[orchid stump]

ok

[tawdry mulch]

The basic idea is to create a function that accepts 3 buttons as arguments and set one button to disabled and the other 3 to normal, and then now its all the order you pass in the order of the buttons, like: @orchid stump

def disable_button(b1,b2,b3):
    b1.config(state='disabled')
    b2.config(state='normal')
    b3.config(state='normal')

Since now you need two functions to be executed, you have to specify two functions inside a list, and then those two functions will be executed one after the other

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

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

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

thanks! I will check it out

it works! thank you so much, been struggling

[tawdry mulch]

No problem 🙂

[tawdry mulch]

Recommend you to check https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ and follow it strictly, so you can write better code

[orchid stump]

I will check it out

[fading basin]

@shut pine can you help me with something

[shut pine]

yh wassup

[fading basin]

Need help are you available

as well as do you have experience with pyqt5

Also here is the problem: I want to stretch a button without having to add it in a layout how can you do that ? using pyqt5 @shut pine

[shut pine]

idk anyhting about pyqt5

just let the ppl here answer ur question lol

[fading basin]

ok thank you

I want to stretch a button without having to add it in a layout how can you do that ? using pyqt5

[spark delta]

Try changing its attribute through code

[fading basin]

I am creating a frequency table I want to stretch a button but I am encountering a problem first of all I add the button in to a layout and then stretched it but that did seem to work. second I used py QSizePolicy.Expanding that also seemed to not work I have being struggling with this for the past hour I don't know what to do and don't understand what I am doing wrong. I am using pyqt5 also here is the code: py btn = QPushButton(qwidget) btn.setText('Calculate') btn.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(155, 155,100,30)) btn.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Preferred, QSizePolicy.Expanding) btn.show() btn.clicked.connect(btn_clicked) qwidget.show()

[verbal storm]

Can someone here help me please. Why when I type different language into my tkinter entry widget it show question mark(?) ?

[spring turtle]

probably means the font hyou are using doesnt support the character

[spring turtle]

what character is it an what font are you using?

[verbal storm]

the font is something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_(Unicode_block)

it my country alphabet

[spring turtle]

i mean the font you are using in tkinter

[verbal storm]

Arial

or sometime I use times new roman

[spring turtle]

for the text where you use these characters, use the font "Khmer UI"

[verbal storm]

for some reason it still show question mark

[spring turtle]

uh

[verbal storm]

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()

text = tk.Text( root, width = 50, height = 20, font = ( 'Khmer UI', 20 ) )
text.grid()
root.mainloop()
Here my code

when I type something like ក​ it show ? even I though changed the font

[spring turtle]

i did some testing and this works

tkinter.Label(root, text = 'ក', font=('Khmer',25)).grid(row=0,column=0)

also to find the font, you can just paste the char into microsoft word and it will autoselect font

[tawdry mulch]

Is this font pre installed?

[spring turtle]

I din't have to install it so i think yes

[verbal storm]

u mean that language ? it existed in window 10 keyboard language

[tawdry mulch]

Ummm the font, the font has to be pre installed

[verbal storm]

ehh how ?

[ebon storm]

how can i get this effect in adobe or figma

[tawdry mulch]

I dont know? Install the font?

Which language are you trying to mimic

[tawdry mulch]

I'm sorry but is this related to UI with python

[ebon storm]

no i'm making it in adobe xd

[tawdry mulch]

Yea so how is it a valid question in a python server under a UI channel ?

[ebon storm]

cause i'm making ui i guess

[tawdry mulch]

Agreed, but not related to python

[ebon storm]

ohh

okay

[tawdry mulch]

But if someone knows, they can help you for sure 😄

[ebon storm]

Help please, I've decided to learn PyQT to use it for a project a professor gave us, I've been following the instructions here in https://zetcode.com/pyqt6/menustoolbars/. The code works fine but I can't get it to show the icon exit.png, I have the file in the same folder as my python file though. But it's still showing blank.

by the way this is my exit.png

I tried resizing it to 24x24 since I thought it was because it was so big, but it didn't work anyway. ://

[ivory ember]

looks like a path problem

is the "exit.png" in the same dir as the python file/project

[vital sentinel]

yes sir

As you can see, the UI Testing.py and exit.png is in the same folder.

