user-interfaces

[queen mist]

i made the "canvas"

under function "def lvlOne()"

[queen mist]

.

anyone ?

[hybrid spindle]

so where do you define canvas? You set global canvas...but is that what you're considering as defining it?

class SavePage(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self,parentvals,parent=None):
        super(SavePage, self).__init__(parent)
        self.resize(700,400)
        
        def ontable(self,parentvals,Table_e):
            savefile = self.tableline.text()
            ascii.write(Table_e,savefile,overwrite=True)
            #how to display to user it has been saved?
            saved = QLabel('SAVED',self)
            saved.setGeometry(10,200,50,30)

        #table save
        #create Table_e
        tablelabel = QLabel("Enter path and filename: (e.g. pathname\Table.dat)",self)
        tablelabel.setGeometry(100,175,400,30)
        
        self.tableline = QLineEdit(self)
        self.tableline.setText("Spectrum_Analysis_z_"+str(parentvals.z)+"_Measurement_Table.dat")
        self.tableline.setGeometry(100,200,300,30)
        
        tablesave = QPushButton("Save Table",self)
        tablesave.setGeometry(410,200,200,30)
        tablesave.clicked.connect(lambda: ontable(self,parentvals,Table_e))

So I was just trying to set a confirmation to user to let them know the file saved. Have the two lines under "ontable"....saved=QLabel, saved.setGeom
How come it won't put the label on the page?

[ivory ember]

do you have a layout?

[queen mist]

ive done that in every function

[jolly mesa]

I have a qt-question in #help-bagel

[hybrid spindle]

Nah, didn't think it was necessary. Just populating the frame

[hybrid spindle]

yeah. Im just saying I don't see where you actually define the canvas so im not sure what to tell ya

[queen mist]

Whats the best way of making a maze game

with multiple levels?

[ivory ember]

maybe try adding one?, don't see anything wrong with your code

[hybrid spindle]

I just set the buttons color to green when saved. good enough for me

[coarse mirage]

I'm trying to have a brief time delay in displaying text in a label. Like have it run the first text before moving on to the next, but when I do a wait event it pauses in the beginning of the function (button click) and then goes straight to the end.

        score_cpu = randint(1,6) + randint(1,6)
        score_player = randint(1,6) + randint(1,6)
        self.gif_background.movie = QMovie(animations["confident"])
        self.gif_background.setMovie(self.gif_background.movie)
        self.gif_background.movie.start()
        self.text.setText(f"The opponent's roll is {score_cpu}.")
        Event().wait(3)
        self.text.setText(f"Your roll is {score_player}.")```

[digital rose]

        self.Enter_ChosenFile.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: self.GoTo1stEntry)

Did I type it rightly?

    def GoTo1stEntry(self):
        print("This works")
        self.canvas.create_image(0, 0, image = Highlight_Rectangle_Fresh, anchor = NW)

When I left click (button-1) in the entry box "Enter_ChosenFile" it does not print "This works"

[worthy ridge]

@hybrid spindle ucan use the status bar

[digital rose]

@digital rose you forgot parentheses there:

self.Enter_ChosenFile.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: self.GoTo1stEntry())

it is self.GoTo1stEntry(), not self.GoTo1stEntry.

Is it a good idea to make a script that makes the front end while the main script is the logic?

[tawdry mulch]

you mean two files?

[versed vessel]

Yeah

[tawdry mulch]

Its not bad

[versed vessel]

So all the code that makes the GUI here: https://github.com/MrFellox/flimsy-timer/blob/main/flimsy-timer/app.py

Is on another file and the code of the logic stays there

The thing is i don't know how to do it

My bad, wrong link

[tawdry mulch]

You realize you can get screen size without GetSystemMetrics right?

[versed vessel]

Instantly with Tkinter If I’m not wrong

[tawdry mulch]

Yes? @versed vessel

[versed vessel]

Well i don't remember really

[tawdry mulch]

root.winfo_screenwidth() and so on

[versed vessel]

Alright alright

Thanks

[digital rose]

It's actually the only good way to handle code.

Just throw in classes there.

[quiet timber]

is qt design studio 1.2 good?

[tight vine]

Yeah for begginers 🙂

You could try what they did in this stack overflow post:

So, What I did is I added an extra parameter --debug in the pyinstaller command and removing the --windowed parameter so that I can see what is actually happening when the app is clicked and I found out there was an error which made a lot of sense when I trace it, it basically complained that "some_image.jpg" no such file or directory.

[cursive sentinel]

hello i wanna create gui for my bots that i use for games and webscraping

which gui u recomend?

[unique forge]

PyQt

but if you want a dashboard

[cursive sentinel]

what u think about pysimplegui?

[unique forge]

I'd recommend HTMl, CSS, and Flask

[unique forge]

its okay, but isnt very widely used

[cursive sentinel]

most guides i gonna find for pyqt?

[unique forge]

yes

and tkinter

but tkinter is old

[cursive sentinel]

newest pyqt is pyqt6?

also i download pyqt6 but i cannot find designer app

[fading basin]

OK, I have written a program to calculate the satistics for a frequence table, the problem is that the output for the mode is wrong and I have double checked the logic and it is completely fine so it has got to be the print statement for the application window . Here is the statement it prints for the mode: <function btn_clicked.<locals>.most_common at 0x05450100> and you have to enter the values to gets this output. I don't know what I am doing wrong, here is the program :https://paste.pythondiscord.com/orupemajoh.py. (The problem is incountered form line 169 to 174.)

[queen mist]

How can i get my image.gif to be animated?

does it make sence?

[lime monolith]

