self initiate

[heavy oxide]

im really sorry to waste your time, but if its okay, can you edit the code? i am completely new to this

[winged orchid]

could screeenshot your current results whne u run it

[heavy oxide]

should i call self.initUI in the add tab function?

[worthy ridge]

@heavy oxide dude use the Qt designer to do the UI design adn use the stack widet or the tab widget to add tabs

[heavy oxide]

i am using mac so no qt designer

[worthy ridge]

@heavy oxide its inbuilt in Pyside package

IDK about mac but Qt is platform independent

[heavy oxide]

huh

[worthy ridge]

yeah

[heavy oxide]

oh

[worthy ridge]

yeah

[heavy oxide]

but can you show how to do it without qt designer

[worthy ridge]

i use it that way on windows too

nah no good that way i never othered with the UI declaraion

[heavy oxide]

oh okayy

[worthy ridge]

@heavy oxide https://github.com/UGLYclown999/Apollo/blob/f5cc330c9574fcbfbc0ec369c14255e6a9d9e692/apollo/gui/ui_mainwindow_apollo.py#L40

[worthy ridge]

look how its defined in my ui u can get some hel p

[heavy oxide]

oh okayyy thanks

[modern marsh]

eh QtDesigner is OK

learning Qt is good

[strange tide]

@lime monolith so If I edit my code and replace it with this, will it work?

[distant swift]

Anyone help me please

[worthy ridge]

Thanks @lime monolith bro 😍

[strange tide]

@lime monolith pls answer my question bro

Anyone, pls help me out

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

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

Please, anyone?

[haughty sundial]

Your init method should have a self argument in the definition

[lime monolith]

i already told you back there
#user-interfaces message

[strange tide]

It didn;t work

[lime monolith]

because as i already told you have a while True at the class property level and then try to use self

[strange tide]

So what should I do bro

Can we have a call and resolve this once and for all?

[lime monolith]

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

    def myCommand(self):
        "listens for commands"

    while True: # you cant do this it belongs inside a method
        print("Listening")
        self.command = self.myCommand()```

[strange tide]

Nope

[strange tide]

Oh, so I didn;t quite understand how exactly to resolve thos

How can I solve this error once and for all

Plsssss

Bro?

[lime monolith]

I cant tell you how to resolve it once and for all as i don't know what you intend your while True loop to do.
The following won't error but it may not do what you want it to do

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

    def myCommand(self):
        "listens for commands"

    def your_method_goes_here(self):
        while True:
            print("Listening")
            self.command = self.myCommand()```

[strange tide]

That while true loop is so that it keeps listening until the keyword is detected

WOAHHHHHH

Bro

That error seems to be resolved

But now, It doesn't run

The process just finishes wigh exit code 0

[lime monolith]

I told you how to fix the error, as i stated The following won't error but it may not do what you want it to do only you can make the code do what it is you want it to do.

[strange tide]

how?

[lime monolith]

you have a ; that should no be there.

[strange tide]

No, that i removed

But still it doesn't work

bro?

[lime monolith]

@strange tide This is for specific UI issue's not my code don't work.

[strange tide]

Huh?

What should my aruguements be here after "self="

[lime monolith]

This channel is for help with specific user interface problems, it's not for you to just say my code don't work how can i fix it.

[strange tide]

pls, last question @lime monolith

[strange tide]

Ik, last question

[lime monolith]

Whats the question ?

[strange tide]

This one

[lime monolith]

That's not a question, that a picture of a basic error that has nothing to do with GUI

[strange tide]

🥺

[lime monolith]

How much do you know how to code in python, it looks like you could do with learning some basic python before undertaking a big task.

[strange tide]

Bro, ik that, just help me out in this last one

pls?

😫

pls

Last time

Its very urgent that I get this done

[graceful void]

this is an homework ?

[strange tide]

kind of

[lime monolith]

You need to learn to code or you will bounce from one problem to another and get no where fast.

[graceful void]

we're not allowed to do your homework

[strange tide]

come on guys

pls

just this one

[graceful void]

only to help you. It seems you don't know how to use pyqt, so I guess you can watch some tutorial

[strange tide]

I did

But nowhere this is mentioned

I've searched hundres of stack overflows

But none solve mine

[graceful void]

what do you want to do ?

you havn't explained your problem

[strange tide]

A simple chatbot

That has wakeword detection, and GUI

The chatbot works

But when trying to add my GUI to ig

*it

[graceful void]

yes, but what is your problem ?

[strange tide]

All these problems

[graceful void]

I think you need to understand correctly what you're doing

[strange tide]

I was facing the NameError, but @lime monolith helped me solve it

Now

I don' t understand what I should place in this while true

@graceful void @lime monolith ??

I have tried all these combinations
assistant(command)
assistant(self.command)
assistant(self.myCommand())
assistant(myCommand(self))
assistant(myCommand())

[strange tide]

None of them work

bro?

[lime monolith]

You cant force programming to work by trying random things, you need to take a step back and learn some basics

[strange tide]

just help me this one time bro, I promise I will learn it, but for now, I need this done at any cost

The chatbot, I made it myself bro

But this PyQt5

Plssssss

Just this one last thing

Guys?

I'm literally begging you guys

PLSSSSSSSS

🥺

[graceful void]

hm no.

if you wanted to do it by yourself, I may have helped you

but you're just begging for someone doing your work

[worthy ridge]

@strange tide ur full code

[lost dragon]

# PyQt6
self.combo_list = QTableWidget(len(combos), 2)
            for combo in combos:
                self.combo_list.setItem(combos.index(combo)+1, 1, QTableWidgetItem(combo.code))
                self.combo_list.setItem(combos.index(combo) + 1, 2, QTableWidgetItem(combo.name))

For some reason, the table, self.combo_list remains empty... any clue why this could be?

[versed vessel]

So imagine i want to delete all elements from the main screen to create the settings menu, instead of trying to delete the possible defined widgets I should only create a frame and put all widgets there and whenever i gotta remove all widgets i only have to remove the widget right?

[lost dragon]

yup

[PyQt6]
When I create the window and its child widgets, the window dynamically resizes itself.. before interacting with the window, if QWidget.size gets called it returns PyQt6.QtCore.QSize(640, 480). Now, if i click a button on the window that will print the window's size (via QWidget.size again) it now returns PyQt6.QtCore.QSize(278, 361) which is the expected output.. any clue why I encounter this behavior? (yes, QWidget.size is called after the widgets are initalized) Any clue how I could fix this issue?

[mellow raven]

Hey guys, How can I make a widget's background transparent in a QGraphicsScene?

I put a widget in a QGraphicsScene. I did it by creating a QGraphicsItem, put it on the scene, then attached the widget to the QGraphicsItem. This works great, any widget(QPushButton, QLable, everything) that I attach to it gets a white background. Any ideas?

This is how it looks

The blue rectangle is a custom widget where I implemented the paintEvent() method to draw a rounded rect, but this happens with any widget.

Got it. The solution is: self.setAttribute(Qt.WA_NoSystemBackground)

[digital rose]

Yes. Just put them all in a frame and you only need to destroy the frame to remove all widgets in that frame.

[worthy ridge]

@lost dragon ur better off getting the rect of the widget instead og the size of the widget because size is the size of the widget and rect is the rendered area

[plush stream]

I made a window replica of windows 10's settings in PySide2 today. Still have a lot of things to improve but i think it's getting there.

[mellow raven]

Hey guys

How do I display an image in PySimpleGUI without using a raw string so that, when converted to an executable, other people can view the image?

I don't mind if it's a raw string I just want the image to show up when others view it.

[lime monolith]

If you are using WxPython in PySimpleGUI in the wx\tools folder is img2py.py

img2py.py -- Convert an image to PNG format and embed it in a Python module with appropriate code so it can be loaded into a program at runtime. The benefit is that since it is Python source code it can be delivered as a .pyc or 'compiled' into the program using freeze, py2exe, etc. Usage:

img2py.py [options] image_file python_file

Otherwise see the following use of base64
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3715493/encoding-an-image-file-with-base64

[steady dew]

Alright thank you so much

[north ore]

Bruh kivy default widgets looks exactly like android 4

[hybrid spindle]

Came across an issue that indexing by the row in a tablewidget only corresponds to the QlineEdit column (z column) and if I click on the remove or plot buttons it doesnt update the row.

e.g. if I enter in a second entry, but press remove on the first row...its index is 1 instead of 0.

So I tried to set an objectName by giving the buttons an index of str(i) as the buttons are generated in the loop. However, this just winds up overwriting, so the first button would then have an object name of '4' instead of '0'.

Any thoughts on resolving the overwriting or just indexing the row by where it is clicked within the TableWidget?