[verbal storm]

are u using pyqt ?

[vital sentinel]

Yes

PyQt6 to be exact

[verbal storm]

There is a program that allow u to build ui work with pyqt ofc all version

[vital sentinel]

yeah Qt Designer, but I wanted to learn it by hand.

[verbal storm]

damn that a waste of time lol

[vital sentinel]

It may be haha but it would help me a lot to learn manually, since I also need to explain every detail of every line that I added.

[verbal storm]

u can use that program to learn the code from it when u dont know though so u dont need to ask everyone else

[vital sentinel]

What I just don't get is why it's not showing the Icon.

[verbal storm]

wait ops

[vital sentinel]

It needs to be an .ico file?

[verbal storm]

u mean u want it to show on label or icon of the app ?

[vital sentinel]

In here: https://zetcode.com/pyqt6/menustoolbars/#PyQt6-toolbar
I want it to be like this:

[verbal storm]

got it I will try to make it work for u

[vital sentinel]

But right now it's this...

It's just blank. There's no icon.

[vital sentinel]

Even though I have both the quit.png and the python file I'm working on in the same folder.

[verbal storm]

okeh I see the problem

the path to ur img is incorrect

[vital sentinel]

I tried changing it to /quit.png but it didn't work though.

[verbal storm]

try sth like this ./yourfolder/exit.png

i see u in get GitHub folder

[vital sentinel]

Still nada :/

[verbal storm]

can u give me the full path ?

[vital sentinel]

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\College Stuff\1st Year - 2nd Sem\CCC 101 - Computer Programming\Final Project\GitHub

tried moving both files to a different directory just now, still same results.

[verbal storm]

..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\GitHub\exit.png

that very long path

[vital sentinel]

Tried it on just the desktop. Still nada.

[verbal storm]

wait min

we use wrong slash

lol

.\yourfolder\exit.png

try this

[vital sentinel]

Can we actually use the \ in code?

[verbal storm]

yes it for dir

[vital sentinel]

Still nada

This is so annoying haha I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I just copied the code

._.

[verbal storm]

../../../../../../../../GitHub/exit.png

how abt this ?

[vital sentinel]

It worked...

But why though

exit.png should be enough what if I put it in another directory.

I have to submit this aorijgalkje

[verbal storm]

it some kind of dir thingy it depend on the library how they use it and how they want it to be

[vital sentinel]

hmm yeah I might have to import a library for file handling..

or maybe I'll learn that soon in PyQt6

Thanks!

Relative paths have to be relative to where ever the python script is being run from, to find this out, use os.getcwd()

[vital sentinel]

Ohhh I understand now.

C:\Program Files\Python 39

I was using Sublime Text 3 and a custom build system I found on stackoverflow. Seems it's running the python script from here. I Shift+Right Clicked in the same folder as the python file and typed python "UI Testing.py" there and it showed the icon correctly. Neat! Thank you!

[echo berry]

hello, I'm looking for help coding my ren'py game,

so basically, the UI of ren'Py game engine is 1920x1080, but my renders/images are widescreen 2560x1080, now I want the images to not auto scale to 1920x1080, instead, maintain the black bars on the top and bottom like how you watch movies shot in widescreen format in VLC player.
I intentionally rendered in widescreen format to give my game a 'film look' but yep, like i said, it always auto scale to 1920 x1080 and it crops so much of the image.
tag me if you have answers, thank you

hello, is there a way to make a dragable widget in tkinter

the user is able to click on it and it gets selected, then follows the users mouse until the user is dragging it and when the user releases his mouse then it s the new position of the widget

[tawdry mulch]

Did you know there is a dnd.py, drag and drop, at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\tkinter that can help you with what you need

[dim arrow]

Has anyone from here integrated python with ElectronJS? I am wondering whether I’ve picked up something that nobody uses . Just saw a couple projects on GitHub, but honestly the integration looks a bit janky. And unfortunately I am wondering about picking up the project primarily in JavaScript instead because the integration may be too janky with python .

