user-interfaces

[digital rose]

Yes, the learning curve is steep but you get to use all your 10 fingers for typing, no mouse needed.

[tawdry mulch]

😛

[autumn badge]

very true

[tawdry mulch]

Worth a try IG

[autumn badge]

i have tried vim. i respect it, but not a fan

[digital rose]

Took me almost 3 months to get used to the million keybinds

[digital rose]

Its quite decent when you spend the time to fully learn it.

[autumn badge]

i agree

but that means more time.......

[digital rose]

Mm hmm. But you can always use a second editor alongside, when you need to do important work, and switch to Vim when you're free.

In any case, it's better to go with what you are best with.

[autumn badge]

maybe. between work and home life, i barely get time to do what i want.

i have a cnc router 60% built that has been sitting on my desk for months just waiting to be put together

[tawdry mulch]

gotta find time

[digital rose]

I guess this is getting off topic now 😅

[tawdry mulch]

I barely have time to manage both discord and stackoverflow too, and school works. It is just all a mess

[tawdry mulch]

Lol yea

[autumn badge]

trying. with a 10yo and a 1yo, time is a luxury i do not have.
But yea, we are off topic

so the best suggestions are pyqt or tkinter?

[sudden coral]

What are you trying to build?

There are more viable options for UI libraries.

[autumn badge]

the world
i was having issues when trying out remi, but found that was an IDE issue
Now i am just asking in general. basic desktop GUI apps.

whats your fav Mark?

[sudden coral]

I don't think it's fair to ask me that because I

have only properly tried Pyside (pretty much same as pyqt)

[autumn badge]

i would prefer pyside myself, but it always breaks when i install it

i dunno why. i just gave up

[sudden coral]

But I do like it. I think its biggest downsides are a steep learning curve and being fairly bulky since it's a very batteries-included type of library. That can have its benefits, but it isn't beneficial to simpler apps.

[autumn badge]

agreed. and it is almost like pyqt without the screwy licensing crap

[sudden coral]

Another downside is poor Python documentation, but that's steadily improving. Since the API very very closely follows the original C++ library, I just look at the C++ docs.

Some docs for Python still use C++ code examples, etc.

And there's a bigger community around the original C++ library, so you'd find more online resources for that.

[autumn badge]

i have dabled in pyqt, pyside, appjar, tkinter, pysimplegui, flask (poorly), pyforms, kivy, remi and a few others but am always on the hunt.
Its not that i dont like any of them or like one more than the other. I just like testing out different stuff to see if it offers something i didnt have before

[sudden coral]

Yeah, that's the best approach. Some libs do things quite differently (Kivy comes to mind), which is really divisive.

[autumn badge]

kivy is interesting. i will give it that

[sudden coral]

I think Qt has something sort of similar with QtQuick. In fact, some users complain that the direction of development is far too focused on QtQuick these days.

[autumn badge]

if a portable python could be made to make pyinstaller files smaller and faster, life would be good

off topic a bit but my desktop apps need to be "compiled" so i try to get some lightweight UI frameworks

[sudden coral]

As much as I do like Python, I think I would look to other languages for desktop GUI app development

[autumn badge]

the apps i have written for work

[sudden coral]

I'm kind of excited where .NET 6 is heading with MAUI https://github.com/dotnet/maui

[tawdry mulch]

Nice icons .

[autumn badge]

that work with C# then @sudden coral

?

[autumn badge]

thanks

[sudden coral]

Yeah.

I'd be fine with Python for some simpler apps though.

Depends on the scope and scale of the project.

[autumn badge]

i have been dabbling in C#. lots of new libs to learn

[sudden coral]

Packaging and distributing Python nicely is indeed an issue for Desktop apps.

[paper vigil]

How

[tawdry mulch]

theme?

[paper vigil]

yeah

[autumn badge]

and my IT dept at work will not let me have everyone install python on their computers

[paper vigil]

that looks so cool

[autumn badge]

if i could, life would be simple

[tawdry mulch]

What is their excuse

[tawdry mulch]

Synthwave x Flouromachie

[paper vigil]

Thank you!!

[autumn badge]

security

[tawdry mulch]

hmmhmmhm

[autumn badge]

im sure there was a vulnerability at one point at some time in the past on one of the versions, so they must all be bad

i will say, my IT dept is not the smartest. i got one guy who fights for me and is knowledgeable, but he aint the manager

[sudden coral]

It's probably just a lack of motivation to invest time to look into giving it security clearance. Also, any additional 3rd party app increases the attack surface of the machines.

[autumn badge]

i even considered java because of the swing lib, but i found out the IT dept removed java from all of the computers

[tawdry mulch]

SIKE

[autumn badge]

agreed. personally, i think it is laziness

[versed vessel]

Hello, so my UI looks like this:

How can i center on the top of the screen the random letter (scramble) and the timer on the actual center of the screen?

[tawdry mulch]

How do you place the widgets

[versed vessel]

Scramble

        self.scramble = Label(self.app, text=self.scramble_output, bg = '#232931', fg = 'white', font =('Overpass Mono Light', 12), anchor = NW)

Timer (display)

        self.display = Label(self.app, text='0.00', bg = '#232931', fg = 'white', font = ('DS-DIGITAL', 64), pady=100)

[tawdry mulch]

I meant, grid or pack or place

[versed vessel]

Oh, grid

[tawdry mulch]

show that code please

[versed vessel]

self.display.grid(row=1, column=0)
        self.start_button.grid(row = 2, column=0)
        self.scramble.grid(row=0, column = 0)

[tawdry mulch]

Is there column 2? anywhere

[versed vessel]

No

[tawdry mulch]

Ok then try adding sticky='ew'

[versed vessel]

In all of them?

[tawdry mulch]

Yeah

[versed vessel]

K

[tawdry mulch]

Hah the window is made big by dimensions

Are there just 3 widgets ALWAYS?

[versed vessel]

For now yes

The thing is

Ok hold on

[tawdry mulch]

pack() would give you directly

Give the code, let me see

[versed vessel]

This is how it looks without maximizing it

800x500

[tawdry mulch]

Can you give the code

[versed vessel]

And this is what im trying to make

[versed vessel]

Ok

[tawdry mulch]

then its better you use grid() itself

[versed vessel]

https://pastebin.com/eScMURVq

[versed vessel]

Ok

[tawdry mulch]

Well tkinter apps are not responsive by default

[versed vessel]

So i have to code how the UI looks when maximized?

[tawdry mulch]

That would make sense too.

Maybe @digital rose knows any better way

Basically you could use something like root.grid_columnconfigure(0,weight=1) @versed vessel

[versed vessel]

What does weight does?

[tawdry mulch]

Basically makes it like responsive, but that is not what you exactly want here

[versed vessel]

Ok, Imma focus first that the UI works on 800x500

Then I'll make it responsive

Or should i make it responsive instantly?