[high berry]

Can someone help me with pyqt5 widgets not showing up in #help-pear

[ivory ember]

basically you need a container widget and the scroll area will allow you to go over all the widgets in the layout assigned to that QScrollArea

[winged thunder]

Oh okay, thanks

[ivory ember]

you're welcome

[winged thunder]

@ivory ember I had a couple of questions regarding PyQt5.
Example Code:

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.centralwidget = QWidget()
        self.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)

        self.label1 = QLabel(self.centralwidget)
        self.label1.setText('IDK')


def main():
    app = QApplication([])
    window = MainWindow()
    window.show()
    app.exec()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()```
Q1. Should I use sys.argv and sys.exit() instead?
Q2. Should I make another function to define the label's properties?
Q3. Is it necessary to make a centralwidget as I am not using Dock Widgets, Toolbars, MenuBars, StatusBars?

Q4. Is it necessary to set a base layout for the main window, if so how?

[ivory ember]

Q1.) Preferably as it allows system args
Q2.) That's completely your preference. If you want to refactor it, go ahead. I usually leave it it all in the setupUI(self) func.
Q3.) You are correct, subclassing from QMainWindow is not required, that's just how I had it for my example.
Q4.) What base layout? You need one to add all the labels in your case set to a container widget. Then set the QScrollArea's widget to that.

Does all that make sense?

[winged thunder]

Yep makes sense

Thanks a lot dude

Also is there a website that has some good docs about PyQt5?

Hi

[hybrid spindle]

def specplot(self):
        ax=self.spectrum.gca()
        xlim=ax.get_xlim()
        ylim=ax.get_ylim()
        self.ax.lines[0] = ax.step(self.wave,self.smoothed_spectrum,'-',lw=1,label='smooth',color=clr['teal'])[0]
        self.spectrum.canvas.draw()

Updating a GUI mpl canvas and it stopped working after the first update.

Ended up that replacing the self.ax.lines[0] = ax.step line ended up appending a duplicate to the end of the ax.lines list. Not a huge concern, I got around by just deleting the last line....but wondering if anyone knew why it adds a duplicate object to the list?

[steady dew]

I'm using PySimpleGUI, how do I fix this?
When I update the 2 buttons to be invisible then update them to be visible as shown below, the second button goes under the first one for some reason.

    if int(z) < int(-50):
        window['bth'].update(visible=False)
        window['btt'].update(visible=False)
        window['over'].update(visible=True)
        window['over1'].update(visible=True)
    if event == 'over1':
        allshowing(False)
        window['over'].update(visible=False)
        window['over1'].update(visible=False)
        window['bth'].update(visible=True)
        window['btt'].update(visible=True)
        z = int(z) - int(z) + int(100) #there are no issues with this line and anything under it, just thought I'd send them as well for context
        window['bal'].update(str(int(z)))

Key dictionary:
'bth': "Bet on heads" button
'btt': "Bet on tails" button
'over': "Game over" text
'over1': "Restart" button
'bal': The amount of money displayed right after "Balance: $"

Here's the frame layout in which the buttons are:

frame_layout = [
    [sg.T('Balance: $'), sg.T('100', key='bal', size=(100, 0))],
    [sg.T(' ')],
    [sg.T('$'), sg.I(key='inp', size=(4, 0))],
    [sg.T('Please enter an integer', key='error', visible=False)],
    [sg.B('Bet on heads', key='bth'), sg.B('Bet on tails', key='btt')],  #<---- Buttons in question
    [sg.T('Game over', key='over', visible=False)], [sg.B('Restart', key='over1', visible=False)]
]

[edgy kestrel]

Whats the recommended way to write text on the screen above other programs, done it with borderless pygame windows so far but that doesnt seem like the norm

[rigid forge]

I am currently having a program showing information via a tkinter pop-up window, that destroys itself after a certain amount of time

class AutoCloseMessageBox(Tk):
    def __init__(self, title, text, duration):
        super().__init__()
        self.window_title = title
        self.text = text
        self.duration = duration
        self.width = 400
        self.height = 200
        self.after(1, lambda: self.focus_force())
        self.title(self.window_title)
        self.geometry(f"{self.width}x{self.height}+{int(self.winfo_screenwidth() / 2 - self.width / 2)}+{int(self.winfo_screenheight() / 2 - self.height / 2)}")

    def activate(self):
        self.label = Label(text)
        self.label.pack(expand=YES)
        self.after(int(self.duration*1000), lambda: self.destroy())
        self.mainloop()

Those pop-ups are usually launched from multiple threads, and I found out that Tkinter does not support mainlooping outside of the main thread, resulting in the error shown on the picture.
What other GUI framework would be best suited for what I am trying to do here ?
Thanks for any advice !

[lime monolith]

If you only use one only instance of tk.Tk and only one mainloop call, if you create a tk.Toplevel instead of another tk.Tk, i don't think you will have any issue destroying from an after call.

[rigid forge]

I will make sure to try this, thanks !

Been struggling with layouts for a while now. Thought gridlayout was solution but man does it act funky. Is there any way in the QVboxlayout to condense the widgets so they arent so spread out on the right side? And how would I extend the canvas to the bottom of the page?

[modern marsh]

You can add a QSpacerItem to condense widgets

So I've managed to code where upon the press of a button a label will be filled in with text that scrolls letter by letter in Tkinter:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/exosuxajuh.py

Upon trying to do a similar code in PyQt5 it doesn't work:

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

I get the following error:

  File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 69, in <module>
    window = Window()
  File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.button.clicked.connect(Window.text_scroll(text_2))
TypeError: text_scroll() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'```

Anyone know what's going on? Any help would be appreciated!

[misty canopy]

well, it looks like instead of calling text_scroll on your window, which is an instance of Window, you're trying to call it on the Window class itself

[coarse mirage]

I see. I assume the problem is here then: self.button.clicked.connect(Window.text_scroll(text_2))

What should I change?

[misty canopy]

What window did you intend to call this method on?

[coarse mirage]

I intend to change the label so label_1

But text_scroll is part of the class Window

If I call it as just text_scroll it won't recognize it

[misty canopy]

what instance of Window do you want to call this method on?

did you mean self.text_scroll, perhaps?

[coarse mirage]

changed it to self.button.clicked.connect(self.text_scroll(text_2))

Got:

  File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 69, in <module>
    window = Window()
  File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.button.clicked.connect(self.text_scroll(text_2))
  File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 58, in text_scroll
    for letter in text:
TypeError: 'Window' object is not iterable```

[misty canopy]

what's the code of text_scroll?

[coarse mirage]

        for letter in text:
            self.label_1.setText(text + letter)
            self.label_1.update()
            time.sleep(.07)```

[modern marsh]

self, text

not text, self

@coarse mirage

[coarse mirage]

Thanks. But I get this traceback:

  File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 69, in <module>
    window = Window()
  File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 51, in __init__

TypeError: argument 1 has unexpected type 'NoneType'```

[modern marsh]

ah nvm nvm

[coarse mirage]

The window UI stuff was just copied and pasted as a placeholder since I already know how to make a PyQt5 window.

I just wanted to transfer this code from Tkinter to PyQt5

[modern marsh]

show your function again

text_scroll

[coarse mirage]

        for letter in text:
            self.label_1.setText(text + letter)
            self.label_1.update()
            time.sleep(.07)       

[modern marsh]

ohhhh

man i have forgotten PyQt5

use lambda

lambda: self.text_scroll("text_2")

self.button.clicked.connect(lambda: self.text_scroll("text_2"))

[coarse mirage]

Okay, that worked but it doesn't gradually update letter by letter, it just shows it all at once.

[modern marsh]

i don't think you should be using time.sleep

there is a QTimer for PyQt5

for this specific usecase

your problem might be with the time.sleep() idk

[coarse mirage]

While I'm used to using QTimer, I'm not sure where to put it in this case.

I tried here: def text_scroll(self, text): for letter in text: QTimer.singleShot(700,self.label_1.setText(text + letter)) self.label_1.update()

Got this as a traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 53, in <lambda> self.button.clicked.connect(lambda: self.text_scroll(text_2)) File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 61, in text_scroll QTimer.singleShot(700,self.label_1.setText(text + letter)) TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call: singleShot(int, PYQT_SLOT): argument 2 has unexpected type 'NoneType' singleShot(int, Qt.TimerType, PYQT_SLOT): argument 2 has unexpected type 'NoneType'

[modern marsh]

im sorry, i have never used QTimer myself

[coarse mirage]

So it sees text_2 as a "NoneType" again

[modern marsh]

it can be a problem with the update method too

i don't really know

[coarse mirage]

Thanks for helping.

I got a lot farther than without you. 🙂

@hybrid spindle use the stretch attriute of the widgets sizepolicy

[deft hatch]

why is the tkinter not working?

[modern marsh]

you have imported as
from tkinter import *
and then using the lib as tkinter.Button or something

just import tkinter

import tkinter

and append tkinter to Tk at the top

[ivory ember]

try rewriting it using lambda, so QTimer.singleShot(700, lambda: self.label_1.setText(text + letter))

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a QTreeWidget background transparent. I tried setAttribute(Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground) and 'setAttribute(Qt.WA_NoSystemBackground)` but it doesn't make any difference. Any ideas?