[lime monolith]

I had not heard of Ren'py so i just looked for documents and it looks like you could use borders to add the black bars:

Hey, so i am kinda new to Python GUI, and I don't really know what framework and tools I should choose.
I would like to create a GUI with a more modern look, and if possible material design elements.
If anyone has some recommendations or tips I would greatly appreciate it.

[tawdry mulch]

I would say to start with the basics, so tkinter, learn the basics like event loop and event driven programming, then move onto advanced frameworks like PyQt and Kivy.

can you tell me, what you want to do in detail ? @verbal storm

[honest bloom]

can i post my open source github New boiler ui here? (pywebview Frameless with custom handler for resize drag and top bar)

[vital sentinel]

Can someone help me please?

[fading basin]

sorry I cant help since I am unable to import the module Calc

[vital sentinel]

I could send in the code for my Calc.

[vital sentinel]

Here's my Calc.py = https://paste.pythondiscord.com/obetijovir.py

[fading basin]

wait I know how you can solve your problem

[vital sentinel]

how?

[fading basin]

m_SelectCalculator.addAction(self.Scientific_CalculatorAction)``` this will add scientific calculator under the select calculator menu bar as a action then what  you can do is  ```py
Scientific_Calculator.clicked.connect(self.change_to_Scientific_Calculator)``` this part will initiate the scientific calculator  hopefully can you try it out ? @vital sentinel

[vital sentinel]

That is honestly what I did before. It won't work.

:/

[fading basin]

Ok I will try a different method

can you tell what error it shows it would be really helpful

@vital sentinel

[vital sentinel]

Nothing just happens...

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

Here's my code right now.

[fading basin]

Ok then that's interesting

[vital sentinel]

I can't keep up with all the self inside. I saw that in the Controller class I have to add first self.connectSignals() but when I add it in my Menu class that handles all the Menu Bar stuff it returns an error.

Menu object has no attribute 'connectSignals'

so I thought maybe it's because the self in my Menu class refers to the QMainWindow() object.

So I tried adding an argument MainWindow to the __init__ of my Menu class in an attempt to handle it but nada.

[verbal storm]

I want that button to resize the app

[fading basin]

you can use emit or connect there is no connectsignals function that I know of. try that in stead @vital sentinel

[vital sentinel]

def actions(self):

        self.a_ScientificCalculator.clicked.connect(self.change_to_Scientific_Calculator)
        self.a_ContactUs.clicked.connect(self.ContactUs)

    def change_to_Scientific_Calculator(self):
        
        self.x = QMainWindow()
        self.x.setFixedSize(300, 300)
        self.x.show()

[fading basin]

Wait I found out a different way you can solve this. Can you wait I need to write the code for it

[vital sentinel]

Of course! Thanks for your time.

[fading basin]

Scientific_Calculator.triggered.connect(change_to_Scientific_Calculator)``` The function change_to_Scientific_Calculator then does whatever you'd like to have.

that should do the job

[vital sentinel]

Were you able to make it work on your side?

Doesn't seem to do the trick with mine..

def change_to_Scientific_Calculator(self):
        
        self.x = QMainWindow()
        self.x.setFixedSize(300, 300)
        self.x.show()

Here's my change_to_Scientific_Calculator

[fading basin]

you have to put it after the function

[vital sentinel]

        self.a_ScientificCalculator.triggered.connect(Menu.change_to_Scientific_Calculator)
        self.a_ContactUs.triggered.connect(Menu.ContactUs)

    def change_to_Scientific_Calculator(self):
        
        x = QMainWindow()
        x.setFixedSize(300, 300)
        x.show()

    def ContactUs(self):
        
        x = QMainWindow()
        x.setFixedSize(300, 300)
        x.show()

Decided to change the connect lines to this, but now the created QMainWindow() just instantly closes?

[fading basin]

wait I posting a haste bin link with the correct format maybe that should work

[vital sentinel]

Thanks!

