for it

[orchid saffron]

is there a source where I could check if they do? If not, do you think something could be adapted, maybe a screen recording that could be scanned perhaps?

[autumn badge]

i dunno. maybe goolge it? #irony

i think google has a site where they list all of the APIs they have

[orchid saffron]

oh alright, I will try that. what do you think about the feasability of the second option? maybe use something similar to the CC tech to look for specific words?

[autumn badge]

what is your end goal for it? light a light if "apple" is said?

[orchid saffron]

anything really, I would like to make an simple program that can recognize the words in the closed captioning and if a certain words is there, give an output

a primitive version might just to add the word to a list and count how many times it it said

but you could easily expand this

thanks bud, I will do some more research myself later but this will def hellp. have a nice day !

[tawdry mulch]

hmm lemme take a look

[tawdry mulch]

Sure, using tkinter?

[tawdry mulch]

tkinter?

[hoary venture]

yes i did

[tawdry mulch]

Great, what is the problem then

[hoary venture]

looks like this

[shell sleet]

yes

[hoary venture]

i wnat it to calculate the Total Due

[tawdry mulch]

Show the code, then

[tawdry mulch]

ok then, what is total due

[hoary venture]

Total amount*Tax Percentage

[autumn badge]

so if you have a 10% tax you will want to set the total to
total = amount + (amount*tax)

[plush stream]

Thanks! I seem to have missed that one.

[tawdry mulch]

Cool, now show us the code

[worthy ridge]

@plush stream https://github.com/UGLYclown999/Apollo

[tawdry mulch]

Works fine on my system

[worthy ridge]

Look up my style

[tawdry mulch]

Paste as text pls

!code

[proven basin]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[hoary venture]

ok

[autumn badge]

lol ikr. it should work but for some reason my windows VSC sucks.

[tawdry mulch]

@autumn badge Out of curiousity, why are you not importing the library

[hoary venture]

expr=""
def calculate_due():
    intxt = float(Amount_Entry.get())  
    txt=float(Tax_Entry.get())

Try this @autumn badge

import remi.gui as gui
from remi import start, App

class MyApp(App):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        super(MyApp, self).__init__(*args)

    def main(self):
        container = gui.VBox(width=120, height=100)
        self.lbl = gui.Label('Hello world!')
        self.bt = gui.Button('Hello name!')
        self.bt2 = gui.Button('Hello name surname!')

        # setting the listener for the onclick event of the buttons
        self.bt.onclick.do(self.on_button_pressed, "Name")
        self.bt2.onclick.do(self.on_button_pressed, "Name", "Surname")

        # appending a widget to another
        container.append(self.lbl)

        self.lbl.set_text('Button pressed!')
        widget.set_text('Hello ' + name + ' ' + surname)

# starts the web server
start(MyApp)

[autumn badge]

think i might have found the source of the problem

[tawdry mulch]

Tadaa

Open the json and give the path of your python interpretter

[tawdry mulch]

Code works fine

Do you realize that you have not set the text for the label?

[hoary venture]

what should i put there?

[tawdry mulch]

Due_Entry = Label(window, text=Totaldue, fg = "white", bg = "black", font = "Aleo")

[hoary venture]

ok

[autumn badge]

i set the interpreter, it runs but still says that onclick has no do member.

[hoary venture]

OMG THANKYOU SO MUCH GUYS

[autumn badge]

it worked though

weird

[hoary venture]

YOU GUYS ARE REALLY HELPFUL

[tawdry mulch]

You did not import the libraries before

[autumn badge]

oh......im pretty sure i have

[tawdry mulch]

Ok then send the ENTIRE code

[tawdry mulch]

the code you sent were missing those, so I added those in and it worked

[autumn badge]

wait, what di dyou add?

[tawdry mulch]

import remi.gui as gui
from remi import start, App

[autumn badge]

oh shit. i see now. for some reason it didnt grab the entire thing, my bad

[tawdry mulch]

So did you have it in your code?

[autumn badge]

yea, i did

there is the code with the errors

[tawdry mulch]

have you tried running the app?

the error is pylint one, more like a warning

[autumn badge]

yea, it runs but has those errors

normally warnings are yellow

like that

[tawdry mulch]

I am in a very early stage to tell that ur python is broken 😛

[autumn badge]

im sure it is man.

[tawdry mulch]

Just a min

[autumn badge]

actually, i think python is fine

VSC is borked

you got a good way to uninstall it completely? so i can reload it and start over?

i get no errors when trying it with IDLE

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmm Control Panel uninstall

and reinstall

[autumn badge]

settings still stay

need to find a way to purge

[tawdry mulch]

Anyway your not alone

https://www.reddit.com/r/RemiGUI/comments/g8ffvj/method_onclick_has_no_do_member/

At the end they solved it though @autumn badge

[autumn badge]

so basically, that will always show but it will still run?

[tawdry mulch]

Well it should. Don't you have a some sort of terminal?

[autumn badge]

yea. and i can certainly run it that way.

[tawdry mulch]

Press Ctrl + Shift + ` and then try typing 'python filename.py'

[worthy ridge]

@autumn badge https://github.com/UGLYclown999 there is a vscode setup config in my repo look it up in setup guide

[tawdry mulch]

So many languages :p

[worthy ridge]

What

[tawdry mulch]

@worthy ridge

[worthy ridge]

3 languages and many frameworks

[tawdry mulch]

Great!

[tawdry mulch]

Blender uses python right

[worthy ridge]

Yes

But i use blender as in 3d art more

[tawdry mulch]

Yea, I did try it before. Without python

It is free, is one of the best part

[worthy ridge]

Its great lol

[tawdry mulch]

Brilliant, I was too dumb to understand it back then. Mayb 6 years before?