It looks like its because the function most_common has not been called in

def new_func2(most_common, b):
    ModeOutput=QLabel(qwidget)
    ModeOutput.setText("Mode is,{}".format(most_common,b))
    ModeOutput.move(32,176)
    ModeOutput.adjustSize()
    ModeOutput.show()```
so it is setting the text as the string representation of the function.
try adding () to make it call the function
```py
ModeOutput.setText("Mode is,{}".format(most_common(),b))```

[fading basin]

It shows the error most_common() missing 1 required positional argument: 'b'

[lime monolith]

I see now that most_common expected to be passed in b
change it to

ModeOutput.setText("Mode is,{}".format(most_common(b)))```

[fading basin]

Thank You, it is really appreciated. @lime monolith

[queen mist]

help with this pls?

[lime monolith]

Hi @queen mist , where is your gif image to be animated, what framework?

[queen mist]

Python TKinter

[lime monolith]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28518072/play-animations-in-gif-with-tkinter

[queen mist]

tried it but its not working in my code

u see

[lime monolith]

The error says there is no image data at index 2 in your gif

[queen mist]

these are the gifs im using

so ??

@lime monolith even that example doesn't work

[lime monolith]

This is working for me with your sonic gif

import tkinter as tk


class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.label = tk.Label(self)
        self.label.pack(padx=10, pady=10)
        self.frame_index = 0
        self.update()

    def update(self):
        self.image = tk.PhotoImage(
            file='sonic.gif', format=f'gif -index {self.frame_index}')
        self.label.config(image=self.image)
        self.frame_index += 1
        if self.frame_index == 10:
            self.frame_index = 0
        self.after(100, self.update)


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

[queen mist]

i really need to learn to use classes 😦

[uneven kite]

Hi everyone. How can I add queue to a QThreadPool in a for loop and wait before continuing?

[queen mist]

this works but, how can it work outside the class?

[lime monolith]

Apply the same logic i used in your non class code

[queen mist]

#sonic = PhotoImage(file="sonic.gif")#, format="gif -index 2")
coconut = PhotoImage(file="coco.gif")#,format="gif -index 2")
portal = PhotoImage(file = "portal.gif")#,format="gif -index 2")
#door = PhotoImage(file = "door.gif")

frame_index = 0
sonic = PhotoImage(
    file='sonic.gif', format=f'gif -index {frame_index}')
frame_index += 1
if frame_index == 10:
    frame_index = 0
canvas.after(100)

need that into a loop but i need rest of the code running at the same time

[balmy ferry]

Hello everyone, please could somebody take a look at this code and explain to me why the on_exit function does not fire when left clicking the system tray icon: https://pastebin.com/j7MBzjSn

[queen mist]

so how can i make this code run concurrently with rest of the code

[lime monolith]

I made a GifLabel class for you use it in place of a normal tk.Label for each of your gif's

import tkinter as tk


class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.label = GifLabel('sonic.gif', 10, 100, self)
        self.label.pack(padx=10, pady=10)


class GifLabel(tk.Label):
    def __init__(self, gif_path, no_frames, update_ms, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.frame_index = 0
        self.update_ms = update_ms
        self.gif_path = gif_path
        self.no_frames = no_frames
        self.update()

    def update(self):
        self.image = tk.PhotoImage(
            file=self.gif_path, format=f'gif -index {self.frame_index}')
        self.config(image=self.image)
        self.frame_index += 1
        if self.frame_index == self.no_frames:
            self.frame_index = 0
        self.after(self.update_ms, self.update)


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

[queen mist]

i imported tkinter like

from tkinter import *

[lime monolith]

that pollutes your namespace

[queen mist]

so its better to write as import tkinter as tk?

[lime monolith]

defiantly
https://python-forum.io/thread-4.html

[queen mist]

ok thank you another bad habit that i need to break xD

i will defo try to use import tkinter as tk moving forward, but with this project im gonna finish it as it is, cause otherwise ima have to go through 300 lines of code xD

[lime monolith]

All your gifs working together 😀

Thank you soo much!

[novel lagoon]

Is there anyway I can put an entry box right next to a text label?

[digital rose]

hi I'm haze and someone told me to come here

so what is this server about

[novel lagoon]

for example: E x + E

• E is the Entry box*

[fiery badge]

u guys has any tips for someone who want start learning about modern user-interfaces?

[digital rose]

You can use grid() to render a label next to an entry widget:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
l=tk.Label(root, text='->')
l.grid(row=1, column=1)

e = tk.Entry(root)
e.grid(row=1, column=2)

root.mainloop()

[digital rose]

Start by learning a programming language. If it's python then you can begin learning libraries like Tkinter, PyQt5, or WxPython (which are the most used libraries in python.)

[lime monolith]

You can also use pack with side=tk.LEFT

import tkinter as tk


class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        label = tk.Label(self, text='Text')
        label.pack(side=tk.LEFT, padx=10, pady=10)
        self.text = tk.Entry(self)
        self.text.pack(side=tk.LEFT, padx=10, pady=10)


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

[fiery badge]

the Tkinter and the WxPython GUI looks so old, but u know if the PyQt5 are only paid?

[lime monolith]

tkinter can use ttk widgets to look a bit more modern, wxpython uses the operating systems native widgets so is as modern as the operating system is and unlike pyqt its open source and free to use, yes pyqt requires a licence for commercial use.

PyGTK, PyQt, PySide2, and wxPython, all have a modern look and feel and more widgets than Tkinter. In addition, there are many other GUI toolkits for Python, both cross-platform, and platform-specific. See the GUI Programming page in the Python Wiki for a much more complete list, and also for links to documents where the different GUI toolkits are compared.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/othergui.html

[modern marsh]

PySide 2 doesn't

Use Pyside2

Instead of PyQt5

[winter tree]

rngat = Entry(window,width=5)
rngat.grid(column=1,row =0)
fnt = Entry(window,width=10)
fnt.grid(column=1,row =1)
rordt = Entry(window,width=10)
rordt.grid(column=1,row =2)
L1 = Label(window,text="Range:", font = ("Arial",15)).grid(column = 0,row = 0)
L2 = Label(window,text="Function:", font = ("Arial",15)).grid(column = 0,row = 1)
L3 = Label(window,text="Radians or Degrees:", font = ("Arial",15)).grid(column = 0,row = 2)

how do i make it so the rngat is a bit twards left

with the same starting point as the fnt entry

[loud summit]

How do i manage the geometry in this context? using tkinter.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 48, in <module>

there is the initial code. https://dpaste.org/wKgs

[lime monolith]

Change to the following line by adding sticky

rngat.grid(column=1,row =0, sticky=tk.W)```

[loud summit]

ok

[lime monolith]

Create separate tk.frame's one to contain the packed widgets another to contain the grid widgets.

[loud summit]

all right, let me work on it

[winter tree]

whats the role of sticky here

[lime monolith]

The following shows a frame with grided widgets that is packed onto root.
#user-interfaces message

[loud summit]

well, i thought tkinter could be that easier but these trivial concepts kept knocking me off,

[lime monolith]

sticky can be set to N (north), S, E or W it makes the widget stick to that side of the space in the grid it occupy's.

[winter tree]

oh

i see thats helpful

_tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-sticky"

how do i fix this

wait nvm i accidentally put it in entry parameters

[ivory ember]

.

[trim crown]

I got the constants pref_height, min_height ,max_height and pref_width, min_width ,max_width. I also have a user-supplied aspect-ratio. I want to create a rectangle that maintains the specified ar and is within the bounds of the constants. If this is not possible while maintaining the ar; change the ar just as little as necessary to make the rectangle fit. (Optional: The rectangle always wants to be as close to pref_height and pref_width as possible)

def calc_rect_with_ratio(aspect_ratio):
    width = height = 0
    # Calculate rectangle with specified aspect_ratio.
    # If the {min, max}-limits would be violated, change
    # The aspect ratio as little as possible to make the
    # rectangle fit into the bounds.
    return width, height

Anyone has done something like this already or can point me to a resource?
I realize this is fairly easy with a few ifs and elses but I'm looking for a sophisticated
algorithm.

[versed vessel]

Are there any other libraries for making GUIs with Python?

I know Tkinter, Kivy and PyQt but i don't think that's a library

[lime monolith]

Note: your code would be easier to mange with classes.
if you move the code that adds a directory to the tree into a function , you can then call that function in the get_folder_path event handler

import os
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import filedialog

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('320x240')
root.title("Dir Processor")

tv = ttk.Treeview(f, show='tree')
ybar = tk.Scrollbar(f, orient=tk.VERTICAL,
                    command=tv.yview)
tv.configure(yscroll=ybar.set)



topframe = tk.Frame(root)
topframe.pack(padx=1,pady=1)

dirframe = tk.Frame(root)
dirframe.pack(padx=10,pady=15)

right_frame = tk.Frame(root)
right_frame.pack(padx=10,pady=15)