[ivory ember]

try with qss

QTreeWidget {
  background: transparent;
}

i recommend setting an objectname with <widget>.setObjectName()

then changing qss to

QTreeWidget#<widget> {
  background: transparent;
}

[mellow raven]

Let me try

Awesome!

Thanks @ivory ember

Just curious, Is there a way to do it in the paintEvent()?

I'm also looking into hiding the top level item. The method I found hides the children of that item as well. I tried setRowHidden()

[ivory ember]

definitely a way, but it'd probably be too complicated for a QTreeWidget. Also don't use paintEvent() a lot 🙂

[mellow raven]

Why not?

Performance?

[ivory ember]

just the coding, cause the tree might split into subareas and all that

really just dunno

[mellow raven]

Oh ok ok

[coarse mirage]

Changed to this: def text_scroll(self, text): for letter in text: QTimer.singleShot(700, lambda: self.label_1.setText(text + letter)) self.label_1.update()

And just delays showing the text and then displays it all at once.

[ivory ember]

yea, now that I think about it

duno y QTimer was recommended

you'll probably need to move it to a whole seperate thread with QThread

[digital rose]

I'm currently working on a tkinter project using classes. In the picture you can see the root window which has a greenish color. Then there is this white main frame containing a header and box frame. The box frame has 3 little frames inside of it. I created the small frames with a class method and placed them into the box frame which looks fine but for some reason I'm not able to place anything into it. On top of the window there are 2 sub-labels stacked on top of each other but they are suppose to go into one of each small frame. I wasn't sure where the problem is so I just placed the Salt & Pepper label into the box frame instead of the small frame and it worked fine. The bullet points on that look like they are in the small frame are actually located in the box frame as well but I would like all the labels and their contents to be placed in each small frame. I just can't seem to find the issue.. Any help is appreciated!

class Information(Page):

PyQt5 Question...
So my application has a feature where users should be able to add rows to a QScrollArea via a button. Now, the problem is that I don't know how to do this with PyQt5. I made a custom widget class.

Now I know widgets need to be stored to memory, which is why they are usually assigned a class variable. My question is can I store these in a list since users need to add more and more rows, meaning I cannot hard code them.

[gilded sorrel]

yes, you have to manage all your buttons in your code if you need to change them dynamiclly

or you can do it in a more generic way, like def handle_row_btn(row: int):, so you only need to save id in button's UserRole data, rather than saving every button.

[digital rose]

Should I learn tkinter or PyQT5? I need something that's useful and easy

[ionic moat]

PyQt5

it depends what you're really going for

if you don't care about how the gui looks and dont need any special widgets and stuff, then go for tkinter

but if you dont want your gui looking like it was made 20 years ago, and you need special widgets that tkinter doens't have, use PyQt5

[digital rose]

I mean, isn't tkinter basically useless now

I don't want to waste time learning obsolete stuff

but sigh, I'll have to install a QT based DE like plasma to properly test QT apps

[gilded sorrel]

there are some theme project exists for tkinter

make GUI looks modern also need some effort with Qt

[north ore]

Does yellow go well with a dark theme?

[gilded sorrel]

darker yellow maybe better

[north ore]

Which theme looks better for my app

[gilded sorrel]

first for regular user, second for tech nerd

lol

[north ore]

Lol

[gilded sorrel]

bad news for PySide2

[north ore]

damn

why using framework like pyqt is sometimes bnot goof for dev

qt company literally has control of your app

the devs are not somewhat free

[plush stream]

Is it really that bad though? I mean we have a pretty good reason to deprecate PySide2 once PySide6 is properly finished and has all the features that PySide2 has.

[gilded sorrel]

properly finished is still a long way to go

[plush stream]

Fair

[north ore]

Are u a core dev?

[plush stream]

But i hope it's not going to be that long cuz the devs leaves PySide2 behind to work on PySide6

[plush stream]

Nay

[north ore]

Everyone should just code from scrstch no framework 😐😐

[plush stream]

That would be very hard if not impossible to do in python

[lofty pond]

You still having problems with this?

[dim chasm]

yeah, but my gf rewrote the entire code and its basically just written like shit

so its not really a fixable issue i just need to rewrite it

[lofty pond]

The issue with the previous was caching, because the im variable gets rewritten every loop, tkinter can't find the image and thus it doesn't show

[dim chasm]

my entire problem was that the entire code worked

until i put in

arr = np.array(A)
arr = np.pad(arr, 5)
A = arr.tolist()```

to try and pad it with zeros

then it just halted on the first image

*and that was outside of a loop

[lofty pond]

Ah, I don't know how to use numpy arrays so I don't know how to work with it

[dim chasm]

yeah and its really weird too, like somehow adding those 3 lines in outside of a loop cause the entire thing to halt after the first image

[lofty pond]

Try duplicating the code a few times without using the loop, see if that does any difference

[proud burrow]

[versed vessel]

Should I make an adaptable UI to 1920x1080 and 1366x768 resolutions or I should go with another library?

[modern marsh]

@versed vessel what library are you currently using

[coarse mirage]

so this code doesn't work as it doesn't repeat anything.

        global words
        time = 0
        count = 0
        words = QTimer.singleShot(time,lambda: Window.text_scroll(self))
        while count < 15:
            words
            time +=200
            count +=1```

I was wondering if I could do something like `x = words * 3' to repeat the entry of words three times?

[trim ibex]

!e py print('hello ' * 3)

[proven basin]

@trim ibex :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

hello hello hello 

[trim ibex]

or do you mean you wanna run that function 3 times?

[coarse mirage]

I want words which is words = QTimer.singleShot(time,lambda: Window.text_scroll(self)) to happen three times in the function.

[trim ibex]

words()
words()
words()

or with a loop

[coarse mirage]

A loop doesnt' work

[coarse mirage]

but does.

However that takes up too much space and is messy

I was wondering if I could do something like w5 = words() * 5

[trim ibex]

for _ in range(3):
    words()```

[coarse mirage]

  File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 72, in button_press
    words()
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable```

[trim ibex]

show the updated code please

[coarse mirage]

        time = 200
        count = 0
        words = QTimer.singleShot(time,lambda: Window.text_scroll(self))
        for i in range(3):
            words()
     
       
    def text_scroll(self):
        self._index += 1
        self.label_1.setText(self._text[:self._index])
        if self._index > len(self._text):
            self.timer.stop()```

[trim ibex]

oh it's because the return value of the singleshot must be None

[coarse mirage]

OMFG

I DID IT!

I FIGURED IT OUT!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

        time = 200
        for i in range(3):
            QTimer.singleShot(time,lambda: Window.text_scroll(self)); time +=200

        
     
       
    def text_scroll(self):
        self._index += 1
        self.label_1.setText(self._text[:self._index])```

It works~

I've been trying this for a week and I've done it!

[trim ibex]

yeah that'll do it 😉

there's probably a timer to run something 3 times already though

[mellow raven]

Hey guys, I have a QListWidget and I want it to increase its length based its content. Basically to grow as more rows are added. Is it the size policy that I have to tweak?
I tried setSizeAdjustPolicy(QListWidget.AdjustToContents) but this actually make it smaller.

[trim ibex]

how are the rows added?

[mellow raven]

They will be added with a button but right ow I'm adding them in the constructor.

        item_amount = 12
        for item in range(item_amount):
            list_Item = QListWidgetItem()
            self.addItem(list_Item)
            self.buttons.append(NodeShape())
            list_Item.setSizeHint(QSize(200,50))
            self.setItemWidget(list_Item, self.buttons[item])

[coarse mirage]

It requires asyncio it seems and that's a bit over my level.

I did "clean it up" though: ``` def button_press(self):
global wait
global wait_add
wait = 115
wait_add = 115
Window.text_display(self)

def text_display(self):
    global wait
    global wait_add
    word_count = len(self._text)
    for letters in range(word_count):
        QTimer.singleShot(wait,lambda: Window.text_scroll(self)); wait+=wait_add

    
def text_scroll(self):
    self._index += 1
    self.label_1.setText(self._text[:self._index])  ```

For some reason wait+=wait leads to crazy delays but wait+=wait_add works as intended.

[trim ibex]

that first one would be wait = wait + wait

[coarse mirage]

Nope. Tried it. Still delay.

[trim ibex]

no i'm saying that's why it'd be a big delay

you're doubling it every time that's done

[coarse mirage]

Oh.

Okay that makes sense.

Also for some reason global wait_add isn't blue highlighted like global wait is here: def button_press(self): global wait global wait_add wait = 115 wait_add = 115 Window.text_display(self)

It remains uncolored.

But it still works.

[trim ibex]

you should avoid using globals; pass those in to your methods as needed

you could also just define them in a higher scope

!e ```py
foo = 42

def bar():
print(foo)

bar()```

[proven basin]

@trim ibex :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

42

[coarse mirage]

That's true.

I'll clean up the code.

I'm just happy I got it to work.

[trim ibex]

i'd call wait_add interval or delay too

[coarse mirage]

???

[trim ibex]

just a better name for it imo

so is this thing typing out characters in text like in an rpg game or something?