[tawdry mulch]

Responsive is not the best idea with tkinter. I usually just make my windows non resizable

I think the app looks cute, in small dimension 😛

[versed vessel]

Alright alright

How can i make it non resizable?

[rain jetty]

the window?

[versed vessel]

Yeah but i googled it already

[rain jetty]

cool

[versed vessel]

root.resizable(False, False)

[rain jetty]

or 0, 0 but yeah

[versed vessel]

Ok

[versed vessel]

I found a way to initialize my window as maximized

[tawdry mulch]

Sure, share it with us

[versed vessel]

root.state('zoomed')

[tawdry mulch]

That would set full screen only right?

[versed vessel]

Looks good, but it hides the taskbar

[versed vessel]

It looks as fullscreen, but the minimze and exit buttons show on the top

But it hides the taskbar

[tawdry mulch]

Try root.attributes("-fullscreen", 1) @versed vessel

Both should look some IG

[versed vessel]

It opens it as fullscreen

[tawdry mulch]

What about these

[versed vessel]

No taskbar

Don't see why you would need the taskbar

Guess I'll leave it like that

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm whatever suits you

[versed vessel]

I'll leave it like that

When i get to post the timer, I'll ask for feedback if i rather choose 800x500, fullscreen or leave it as it is

[tawdry mulch]

Sure 😄

[hoary venture]

hello i am trying to put a messagebox.showwarning if there is no value entered

but it does not work

can someone help?

[tawdry mulch]

Show the code @hoary venture

[hoary venture]

print(
from tkinter import*
def calculate_due():
    intxt = float(Amount_Entry.get())  
    txt=float(Tax_Entry.get())
    if intxt !="":
        Totaldue= round(intxt*(txt/100),2)
       
        Due_Entry = Label(window,text=Totaldue, fg = "black", bg = "white", font = "Calibri")
        Due_Entry.place(x=150, y=120)

lbl4= Label(window,text="Total Due: ",fg="white",bg="black",font="Calibri")
lbl4.place(x=25,y=120)

# Due_Entry= Label (window)
# Due_Entry.place(x=150,y=120,width=70)

btn1= Button(window,text="COMPUTE",bg="white",fg="black",command= calculate_due)
btn1.place(x=100,y=160)

window.mainloop()

[tawdry mulch]

You should understand that if the boxes are empty float() will give an error @hoary venture

So you should put that inside the if.

[hoary venture]

ok

[tawdry mulch]

did u get it?

[hoary venture]

it says intxt is not defined

[tawdry mulch]

Use if Amount_Entry.get()!="": then

[hoary venture]

oh nvm i got it

thankyou so much 😀

[tawdry mulch]

At the end it should look like: @hoary venture

def calculate_due():
    if Amount_Entry.get() !="":
        intxt = float(Amount_Entry.get())  
        txt=float(Tax_Entry.get())
        Totaldue= round(intxt*(txt/100),2)
       
        Due_Entry = Label(window,text=Totaldue, fg = "black", bg = "white", font = "Calibri")
        Due_Entry.place(x=150, y=120)   
    else:
        messagebox.showwarning(" Stop!","Please enter a value")

[versed vessel]

Is it better to name your labels lbl1, lbl2 or not? I name it as what they are/do

For example on my timer, the time, is called display, the algorithm to scrable the cube is called scramble, the Running... text is called state

[tawdry mulch]

Name it the purpose they serve

[versed vessel]

Ok ok

[stable folio]

Hello, any idea how to make a timeline using PyQt, like the one in the picture, thanks.

[eager beacon]

I'd think the best way to do something like that would be to use QGraphicsView/Items to build the tick line, track area, and the slider.

The controls in the bar at the top could be part of the widget holding the view or create a toolbar in the scene

[mental gyro]

hey, im planning on building a cryptocurrency (full nodes written in Python) but have mobile and desktop apps for making transactions

if there a way i can have the app without going via apple app store?

i dont wanna have to do go via apple dev stuff (getting it accepted onto the app store)

and also dont wannna pay alot of money to be an apple developer

because its just a project for me and a smallish group of friends/classmates to use at school. im not gonna make any money out of it, so it'll just be a huge money pit

[digital rose]

of what?

[versed vessel]

Did u pinged me?

[digital rose]

hi, i'm trying to compile a script from python to exe using pyinstaller, i've already compiled some stuff whit it but now i want to compile a gui software, i'm using pygubu for ui objects but when i compile the code and execute i get py ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygubu.builder.tkstdwidgets'executing the code from idle works whit no problems, what i'm missing?

ping me to call my attention.

[digital rose]

Are you trying to fit widgets completely on the screen on window resize?

I read a bit about your problem yesterday.

[digital rose]

I found this thing on reddit

And it is SICK

[modern marsh]

indeed it is

[tawdry mulch]

Some question that was mentioned above

[versed vessel]

Yeah, but i decided to initialize window as fullscreen and make it non resizable

[worthy ridge]

@stable folio extend labeland use a painter to paint in a scrolling pattern

[scenic hornet]

why do i get none type as return

when it should be actually stream

tkinter*

[hollow drum]

how to get a permission to speak in voice chat?

[scenic hornet]

ping me on reply

[hollow drum]

???????????????????????????????????

[lime monolith]

There was no stream matching the given resolution for the call to get_by_resolution so it returns None, you cant call download on None.
https://pytube.io/en/latest/api.html#pytube.query.StreamQuery.get_by_resolution

[plain elk]

Not, like that at least. That's how you get banned :P

[scenic hornet]

but in youtube there is

sry im a beginner in tkinter so :P

[raven orchid]

Test

[scenic hornet]

what

[lime monolith]

It is not tkinter that is raising an error its pytube

[scenic hornet]

okay but i dont understand i tried in another quality and i got it

okay

[scenic hornet]

yea im generally saying

[scenic hornet]

what do u say here

ok now its only downloading in 360p

no other quality is moving on

[lime monolith]

You might want to do something like

stream = youtube.streams.get_by_resolution(k)
if stream:
    stream.dowload(path)
else:
    # give feed back that no stream was found```

[scenic hornet]

yeah but that would only give me the reply that no such quality is found like if i print it, but actually i cant get any other quality other than 360p and (720p, in some videos) even though its on yt in real

[versed vessel]

Any idea of how to make a side panel on tkinter?

self.sidepanel = Frame(self.app, bg = 'red', width = 200, height = 800) I created a frame and put it on the first column of the app

self.sidepanel.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=NW)

[lime monolith]

I don'y know I've never used pytube , i can only go by what the documents say

[versed vessel]

But i don't know why it moves my other widgets out of the screen

[scenic hornet]

aah

[hybrid spindle]

if you manually increase/decrease a pyqt window is there a way to get the geometry of that window to dynamically adjust button locations?

class mainWindow(QtWidgets.QTabWidget):
    def __init__(self,Abs, parent=None):
      #doing stuff


if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    main = mainWindow(Abs)
    main.resize(1400,900)
    
    main.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

I cant locate where the geometry is stored within "mainWindow"

[versed vessel]

Should i center stuff panning them?