def get_folder_path():
    directory = filedialog.askdirectory(parent=topframe, initialdir='/home/afidegnum/projects')
    add_directory(directory)


def traverse_dir(parent, path):
    for d in os.listdir(path):
        full_path = os.path.join(path, d)
        isdir = os.path.isdir(full_path)
        id = tv.insert(parent, 'end', text=d, open=False)
        if isdir:
            traverse_dir(id, full_path)


button_explore = tk.Button(topframe,
                           text="Browse Files",
                           command=get_folder_path)

button_exit = tk.Button(topframe,
                        text="Exit",
                        command=exit)

button_explore.grid(column=1, row=2)

button_exit.grid(column=1, row=3)


def add_directory(directory):
    tv.heading('#0', text='Dir：' + directory, anchor='w')
    path = os.path.abspath(directory)

thanks

[lime monolith]

https://python-forum.io/thread-68.html

[loud summit]

@lime monolith Thanks a lot

[versed vessel]

I think imma still use tkinter

[lime monolith]

Yes, use whatever best suits your needs and you like to use.

[modern marsh]

PyQt is very much a library

[versed vessel]

I find wxpython and tkinter very similar

Kivy is kinda similar too, but the widgets and stuff are different

I had the idea to make my app browser-based (like electron that runs a browser) but I see people complaining about electron so i didn't started with that

[modern marsh]

Hmm I don't think tkinter or wxpython is capable of that

Kivy idk

There is pywebview and eel if you want web based GUI's

Eel is like electron

[lime monolith]

WxPython has a lot more widgets available then tkinter , but if you don't need them you can stick with tkinter.

[versed vessel]

Any examples?

[modern marsh]

What sort of GUI do you want

Desktop only?

[versed vessel]

Yeah for now

Kinda like this: https://cstimer.net

[modern marsh]

That's good but it won't be expandable later

You will probably have to choose another framework

For mobile,web etc

[versed vessel]

Yeah im also planning to release a mobile version

But the only thing i know is that you need Java or Kotlin

[lime monolith]

Here's a list of some of the widgets listed in the WxPython demo

[versed vessel]

Holy

[modern marsh]

No

There is Kivy if you want to dev in python

Else, for complete cross platform compatibility, flutter or react native

QML with python too is a choice

[versed vessel]

So i guess if i can compile a py to an exe i can make a py to an apk right?

[modern marsh]

Hmm I don't think that would work

I mean apart from all the compiling stuff layouts also matter

[versed vessel]

Well then I should move the project to Kivy?

[modern marsh]

Your choice

[versed vessel]

is it recommended tho?

[modern marsh]

Sure

Any module is fine

[hoary swift]

there's pywebview if you're ok with some JS and html, and beeware's if you're ok with something that's a bit less mature

[versed vessel]

Alright, I'll check into that

[fading basin]

Ok, I am creating a frequency table to calculate the statistics for that table. I want to adjust the y axisis for the Output\Answers if the current row is greater than 3 but when I run the code a seem to get the error '>' not supported between instances of 'builtin_function_or_method' and 'int' I don't know whats happing , here is the code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/udopomoqej.py (The error is incountered from line 162)

[lime monolith]

try changing line 162 to

if (tableWidget.currentRow() > 3):```
by adding the (), you have a method that has not been called so its trying to compare the method itself rather than the methods return value.
@fading basin

[fading basin]

but now it says that the new_func is not denifined for all variables

[lime monolith]

new_func will only be defined when if (tableWidget.currentRow() > 3): is true

[fading basin]

Thats not the case

[fading basin]

Because when i run the program, and add 4 rows and press calculate button. the program still shows the same error

[fading basin]

No ,since the indientation for line 136 does not match line 163 thats the problem, so how do I resolve this ?

Hey @coarse mirage!

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:

PyQt5 btw

[worthy ridge]

@coarse mirage u can set the button a lambda function so even pressed it doesnt triggrt

[digital rose]

@hollow grove Is the green portion on the screen the canvas? When you're using pack(), tkinter just places the button randomly on the window. If you want the button to be placed at the bottom of the screen, you can add this in pack():

.pack(side='bottom')

[coarse mirage]

I did this but it doesn't work: def button_click(self): lambda: pybutton.setEnabled(False) roll_cpu = randint(1,6) + randint(1,6) roll_player = randint(1,6) + randint(1,6) Main_Window.score_cpu = roll_cpu Main_Window.score_player = roll_player Sprites.confident(self) self.text.setText(f"The opponent's roll is {roll_cpu}.") QTimer.singleShot(2000, lambda: self.text.setText(f"Your roll is {roll_player}.")) QTimer.singleShot(4000, ex.result)

[worthy ridge]

@coarse mirage ```py

[worthy ridge]

so define te button

bound Qt objects to the instance because Qt memory manager destroys non refrerenced objects

[coarse mirage]

Isn't pybutton = QPushButton(self) defining the button in: 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);" "}")

@worthy ridge oh

thanks, I guess what I read was outdated

@worthy ridge in fact I have a QTableView which display an empty dataframe, and When I click on a button I want to add a line and a value in this empty dataframe

do you think insertRow() is the best tool to do so?

[worthy ridge]

use an append

[digital rose]

i dont think you can build a full fledged browser, there are simply too many things to consider. if you simply want to render html in a tkinter window, you can use tkhtmlview: https://pypi.org/project/tkhtmlview/

[modern marsh]

You can in Qt tho if you are interested

[graceful void]

Hey guys, I'm working on two QTableView (PyQt5) the table_input with data, and table_select without data. I want to be able to add the selected item in the table_input to table_select when I click on a pushbutton, but I'm a bit lost to create my method. What I have works only the first time I click and after nothing happens ```py
class MainWindow(qtw.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def init(self):
super().init()
self.setupUi(self)
###Some code
self.selecttButton.clicked.connect(self.select_data)
def select_data(self) :

    if self.table_input.selectionModel().hasSelection():
        row= self.table_input.currentIndex().row()
        new_value=self.table_input.model().index(row,       
                  0).data() #selected item
        nb=self.table_select.rowCount()     
        self.table_select.setRowCount(
                  self.tableview_input.rowCount())
        self.table_select.setItem(
                   nb,0,qtw.QTableWidgetItem(new_value))

I guess I need to create a loop, but I don't know on what I should do it

[hybrid spindle]

Anyone know how to update a QLabel depending on the active tab?

currentIndex() works find for indexing, but the label itself never changes even if I redefine it. So its like the code never loops back through that section of the code

[worthy ridge]

@hybrid spindle u can bind the currentindex changed event of the tab

Tab widget have their currenttext too

[hybrid spindle]

Yeah, never connected the tabs to an event. Trying to figure out how to get that setup. Think I screwed myself by making my mainwindow off of the QTabWidget

class mainWindow(QtWidgets.QTabWidget):
    
    def __init__(self,ions, app, parent=None,intervening=False):
      super(mainWindow,self).__init__(parent)

       self.tabs = [QtWidgets.QWidget()]
       self.addTab(self.tabs[self.page],self.tab_names[self.page])

Any idea where that currentchanged signal is stored with my probably horrid setup?

[worthy ridge]

@hybrid spindle u can looo the docks

[ivory ember]

Where can one find the QPropertyAnimations for each specific widget for PyQt5? I've tried the docs, but to no avail.

In more nuanced terms, the bytes string that defines what is being animated.

Hi, i have a little question: I am currently trying to get the value out of a QLineEdit to store it inside a variable and then later put it into some html code. I've just started to learn today, but i have tried a lot of things but i always get like this response

[misty canopy]

This indicates that you're trying to print a function.

You're likely meant to call it and print the result.

[azure swallow]

so self.label.text is a function? Docs said its a return value

[misty canopy]

I haven't worked with pyside, but looking at the docs...
https://srinikom.github.io/pyside-docs/PySide/QtGui/QLabel.html
hmm, it really is confusing. They mention it as text(), signifying it's a function, yet they call it a property, which I believe is incorrect if it's a normal function and not a @property.

I guess they just use the word property to describe anything an object has.

It is, however, in the Functions list and written as text(), so it's a function.

[azure swallow]

Thats QLabel, i'm talking about QLineEdit (input field) nvmd the same

[misty canopy]

https://srinikom.github.io/pyside-docs/PySide/QtGui/QLineEdit.html#PySide.QtGui.PySide.QtGui.QLineEdit.text
The same

[azure swallow]

But it must somehow be possible to access the text xD

[misty canopy]

does text() not work?

[azure swallow]

Hm interesting. I tested that like 7 times but now after asking for help it works??

Must be murphys law tho. Nevermind, now that im here i can ask the onfollowing question: How do i use placeholder inside a mulitple line string? i tried with

"""
multiple
line
{}
""".format("put something in here")

and with various variations, like {0}, %s, but none of that worked for me sadly