[coarse mirage]

Similar to that. It's a dice game. This is what I have so far: https://i.imgur.com/S2D3bJq.mp4

The text only updates word by word and by the jankiest way possible.

        QTimer.singleShot(500, lambda: self.text.setText(f"The opponent's roll "))
        QTimer.singleShot(750, lambda: self.text.setText(f"The opponent's roll is"))  
        QTimer.singleShot(1000, lambda: self.text.setText(f"The opponent's roll is {roll_cpu}."))```

So yeah not the best way to do it. This way is not only correct but as usual, much better as well.

[trim ibex]

you could use split() and use the maxsplit arg to get words programmatically

[coarse mirage]

Sounds complicated.

[trim ibex]

!e py txt = "The opponent's roll is" for i in range(1,5): print(' '.join((txt+' ').split(' ',i)[:-1]))

[proven basin]

@trim ibex :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | The
002 | The opponent's
003 | The opponent's roll
004 | The opponent's roll is

[trim ibex]

forgot my :

what it's doing is using split with increasing max numbers of splits, and the end of the list it makes is just removed, then the list is re-joined into a string

[coarse mirage]

It works, but there needs to be a slight delay in between each update.

[trim ibex]

maybe there's an easier way to do it too

yeah but i mean what you have can be generalized into a function that displays increasingly large sections of text

and the delay could also use an equation

you could also just split the text into a list beforehand and print a particular number of words, increasing the number of them printed

[steady dew]

[unique forge]

I prefer this one

[idle nest]

thanks for feed back

[versed vessel]

Tkinter

But I don't know if I gotta switch to Kivy so it is easier

[modern marsh]

hmm idk if you can make that design in tkinter

good luck 😄

[gilded sorrel]

I cant get kivy work on macos

it always use pygame as engine

[versed vessel]

I'm using place, which probably isnt the best option so my idea was to store in a file every size and position of every widget and access them depending on the resolution, but then i realized it was a VERY bad idea

This is the UI i'm trying to make

Hi guys, I have a QListWidget from QT that I want to automatically adjust its length based on the content. So, as more items are added, the longer it gets. I'm populating this list like this:

        item_amount = 12
        for item in range(item_amount):
            list_Item = QListWidgetItem()
            self.addItem(list_Item)
            self.buttons.append(NodeShape())
            list_Item.setSizeHint(QSize(200,50))
            self.setItemWidget(list_Item, self.buttons[item])

I tried setSizeAdjustPolicy(QListWidget.AdjustToContents) but this actually make it smaller.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hey @pseudo axle!

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:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[north ore]

paste the kv string as well

I found out that when I try to change the text for my scrolling text function again, it no longer works.

Snippet: ```

def button_press(self):
    Window.wait = 25
    Window.wait_interval = 25
    self.text = (f"Change {Window.wait}.")
    Window.text_display(self)
    QTimer.singleShot(3000, self.text == (f"Changed Again."))
    QTimer.singleShot(3000, Window.text_display(self))             
  
def text_display(self):

    word_count = len(self.text)
    for letters in range(word_count):
        QTimer.singleShot(Window.wait,lambda: Window.text_scroll(self)); Window.wait+=Window.wait_interval

    
def text_scroll(self):
    self._index += 1
    self.label_1.setText(self.text[:self._index])  ```

Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\nomar\Dropbox\Code\test2.py", line 75, in button_press QTimer.singleShot(3000, self.text == (f"Changed Again."))

Solved. Had to set the next text change as a function: ``` def change(self):

Window.text_display(self)

def button_press(self):
    Window.wait = 25
    Window.wait_interval = 25
    self.text = (f"Change {Window.wait}."); Window.text_display(self)
    QTimer.singleShot(3000, lambda: Window.wait == 25)
    QTimer.singleShot(3000, lambda: Window.change(self)) ```

QMenuBar.addMenu(menu) appends a QMenu object (menu) to a menu bar object. It returns the action associated with this menu.

Is there a way to have QTimer update an existing variable? Something like this: QTimer.singleShot(3500, lambda: Window.new_text = "update")

You can't use a lambda there, just do ```py

So have a gui where the primary widget is a canvas. How would I keep the focus on the canvas when I interact with the other widgets, so that I dont have to reclick on a canvas to access the keypress events associated with it? Tried setFocus and focusWidget whenever I have any other interactions but I still have to reclick on the canvas to access the keyboard events

Maybe binding the key press to the parent frame of the canvas would work better.

How do I get my app ui to look good?

I've looked at the python gui frameworks but all of them look pretty dated

[tawdry mulch]

depends on your skill TBH

You could make a tkinter gui look modern

also pyqt supports style sheets so it can be also made modern quite easily

[drowsy hollow]

Im still a relative beginner to python

I've done data processing before

but its my first time taking on app development

man its confusing

[drowsy hollow]

How?

[tawdry mulch]

Its not easy, but its possible

[drowsy hollow]

I guess for now im looking for a gui framework that can look good and not overly complex

[tawdry mulch]

Not complex? Then PyQT might do it

[drowsy hollow]

Alright I'll give it a shot, thanks

[drowsy hollow]

Is there a place to check which pyqt6 commands do what? I'm looking at the documentation and it I'm lost

Sure

how can i print the sum of num1 and num2, because the sum function print num1 num2 as string

i want print the sum as entire

Just label = Label(window, text=int(e1.get())+int(e2.get())).grid(row=2, column=0)

ok

thank you very much

it's work

[tawdry mulch]

You can remove stuff like num1, num2 bla bla, its pointless @crude nacelle

[crude nacelle]

yes, yes

[tawdry mulch]

But to talk about a better code, create the Label outside and use config() on it to update the text

[lime monolith]