[worthy ridge]

@hybrid spindle u need to actually use layouts they suto scale

[hybrid spindle]

oof. That'll be for another day then

[worthy ridge]

Qt designer is usef

Ui isnt coded

[hybrid spindle]

yeah, I learned about designer nearing the "completion" of what I was making

[modern marsh]

uhh QTabWidget is not a window

use QDialog or QMainWindow or QWidget

[versed vessel]

Ok so i got this code right now, which basically tells the timer is running.

def start(self):
        # Unshow last time or starting time
        self.display.grid_remove()

        # Start counting time
        self.start_time = timer.start()

        # Create widgets to show the timer is running and finish butto
        self.state = Label(self.app, text='Running...', bg='#232931',
                           fg='white', font=('Overpass Mono Light', 32))
        self.state.grid(row=1, column=1, sticky = EW, padx=560, pady=300)
        self.finish_button = Button(
            self.app, text='FINISH', fg='white', bg='#4ecca3', command=self.finish)
        self.finish_button.grid(row=2, column=1, columnspan=2, padx=275, sticky=N, ipadx=20)

        # Unshow start button and scramble widgets
        self.start_button.grid_remove()
        self.scramble.grid_remove()

What can i do so i can show the current time and not Running...?

What I thinked about is a while loop but I guess that's not the correct aproach

Basically im trying to find a way to update state to the current time - self.start_time without stopping/messing the whole code

[lime monolith]

Example of using an after call to update a time display every second

import time
import tkinter as tk


class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.time_label = tk.Label(self)
        self.time_label.pack()
        self.timer()

    def timer(self):
        self.time_label.configure(text=time.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
        self.after(1000, self.timer)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = App()
    app.mainloop()

[teal shard]

Not sure where to ask this....Does anyone know any nice augmented reality libraries for Android?

[tawdry mulch]

Is it a good idea to inherit from Tk? 🤔

[versed vessel]

How can i make so when i hit the spacebar my app detects if i hitted a button?

[tawdry mulch]

bind

[versed vessel]

It is much ordered bc you know when you are refering to a Tkinter thing

[versed vessel]

self.start_button.bind('<Key>', self.spacebar)

And my spacebar func is:

def spacebar(self, event):
        print('Clicked' + event.char)

But nothing happens

[tawdry mulch]

buttons wont have focus by default. Only if it has focus, it can read those binds

[versed vessel]

Ohhh

[tawdry mulch]

I would say root.bind('<Key>', self.spacebar).

[versed vessel]

So my mouse has to be on top of the button?

[tawdry mulch]

No, your focus has to be on the button

[versed vessel]

Ok what i want also another function have the same bind

[tawdry mulch]

Press tab and u will see a highligting around widgets, that has to be on the button

[versed vessel]

So when one function runs, unbind it from the one it just ran and bind it to the next one, that's my guess

[tawdry mulch]

Seems like a XY problem

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem

[versed vessel]

Lol

Alright, let me get the first thing working

[tawdry mulch]

So what is your main aim here

[versed vessel]

When i hit spacebar, my timer should start counting the time, when i hit spacebar again, it should stop

[tawdry mulch]

Okay, use a flag then

[versed vessel]

flag?

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmm let me try to give you an example

[versed vessel]

OK

[tawdry mulch]

Mmmm seems like it is taking more time than usual. I am not in my senses :p @versed vessel

[versed vessel]

Lol, no worries

[tawdry mulch]

I've done it before, dk whats happend to me now :p

[versed vessel]

Probably you need some rest, who knows

[lime monolith]

import time
import tkinter as tk


class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.time_label = tk.Label(self)
        self.time_label.pack()
        self._update_timer = True
        self.timer()
        self.bind('<space>', self.on_space)

    def timer(self):
        if self._update_timer:
           self.time_label.configure(text=time.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
        self.after(1000, self.timer)

    def on_space(self, event):
        self._update_timer = not self._update_timer


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = App()
    app.mainloop()```

[tawdry mulch]

I've dont this before but not using after(). Multiple calls to after will repeat the function at a faster rate

[tawdry mulch]

Something like this cud work too

So procedural example would be:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

time = 0
started = False # This is a flag
def start_timer():
    global time, started, rep
    if not started:
        time += 1
        lbl.config(text=time)
    root.after(1000,start_timer)


def stop(e):
    global started
    started = not started

lbl = Label(root,font=('',20))
lbl.pack()

root.bind('<space>',stop)
start_timer()

root.mainloop()

[versed vessel]

how would that be if um using classes?

[lime monolith]

It removes the need to use global, and helps organise things together

[tawdry mulch]

What? Inheriting from Tk?

[tawdry mulch]

The example given by @lime monolith shows in classes

[versed vessel]

I've tried using it on classes:

class Application():
    def __init__(self, app):
        self.app = app
        self.started = False
        #More stuff

def start(self):
        self.started = True
        if self.started == True:

            # Unshow last time or starting time
            self.display.grid_remove()
            #has_finished = False

            # Start counting time
            self.start_time = timer.start()

            # Create widgets to show the timer is running and finish button
            self.state = Label(self.app, text='.', bg='#232931',
                            fg='white', font=('DS-DIGITAL', 32))
            self.state.grid(row=1, column=1, sticky=EW, padx=560, pady=300)
            self.finish_button = Button(
                self.app, text='FINISH', fg='white', bg='#4ecca3', command=self.finish)
            self.finish_button.grid(
                row=2, column=1, columnspan=2, padx=275, sticky=N, ipadx=20)

            # Unshow start button and scramble widgets

            self.start_button.grid_remove()
            self.scramble.grid_remove()
            self.app.after(1000, start)

        # Make so timer updates elapsed time
        #timer.update_time(self.start_time, self.state, self.app)

[tawdry mulch]

The indentation is wrong, pls fix it

create another method called updater and then assign the oppt of whatever is self.start.

[versed vessel]

wrong that it would not run or that is not supossed to be indented like that?

I dont usually indent like that autopep8 does

[tawdry mulch]

def updater(self,e):
    self.start = not self.start

[tawdry mulch]

This code is unrunnable, start should be on same level as __init__.

Well both the example here assumes that the timer starts from first. I think you want the timer to start only when pressed spacebar right. @versed vessel

[versed vessel]

Yes

On start, what should happen (for now) is to put on on screen a scramble and the time at 0.00 and the start button

[tawdry mulch]

I am out of ideas, and very sleepy. Perhaps @lime monolith can help now

[versed vessel]

e stands for event?