[modern marsh]

Its a QLineEdit so idk how it will handle new lines when it's all supposed to be in a single line

[azure swallow]

Nono QLineEdit is done, i talk about strings in general

Let me write a quick example

[modern marsh]

Use f strings

a = 5
print(f"value of a is {a}")```

[misty canopy]

Your very example seems to work for me though

!e

# even in two steps:
a = """
multiple
line
{}
"""
print(a.format("Yay!"))

[proven basin]

@misty canopy :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 
002 | multiple
003 | line
004 | Yay!

[misty canopy]

(and if you don't need to split the template declaration from usage, then just use f-strings)

[azure swallow]

Works for me too on PyCharm, guess it must have been a IDLE problem

Ok and if i have like 15 arguments for that string, can i row them up with numbers?

Or is f string better here? edit: it is better

[misty canopy]

Pretty much the only case when you might not want an f-string is so that you can define the pattern in one place and format it in another.

[azure swallow]

I have like 100 lines of html code that i want to template into a .html file with different arguments like names, points, comments etc. The html code is already written, i just need to fill in the QLineEdits and textfields and put them inside the string

I'm curious why I had to type self.centralwidget since I didn't have a function named that.

[modern marsh]

QMainWindow needs a centralWidget

Check the documentation

If you do not want a centralWidget or a inbuilt layout use QDialog or QWidget

@coarse mirage

[coarse mirage]

That makes more since since this is how I set up my class class Main_Window (QWidget):

I changed my code to this def button_1(self): pybutton = QPushButton(self) pybutton.clicked.connect(self.button_click) self.initiate_button = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.QWidget)

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:

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.

[modern marsh]

Oh wait

I saw it again and I found the problem

self.initiate_button = QWidgets.QPushButton(self)```

[digital rose]

You're creating a new scrolledtext widget in a loop. The widgets keep on piling up. Instead, create a scrolledtext outside of the loop, probably after creating the top-level. To insert text in a scrolledtext widget, you can do:

self.scrolled_text.insert('1.0', 'some text')

where 1.0 is an index, in this format: line.column

@azure swallowu need to call the text function

@coarse mirage ```py

QWidget has no attribute QPushButton but QtWidgets does

I think you should read more about these objects to understand the difference

[worthy ridge]

need critiques on the UI

[modern marsh]

Perhaps make the duration sliding bar a bit smaller

UI in general is looking like a classic desktop app

[modern marsh]

Ah yes, I made a spelling mistake, I'm sorry

[graceful void]

Happens don't worry !

Is there a way to set a default value to a QSpinBox which isn't the minimal value ?

If you know that @modern marsh , you seems to know a lot about PyQt :D

[modern marsh]

Ah I don't do Qt anymore, have switched to different frameworks

I don't know

[graceful void]

Ah xD

I'll continue to look for it so

I havn't found anything on qt.doc

[digital rose]

tkinter ❤️

[graceful void]

@digital rose The people where I'm working prefer PyQt

And I won't stay there for long

So I learnt PyQt, it'll be easier for them to help me or to modificate my code later

But to be honest I don't know the difference between these two

[modern marsh]

Qt is better but tkinter has its uses

[graceful void]

Ah, which uses ?

[modern marsh]

Lightweight

No extra dependency

Probably easier to learn

[graceful void]

Oh I see

Thanks !

So I guess it's better for little apps

[modern marsh]

Yes, np!

[worthy ridge]

@graceful void yes it the value attribute

[graceful void]

@worthy ridge ah the value attribute isn't to obtain the value entered in the QSpinBox ?

[worthy ridge]

@graceful void setValue() will emit valueChanged() if the new value is different from the old one. The value property has a second notifier signal which includes the spin box's prefix and suffix.

(I dont know if this fits here but) How would i turn a entire tkinter python folder into a .exe
I have tried running pylauncher but nothing would work
I would like to know before tomorrow

[modern marsh]

pyinstaller --onefile your_proj.py

[worthy ridge]

@digital rose use Nuitka

[modern marsh]

Nuitka has some issues with current pyside version afaik

Tkinter, idk if it's supported

[digital rose]

your_proj is the first thing the .exe would run right?

[modern marsh]

It (ig ) compresses the entire folder with all deps into one exe

And I think it will be named the same as your py file

[digital rose]

I see
I just need to get pylauncher to work somehow

[high berry]

how do you add a background image in tkinter

[digital rose]

But i installed it?

[worthy ridge]

@modern marsh https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6/deployment.html#deployment-guides

[digital rose]

Im not using Qt

[worthy ridge]

build process is same for all

[modern marsh]

?

[digital rose]

[worthy ridge]

@modern marsh i pinged wrong

[modern marsh]

Umm no

Aight

[digital rose]

damn it

[worthy ridge]

exit outta the interpreter

[digital rose]

You mean the Python Command Line?

[worthy ridge]

yeah

[digital rose]

Yep closed

@worthy ridge

[digital rose]

@digital rose the place where you were entering these commands is a python interpreter. It is supposed to interpret python code bits. The command you entered there should be entered in a terminal like command prompt.

Ah i see
I downloaded the raw PyLauncher code but i get this weird massive error when trying to convert it to a .exe

@digital rose I really don't know whats going wrong tbh

What are you trying to do, exactly?

I have a folder that is mostly .py files and i want to turn that folder into a .exe file (Its Tkinter too)
I just need to get the folder to a executable somehow

Ah. So there must be a main file that you want to convert to an .exe? You can use pyinstaller for that. There are options for converting multiple files as well.

Yeah but the main file also referneces 2 others
utilities and terminal
I tried Pyinstaller but it gives me a error

[high berry]

is there a cgood article i can learn tkinter from

[digital rose]

If you have the main file, there is the command for converting that file into an executable. I believe pyinstaller will keep track of all imports in your file.

pyinstaller --onefile main.py

The file cannot be accessed by the system.
I believe this is the problem

@digital rose This is the error

(Censored my PC username)

I see. What files are you using? Maybe just try grouping all the files related to the project in one separate folder, and run a command prompt session from there. Another fix could be to create a virtual environment and put the files in there.

[azure swallow]

This is the HTML Code generated with Python. Those things are öäü, anyone knows a fix for this? fixed it

[digital rose]

Oh so i should seperate the icon file and the txt file in the Folder?

[digital rose]

just put all the files for the project, every file you need, whatever it is, an icon file, text file, or any script, in the folder.

Just everything in the main folder?

yes. a benefit of that would be, that you will not need to add the full paths of any file you are using. and maybe pyinstaller does not have any problems with it.

It still gives me a error wtf

what sort of errors are you getting?

What's a good and friendly library to work with for GUI?

Something that's cross platform. It only has to be compatible with Windows and macOS.

Project I'm working on is a CLI(command line interface) program and I already have a lot of the logic.
But I'm thinking of creating a really simple GUI, so someone can double click on an icon to get a GUI and then click a button that would run the program. This GUI is pretty much an alternative for the below terminal commands:

cd project_name/
py run_project.py

[lime monolith]

tkinter will do if you just want simple, otherwise any of them will do what you want, it would be down to personal preference

[thorny crescent]

Does tkniter have good documentation?

[high berry]

idk i just search everything up

and work from that

[lime monolith]

there is tutorials here for a lot of them
https://realpython.com/tutorials/gui/

[thorny crescent]

Oh nice thanks!! I'll give it a look.

And doesnt tkinter already come preinstalled with python? I guess this might be a good start.

[lime monolith]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html

The tkinter package (“Tk interface”) is the standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit. Both Tk and tkinter are available on most Unix platforms, as well as on Windows systems. (Tk itself is not part of Python; it is maintained at ActiveState.)

[thorny crescent]

ok I'll look at python's tkinter documentation also. Thanks!!

[digital rose]

For neat CLIs you can check out urwid: https://urwid.org
It is quite well documented.

Use Pyside2 instead

[digital rose]

That is quite a simple string addition:

a = 'hello '
b = 'world!'
print(a+b)

output:

"hello world!"

a = 'hello '
b = 'world!'
print(a+b)

how do i change background colour kivy?

[tribal path]

https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.core.window.html#kivy.core.window.WindowBase.clearcolor or draw a rectangle on the canvas

[void moat]

@tribal path what is window

import kivy
kivy.require('2.0.0')

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.lang import Builder



class Gride(App):

    def build(self):
        
        return Label(text='Hello world')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    Gride().run()
``` current code