When you are doing

int(num1)```
it does not alter num1 you need to store the result
```py
num1 = int(num1)```

Sorry to bother but is it fine if i switch to pyside?

pyqt is better

there were some stuff where things just didnt work in pyside

as soon as i changed the imports to pyqt, they started working

pyside seems easier to pick up though

there's better learning materials imo

Ok I want to move a table widget, but it doesn't move also I am using pyqt5 here is the code: ```py

header.setSectionResizeMode(1, QtWidgets.QHeaderView.Stretch)
tableWidget.move(400,575)

#initialzing table
tableWidget.doubleClicked.connect(getSelectedItemData)
layout.addWidget(tableWidget)
qwidget.setLayout(layout)
qwidget.show()```

[lime monolith]

tableWidget is added to a layout

layout.addWidget(tableWidget)```
that is controlling where it is positioned.

[fading basin]

I'd use a custom pyqtSignal() which would emit once you're done processing/sleeping.

I'm making a tkinter (python 3.9 Windows 10) app and I want it to be like an overlay on top of Minecraft's fullscreen window mode. How can I achieve that? self.wm_attributes("-topmost", True) doesn't seem to be working on Minecraft.

[lofty pond]

Its probably cause it is fullscreened, if you are thinking like the other overlays, like statsify, I think they draw on the the minecraft window

[mighty rock]

How do they work?

[lofty pond]

Drawing directly to the window is what I am thinking, but I don't know for certain

[digital rose]

one thing you can try is to forcibly tell a toplevel to stay on top of any window, and not let it lose focus if you try to minimize it. you can try this approach.

from tkinter import Tk, Toplevel

root = Tk()
top = Toplevel(root)
top.geometry('400x400+30+30') # just to set size and coordinates of the toplevel

top.focus_set() # add focus to the toplevel window
top.grab_set()

top.title('Overlay')
top.wm_attributes('-topmost', 1)
top.resizable(0, 0)

# make the root window disappear, so you can only see the popup toplevel.
root.wm_attributes('-alpha', 0.0)

root.mainloop()

one thing is, that the root window is only hidden, it can be removed by killing the compiler task in the task manager.

and, if you want to make the native window borders disappear, you can do this:

top.overrideredirect(1)

[inland carbon]

hello

im very new to tkinter and im wondering how i would go about creating a button that would change the text of an existing label

[digital rose]

You could use config() to change text of a label. Look at this example:

import tkinter as tk
from random import randint

def change_text():
    global label
    new_text=randint(0,255)
    label.config(text=new_text)

root=tk.Tk()

button=tk.Button(root, text='Change!', command=change_text)
button.pack()

label=tk.Label(root, text='0')
label.pack()

root.mainloop()

[opal mulch]

But if you set the focus to that window, would you still be able to play Minecraft or do something else?

[digital rose]

let's say for instance, you run this program, and the toplevel pops up. if you're on windows, you could alt-tab to minecraft, and simply continue. the toplevel here just keeps itself on the top, unless you close it. and, when you get directed to minecraft, the toplevel would lose focus, and you can operate on minecraft.

but, this doesnt restrict you to using hotkeys like alt-tab. you can always switch to any application.

[opal mulch]

but can i still see the overlay?

[digital rose]

yes.

it only hides the root window, not the toplevel.

[opal mulch]

ok thank you!

unfortunately it still doesnt work when i go fullscreen in mc

[digital rose]

Can you show a screenshot?

[digital rose]

Try alt-tabbing back to the tkinter top-level.

[opal mulch]

it just minimizes minecraft

can a different library work?

like, would pyqt5 work if i try to do this?

[digital rose]

Tkinter does have an extension for this.

[opal mulch]

oh

[digital rose]

But I'm not sure how Minecraft handles it's fullscreen mode. Maybe it doesn't allow anything to overlay. Some downloadable overlays for Minecraft might be rendering on the native window using Java. Again, I'm not completely sure.

[opal mulch]

there is this overlay that uses tkinter too and it allows fullscreen mode

[opal mulch]

what is the extension

[digital rose]

overlay. yes that is the name. you can get it by the following command:

pip install overlay

it uses tkinter.

import tkinter as tk
from overlay import Window

root = Window()
Window.launch()

https://pypi.org/project/overlay/
@opal mulch

[opal mulch]

ok thanks ill check!

[digital rose]

it pretty much uses the same concept as in my previous code.

[opal mulch]

well it doesnt seem to work with minecraft thank you anyways for trying to help

[digital rose]

Then Minecraft must be forcing focus when it's fullscreened. Maybe try writing a plugin in Java then, that could write to the native Minecraft window.

[tawdry mulch]

Some games take full focus wen full screen, any type of other focus will make it minized

Not sure, but if minecraft has a fullscreen borderless mode, it might work

Can someone help me with a random picker thing using tkinter? I am just trying to put some stuff together right now.

import random
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
w = tk.Tk()
root.title("Random Picker")
w.title("Random Picker Result")
root.geometry("600x400")
w.geometry("600x400")

stuff = ["Hi", "Bye", "Goodbye", "Hello", "Greetings"]
test = ["1", "2", "3"]
  
def callback(input):
      
    if input == "Test" or "test":
        tk.Label(w, text = random.choice(test))
        return True
                          
    elif input == "Stuff" or "stuff":
        tk.Label(w, text = random.choice(stuff))
        return True
  
    else:
        tk.Label(w, text = "I don't seem to have that set in my list.")
        return False

def button1():
    inp = e.get(1.0, "end-1c")
    tk.Label(w, text = inp)

button = tk.Button(root, text = "Pick from set", command = callback)
e = tk.Entry(root)
e.place(x = 235, y = 50)
reg = root.register(callback)
  
e.config(validate ="key", 
         validatecommand =(reg, '% P'))

button.pack()

[nocturne breach]

Anyone have any good resources for creating good UI designs? I'm confident with my backend coding but when it comes to front-end I'm absolutely hopeless - I know tkinter but need some practice going from boring grey-scale to modern, clean etc.

Or are there some better packages/frameworks for frontend design other than Tkinter?

[ivory ember]

Look into PyQt5, more complicated, but well worth it.

[tawdry mulch]

What do you get

[tawdry mulch]

PyQT, Kivy

You can also check out https://github.com/nihaalnz/mtk I try to make it look cool, but ya...

[lime monolith]

I see this, might be worth a look
https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/o07cdw/look_at_this_beauty_created_in_pure_python_using/

[tawdry mulch]

What is your intention with this code

[sharp scarab]

I said it in the first part.

[tawdry mulch]

global is used there right

[tawdry mulch]

It is actually quite simple, you are not calling the function

[lime monolith]

Get rid of Global and refactor using classes

[tawdry mulch]

Why so? It does not solve the issue anyway

[sharp scarab]

@tawdry mulch my code is to make a random picker where you can choose from some preset lists.

[tawdry mulch]

Okay just a min, ill take a look once I am done with the first code

[sharp scarab]

Okay.

[tawdry mulch]

I would do something like:

[tawdry mulch]

from pickle import PickleBuffer
from tkinter import Label, filedialog,Tk,Entry,Button
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

screen = Tk()
screen.geometry("900x600")
Pictures = []
Index = 0

def UploadImage():
    fileSelected = filedialog.askopenfilenames(initialdir="/",title="Select",filetypes=(("png files",".png"),("All Files", "*.*")))
    
    for Item in fileSelected:
        ImageDuplication(Item)

def ImageDuplication(image):
    FillUpFormFresh = Image.open(image).resize((230,240), Image.ANTIALIAS)
    FillUpFormFinished = ImageTk.PhotoImage(FillUpFormFresh)
    Label(screen, image=FillUpFormFinished).pack()
    Pictures.append(FillUpFormFinished)

Button = Button(screen, text="upload image", command=UploadImage).pack()

screen.mainloop()

• The thing is you do not have to append the file path to a new list

• Instead loop through the fileSelected tuple itself.

• Then you need to store the ImageTk inside a list, as using global just overwrites the existing image and does hold reference to the last image only

• Take a look at PEP8 to know how to conventionally name variables and functions in python

[tawdry mulch]

Can you explain a bit more

Okay after a bit of code reading, you are trying to pick an item from list based on user input

[sharp scarab]

Yeah.

[tawdry mulch]

So my question is, do you have to call the function each time something is entered onto the entry widget? Or wait for the button press

[sharp scarab]

Not sure, my code is just other code bashed together to make something that kind of works. I'm not on pc rn but it either just printed the first if statement or an error like: expected argument input.

[tawdry mulch]

Anyway ill re write the code so that it works the way the code was meant to be working when written

[sharp scarab]

Okay.

[tawdry mulch]

Based on the given code, here is something that I think is what you want:

import random
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
w = tk.Tk()
root.title("Random Picker")
w.title("Random Picker Result")
root.geometry("600x400")
w.geometry("600x400")

stuff = ["Hi", "Bye", "Goodbye", "Hello", "Greetings"]
test = ["1", "2", "3"]
  
var = tk.StringVar(root)

def callback(*args): # A function to call every time something is entered into entry
    if var.get() in ("Test", "test"):
        w1.config(text = random.choice(test))
                          
    elif var.get() in ("Stuff", "stuff"):
        w1.config(text = random.choice(stuff))

    else:
        w1.config(text = "I don't seem to have that set in my list.")


button = tk.Button(root, text = "Pick from set", command=callback)
e = tk.Entry(root, textvariable=var) # Assigning the textvariable 
e.pack()

w1 = tk.Label(w) # Creating an initial label and later updating it inside the function
w1.pack()

var.trace('w',callback) # To trigger the func everytime var is written/changed

button.pack()