[versed vessel]

Alright, good night

[tawdry mulch]

anything, basically event that is passed by tkinter when using bind.

[tawdry mulch]

You need to bind to updater and not start

[versed vessel]

Ok ok

And whenever updater runs just make self.started = False

And on def start(self): should i make a while loop?

[tawdry mulch]

This whole concept would work, but after running twice is not going to help.

[tawdry mulch]

why

[versed vessel]

Yea, because it will grid again all widgets and probably crash

[versed vessel]

Good point lmao

Im kinda blocked tbh

[tawdry mulch]

No widgets cannot be gridded more than once

[versed vessel]

Oh then an error

[tawdry mulch]

No errors would come, its simple not possible

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

l = Label(root,text='Hi',font=('',20))
for i in range(100):
    l.grid(row=i,column=0)

root.mainloop()

l is not created 100 times

one widget can only be placed once

[versed vessel]

Ok

If you want, move l inside the loop and see

[versed vessel]

So back again what i was trying to do, i got my bind set to updater, which makes self.started = False and in start class, it makes self.started = True

[tawdry mulch]

In __init__ call self.start().

[versed vessel]

But that would start the timer at inizialization

Or am i wrong?

[tawdry mulch]

I know. That is the problem with this method.

[versed vessel]

So I have to find another way

[tawdry mulch]

Ya... Better to ask in stackoverflow

[versed vessel]

Haven't used it 😅 how should i make my question?

[tawdry mulch]

If you want to recieve a proper answer, then show them what you have done so far

otherwise, all its gonna get is downvotes

[versed vessel]

Ok

[tawdry mulch]

Link it here once your done too, maybe Ill try to get some help @versed vessel

[versed vessel]

Ok ok

[versed vessel]

Ok before posting anything

I managed it to work

But not correctly

[tawdry mulch]

Sure, what did you do

[versed vessel]

On __init__ i putted this

#Bind spacebar to start timer
        self.app.bind('<Key>', self.updater_start)

And created 2 functions.

def updater_start(self, e):  
        if e.keysym=='space':
            print('Hitted spacebar')
            self.start()

    def updater_stop(self, e):
        if e.keysym=='space':
            print('Hitted spacebar')
            self.finish()

The problem is the time starts and stops and for some reason the elapsed time adds to the last time

[tawdry mulch]

This is the reason

[versed vessel]

I deleted them

[tawdry mulch]

? after()?

Then how does the time increase

[versed vessel]

when timer starts, i save a time.time() variable, when it finishes, it subtract the current time from the time.time variable and that its the elapsed time

[tawdry mulch]

Oh, I see

Then maybe send your entire code, let me see

[versed vessel]

def finish(start_time):
    # Calculate elapsed time and round it
    output = time.time() - start_time
    output = round(output, 2)

    # Check if its neccessary to format time with hours and minutes

    if output > 60:
        mins = round(output // 60)
        sec = round(output % 60, 2)
        hours = round(mins // 60, 2)

        # Format as minutes
        if mins >= 1 and hours < 0:

            # Format time as minutes:seconds and return it
            message = f'{mins}:{sec}'
            return message

        # Format as hours
        elif hours >= 1:
            # Format time as hours:minutes:seconds and display message
            message = f'{hours}:{mins}:{sec}'
            return message

    else:
        # Return just the seconds, there are no minutes or hours to format.
        return output

I got this code on another file

You got an answer, but its kinda the same I tried here but did no good. Anyway give it a shot again

[versed vessel]

It did worked

I changed some code but in general its the same

[tawdry mulch]

Okay cool 😄

[versed vessel]

#My version
def space_press(self, e):
        if e.keysym=='space':
            if self.space_presses == 0:
                self.space_presses += 1
                self.start()
            else:
                self.finish()
                self.space_presses = 0
        else:
            pass

[tawdry mulch]

You did not use his concept of even nd odd?

[versed vessel]

Not really, guess its easier with 0 and 1

[tawdry mulch]

Take a look at new answers, they are more experienced ones

[versed vessel]

Or is it more helpful with even and odd?

[tawdry mulch]

Remove the tick mark, take ur time to try out answers, wait a day to get some suggestions and then mark one

In the comments ask acw for an example of what he meant, he usually makes good point.

[lime monolith]

I've added a reply to your stack overflow question

[versed vessel]

OMG, you solved another of my problems

To update the time

def update_time(self):
        if self.timer_running:
            #Format elapsed time
            output = timer.finish(self.start_time)
            self.state.configure(text=output)
            self.app.after(1, self.update_time)

Did some small changes but it does work!

[lime monolith]

Setting the after value to 1 is a bit overkill, having it as 1 makes it happen every millisecond, in my example i had it as 100 which will be every 0.1 of a second which should be plenty.

[tawdry mulch]

isnt there a feature in cube timers to have yellow flag ? @versed vessel

[versed vessel]

How like yellow flag?

[versed vessel]

Hmmm, definitely will try that

[stray jackal]

what the hell is JSON really ?

[tawdry mulch]

you press space, then itll not start but show that it is about to start, and when you release space, it starts

Just like cube timers

[versed vessel]

Ohh

I just added that

I asked my cubing friends if they could try it but when they download it, it triggers a false positive

What are you trying to do with the status bar anyhow?

I can't reproduce on mac btw. maximize button is never disabled

i know i am disabling in the code.

[meager spoke]

i am doing nothing with status bar. The Status bar disappear if i disable maximize button through code

[eager beacon]

okay.. so how are you disabling the maximize button?

[meager spoke]

self.setWindowFlags(Qt.WindowMinimizeButtonHint | Qt.WindowCloseButtonHint)```

[worthy ridge]

@meager spoke show ur UI

not code

[eager beacon]

okay well the maximize button is working for me is what I meant

Is this the code you're running exactly?

because this isn't how you use a status bar

[worthy ridge]

@eager beacon moslty UI ineed to be filled to see the status bar

[meager spoke]

yes

[worthy ridge]

show ur UI dude

[meager spoke]

then how?

@eager beacon

[eager beacon]

I'm not sure what you expect to be able to tell from looking at the UI that you can't from the code

self.__status_bar = QStatusBar()
self.setStatusBar(self.__status_bar)

@eager beacon

@eager beacon check in this two pics if maximize button is not disabled it show status bar

set your status bar properly and tell me if it still happens

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

When the program gets to that line stack has not yet been defined.