[tribal path]

Its essentially the actual window.

from kivy.core.window import Window
Window.clearcolor = 1,0,1,1

[void moat]

a

@tribal path I have a colour 27,43,64,1 but it doesn't work and gives me a white screen

class Gride(App):

    def build(self):
        Window.clearcolor = 27,43,64,1
        return Label(text='Hello world')

[tribal path]

needs to be between 0 and 1 ie 27/255

[void moat]

i don't get it

[tribal path]

27/255, 43/255, 64/255, 1

[void moat]

oh why so?

[tribal path]

you were using numbers in a range of 255. kivy uses values from 0 to 1. Its a common graphic range. there are some kivy.utils if you want it to convert for you https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.utils.html?highlight=utils#kivy.utils.rgba

[void moat]

[tribal path]

build returns just the root widget if thats what you mean. How would that look?

[barren heath]

is there any other gui lib instead of tkinter ??

[lime monolith]

https://realpython.com/tutorials/gui/

[barren heath]

so there is other than tkinter nice cause I've been struggling with it

[lime monolith]

what have you been struggling with ?

[barren heath]

before i programmed a restaurant checker it took me 6 days to make it and tkinter i think it has some difficulty to deal with

i think is a bit old

[lime monolith]

dis you write it using classes?

[barren heath]

i am starter i didnt use classes

[lime monolith]

As long as it does what it intended to do it doesn't matter that much what it looks like.

[lime monolith]

using classes will make it easier to manage your code.

[barren heath]

yeah there is a little bugs

Like here the total amount has a lot of 0 and i dont want that

[barren heath]

I will learn about classes function it should make code go easier

[lime monolith]

tkinter is not to blame for that, it displays the text how you have formatted it.

[barren heath]

maybe i used list for addition

[lime monolith]

!e

print(10/3)
print(round(10/3, 2))```

[proven basin]

@lime monolith :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 3.3333333333333335
002 | 3.33

[barren heath]

i will try that

[lime monolith]

also with f strings
!e

amount = 10 / 3
print(f'{amount:.2f}')```

[barren heath]

do u know any additon function for list

?

[lime monolith]

!e

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(sum(numbers))```

[proven basin]

@lime monolith :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Does anyone here have any experience with Pyinstaller?? I really need help

[novel lagoon]

So I have two entry boxes. I am trying to get what is entered in those boxes to print when a button hits

I am unsuccessful so far

Any ideas?

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

[lime monolith]

create a method to be called by the command in the following line instead of print

self.graphButton = Button(self.linearFrame, text = "Graph", command = print(m),  #error from here```
move the following into that method then you can print the values obtained from those widgets at the point of clicking the button.
```py
m = self.mInput.get()
b = self.mInput.get()```

[novel lagoon]

I tried calling a function that prints it, in the command area of the button

it still did not work for me

revised: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/izofamoroh.rb

sorry if I misunderstood what you said

[lime monolith]

self.graphButton = Button(self.linearFrame, text = "Graph", command = self.on_graph_btn,  #error from here```
and add the method
```py
    def on_graph_btn(self):
        m = self.mInput.get()
        b = self.bInput.get()
        print(f'a= {m}, b= {b}')```

@sturdy skiff those are individual widgets and u can arrange them in a grid

they want a widget on another widget

@distant swift

first, you need to show your mainwindow by window.show()

[graceful void]

import sys
import PyQt5.QtWidgets as qtw
from PyQt5.QtGui import QFont

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

        self.label = qtw.QLabel('This is label', self)
        self.show()
  

App = qtw.QApplication(sys.argv) 
window = Window()
sys.exit(App.exec())

but you'll need to create a central widget if you want to do something more complex

if you don't know what is a central widget, I think you can read some tutorials about it, I know realpython has some good article to begin with, but you also have https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/ which a lot of information.

and you don't need to create a method just to print a QLabel in the main screen

[worthy ridge]

Its better to use a designer in the beginning

[graceful void]

yes

I learnt with designer too

with designer you can make almost everything you want to do ^^

    firstnumberdispaly=Label(window,text=firstnumber + ' ' + operation + ' ' +secondnumber + ' = ',bg=background,fg='white',font=fontstyle)```

what is the wrong in this code

error is

best way

sorry i dont do TK

[graceful void]

yes, I really improved a lot with designer .. I passed few days trying to learn just by myself, and now I can say it's a lot quickier to use QDesigner Xd

@worthy ridge What the library your using

[worthy ridge]

Qt

[hoary pine]

umm noice

[modern marsh]

Use str() to convert int to string

Its a type error

[lime monolith]

Use an f string and it will automatically change the int to a string for you

firstnumberdispaly=Label(window,text=f'{firstnumber} {operation} {secondnumber} = ',bg=background,fg='white',font=fontstyle)```

What would be the best way to start creating modern GUIs? Should I use PySide2 or PySide6 and do I need any external external programs to create the layout of my window like QtDesigner?