root.mainloop()

This points that the button is useless, unless ofc you have some hidden motive behind it

[delicate pier]

Hello guys, I dont want to be rude and make use of you people but I really need help. Its end of a year and we have to make chessboard ( 8x8 ) in tkinter, but I dont know nothing about python ( cause of online classes :/ ). If someone could really help i would be very thankful. Size of the box is 50.

[tawdry mulch]

50 what? pixel or ...?

[delicate pier]

Yeah it should be pixels

[tawdry mulch]

That's a weird requirement to give? Is it a school? have you been taught documentation?

[tawdry mulch]

I did write an answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/67432906/13382000 which is pretty similar, and you should be able to(hopefully) modify it to make it work with your case

[delicate pier]

Yes its for school, I tried to learn it last week but i always end up confused with it.

[delicate pier]

Thank you

Why go through the trouble of making a class for images with label?

Because it makes the code shorter? Meh, but I'll give it to ya

[tawdry mulch]

Well if you couldnt figure it out, here is a much simpler/better code:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
img  = PhotoImage(width=1,height=1) # To force the label to use pixels for measuring width/height
side = 50

for i in range(8): # Loop a total of 64 times
    for j in range(8):
        if i%2 == 0: # Check for even rows
            if j%2 == 0: # Check even columns
                Label(root,image=img,height=side,width=side,bg='black').grid(row=i,column=j)
            else:
                Label(root,image=img,height=side,width=side,bg='white').grid(row=i,column=j)
        else: # Do the opposite of the if statement
            if j%2 == 0:
                Label(root,image=img,height=side,width=side,bg='white').grid(row=i,column=j)
            else:
                Label(root,image=img,height=side,width=side,bg='black').grid(row=i,column=j)

root.mainloop()

[delicate pier]

Thank you so much, you probably saved my grades. 😄

[delicate pier]

I just need one more help, my teacher texted me : Create a program that draws a target composed of circles colored alternately black and white
color. Load the radius of the largest circle, each additional circle has a radius of 10 smaller. Rendering
ends when the radius is less than 15.

[tawdry mulch]

HINT: Look into canvas

[proven basin]

Hey @delicate pier!

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

[delicate pier]

import random
canvas = tkinter.Canvas()
canvas.pack()

a = 5
b = 1
c = 1
while c == 1:
    if(b % 2 == 1):
        canvas.create_oval(50+(b*a), 50+(b*a), 150-(b*a), 150-(b*a), fill='black')
    else:
        canvas.create_oval(50+(b*a), 50+(b*a), 150-(b*a), 150-(b*a), fill='white')
    b = b + 1
    polomer = (150-(b*a)) -(50+(b*a))
    polomer = polomer / 2
    print(polomer)
    if(polomer < 15):
        c = 0

my classmate did this I just need to replace something but have the same result. I dont understand python much so I ask you guys..

[tawdry mulch]

Do not have to complicate it SO MUCH

[hexed spear]

how would i put a icon for my .PY file?

[tawdry mulch]

Ummm you might want to make it to an exe and then put an icon to it?

[hexed spear]

how would i convert it? sorry im kinda new

[tawdry mulch]

Let google be your friend, plenty of examples there

[hexed spear]

aight

[tawdry mulch]

Just a hacky way around:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

canvas = Canvas(root)
canvas.pack()

def create_circle(cnv, x, y , r):
    cnv.create_oval(x-r,y-r,x+r,y+r,width=10)

for i in range(5):
    create_circle(canvas,100,100,i*20,)

root.mainloop()

[delicate pier]

Tysm again 🙂

[tawdry mulch]

remember it is just a hacky way around it is not perfect and is just looking alternate in appearence

[tawdry mulch]

Ah, here is example that is replicates the image:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

canvas = Canvas(root)
canvas.pack()

def create_circle(cnv, x, y , r, fill):
    cnv.create_oval(x-r,y-r,x+r,y+r,width=10,fill=fill,outline=fill)

for i in range(8,0,-1):
    if i%2 == 0:
        create_circle(canvas,200,150,i*20,'black')
    elif i == 1:
        create_circle(canvas,200,150,i*20,'black')
    else:
        create_circle(canvas,200,150,i*20,'white')
root.mainloop()

[cobalt owl]

How do i get both string and argument printed ? Oo self.label.append("Class rank:", last_names[1])

[tawdry mulch]

Where is this used?

[cobalt owl]

hey, in a pyqt5 gui

into a textbrowser

[tawdry mulch]

What is argument? @cobalt owl

[cobalt owl]

index 1 in a list called last_names

[tawdry mulch]

I do not understand, what is that you want to show? Show an example of what you have vs what you expected to get

[cobalt owl]

@tawdry mulch

the code i works fine in python terminal but not when appending into the gui

i can get list into it fine, but not get any kind of text infront of the numbers

[tawdry mulch]

Ha okay hope someone gets back to you

[ivory ember]

can I see your code?

[royal aurora]

Hey, I have 2 images, one is above the other and it's a circle. It's supossed to draw the circle (image) according to the timer. I have an image here to explain it better. Where can I get some help?

[digital rose]

Any good libs

[tawdry mulch]

which library are you using

[tawdry mulch]

tkinter, pyQT, Kivy

[cunning sapphire]

Hello. I am trying text editor in python and curses. Here is the link to my code. https://paste.pythondiscord.com/natikagila.py. I want to display all the contents of the file. It gets displayed only to the window size. Also I am unable to move the cursor right and left. Could you help me as to where I might have gone wrong. Thank you.

[digital rose]

It works but nothing shows up

[digital rose]

I see that you appended the Finished image in the list and not the directory

[tawdry mulch]

directory?

[digital rose]

the "FillUpFormFinished = ImageTk.PhotoImage(FillUpFormFresh)"

[tawdry mulch]

It works right

[digital rose]

Yep it actually worked

but with better output

So in other words, Thank you very much

[cobalt owl]

@ivory ember sure, here it is: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/icosisifiw.rb i need a workaround for line #39 så it works like 37 and 38 combined ^^

[ivory ember]

did u try an f string?

[tawdry mulch]

I think you need something like self.label.append(f"Class rank: {stats[1]}") or self.label.append("Class rank: "+stats[1]) like suggested by @ivory ember

[versed vessel]

Hey there I'm trying to detect the user resolution with tkinter but it does not detect it correctly, my resolution is 1920x1080 but it detects 1280x720.

# Set high DPI
        ctypes.windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(2)

        # TODO: Build for 1920x1080, 1366x768 and 800x500 (for now)
        # Get current resolution

        #Get the current screen width and height
        self.screen_resolution = f"{self.app.winfo_screenwidth()}x{self.app.winfo_screenheight()}"

        print('[App-Log] Detected resolution: ' + str(self.screen_resolution))
        self.app.geometry(self.screen_resolution)
        self.app.resizable(False, False)

Output

[App-Log] Detected resolution: 1280x720

[tawdry mulch]

Tried removing ctypes.windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(2) ?

[steady dew]

how do i get the value of the specific parameter of an element in pysimplegui?

[tawdry mulch]

Seems pretty basic? Have you tried googling?

[steady dew]

i have but i didnt understand the only result

it talks abt metadata and stuff

but i couldnt understand it

[tawdry mulch]

I'm sorry, I dont use pysimplegui.

[steady dew]

alr thx anyways

[versed vessel]

Alright

Still nothing

I don't know what happened, it used to detect my actual resolution lol

[sharp scarab]

Thanks, just tried it and it works.

[tawdry mulch]

Try going to settings and making sure your resolution is 1920x1080

[versed vessel]

It is

it is on 150% zoom tho

[tawdry mulch]

I dont think that matters

[versed vessel]

Ohh

Yes it does lol

[tawdry mulch]

Mine is on a higher zoom too, but I get proper results

[versed vessel]

I just switched it to 100% and now it detects 1920x1080

Let me restart my laptop

Nothing

[tawdry mulch]

Is zoom 100?

[versed vessel]

No

It looks weird, and Windows itself recommends it on 150%

I'll hard code it so it opens on 1920x1080 instead of the detected resolution, for now.

[tawdry mulch]

dual monitors?

[versed vessel]

Nah

Just a laptop, last time I plugged my 720p Tv im not using it right now, the HDMI port is free

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmmm maybe the driver is kicking in?

[tawdry mulch]

Try this:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.state('zoomed')
root.update()
w,h = root.winfo_width(), root.winfo_height()
print(w,h)

[versed vessel]

K

It opens it maximized but the output still is 1280x720

Output

class Application():
    def __init__(self, app):
        #Define variables
        self.app = app
        self.space_presses = 0

        self.connected = False

        #Get the current screen width and height
        self.screen_resolution = f"{self.app.winfo_screenwidth()}x{self.app.winfo_screenheight()}"


        # ! My screen resolution is detected as 1280x720, hardcode temporalily just do develop.

        self.app.update()
        self.app.geometry('1920x1080')
        self.app.resizable(False, False)

That's the code

[tawdry mulch]

That actually means the resolution is 1280x720

[versed vessel]

Lol

But it is 1920x1080

[tawdry mulch]

I doubt

[versed vessel]

And it used to print it

[tawdry mulch]

You might have changed some settings

You said the window is full screen, so it should now print the size of the window which will be the size of screen too

[versed vessel]

But when i open the app in 1920x1080 it opens it on the whole screen so the screen is 1920x1080

[tawdry mulch]

Are the close and minimize buttons still on top right corner?

[versed vessel]

Yeah

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm

Try this:

import ctypes
import tkinter as tk

class Application():
    def __init__(self, app):
        #Define variables
        self.app = app
        self.space_presses = 0

        self.connected = False
        self.app_version = '0.3.0-beta'

        # Window setup