[fading basin]

to solve this you can do ```py
class MyWindow(QMainWindow):
def init(self):
super(MyWindow,self).init()
self.initUI()

or just wait I will just post the link

can you try running this code hopefully this will work https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uhazijicer.rb

@vital sentinel

[vital sentinel]

[ivory ember]

Looks pretty good. It would be nice to provide install instructions if you want feedback.

[turbid crow]

you should be able to just download the project and run met_eireann_status.py. running randomise_demo.py beforehand will make sure that the demo warnings are not expired and will show up

[ivory ember]

explain this in the readme and add a requirements.txt file

[fading basin]

OK I want to move the button on top of the table widget. I have tried move and set geometry they both don't seem to work so what should I do. Here is the code for the button: py layout = QVBoxLayout() btn = QPushButton(qwidget) btn.setText('Calculate') layout.addWidget(btn) btn.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Preferred, QSizePolicy.Expanding) btn.show() btn.clicked.connect(btn_clicked) qwidget.show() the tablewidget and the button are added in the same layout also I am using pyqt5

[wooden imp]

With on Top do you mean
</Button>
</Table>
Or
<Table> </Button> <Table>

The former should be the default when adding the button to the layout before adding the table

If you want the latter you can use setCellWidget

@fading basin

[fading basin]

I mean the 1st one

[wooden imp]

class AWindow(QMainWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    first = QLabel("Toaster")
    second = QLabel("Lorem Ipsum")
    self.layout = QVBoxLayout()
    self.layout.addWidget(first)
    self.layout.addWidget(second)

This will display the widgets in the correct order

Using a button and a table should not make a difference

Also I dont get Why you are calling .show on the button widget

[wooden imp]

just call .show() only on the window.

and knows how to do kivymd to apk

[wooden imp]

https://kivy.org/doc/stable/guide/packaging-android.html

[indigo yarrow]

i said kivymd not kivy

[tribal path]

kivymd is just styled kivy

[tawdry mulch]

Trying to be modern? Wont work easily, use PyQt or Kivy

[tribal path]

or kivy really - especially if you arent constrained to tkinter

[onyx spoke]

wouldn't tkinter?

[onyx spoke]

and i have no idea about gui. My specialty is image processing. I have to do this interface in 1 week. Can you help me with the software?

[tawdry mulch]

tkinter is not modern GUI toolkit, more like a native windows 7 app

[tribal path]

well there multiple things going on there. is that just for display or is there some inputs to be taken. either way looking at Image widgets and then adding the data interpretation dials.

[tawdry mulch]

I think you forgot to reply to some message, or are you just casually talking

[tribal path]

Just more casually to EFE's ping - this channel's traffic is relatively low.

I probably could throw something together; but the math for the visualisation depends on the input data...

[onyx spoke]

How can I flip this picture according to the movement of the drone? I couldn't write the code. can someone help me? using tkinter.

[fading basin]

here's a suggestion you can use PIL and import image then using that you can rotate the image example```py
from PIL import Image

image = Image.open('Audi.jpg')

rotate 270 degrees counter-clockwise

imRotate = image.rotate(270)
filename = "AudiRotated2.jpg"
imRotate.save(filename)

a simple way to show the image file is to use module webbrowser

which activates the default viewer associated with the image

works with Windows and Linux

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open(filename)```

[onyx spoke]

I know that. What I want to do is to be constantly changing. so it will change in real time

[fading basin]

Ok then I being writing the code for it

[onyx spoke]

and ı use tkinter for interface

[onyx spoke]

I'm sending a code from dm. I want to add your codes to the interface I made

[tawdry mulch]

Are you looking for placeholder?

[tawdry mulch]

Sure you can make use of root.after(). How do you get the degree of rotation

[onyx spoke]

I will get the data from the drone. will constantly change

[onyx spoke]

I need to make an interface. Can someone send me a message to help me?

[tawdry mulch]

It wont be so hard, you can do it yourself following the documentation.

[onyx spoke]

Can we add a specific location on the map to the interface with tkinter? How it is made?

[tawdry mulch]

map? location? which? You mean using maps with tkinter?

Everything you actually need is readily available with PyQt but it is not that easy to understand for beginners

[onyx spoke]

I will follow the drone on the map. so i need a map that will be constantly updated

[tawdry mulch]

Are you a beginner?