How can I make a simple, square based but appealing tkinter interface

[digital rose]

Basically, I have a couple of QMainWindows in my program and all of them are defined in one python file in the following lines of code

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    Registration = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    Registration_ui = Ui_Registration()
    Registration_ui.setupUi(Registration)
    AlterMenu_2 = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_AlterMenu_2()
    ui.setupUi(AlterMenu_2)
    StaffAddition = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    StaffAddition_ui = Ui_StaffAddition()
    StaffAddition_ui.setupUi(StaffAddition)
    ViewStaff = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ViewStaff_ui = Ui_ViewStaff()
    ViewStaff_ui.setupUi(ViewStaff)
    MenuPage = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    MenuPage_ui = Ui_MenuPage()
    MenuPage_ui.setupUi(MenuPage)
    OrderManagement = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    OrderManagement_ui = Ui_OrderManagement()
    OrderManagement_ui.setupUi(OrderManagement)
    Login = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    Login_ui = Ui_Login()
    Login_ui.setupUi(Login)
    Login.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

But in this code segment only the Login page is set to be shown

         self.window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
         self.ui = Ui_ViewStaff()
         self.ui.setupUi(self.window)
         self.window.show()
         Login.hide()```
and this is what happens when a button is clicked on the login page, it hides the login page and moves on to the ViewStaff page

        ```py
        self.window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
        self.ui = Ui_Login()
        self.ui.setupUi(self.window)
        self.window.show()
        ViewStaff.hide()```
and this is what happens when a button is clicked on the ViewStaff page, it opens up the login page again
but this time the ViewStaff page does not get hidden

PyQt

interesting

[worthy ridge]

@digital rose if u can explain ur problem more vividly i can give u a better approach because by my knowledge its not proper

[digital rose]

That's alright, I figured it out in the end, I was basically just creating Main windows of the different classes that I had in the program in the classes themselves with self.window= QMainWindow and etc

so they weren't getting hidden because the lines of code to hide them would have to be something like self.self.window.hide()

So I changed it all the format FirstWindow.show(), secondwindow.hide()

[digital rose]

since they were all defined here

[digital rose]

This would look like py Login.show() ViewStaff.hide()

[worthy ridge]

https://github.com/UGLYclown999/Apollo/blob/master/apollo/app/apollo_TabBindings.py i dont do that i use just a single class to bind all the windows together and i avoide creating a lot of main windows

[digital rose]

for example

Yeah that's probably a better approach

but I'm already way too into this way of doing it to restructure everything

fortunately I found a way to make it all work out so it's all good

Hello people, I'm adapting my script to use a PYQT interface. What's the really best way to use threading to separate interface and code?

        self.duels_button.configure(state=DISABLED)

        self.timer_button.configure(state=NORMAL)

        self.conn_attempt = Label(self.app, text = 'Attempting to connect to the server...', fg='white', bg = self.window_background, font=('Oversized Mono Light', 18, 'bold'))
        self.conn_attempt.place(x = 650, y = 250)

        #Set up connection to server

        time.sleep(15)

            self.show_alertbox('servererr')

[lime monolith]

time.sleep(15)```
blocks the GUI loop from updating anything, just remove it.

[versed vessel]

Ok

Still only shows after the error message is shown

[lime monolith]

The error message is only being called in the exception, which means your try is raising an exception, by using a except without a particular exception it can fail for any reason and will give no indication of what it failed on.

[versed vessel]

Ok ok so I should only show the alert box if the exception is related that it couldn’t connect to the server

[lime monolith]

The connecting is probably also blocking the GUI loop so would have to be done in a separate thread.
https://python-forum.io/thread-17843.html

[lime monolith]

rather than using

except:```
check for the particular exception you are expecting to happen
```py
except YourError:```
or
```py
except Exception as exception:```
and output the exception in the error message

Hi! I'm working on a tkinter start up screen, and I would like one button to be green and say start, and one to be red and say quit
I have the red one working but how do I create green one as well?

import time
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
# Create Root Object
root = Tk()

# Root Title
root.title("Soap - RPG")

# Set Geometry(widthXheight)
root.geometry('85x75')

# Create style Object
style = Style()

# Will add style to every available button
# even though we are not passing style
# to every button widget.
style.configure('TButton', font =
               ('calibri', 10, 'bold', 'underline'),
                foreground = 'red')

def start_button():

def quit_button():

myButton = Button(root, text="Start", style = 'TButton', command = start_button)
myButton.grid(row=3, column=2)

myButton2 = Button(root, text="Quit", command = quit_button)
myButton2.grid(row=3, column=1)

text = Label(root, text="         Soap RPG\n\nRAM9-Copyright 2021")

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.

[tawdry mulch]

ya well, using pyinstaller does that

[versed vessel]

Yeah, my app has to live with that lol

[tawdry mulch]

Get a digital signature 😛

[versed vessel]

Do I have to pay for that?

[tawdry mulch]

Well obviously 😂

[versed vessel]

Lol, imma do it if I ever get some money from the app

Right now I need to order the code

I feel like there are a lot of functions everywhere

[tawdry mulch]

Anyway I have not thought about this. I will be making a cube timer soon too

First I have to get sub 30 :p

[versed vessel]

Cool

I’m sub 30 :p my pb is 25.15

[tawdry mulch]

Noice, my pb is prolly 30 or something but average would be approx 40. But this was like 6 years before, I don't cube now

Fine, wbu

[digital rose]

pb 9.8 🙂

[tawdry mulch]

Well I have GAN too, or had. I really forget how to do some :p

[versed vessel]

Sheeeshh

[versed vessel]

I used to average 40, but I haven't been cubing and now I'm at 1m

[tawdry mulch]

I feel like I couldve got sub 10, but then I lost all interest and went into magic 😛

[digital rose]

printing text in the center is pretty easy, you can use .center() with a string and run the code in the terminal.

#this string will be shifted a bit to the right hand side of the terminal.
print('hello world!'.center(40))

@icy hare

[versed vessel]

Yeah same, now im interested in the timer 😂

Basically I'm making it to solve some problems i had with other timers

[tawdry mulch]

Find the max character that can be inputted too and then divide it by 2?

[tawdry mulch]

which is..

[digital rose]

@icy hare if you want further organization of text in the terminal, possibly make a UI out of it:
http://urwid.org/
There are some examples in the right hand side.

[versed vessel]

I couldn't have my times on every device, so I'll add an option to automatically sync your times with G Drive

And the feature of creating and joining rooms

[tawdry mulch]

Hah I see, good luck

[versed vessel]

Thanks

[digital rose]

you can treat that text as a multi line string and then use .center(int) on it.

[versed vessel]

My question is, a Tkinter app normally looks like this (https://github.com/MrFellox/flimsy-timer/blob/main/flimsy-timer/app.py) with a lot of functions spread out or it is me that I can't slice my code

[tawdry mulch]

There are alot of source codes that you can take a look at and find out how 'organized' your code is. Those methods can be accessed outside too

If you want to see unorganized code https://github.com/nihaalnz all of my projs are prolly unorganized

[versed vessel]

Alright, thanks!