        # TODO: Set state as fullscreen when releasing the project. Comment this so UI creation is easier.
        # Initialize windows as fullscreen

        self.screen_resolution = f"{self.app.winfo_screenwidth()}x{self.app.winfo_screenheight()}"


        # ! My screen resolution is detected as 1280x720, hardcode temporalily just do develop. 
        print('[App-Log] Detected resolution: ' + str(self.screen_resolution))
        self.app.state('zoomed')
        self.app.update()
        # self.app.geometry('1920x1080')
        w,h = self.app.winfo_width(),self.app.winfo_height()
        print(w,h)
        self.app.resizable(False, False)


root = tk.Tk()

Application(root)

root.mainloop()

[versed vessel]

Alright

[versed vessel]

1920x986

Don't know what you did but thank you!

[versed vessel]

I'll try to run this on another computer, just to check if the same problem happens

[sterile dove]

Would anyone know why my button in tkinter is running its command as soon as I create the Gui?

[versed vessel]

Can you show us code?

[sterile dove]

Sure

[versed vessel]

So this is why it was showing 1280x720: https://1902software.com/blog/screen-resolution/

[tawdry mulch]

Because you are probably using () after the function name

[tawdry mulch]

lol nice

[sterile dove]

Yep, that's probably it. Is there a way to pass args to a command within a button without running the command?

[tawdry mulch]

lambda: func(*args)

[versed vessel]

use lambda: function(params)

[sterile dove]

That works! Thanks so much.

[versed vessel]

What do you think its better? Should i detect the screen resolution automatically and if any errors happen, the user can change it on the settings or should you ask every time before running the app which resolution you want?

Sorry for the ping too

[tawdry mulch]

I personally don't work with resolutions, its just not worth it using tkinter but if you want, then ask the user to pick the resolution or you can also ask them the zoom(scale) given and then divide by that scale, like in the website

[versed vessel]

Asking for the resolution imo is more user friendly

That's why I wanted to learn Kivy but I couldn't understand it

Like there can't be empty space on the window

[sterile dove]

One more question, I can't tell if ScrolledText from tkinter accepts textvariable as an arg, and if it doesn't, how do I store text from it?

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm maybe

[tawdry mulch]

It does not

if ScrolledText is stored in text, then text.get('1.0','end')

[sterile dove]

I don't quite understand.

[tawdry mulch]

My bad, check it again

[sterile dove]

        modules_label.pack(fill="x", expand=True)
        modules_box = ScrolledText(self, textvariable=modules, width=40, height=101)
        modules_box.pack(ipady=20, fill="x", expand=True)

        separator_label = ttk.Label(self, text="Separator:")
        separator_label.pack(fill="x", expand=True)
        separator_box = ttk.Entry(self, textvariable=separator)
        separator_box.pack()```

[tawdry mulch]

Use modules_box.get('1.0','end') or 'end-1c' depending upon your needs

[sterile dove]

Ah, I get it now.

[tawdry mulch]

Read the documentation, everything you need is there 🙂

[sterile dove]

Could you link me where I would find specifically ScrolledText documentation? I can't really find it and don't want to ask more questions here when I could just read.

[tawdry mulch]

[tawdry mulch]

You can use a normal Text documentations, its the same thing, just that it has a scrollbar

[sterile dove]

Ah, thanks.

[versed vessel]

How can i make so my app window initalizes in the center of the screen?

[tawdry mulch]

There are plenty of tutorials already, ALOT tbh

[cobalt owl]

@tawdry mulch @ivory ember awsome, f'string wouldnt work but +stats did 🙂 thanks guys

[sterile dove]

Another tkinter question: My horizontal scrollbar works, but is too big, and I suspect it's from how I packed it. Any ideas?

        modules_label.pack(fill="x", expand=True)
        modules_box = ScrolledText(self, width=10, height=10, wrap=tk.NONE)
        modules_box.pack(ipady=20, fill="x", expand=True)
        modules_scrollbar = ttk.Scrollbar(self, orient='horizontal', command=modules_box.xview)
        modules_scrollbar.pack(fill="x", expand=True)```

[digital rose]

You just put in fill = 'x' which makes it fill the window horizontally. if you pack it without this command, it should give you a shrunken scrollbar. It would still work, though.

[sterile dove]

What's the difference between fill='x' and pack = 'x'?

[digital rose]

oops, a typo. I meant fill='x'. It does not have a pack option.

[spring turtle]

anyone know how to reduce the distance between 2 tkinter Labels

i want to reduce the distance between these as its supposed to be one sentence

[tawdry mulch]

Can you show the code?

[spring turtle]

ok

wait a sec

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
import game_mechanics

def update_all():
    global repteria
    repteria+=1
    rep_str = str(repteria)
    repValue_text.config(text = rep_str)
    root.after(50, update_all)

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("The Game")
root.configure(background = 'black')
root.geometry(('600x600'))
tabControl = ttk.Notebook(root)

tab1 = tk.Frame(tabControl, background = 'black')
tab2 = tk.Frame(tabControl, background = 'black')
help_tab = tk.Frame(tabControl, background = 'black')

tabControl.add(tab1, text ='Repteria')
tabControl.add(tab2, text ='Infinity')
tabControl.add(help_tab, text ='Help')
tabControl.pack(expand = 1, fill ="both")

repteria = 1
rep_str = 'Repteria:'+str(repteria)

tk.Label(tab1, text = 'You have', bg='black', fg='white', font=(None, 15)).grid(column = 0, row = 0,padx = 30,pady = 30)
repValue_text = tk.Label(tab1, bg='black', fg='#ff2f2f', font=(None, 25))
repValue_text.grid(column = 1, row = 0,padx = 30,pady = 30)
tk.Label(tab1, text = 'Repteria', bg='black', fg='white', font=(None, 15)).grid(column = 2, row = 0,padx = 30,pady = 30)

help_text = tk.Label(help_tab, text = game_mechanics.help_text, bg='black',fg='white', justify='left').grid(column = 0, row = 0, padx = 30, pady = 30)

root.after(50, update_all)
root.mainloop()

game_mechanics.help_text is just some text that explains the game(which i havent really made yet)

[tawdry mulch]

Get rid of the padx

[spring turtle]

ohhh

i totaly forgot i was manually setting the x and y

lmao

[quiet timber]

umm- can u give me a good tutorial for pyQT?

ping me when answering

[cobalt owl]

@quiet timber try 'Tech with tim' on YouTube he has a playlist for it

[quiet timber]

ok

[ebon storm]

is this in dp or sp ? (adobe xd)

[gleaming arch]

Of all the different gui libraries, is there one which is more powerful or flexible than all others?

[ivory ember]

PyQt5 ofc. It is worth mentioning that while the UI aspect is great, the Qt framework is not just meant for UI. You can do tons of things. Qt even has it's own sockets implementation.

[gleaming arch]

is it still the most powerful option if I only care about guis?

[ivory ember]

yeah

it has animations, styling with QPalette and QSS stylesheets (based off CSS), and so many attributes and methods for each kind of widget. That being said, there are tons of widgets to choose from and if you can't find one you can subclass the abstract version and/or use the painter to draw your own.

[gleaming arch]

alright sounds good

but from what I've seen, all of that is included in kivy as well

so what exactly makes you say qt is clearly the best?

[digital rose]

maybe dp

[ebon storm]

can you help me setting up ui in android studio

[digital rose]

sorry am not good at this

[ebon storm]

ohh okay

[digital rose]

[ivory ember]

I can't say I'm that good at Kivy, but from what I've seen, Qt has better documentation and it just seems simpler. Everyone's opinion is different though, so do some research, pick one, and stick with it.

[digital rose]

oh nice

I used wx

does wx good ?

[ivory ember]

That's your own opinion chief

[ebon storm]

@digital rose how can i make that box behind password text

white box

in android studio

[digital rose]

sorry I bad at Android Studio

[digital rose]

[ebon storm]

ohhh nooo

you know someone who can help me out at this time

[digital rose]

[fading basin]

Hey I am encountering a import error how do I solve this ? here is the error: py ImportError: cannot import name 'Qt' from 'PyQt5.QtGui'

[lucid fjord]

I am looking to make a instagram-like social media app with python (so probably going with kivy), where can I learn how to do that?

[ivory ember]

the Qt base class is imported from QtCore NOT QtGui

[opal mulch]

Can someone explain or send a tutorial about how to use swap buffer using opengl and python?

[tawdry mulch]

IDK how to reply to this, search youtube? google

[quiet timber]

umm

[ivory ember]

tbh you do not "learn how to do that". You must combine multiple frameworks on the backend and frontend while also creating graphics, server storage, etc. In order to do that, and it is possible, you would need to learn quite a bit. You stated you would go with Kivy, so I suggest learning that first.

[quiet timber]

i started learning pyqt5, is it good?

[ivory ember]

It's your own opinion my man, imo PyQt5 is the best.

[quiet timber]

i mean is it recommended?

[ivory ember]

I'd recommend it

[quiet timber]

i just chose that cuz saw it in the channel topic

[quiet timber]

ohk

[ivory ember]

Has some of the strongest UI customization. QSS (similar to CSS), QPalette for colors/gradients, animation, custom widgets you can draw with QPainter or subclass from an abstract base class. This is just UI. The Qt framework can also be used for the backend.

[quiet timber]

how can i set a window so it cant be resized

in pyQt5

[plain elbow]

self.setFixedSize(640, 480)

@quiet timber

[quiet timber]

ok~

[quiet timber]

self is a QMainWindow instance right?

[plain elbow]

Yes

[quiet timber]

thanks

worked

[trail stirrup]

What are the best and easiest frameworks where I can make good looking apps with Python like material ui in JavaScript? I have used Tkinter but it looks kinda outdated imo.

[slate maple]

which is better?

[sudden coral]

Second one

[slate maple]

thanks

[slate maple]

to be sure you mean this right?

[edgy kestrel]

Consider adding a maximum width to it, i dont think it needs to be that wide

[slate maple]

ok thanks