[onyx spoke]

I know python. but the interface is for the first time

how can I do it. no information found on the internet?

[tawdry mulch]

@tawdry mulch

How can I add an image to the canvas?

[tawdry mulch]

Bro all these are basics, you can just type into google

If you want to show map in the GUI, use PyQt

With tkinter there is no way to show map

Unless there is an API that will get the coordinates and then return the images, with which you can update your GUI, but not efficient

user edit timedelta

me use timedelta to do physics

now I dont need much accuracy, I expect values of up to 5 hours. I would like to have use widgets with differing accuracy - one that uses seconds and ms and one that is only hours and minutes.

Basically I look to create a TimeEdit that takes in hh:mm but could theoretically have 99h in there and a time edit with hh:mm:ss:mss

Of course I do want to limit the minutes to 60

(similar with seconds)

Hello, I have a component im tryuing to make with a Qframe, and im thse little widgets withing it have their own styles like teh icon button needs to be round and everything, but when i aling it with a grid layout, they become squares and the styles are overrided, how do i keep the styles on? or is there antoehr way to center these widgets

the backgroundi sblue to show you the size of them

[visual scroll]

PyQt5/PySide question: I want a widget to be a square - as big as fits. More generally, fix the aspect ratio and expand it as much as possible. To be specific, at this point this widget (a QOpenGLWidget) is a central widget inside a QMainWindow, with two panels fixed at the sides. Lots of (mainly old) answers on SO, but none of them actually seem to work.

[ivory ember]

Are the two "panels" dockwidgets or just layout on each side of the main layout of the main widget where the QOpenGLWidget is. As you can see, kind of hard to understand. Can you share your code?

[ivory ember]

how are you subclassing the widgets?

[cobalt owl]

any ideas why my counter is -1 behind in the gui compared to terminal? code here: https://paste.ofcode.org/sieCLszyiyDViZz3b3qNFy pyqt5

[visual scroll]

Yeah, dock widgets

I do something like

        self.dockRight = QDockWidget('parameters', self)
        self.dockRight.setAllowedAreas(Qt.RightDockWidgetArea)
        self.dockRight.setFeatures(QDockWidget.NoDockWidgetFeatures)
        self.dockRight.setMinimumWidth(200)
        self.dockRight.setMaximumWidth(600)
        self.addDockWidget(Qt.RightDockWidgetArea, self.dockRight)

and likewise for the left hand side dock

[ivory ember]

if you set the QOpenGLWidget as the centralwidget, it doesn't resize or what's the problem

[visual scroll]

like I said, it won't keep a fixed aspect ratio

The only workaround that actually worked for me was fixing the size of the central widget

But I want it to expand if the window size allows it to

[ivory ember]

are you setting the centralwidget as a QWidget with a layout or directly adding the QOpenGLWidget

[visual scroll]

I'm setting it with window.setCentralWidget(myWidget)

but that doesn't really matter, I tried various layouts and other solutions, and would happily change to a different scheme, unfortunately none of them work

[visual scroll]

BTW I happen to think the whole widescreen fad is plain stupid. 4:3 was pretty much a perfect formfactor, though myself I wouldn't mind a square screen. But that's a totally different discussion.

I mean, let the folks who use their computers mainly for watching movies have their widescreens, but for actual work different formfactors would be more suited, while the market gives you no choice whatsoever.

you mean, you wouldn't know how to start setting up a widget to be resizable while preserving aspect ratio?

[vital sentinel]

I wanna scream but I might get banned so...

I want my calculator to play a sound whenever I press a button, and also a looping background sound. Is there a way I can do this?

Using PyQt6

[zealous gorge]

Well, just save ure sounds as files (mp3 for ex) and use playsound :

Lets supose u have a background sound called main.mp3 and another one called button.mp3 that need to be called once when u press the button :

Using threading that might do that :

from threading import Thread
from playsound import playsound

def TheFunctionThatWillBeCalledWhenUWillPressAButton():
    playsound("button.mp3")

def background():
    while True: #I was not going to write while 1, that false
        playsound("main.mp3")

Thread(target=background, daemon=True).start()```
Then just define that when u press the button it will call the first function, and ure 👌

@vital sentinel u asked for tag xD

[vital sentinel]

Are those imports prebuilt with python?