I suggest you to use PySide2 as of now because PySide6 still has some unfinished/missing features.

[graceful void]

QtDesigner is easy to use, so it's a must have for beginners, but if you already know how to create your view, you can use it or not. by using it, it'll be quicker to do what you want to do, but by writing everything you'll have more control on your window ..

I've seen a gui with custom title bar but still has the drop-down when you right click on the title bar. And still has an animation

Discord is one of the example

[worthy ridge]

yeah u will need to add the animation on the widget

Discord doesnt use Qt AFAIK

[plush stream]

Of course. I'm just asking if it's possible to do in qt

[worthy ridge]

it is

u can look up wandersons code

[plush stream]

Alr thanks

[rugged marsh]

Idk how to do that

[unique forge]

yeah, Wanderson has made a discord replica with PySide and QML

i have question in tk
so i want to pass the text widget input to a function]

    input = Enter.get("1.0",'end')
    OK.bind('<Button-1>',lambda Results=3,result=Enter.get():done(Results,result))
```Here is it

and here is the error

  File "C:\Users\homam\Desktop\New folder\d\New Text Document.py", line 77, in <module>
    Startchallange()
  File "C:\Users\homam\Desktop\New folder\d\New Text Document.py", line 53, in Startchallange
    input = Enter.get("1.0",'end')
TypeError: get() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given```

[tribal path]

did you mean set?

[azure swallow]

How can i create an executable from a pyqt5 script without the need of having the .ui file in the same directory (or the same machine at all)

[hoary pine]

what ?

[tribal path]

or insert rather. instead of get which doesn't take any args

[hoary pine]

no no i mean that i mean that i want to get the input from the text widget and then i want to pass it to function and i dont know how to pass it

also why does ppl do

self.

[tribal path]

the error is here though Enter.get("1.0",'end') what is this meant to do?

[hoary pine]

The first part, "1.0" means that the input should be read from line one, character zero (ie: the very first character). END is an imported constant which is set to the string "end". The END part means to read until the end of the text box is reached. The only issue with this is that it actually adds a newline to our input. So, in order to fix it we should change END to end-1c(Thanks Bryan Oakley) The -1c deletes 1 character, while -2c would mean delete two characters, and so on.

Which GUI library is more common at companies?

Sort of like how Java and Spring boot, and C# and .Net are pretty common among enterprise companies

[tribal path]

Is that an Entry or a Text?
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/tk_text.htm
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/tk_entry.htm
Notice the gets are different

[digital rose]

If it is an entry widget:

input=Enter.get()

Will suffice.

[hoary pine]

i already have done the problem

anyways thx

@digital rose btw is there way to change this thing here

also is there way to write this as a format

with out making this three

this three labels

[digital rose]

Yes, that is the window icon. You can change it with iconbitmap(). You can use either - a .png file or an .ico file:

icon=PhotoImage (path='/path/to/image.png')
root.iconbitmap(icon)

[hoary pine]

oh nocie

ty

[hoary pine]

@digital rose i will be thankful if you answered this

[digital rose]

I don't really understand the question there. What widget is in the picture?

[digital rose]

If that's the three labels, then you don't need 3 labels for displaying 8 - 3 (I'm assuming that is a hyphen.), You can group that text in one label:

label=Label(window, text='8 - 3')

[hoary pine]

yes but its random

the operation and the numbers is random

[digital rose]

Ah I see. You can use f - strings here:

# assume that a, b are random:
a , b = 10, 2
display_text=f'{a}-{b}'
# so display text would become: 10-2
label=Label(window, text=display_text)

[hoary pine]

ok thank you for hel p

help*

btw

#help-mango @digital rose i guess its simple am stupid

[digital rose]

You could create a variable operator and do it this way:

a, b=10, 2
operator = '-'
display=f'{a}{operator}{b}'
print(display)

This would print out '10-2'.

What libraries are there to make a beautiful UI in python?

[graceful void]

there is 4 librairies I know, TKinter, wxPython, PyQt,Pyside2

I personnaly use PyQt5

[tribal path]

those are really tcl/c++ wrappers - for actual python theres kivy... but really have a look at a few and see which does what you want

[placid nebula]

hey guys
problem : i have main window and there is button which opens next window TopLevel then in that TopLevel window i have 2 entryboxes and button by which i want to run function, function has simple code:
entryx.insert(0,"a")
entryy.insert(0,"b")
but when i run everything i work smoothly until i press that button to insert something to entry boxes. it gives error: name entryx is not defined
where is problem here

[north ore]

Kivy isnt a wrapper for any c++

It was made from the ground up

[tribal path]

didn't claim it was - wx and qt are though

(kivy's wrap layer would be on the graphic layer - sdl2 primarily)

[north ore]

Ye

[graceful void]

where did you define entryx ?

(if you can show the code, it'll be easier to help you)

[placid nebula]

in other function that opens TopLevel window

[graceful void]

so your function is defined in your mainwindow ?

[placid nebula]

well there is main window and button on it which has attached function that opens TopLevel (next window) and in that TopLevel i have another button by which i want to insert value in box in TopLevel window ( entryx and entryy is defined in TopLevel)

[graceful void]

can you show your code ?

it'll be easier

[placid nebula]

thanks you pushed me on path, i didnt defined it as global thats why i didnt have access in other function

[graceful void]

np ^^

[lime monolith]

global's get messy, try using classes instead and group together related things.

[placid nebula]

well program not gonna be big maybe 300+ lines so

ok second question - how to set keyboard buttons to run function in tkinter? i tried method bind but it sucks, it has to need "focus" on the button or any object which is corresponding to that function to run it

[worthy ridge]

300 is big

[modern marsh]

300 is quite small for a GUI proj tbh

Depends on the project but yeah

[placid nebula]

yeah, half of that already takes just gui, other 150 + is true code

[lime monolith]

have you tried binding to the parent frame instead of a control?

[placid nebula]

not! well ill try

return self.func(*args)

[lime monolith]

import tkinter as tk


class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        btn = tk.Button(self, text="OK", command=self.on_btn)
        btn.pack()
        self.bind('a', self.on_a)
        btn.bind('b', self.on_b)

    def on_btn(self):
        print('on_btn')

    def on_a(self, event):
        print('on_a')

    def on_b(self, event):
        print('on_b')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = App()
    app.mainloop()```
Pressing b is a pain just as you said the button needs focus but pressing a works a lot better.

tkinter calculator i made

[azure swallow]

Does anyone know why the programm ui wont show on windows, but does show on linux?

[unique forge]

what?

[azure swallow]

I have written a 400 lines application in PyQt5, the code is working, the window is opening on linux but not on windows (but application is starting)

The window is just not appearing but application is running :/

[lime monolith]

Well done, it works. when using a calculator pressing one of the operators normally doesn't clear the current number, its cleared when you click the next number, do you think you could figure out how to make it work like that.
Some other improvements you could work on, remove the from **tkinter import *** and use import tkinter as tk to not pollute the namespace, try and remove some of the duplicated parts by using loops and change the code to use classes.