I wrote a small GUI in tkinter and mainly used the .place() function. Then I read on Stackoverflow in some comment, that this is not recommended due to strange behaviour on other machines. Is this true? Should I change this?

[terse path]

i mean tkinter in general has strange behavior on other machines

its more of a rapid prototyping

use qtdesigner if you want something that looks professional and you can be guaranteed itll look the same from one machine to the next

[golden terrace]

Oh, thanks. Never heard of this tool! :)
I made the GUI only with the code, which was a real pain on some points. ^^

[terse path]

you can do that in qt if you prefer as well. qtdesigner is a gui based gui design program.

both will end up giving you the code based output

Hi

I have a tkinter question

I want to have a button that root.destroys the window that is currently open

and open a new window. How would I do that? In a def(): function?

Thnks

[fair igloo]

no

[lime monolith]

If you destroy the root, that is the main window, once that is destroyed the GUI mainloop will end.

[lime monolith]

If you have a TopLevel window that root is not its parent, you can destroy that and open another without the main loop stopping .

import tkinter as tk


class Frame(tk.Toplevel):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        button = tk.Button(self, text='Destroy', command=self.on_button)
        button.pack()

    def on_button(self):
        self.destroy()
        Frame()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = tk.Tk()
    Frame()
    app.lower()
    app.mainloop()```

Hello, i have a question, what is the difference between pyqt5 and pyqt6? If they both are same, which one is better?

[modern marsh]

pyqt6 has new features but the Qt6 API is not fully implemented yet in pyqt6

so for now pyqt5 would be the one to go for

though you can easily switch later on

[paper torrent]

Hi there, I was wondering how I could make it so that my label in tkinter stays in the middle top of the window even after I change the window size using my mouse? All the labels are using .grid btw

code:

#Imports
from tkinter import *
from tkmacosx import Button

#Root
root = Tk()
root.geometry("700x700")

#Labels
myLabel1= Label(root, text="Hello World!")
myLabel2 = Label(root, text="My Name Is TELEMETRY LINGO!")
myLabel1.grid(row=0, column=0)
myLabel2.grid(row=1, column=0)

#MainLoop For Tkinter
root.mainloop()

[lime monolith]

You could have a frame that sits on the root window that is packed with anchor set to N which will keep it at the top centre,
the labels then have the frame as their parent see the following modified example of your code.

# Imports
import tkinter as tk

# Root
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("700x700")

# Frame
frame = tk.Frame(root)
frame.pack(anchor=tk.N)

# Labels
myLabel1 = tk.Label(frame, text="Hello World!")
myLabel2 = tk.Label(frame, text="My Name Is TELEMETRY LINGO!")
myLabel1.grid(row=0, column=0)
myLabel2.grid(row=1, column=0)

# MainLoop For Tkinter
root.mainloop()```

You can use the paste service.

!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.

[digital rose]

the simplest way however is to not re create the label everytime, but to use .config().
look at this example:

my_label.config(text = 'new text')

[ivory ember]

do you mean just making the font larger?

[frozen dagger]

yes

im new, im sorry if its a nooby question

😐

[ivory ember]

its fine

you need to create a QFont obj

like so

[frozen dagger]

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow

import sys

import time


def window():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = QMainWindow()
    win.setGeometry(100, 100, 500, 500)
    win.setWindowTitle("Radrider")

    label = QtWidgets.QLabel(win)
    label.setText("Hello")
    label.move(0, 0)

    label2 = QtWidgets.QLabel(win) # Working
    

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


window()

this is the code so far

[ivory ember]

label = qtw.QLabel()
label_font = qtg.QFont("Arial", 12, qtg.QFont.Normal, False)
label.setFont(label_font)

[frozen dagger]

So i need to make "Label"'s size bigger

[ivory ember]

args are as such: <font family/name>, <pointsize>, <style>, <is italic>

[frozen dagger]

i wanna visualize a SQLite database in a PySimpleGUI window

anyone know if i can do this with a table element?

or i have to use other element?

[ivory ember]

self.<video_slider>.sliderMoved.connect(lambda: self.<timeline_widget>.set_pos)
self.<timeline_widget>.<signal here>.connect(self.<video_slider>.setSliderPosition)

would something like that work?

[stable folio]

I have a problem with that. Because I have the main window, it adds to the video widget and the timeline widget.

[eager beacon]

what do you mean?

Do both of the sliders have the same minimum and maximum value, or does the timeline slider have the ability to start at an imaginary negative frame?

If you are allowing a negative offset and the sliders have different widths, you will need to create some sort of positionToValue and ValueToPosition methods that translate the the timeline slider position to the video player slider position and vice versa.

I can’t save it into an image file btw.

I'm thinking of treelib, but I want to see if there are any other, better options to display a tree graph in a PySimpleGUI program.

[digital rose]

you could try this approach, though im not entirely sure about its working.

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import font

root = Tk()
# TkDefaultFont instance.
default = font.nametofont('TkDefaultFont')

# overriding the already created tkinter defaults with your own font.
default.config(family = 'DejaVu Sans Mono', size = 14, weight = 'italic')

root.mainloop()

[polar wave]

it doesn't quite work with the fontchooser dialog, as it returns a str, like {Arial Narrow} 24 bold italic

[digital rose]

ah i see. i didnt read the fontchooser part in your question, my bad.

[polar wave]

it's fine 🙂

[digital rose]

@polar wave are you using tkfontchooser?

[polar wave]

yes

[digital rose]

this one? https://pypi.org/project/tkfontchooser/

[polar wave]

also, weight italic doesn't work in config, what is it's replacement???

[polar wave]

wait no, i meant the discontinued one in the tkinter module.

that's why it needed to be called using call()

[digital rose]

i would recommend using tkfontchooser, its well documented and easier to work with.

it has a built in dialog called askfont().

[polar wave]

i actually tried using it bot it doesn't show the font in the dialog. this was tkinter's take on it which for me is better

this is tkfontchooser's

[digital rose]

yes, so whats wrong with using it?

both of them look almost entirely same, so.

[polar wave]

it's just my preference, sorry.

[digital rose]

@polar wave i managed to get this working. now from {Arial Narrow} 24 bold italic you get this:
Arial Narrow, 24, bold, italic separately:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

root = Tk()

def font_changed(font):
    size = int(''.join(i for i in font if i.isdigit())) # get size by iterating over the string.

    family_idx = font.index(str(size))

    font = font.replace(str(size), '') # remove the size from font string.

    # remove curly braces.
    font = ''.join(i for i in font if i not in ('{', '}'))

    font_family = font[:family_idx-1]

    font = font.replace(font_family, '')

    attributes = font.split()

    print(attributes, size, font_family)

root.tk.call('tk', 'fontchooser', 'configure', '-font', 'helvetica 24', '-command', root.register(font_changed))
root.tk.call('tk', 'fontchooser', 'show')

root.mainloop()

the font_changed function is where i did most of the work. i just kept on iterating over the font string returned by the dialog, and it basically filters out the font family, the font's attributes, and its size separately, namely in these three variables:
attributes, size, font_family.