[autumn badge]

thanks. will dig into it

[worthy ridge]

Nope 2 yrs @tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

No I meant, I tried it 6 years before and failed miserably

[worthy ridge]

Ohh

[tawdry mulch]

I would say don't care much

remi? Never heard of it

[worthy ridge]

U can look up

[autumn badge]

just one i wanted to try

[worthy ridge]

UGLYclown999 on artstation to see my art@tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

looks noice @worthy ridge

Well I do give a try ~ https://www.picuki.com/profile/grafficco

[worthy ridge]

Thats my first post

[tawdry mulch]

What is the use of python though? In blender

[worthy ridge]

For plugins

[tawdry mulch]

I see

[autumn badge]

??

[tawdry mulch]

I meant remi looked bad. Why bother use it

[autumn badge]

just wanted to play with it for a moment

what do you use?

[tawdry mulch]

If your looking for modern, use PyQt else use tkinter

These are the two best out there, IMO

I mean you could use Eel and so on...

[autumn badge]

im trying to stay away from QT modules. I dont like their screwy licensing

[tawdry mulch]

I am not making any app for commercial purpose yet, so it is fine right now

[autumn badge]

i understand that

i mainly write for internal use at work, but i would like the option to be able to sell

[tawdry mulch]

Once I get into this compleletely I would use Electron or something, rather than desktop apps

[tawdry mulch]

tkinter it is, then

[autumn badge]

but i knwo my selling volume will nto be $500/month

lol

[tawdry mulch]

There is also WxPython

[autumn badge]

there are many and i have tried many

[tawdry mulch]

Yep, but I feel tkinter is best out there

[autumn badge]

been writing with appJar lately

[tawdry mulch]

hah noice

Kivy seems worth a try too

[autumn badge]

aka - modified tkinter

[tawdry mulch]

Well, it is better IG

tkinter gives you the simplicity of using JUST PYTHON.

kivy uses kv files or somethting right? I havn't used it before

[autumn badge]

oh, i meant appJar. it is basically a skin over tkinter to make it "simpler"
that also means i have hit the limitations on my second app

Kivy looks cool, but yea, i would prefer a pure python interface. and something pissed me off about kivy.....i forget what.

pyforms would have been cool if it were more developed and supported

[tawdry mulch]

seems like you have tried alot of frameworks 😛

[autumn badge]

i went on a framework bender for about a year

like some, hate others, couldnt understand the rest

pyqt is pretty solid.

[tawdry mulch]

At the end of the day, tkinter can be made to look modern too. But ya limitations exist

[tawdry mulch]

pretty

[autumn badge]

gave up on pyside2 because any time i would install it, something would go wrong

[tawdry mulch]

now isnt a good time to try it then, more issues in pyside 6

[autumn badge]

tkinter is great but ugly. not just the UI but the code. not efficient at all

that is what drew me to appjar

it was a very simplified code version of tkinter. so i could pump out apps quick

[tawdry mulch]

I don't know about efficiency. But tkinter has every tool you would need to make a gui.

[autumn badge]

pysimplegui works well but it takes a hot minute to get used to

[tawdry mulch]

Well UI ugly, idk it depends on us. I was able to make this out of tkinter alone https://github.com/nihaalnz/ToDoApp

[autumn badge]

by "efficiency" i dont mean the running of the code but more the writing of it

for me at least

[tawdry mulch]

It is very very easy

right

[autumn badge]

everyone is different

some people love JS

i run as fast as i can as soon as i see it

[tawdry mulch]

:p

[autumn badge]

somethign about me and JS that just dont get along

[tawdry mulch]

I see

[autumn badge]

i should give tkinter and pyqt a try again.............at some point

[tawdry mulch]

Probably yea

[autumn badge]

too many things to do and know.........

[tawdry mulch]

Life..

[digital rose]

@tawdry mulch what cursor pack is that? Its actually quite a nice one!

Mouse pointer theme rather.

[autumn badge]

too many languages/scripts to know right now

Python, excel VBA, AutoLisp, Json, sql, etc

[tawdry mulch]

Its just an animated cursor off the internet. TBH that is my system cursor and not the tkinter cursor. But I have used the same with tkinter windows and it works. Had to abandon it cuz unfortunately Menu does not take in cursors @digital rose

[tawdry mulch]

Everything comes with a benefit, atleast

[digital rose]

Yes, i know it isnt a tkinter cursor, but could you tell me what pack it is?

[autumn badge]

havent seen it on the paycheck yet though LOL

[tawdry mulch]

http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-set/chroma

[digital rose]

Ah, i see, thanks.

[tawdry mulch]

Just to mimic razer :p

[tawdry mulch]

F 😂

[autumn badge]

you ever use PyScripter IDE?

[tawdry mulch]

I've never moved out of VSC

First Pycharm, then VSC. Casually IDLE to test some scripts

[autumn badge]

i kinda like it

kinda like pycharm without all the bloat

[tawdry mulch]

Such a heavy non beginner friendly editor...

[tawdry mulch]

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8nbznpndwhas1oe/AACLiQaJQveYDVKm6sa3qxVGa?dl=0 this seems to be more updated version

[autumn badge]

yea. VSC always reminds me of notepad++

[tawdry mulch]

Well atleast my VSC looks nice (for my eyes) :0

[autumn badge]

im gonna try out PyScripter for a while. I dont like how VSC keeps fucking up on me

[digital rose]

I've never moved out of Vim.

[tawdry mulch]

Heard its great too

[digital rose]

Rarely, either IDLE or Sublime Text 3.

When i feel bored

[autumn badge]

not beginner friends but very very functional (vim)