Sorry but i found a bug, if you press a number and then the = you get

line 53, in button_equal
    if math == 'addition':
NameError: name 'math' is not defined```

I have no .kv file

I need help with the kivy properties. On the website (https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.properties.html) it says, that properties can be shared in different Widgets. I don't know how that works. I want the TimerButton and Main to share the property is_running. How do I do that?

I can show you how I solved it but I would want to know how the Property sharing works

This is the solution I found https://pastebin.com/Uafd8Nke

[tribal path]

by property sharing I believe its referring to if you were to say have the Prop on the Grid and have the button s on the grid refer/make use of the Prop

pretty much as you have it there yea.

[fleet lynx]

Well I want to have 1 property but an on_is_running in the button, in the TimerDisplay and I want to use it in the Button

[fleet lynx]

Yes

[tribal path]

you could add a bind there. if thats what you're after

[rich radish]

i need help in #databases

[fleet lynx]

What's a bind tree? Can't I just reference the same BooleanProperty object in each one of them?

[lime monolith]

like this you mean ?

def on_is_running(self, *args):
        print("hey", *args)
        self.button.is_running```

[tribal path]

self.bind(is_running=self.button.on_is_running) should work

[fleet lynx]

And that does what?

[tribal path]

when is_running changes it should call that function/method

[fleet lynx]

Have you worked with kivy before? on_property is by default called when property changes. What I could do tho is to bind the methods of the children to the property of the parent

[tribal path]

It is a bit roundabout the way you have it though yea. I was just using the property name you have already, the button doesn't have the prop itself to trigger it

[lime monolith]

class Main(GridLayout):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(Main, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.cols = 1 
        self.button = TimerButton(size_hint_y=3)
        self.add_widget(self.button)
        self.button.bind(is_running=self.on_is_running)
    
    def on_is_running(self, *args):
        print("hey", *args)```

[fleet lynx]

Yes. I thought (as the website says) that you can store 1 property in multiple Widgets

[tribal path]

if you were using kv it sets up binds for you

[fleet lynx]

Yes. I might do it like that. Also I want to check from within the button whether the clock is running or not. I might have to create a separate BooleanProperty inside the button that gets reset everytime the BooleanProperty inMain changes

[lime monolith]

I've not used kivy but it looks something like that from the docs, i change the parameter from a to is_running

[fleet lynx]

You changed it. Now does button.is_running get called or is button.is_running a property that gets changed when Main.is_running gets changed?

[tribal path]

you'd want an AliasProp I believe; which is what kv would setup in such a case

[lime monolith]

i would guess when is_running changes it will call on_is_running as its an observer pattern.

[fleet lynx]

Doesn't an AliasProp alias 2 or more properties like x,y become size=(x,y)? At least that's how I understood it

But maybe an alias prop is just what I need 🤷‍♂️

[tribal path]

with those if you see x and y as NumProps size is an AliasProp that watches x and y as if either change you want the size prop to know and respond (size should probably be pos here but you get the jist)

[fleet lynx]

Yes. I get that

I just don't get why I want to use an alias prop

I quote the docs: ```
Better Memory Management:
The same instance of a property is shared across multiple widget instances.

I want to do exactly that: share the same instance of a property in multiple Widgets. But there's no explanation as to how I should do it

(Or at least I haven't found it)

[lime monolith]

all the widgets would bind to the same TimerButton and observe its changes

[fleet lynx]

Ok. But I don't just want to look when it changes but also what it holds at the moment. Eg if the timer is running, I want to stop the timer on_pressed but if the timer is not running I want to start it on_release. For that I need to check the value of it as well

I could either do inside of the button something like ```py
if self.parent.is_running:

Or I could make a separate property inside of button that gets changed everytime `on_is_running` gets called

[lime monolith]

You should still be able to access the property in the normal way to get its current vale

[fleet lynx]

Please look more on the current version and less on the old one. I only have the property in Main.

I would also like to change the property from inside button instead of calling the parent first but that's not really the problem

[lime monolith]

i got disconnected for a min there whats the current version

[fleet lynx]

Anyways I gotta sleep. Pls ping me if you answer me during the night so I can read it tomorrow

[lime monolith]

I this something like what your looking for, i wasn't able to run it as i didn't have kivy installed so may need a bit of tweaking

how can one fade all the widgets away in a layout in PyQt5

i've tried using a QGraphicsOpacityEffect as it works with fading in and out labels, but doesn't work with QPushButtons

I first create a graphics effect, apply it to the main frame widget, and add each widget from the frame's layout in a for loop

i then create an animation for the effect and call it later in the code

the error occurs when setting the graphics effect on a QPushButton

nvm, now its showing it on a NoneType

i don't know if anyone cares to know, but i fixed the problem by checking if the widget is None. I think my spacing in the layout causes None as they are not widgets.

If I have a form made using pyqt5 and I want to pass all of the values into another class, calculate.py, for analysis and whatever else to do with it, what's the most efficient way?

should I create a dictonary that holds ALL of the information and just pass it?

Just wanted to get your thoughts, if I have one file that is a GUI and has a form input and a submit button, and another file that does (insert whatever with that information), what's the best way to get the data from one file to the other file? I know HOW to retrieve the data, but I am asking more theory of the most effective way.
I might just make a dictionary that holds everything and pass it, but then I would need to do

name = dict['name']
number = dict['number']
email = dict['email']

[graceful void]

you can do a dict of list

mydict={'Name':[name1,name2,name3],'number':[number1,number2,number3],'email':[email1,email2,email3]}

use a pyqt5 signal

for i in buttons:
    self.button = QPushButton(i,self)
    self.button.move(0,pos)
    self.button.clicked.connect(self.down)
    pos += 30

def down(self):
    print(self.button.text())

i create multiple buttons with this loop. But if i click any button, it only print last button's name. but i need it to print the name of whatever button i click

if you send answer, please mention me

Can someone please help me make a bot add me if u wanna help

[cursive sentinel]

im looking for advice

im new and i try using qtcreator/qt design studio and they are amazing for newbie to create simple gui but when i wanna make some changes like rounded corners of window i find on stackoferflow etc. only guides for qtdesigner/python for my problem. But when i use qt designer i cant find even switch button like i have in qt design studio

idk what to do now

[modern marsh]

this is not really related to python but,

have you tried importing QtQuick.Controls

[cursive sentinel]

qt is in python(? idk)

[modern marsh]

Qt is well C++

[cursive sentinel]

how import that to qt designer program?

[modern marsh]

but what you do in QtCreator is a mix of C++/QML or py/QML