[polar wave]

ok, thank you! how do you put italic to weight tho?

@digital rose this returns

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:/Users/it-admin/Documents/Python/tkinttest/main.py", line 6, in <module>
    italic = Font(family='Ubuntu Mono', weight='italic')

    tk.call("font", "create", self.name, *font)
_tkinter.TclError: bad -weight value "italic": must be normal, or bold
PS C:\Users\it-admin\Documents\Python>```

[digital rose]

oh, my bad again. do this instead:

font_ = font.Font(family = 'Fira Code', slant = 'italic')

weight has only two options :bold, or normal.

@polar wave

[polar wave]

oh, ok!

[digital rose]

and one thing, that was a question too, was setting a font as default?
now you can apply this approach to the code i linked here

[polar wave]

ok!

what about overstrike and underline, how would i add this to the font class?

[digital rose]

here, set overstrike = 1 and underline=1.

font_ = Font(family = '10x20-ISO8859-1', overstrike = 1, underline = 1)

[polar wave]

oh ok!

[digital rose]

if you dont wont overstruck text, or non - underlined text, set them to 0.

[polar wave]

so just True or False?

[digital rose]

yes.

[polar wave]

it worked! thanks so much!

[digital rose]

no worries. 😄

hey user-interfaces people i have workaround for wakeup application

have you got some another idea how to do that?

import tkinter as tk

[worthy ridge]

y u keep calling ur application again and again

in the while loop if u can explain the code i can help

[sleek grotto]

those loops take to much from CPU and fan is start to work louder

so i'm looking for another idea how to start gui from binded button

[worthy ridge]

@sleek grotto idk about tkinter

[sleek grotto]

does this question fall into the category: difficult questions :D?

[worthy ridge]

no i work in Qt and in Qt u can launch multiple main windows and dont need an seperate thread creation for it

[sleek grotto]

yeah but in this app is only one window

i don't need multiple windowed mode

anyway in tkinter we can do the same thinks i think 🤨

or not

[worthy ridge]

no exp with tkinter so i cant say

[narrow nebula]

i have this wierd issues. Py complains that the Label Pictresult does not have an attribute show. but if i remove it .show() my GUI doesnt display the image even though i have been told i dont need to use .show

[digital rose]

As it says, Labels do not have any attribute show(), there is some other issue that causes this, maybe some more code can help.

!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.

[narrow nebula]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/tafuhevane.yaml its line 115-127. The show shouldnt be needed it was just a relic when i used to open the image in windows image

[digital rose]

remove t.show(). t is just an array, it does not have a show attribute either.

[lime monolith]

Try keeping a reference to img so it is not garbage collected

img = PhotoImage(file= picturestr)
Pictresult = Label(root, image = img)
Pictresult.grid(row = 7, column = 7, padx=5,pady=5)
Pictresult.img = img```

[narrow nebula]

ok that fixed it, but what happened?

[lime monolith]

img is a local variable to the function get_selected_value so when the function was complete img was garbage collected, by keeping a reference to it on the Label it stops that happening.

[narrow nebula]

and when i had my faulty .show command it kept the function from garbage collecting my variable ?

[lime monolith]

when you had .show you would be getting an error stopping the function in its tracks.

[narrow nebula]

alright thanks learned something new ❤️

[brazen estuary]

whoops, think I posted my question in the wrong channel so I'll ask here instead

Best GUI framework for someone coming from a webdev background?
or are they all equally very different from frontend webdev

more details: currently using py rich and have a beautiful CLI, but I admit defeat from the limits of running a semi-complex program from a CLI so I will most likely need to find a framework suited for GUIs

[digital rose]

@brazen estuary python is not the best programming language for building a production - suited GUI. it cannot compete with what other frameworks in other languages, (most notably JavaScript or C#) can do. Still, the most prominent are PyQT5 and Tkinter. You can try either of them. (Even though tkinter has a reputation for looking old - fashioned, there are many ways to make it look better).

[brazen estuary]

hmm, thanks. that's what I suspected. wanted to double check before diving in. which brings up a great idea for a new framework... web-based GUI for python... powered by a localhosted api?

would that even be possible?

so many great CSS + JS frameworks... obviously not all functions would work

[young sedge]

tbh, doubtfully

or may be it is possible, I don't know. The problem is...

Front end frameworks require client side operations

[brazen estuary]

but functions like showing data would definitely be possible

[young sedge]

to which only Javascript is ok (or Typescript)
I know nothing capable to do the same in Python

[brazen estuary]

hm

[lime monolith]

There is also WxPython to try

[young sedge]

oh wait a second

are you wishing Desktop Application?

or Web site?

I answered from position of web dev

[brazen estuary]

something like tailwinds < local api < python for a locally hosted software would be awesome

desktop

[young sedge]

I think it should not be a problem then

quite possible

never heard of tailwinds though

[brazen estuary]

right, probably not the most efficient, but i dont see why it wouldnt work and im surprsied theres no major projects yet

[digital rose]

desktop GUIs is not a problem. especially if it is not for deployment.

[brazen estuary]

its like... the new trending bootstrap

just a CSS framework

compiled w/ nodejs

[brazen estuary]

it's for deployment for paying subscribers

will eventually incorporate licensing and code obfuscation

tailwinds could cut GUI development time insanely if there was some unified API for devs

[digital rose]

i see. what are you trying to build then? it depends on what the purpose is, because with python you will have to take a ton of things into consideration, especially performance, which is a key aspect.

[brazen estuary]

performance, not too demanding. security and privacy, important. the users will not be sending data to the internet

receiving data, maybe for updates

but the api (if made) would be totally local

the API would be generated with data fed from another program that they are already using

its to optimize that program

[digital rose]

you could still experiment with either of these - Tkinter, PyQt, or WxWidgets, though there will a be a limit to performance, and that limit could be very small.

[brazen estuary]

that's probably what i'll end up doing, thanks for the input guys!

but im always going to keep in the back of my mind that a web-based gui framework for python is an interesting concept and something maybe worth pursuing

its time to make python sexy

;p

[brazen estuary]

taking a look now 👍

[digital rose]

i dont know what type of web based GUI you will be trying to make, though pywebview is a library that allows you to display HTML in a native gui window, it might be helpful!

[brazen estuary]

something that could be used by frameworks like Electron I guess

backend completely python, frontend web-based

or web technologies based*

[lime monolith]

There is also PySimpleGui and others that wrap the GUI frameworks and also wraps remi that you could try

[brazen estuary]

cool, I'll take a look at that as well.