[edgy kestrel]

Looking good

[slate maple]

i used bootstrap for everything. the buttons panel at bottom has fixed-bottom class and the content behind it get covered how do i make it scrollable?

[feral abyss]

Hello guys i got a problem with tkinter, if i blick on a button the function will just trigger if my mainwindow loop is closed. How can i call a function in tkinter meanwhile my mainloop is still running?

[tawdry mulch]

code please

[feral abyss]

@tawdry mulch ```py
from tkinter import *

def click():
print("Clicked")
entries = []
date_entry = DateEntry.get()
target_date = TargetDateEntry.get()
contract_number = ContractDateEntry.get()

Erzeuge das Fenster

window = Tk()
window.title("RPA Gui")

Date

Label(window,text="Datum",font="none 12 bold").grid(row=0,column=0,sticky=W)
DateEntry = Entry(window,width=20,bg="white")
DateEntry.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky=W)

Target Date

Label(window,text="Target Date",font="none 12 bold").grid(row=2,column=0,sticky=W)
TargetDateEntry = Entry(window,width=20,bg="white")
TargetDateEntry.grid(row=3,column=0,sticky=W)

Contract number

Label(window,text="Kontraktnummer",font="none 12 bold").grid(row=4,column=0,sticky=W)
ContractDateEntry = Entry(window,width=20,bg="white")
ContractDateEntry.grid(row=5,column=0,sticky=W)

Submit Button

Button(window,text="Submit",width=16,command=click).grid(row=6,column=0,sticky=W)

if name == 'main':
window.mainloop()```

it is running on a windowserver and the function only gets called after i close the window

[tawdry mulch]

It works fine for me

[feral abyss]

yeah on my pc aswell but now on the windows server..

i have no idea why

well, it was a gitbash issue

[tawdry mulch]

and...

[cursive sentinel]

im using qt designer studio

and i wanna learn how to make a image clickable or make button with custom image

[tawdry mulch]

This is User interface channel related to python only

[cursive sentinel]

im using pyside6 in it

[tawdry mulch]

But qt design studio does not use python

Anyway if someone knows this, they can help you

[digital rose]

What is the best UI libery for python

[ivory ember]

PyQt5

[digital rose]

Why is it best? What is its benefits?

[ivory ember]

Has some of the strongest UI customization. QSS (similar to CSS), QPalette for colors/gradients, animation, custom widgets you can draw with QPainter or subclass from an abstract base class. This is just UI. The Qt framework can also be used for the backend.

Quite a bit of it is preference, so I suggest you look around and pick a framework. I also think PyQt5 is the best as you can do so much with it and the community and tutorials are alright

[digital rose]

Thanks😃

[ivory ember]

Hello

Using Tkinter I made Window (A) then using almost the same code I made Window (B) in another .py file

I want to make a Main window without Window A and B variables clash

[lime monolith]

I'm not entirely sure what you are after without seeing your code, maybe the following example will help

import tkinter as tk


class MainWindow(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.windowa = None
        self.windowb = None
        btn1 = tk.Button(self, text="WindowA", command=self.on_btn1)
        btn1.pack(padx=5, pady=5)
        btn2 = tk.Button(self, text="WindowB", command=self.on_btn2)
        btn2.pack(padx=5, pady=5)

    def on_btn1(self):
        self.windowa = self.open_window(
            self.windowa, 'WindowA', self.on_windowa_close)

    def on_btn2(self):
        self.windowb = self.open_window(
            self.windowb, 'WindowB', self.on_windowb_close)

    def open_window(self, window_variable, name, close_handler):
        if window_variable:
            window_variable.tkraise()
        else:
            window_variable = TopLevelWindow(self)
            window_variable.label.config(text=name)
            window_variable.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW', close_handler)
        return window_variable

    def on_windowa_close(self):
        self.windowa.destroy()
        self.windowa = None

    def on_windowb_close(self):
        self.windowb.destroy()
        self.windowb = None


class TopLevelWindow(tk.Toplevel):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.label = tk.Label(self)
        self.label.pack(padx=5, pady=5)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main_window = MainWindow()
    main_window.mainloop()```

[ivory abyss]

@lime monolith Thank you !

[gaunt plume]

Need a recommendation here. Which one is better? Kivy or PyQT5?

In terms of performance and functionality

[tawdry mulch]

PyQT5, also depends on how you use it

[shut pine]

how come this guy doesnt need to declare the global variable (defined in the function) in the global scope

but my code gives this error

[cobalt owl]

I want to read a log file, new lines appear at the bottom and those are the ones i want to append into a pyqt5 textbox, whats the right way to go? guessing Qthread is just for background tasks

[tawdry mulch]

Show more code please

I doubt if it is an error or a warning

[tawdry mulch]

Hi

What is the problem?

Then? What do you need help with

Are you asking us to write code for you?

Every thing you need is actually in the documentation of Text

[tawdry mulch]

Anyway here is the key to what you need @hollow reef

Something like https://anzeljg.github.io/rin2/book2/2405/docs/tkinter/text.html

[sturdy skiff]

With PySide6/assuming PyQt/Pyside in general, it seems like this is a common issue on Mac OS:

qt.qpa.fonts: Populating font family aliases took 416 ms. Replace uses of missing font family "M" with one that exists to avoid this cost.

Caused by even using fonts that are common
font = QtGui.QFont('Monospace', 11)

I temporary have font.setStyleHint(QtGui.Font.Monospace) for a monospace font but wondering if theres a solution to the 'missing font'

[rain jetty]

I need help with PyQt5

Im trying to make an action on a tool bar make the window turn full screen
and when pressed, would change so it made the window normal again

It does this but,
After pressing the action a couple times, it makes the window go to full screen and back to normal
multiple times after one click

my code:

    def exitFullScreen(self):
        self.showNormal()
        self.fullScreen.setIcon(QIcon(QPixmap(full_screen_icon)))
        self.fullScreen.triggered.connect(self.enterFullScreen)
        self.fullScreen.setShortcut("Ctrl+F")
        self.home.setDisabled(False)

    def enterFullScreen(self):
        self.showFullScreen()
        self.fullScreen.setIcon(QIcon(QPixmap(exit_full_screen_icon)))
        self.fullScreen.triggered.connect(self.exitFullScreen)
        self.fullScreen.setShortcut('Esc')
        self.home.setDisabled(True)

lmk if you need more code

Im using PyQt 5.15.2

[lucid sky]

Hello!

[tawdry mulch]

hi

[frosty fiber]

https://github.com/InZane84/WADdle-Plot-CLI/blob/master/waddle_plot_main.py how would I implement a 'progress bar' that updates while the map is plotting to the Canvas? Using tkinter...

do I need a seperate thread for the progress bar ?

https://hastebin.com/canewoduyi.lua plot function

I'm totally new to the concept of 'threads'. Is it even possible while inside the mainloop? how would this be done?

the plot function is 'blocking' so, idk...

[tawdry mulch]

Well without looking at the code, you could create a thread and keep the non tkinter functions inside it and then check if the thread is alive, if yes keep showing the progressbar @frosty fiber

[orchid stump]

my code:

from tkinter import *

def raise_frame(frame):
    #button.config(state=DISABLED)
    frame.tkraise()
#and how can i make a function so when I press a button it will be disabled until I press another one
root = Tk()
root.geometry("500x600")

f0 = Frame(root).grid(row=0,column=0)
f1 = Frame(root,width=500,height=200)
f2 = Frame(root,width=500,height=200)
f3 = Frame(root,width=500,height=200)
#after giving the frames dimentions the 2 of the 3 buttons i placed wont show up

for frame in (f1, f2, f3):
    frame.grid(row=1,column=0, sticky='news')

button_A=Button(f0, text='מחזור א', command=lambda:raise_frame(f1)).grid(row=0,column=2)

button_B=Button(f0, text='מחזור ב', command=lambda:raise_frame(f2)).grid(row=0,column=1)

button_C=Button(f0, text='מחזור ג', command=lambda:raise_frame(f3)).grid(row=0,column=0)

raise_frame(f1)
root.mainloop()

1.after giving the frames dimensions the 2 of the 3 buttons i placed wont show up
2.and how can i make a function so when I press a button it will be disabled until I press another one
3. how can I push the buttons to the top right side of the screen?(instead of top left)

[tawdry mulch]

Something like this can be helpfull:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import time, threading

root = Tk()

def wait():
    time.sleep(8) # Some job, any job

def update():
    if not thread.is_alive():
        prog.stop()
    
    root.after(500,update)

prog = ttk.Progressbar(root,mode='indeterminate')
prog.pack()

thread = threading.Thread(target=wait)
thread.start()
prog.start()
update()

root.mainloop()

[tawdry mulch]

To begin with, your frame, f0 is None, so the widgets are placed in root and not inside the frame

[orchid stump]

f0 = Frame(root).grid(row=0,column=0)

how can i make it so it is not none

[tawdry mulch]

Yea it should be:

f0 = Frame(root)
f0.grid(row=0,column=0)

[orchid stump]

does it matter? sorry i am a beginner

[tawdry mulch]

Yea, that is the reason your f0 is None.

In python, when you say x = a().b() the value of x will be whatever is returned by b(), now look here f0 = Frame(root).grid(row=0,column=0) the value of f0 will be whatever is returned by grid(...) and grid()/pack()/place() always returns None, so f0 is None.

[orchid stump]

thanks!, now all the buttons are displayed

i saw it in a tutorial, i was surprised aswell

[tawdry mulch]

Ah, its a common beginner mistake(even I spent hours when I was starting), I recommend you not to blindly follow tutorials and always keep asking questions 😄

[orchid stump]

thanks😀

and how can i make a function so when I press a button it will be disabled until I press another one

I understood i should use config but I am struggling on passing 2 arguments and enabling the button after i press another of the 3

[tawdry mulch]

Ah yea, its not that easy

[tawdry mulch]

let me see if I can craft an example