uhh just but an import statement at the top of your code

import "QtQuick.Controls 2.15"

iirc

[cursive sentinel]

but in qt designer i dont have acces to code like in qt design studio

[modern marsh]

oh wait , you are using designer inside the creator?

[cursive sentinel]

i have 3 programs in my pc: qt creator, qt designer, qt design studio

in creator and design studio i have acces to code but guides in stackoflow are codes in python

for example i cannot use in qt creator:
background-color:

becouse i get error

[modern marsh]

Okay, can you take a screenshot of the app you are using?

[cursive sentinel]

i can even go for code/help 0 channel in u want and i can stream

[modern marsh]

Ah thankd

Thanks

So this is a QML file

[cursive sentinel]

you wanna me stream?

[modern marsh]

And you need to know QML to edit it

[cursive sentinel]

ok

but for example switching to main.py dont show any codes similar to qml

[modern marsh]

So to add a border radius iirc, you just do:

Rectangle{
border-radius: 8px;
}```

I don't remember very well so check the documentation

[cursive sentinel]

for example in qt desing studio it show:

[modern marsh]

The py file only contains a sort of qml loader, it contains the backend and executes the program

The QML contains all the design information

[modern marsh]

Yeah Window does not have it iirc

Nest a Rectangle inside window

And add the attrvute

Attribute

[cursive sentinel]

iirc?

[modern marsh]

If I recall correctly

[cursive sentinel]

how? what is it

[modern marsh]

I would recommend seein a tutorial first

Search for KDAB tutorials on QML

[cursive sentinel]

okay , thanks

[modern marsh]

Np

[cursive sentinel]

i have more questuions

in that qml i can implements some scripts/code?

for example if slider be checked the script gonna do somethink?

[modern marsh]

Yeah, it's very similar to javascript

[cursive sentinel]

ik only some python

[modern marsh]

But I don't think we should talk more about this here

Let's move to #ot1-perplexing-regexing

[ivory ember]

whats wrong, also you're not adding your widgets to any layout

[lime monolith]

Also you are creating new QLabel's on every tick of the QTimer , create them once not inside the timer and then update the label values in the clock method.

[lime monolith]

            self.labels[name] = label

Thank you bro

[strange tide]

I'm having this error: NameError: name 'self' is not defined

class MainThread(QThread):
def init(self):
super(MainThread,self).init()

[strange tide]

This was what I was running

Any help?

Its kind of urgent

[lime monolith]

try

class MainThread(QThread):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()```

[mellow raven]

Shouldn’t be def __init__?

Ah there you go

[strange tide]

Can you guys stay online

I'll just try both yours

Ive just been fed up since last 6 hours

[strange tide]

Didn't work bro

[strange tide]

Nope, this also didn't work

Pls help me out here bro

[lime monolith]

Whats the error?

[strange tide]

Same error

[lime monolith]

whats the actual error traceback?

[strange tide]

Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: name 'self' is not defined

Hmm?

[lime monolith]

Its the self in this line that has the error

self.command = self.myCommand()

Are you trying to use this not in the class

[strange tide]

Thanks for helping me out @lime monolith

[strange tide]

Um, I don't understand

Shall I do onething, I'll send you my whole code in DM

Will you help me out?

[lime monolith]

The error is on line 71 you need to show more of the code to understand why it is an error

[strange tide]

yeah, i'll send you the code in DM?

[strange tide]

Anyone, please help

Its still not resolved

[ivory ember]

try changing self.command = self.myCommand() to self.command = myCommand()

[lime monolith]

I told you its because you have your While True at the class property level of indentation and it doesn't belong there as the previous line is a return from the myCommand method, is it supposed to be in your run method. The run method currently has an undefined TaskExecution method.

class MainThread(QThread):
    def __init__():
       super(MainThread,self).__init__()


    def run(self):
        self.TaskExecution()

    def talkToMe(audio):
        "speaks audio passed as argument"

        print(audio)
        for line in audio.splitlines():
            os.system("say " + audio)

    def myCommand(self):
        "listens for commands"

        r = sr.Recognizer()

        with sr.Microphone() as source:
            print('')
            r.pause_threshold = 1
            r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source, duration=1)
            audio = r.listen(source)

        try:
            self.command = r.recognize_google(audio).lower()
            print('You said: ' + self.command + '\n')

        # loop back to continue to listen for commands voice isn't recognised

        except sr.UnknownValueError:
            print('I\'m listening sir!')
            #command = myCommand()
            self.command = self.myCommand()

        return self.command

    while True:
        print("Listening")

[digital rose]

What is better and easier, Tkinter or PyQt?

[lime monolith]

@digital rose Try them both and see which best fits your use case and you get along with best.
https://realpython.com/learning-paths/python-gui-programming/

[ivory ember]

i'd recommend a good book for PyQt5

tkinter just doesn't compare

[woven nexus]

i be using tkinter and root.mainloop() screws up my program

how do i make it not screw up the rest?

[lime monolith]

Screws up your program? maniloop() is the normal way to run the GUI loop

[lofty jasper]

does anyone know how i cna use ImageTk in the PIL library?

i do ```py
from PIL import ImageTk

but ImageTk isnt in PIL for me

[digital rose]

If you just want to load an image, tkinter has a built in PhotoImage class:

import tkinter as tk
root=tk.Tk()
image = tk.PhotoImage(file='/path/to/image.png')
root.mainloop()

note that you can load an image, only after the window has been put up.

[lofty jasper]

@digital rose do you know if there is any way i will be able to load a PIL image then?

[digital rose]

This seems to work just fine for me:

from PIL import ImageTk, Image
import tkinter as tk

root=tk.Tk()
img=Image.open('/path/to/image.png')
image=ImageTk.PhotoImage(img)

example=tk.Label(root, image=image)
example.pack(side='top', fill='both',expand=1)

root.mainloop()```

[lofty jasper]

so when i do from PIL import ImageTk, Image it doesnt know that ImageTk is a thing

@digital rose

\

[digital rose]

The program doesn't run for you?

[lofty jasper]

it does

but i cant use ImageTk

[digital rose]

Are you getting any compilation errors?

When you run it with ImageTk?

[lofty jasper]

i have it tpyed in the import rn and no errors happen

that is because i am not using it

but

still

[digital rose]

Try running the example program.

[lofty jasper]

ok

[digital rose]

This one. Maybe it is caused by some plugins in VS code.

[lofty jasper]

it works

but i get no syntax highlighting

odd

[lofty jasper]

ur probably right then

do you know how i can see plugins i haave enabled?

nvm

[digital rose]

If you click on the extensions menu in the left hand side, it should split that portion into two - one should show the installed, and then the recommended extensions.

[lofty jasper]

yeah i've only got a few plugins added and none of them seem to have an effect

[digital rose]

I see. Maybe just remove all of them, probably some of them caused this bug in the syntax highlighting.

[lofty jasper]

yeah i tried still is weird

i guess it works tho so its fine ty

ill have to look at this monstrosity while im coding tho lol

[digital rose]

I see. If you are using pylint, then you can change its active path in the visual studio code settings, if that caused the bug.

[lofty jasper]

ok thanks for the help 😄

i made a web browser with pyqt5. I want it to have tabs. How do i do that?

heres the class for the web browser