I just remember using Tkinter 10 years ago in college and shuddering at the GUI

[digital rose]

you're not alone :p

[brazen estuary]

then here and there I see some really nicely done apps/software made solely with python and i always wonder if some new frameworks out there that I dont know about hahah

[digital rose]

even though there's a lot of ways to make tkinter look better, namely themed widgets.

[brazen estuary]

right, I think I saw some repos with premade themes to use

that should probably help

but from what I remember even those were pretty ugly 🤣

it's probably a bit too "over" to spin up a web server just to use a web-based python gui huh

[digital rose]

you're not entirely correct, have a look at this one (that's probably the only that could be used for production)

[brazen estuary]

oOoOoo that is clean

[digital rose]

even though it seems like regular Microsoft - styled UI.

[brazen estuary]

well it doesnt look like its from 1995

like the default

...

[digital rose]

yes, it's a new tkinter theme.

https://github.com/rdbende/Azure-ttk-theme

its great that you can write entire files with Tcl, and tell tkinter to use them for UI.

[brazen estuary]

damn I'm gonna miss my ascii art in my cli as the header

its sexy in a cool, techy way

hahahah if you know what I mean

I dunno why I like CLIs so much

guess it makes me feel cooler 🤷‍♂️

probably a hassle for clients though

[digital rose]

yes, no one really prefers CLI for an app you're supposed to be using on a regular basis, hard to imagine running discord from a terminal 😆

even though, it's a lot of fun to make them.

[brazen estuary]

it'd mostly be running in the background, but yeah hahah time to ditch that dream

anyways, back to work. thanks guys 👍

appreciate it!

back already 👋 🤣 just took a quick look at .tcl -- maybe the framework im looking for is not a framework for web-based GUIs for python, but rather a framework for converting HTML/CSS into .tcl /other existing gui frameworks themes

makes way more sense

way less headache as well

I was surprised to see so many custom images being used for the templating

it's very easy to write a script that takes each CSS element on a page, have the script take a screenshot of that element/div/section/whatever and recompile it into a big image

reminds me of pre-bootstrap, pre-css days when we used tables with dreamweaver

now this really has me thinking...

anyone want to criticize the idea before I actually consider starting this project?

I love to be shot down, cause then I dont waste time..

so please feel free to call me an idiot if there's something on your mind hahaha

maybe this would be better suited as question for the subreddit huh

sorry for the spammy talking-to-myself rant, but I think I found what I was looking for: https://github.com/ChrisKnott/Eel

[north stump]

Hello, i'm new here, ive read the discussion and it reminds me: https://github.com/wang0618/PyWebIO

[brazen estuary]

that looks great, I'm definitely going to take a look. I knew there had to be something out there!

this is why I love the reddit community~

hm, looks like its heavily flask inspired, which is something I'm sort of familiar with

support for pyinstaller, great. Alright, looks like I'll be doing some research on Eel and PyWebIO tonight.

later guys~

I'm using PyQt5 and trying to have a gif in my label to change to a different gif on a button click.

But for some reason it doesn't work.

Here's the code I have so far:

              "confident": "C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/Trucy_Confident_Speak1.gif"}

class Main_Window (QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.title = "Dice Game"
        self.left = 10
        self.top = 30
        self.width = 420
        self.height = 540
        self.label = QLabel(self)
        self.button_1()
        self.mw_attributes()
        self.screen()
        self.textbox()
        self.show()
        
    def mw_attributes(self):
        self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
        self.setGeometry(self.left,self.top,self.width,self.height)
        self.pixmap = QPixmap("C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/ivc.png")
        self.label.setPixmap(self.pixmap)
        self.label.resize(self.pixmap.width(),self.pixmap.height())```

    def button_1(self):
        pybutton = QPushButton(self)
        pybutton.clicked.connect(self.button_click)
        pybutton.resize(111,53)
        pybutton.move(160, 480)
        pybutton.setStyleSheet("QPushButton"
                               "{"
                               "background:transparent;""background-image : url(C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/ivcbutton.png);"
                               "}"
                               "QPushButton:hover"
                               "{"
                               "background:transparent;""background-image : url(C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/ivcbuttonhover.png);"
                               "}"
                               "QPushButton:pressed"
                               "{"
                               "background:transparent;""background-image : url(C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/ivcbuttonpressed1.png);"
                               "}")  
    
    def button_click(self):
        score = randint(1,6) + randint(1,6)
        self.gif_background.movie = QMovie(animations["confident"])
        self.text.setText(f"The roll is {score}.")
        
    def screen(self):
        self.gif_background = QLabel(self)    
        self.gif_background.setGeometry(40, 60, 107, 100)
        self.gif_background.setStyleSheet("background-image : url(C:/Users/nomar/Dropbox/Blueprints/Background.jpg);")
        self.gif_background.movie = QMovie(animations["normal"])
        self.gif_background.setMovie(self.gif_background.movie)
        self.gif_background.movie.start()
        ```

Well a snippet of the code at least.

[worthy ridge]

@stable folio style sheet

[coarse mirage]

I thought: def button_click(self): score = randint(1,6) + randint(1,6) self.gif_background.movie = QMovie(animations["confident"]) self.text.setText(f"The roll is {score}.")

specifically self.gif_background.movie = QMovie(animations["confident"]) would change it but I guess not.

[digital rose]

Learn Tcl, for tkinter atleast.

I believe you have to create widget defaults in a Tcl file that you are calling in the tkinter file, and also create images for different widget states, though I'm not sure how to integrate them into the theme.

Oh

[edgy kestrel]

Linking to help channel, about manipulating windows GUIs #help-cake message

Probably more knowledgeable people here

[shrewd cradle]

@edgy kestrel You could try checking the class name with win32.GetClassName on the hwnd, that might be more consistent, not 100% sure though.

[edgy kestrel]

Oh rite, i tried it when i was playing around how the module works but disregarded it as i didnt see any use for it

It should be pretty good for this case though

Implemented it and seems to work really well

[shrewd cradle]

you could also look into something along these lines which could give you the executable path of the process https://stackoverflow.com/a/42607775

That would probably be better than class name, as i'd reckon quite some processes might share the same class name

[unique forge]

thats not how you're supposed to do it

either you set that as a background-image

or you link a qss file

take a look at https://kivymd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/button/index.html#mdfillroundflaticonbutton

if you're using kivy exclusively, you can also use the kivymd source code

Oh Okey thank you very much

why do people use classes on tkinter

[worthy ridge]

@digital rose because UI is designed in layers adn for testing dependency independence is good

[digital rose]

Oh so what is better? using classes or no

[worthy ridge]

Always class

[digital rose]

classes fit in perfectly for creating neat and structured code. it is always better to use classes, not just for tkinter, but for most programs which have a lot of lines of code.

Oh I see