Oh okay looks like I only need to pip install playsound

[vital sentinel]

Where do I put these lines just to be sure? I added the playsound and background functions to my controller class which handles the button presses, where do I put the last line?

It doesn't seem to work..

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

@zealous gorge

[vital sentinel]

oh wait it worked, forgot the playsound(self)

I can't seem to get the background music to work though

My button has two connects each click, one for the playsound and one for the QLineEdit (button click adds the text of button to a QLineEdit). But there's a delay when the sound is played and the text is added to the QLineEdit. Any remedies?

[zealous gorge]

Judt add the playsound("button.mp3") at the function called when u press the button and the other finction can be set wher u want (dont forget to add the Thread(target... to ure main program/function

hey smart python people...
so, im making a tkinter application for some reason im getting a "referenced before assignment" error when the variable was already declared and even used by another function by the time i used it in another...

heres the code:

    count = 0
    def packData():
        #Obtain target data (get the meeting that has the index of count, i have to do this cuz i meetings is a dictionary)
        targetMeeting = ''
        identifierCount = 0
        for meeting in meetings:
            if identifierCount == count:
                targetMeeting = meeting
            identifierCount += 1
        
        #Make labels with data (commented out this part so its not distracting)
        #meetingNumberLabel = tk.Label(frame, text='Meeting Number: {}'.format(count), bg="white")
        #meetingNameLabel = tk.Label(frame, text="Name: {}".format(targetMeeting), bg="white")
        #meetingIDLabel = tk.Label(frame, text="ID: {}".format(meetings[targetMeeting]['id']), bg="white")
        #meetingPwdLabel = tk.Label(frame, text="Password: {}".format(meetings[targetMeeting]['pwd']), bg="white")
        #meetingLinkLabel = tk.Label(frame, text="Link: {}".format(meetings[targetMeeting]['link']), bg="white")
        
        #Pack labels

        #meetingNameLabel.pack()
        #meetingIDLabel.pack()
        #meetingPwdLabel.pack()
        #meetingLinkLabel.pack()
        
    packData()
    
    def moveToNextMeeting():
        count = count + 1 #this is where the error arises
        for widget in frame.winfo_children():
            widget.destroy()
        packData()
    
    nextMeeting = tk.Button(root, text="Next Meeting", padx=10, pady=5, bg="#263D42", command=moveToNextMeeting)
    nextMeeting.pack()
    
    root.mainloop()

i dont understand why the error arises when count is already declared... can someone please help?

please tell me if im doing anything wrong, im new to python programming..

[vital sentinel]

Maybe add global count to each of your functions.

count = 0
def packData():
   global count
   ...

def moveToNextMeeting():
   global count
   ...

@olive cove

[olive cove]

what does that do? @vital sentinel

[vital sentinel]

It makes it so that you're always using the count variable that is outside the functions.

!global

[proven basin]

When adding functions or classes to a program, it can be tempting to reference inaccessible variables by declaring them as global. Doing this can result in code that is harder to read, debug and test. Instead of using globals, pass variables or objects as parameters and receive return values.

Instead of writing

def update_score():
    global score, roll
    score = score + roll
update_score()

do this instead

def update_score(score, roll):
    return score + roll
score = update_score(score, roll)

For in-depth explanations on why global variables are bad news in a variety of situations, see this Stack Overflow answer.

[vital sentinel]

Welp.

But global should work though. Just try it out.

!len

[proven basin]

Iterating over range(len(...)) is a common approach to accessing each item in an ordered collection.

for i in range(len(my_list)):
    do_something(my_list[i])

The pythonic syntax is much simpler, and is guaranteed to produce elements in the same order:

for item in my_list:
    do_something(item)

Python has other solutions for cases when the index itself might be needed. To get the element at the same index from two or more lists, use zip. To get both the index and the element at that index, use enumerate.

Hello guys I am trying to make a text-to-speech app using python and I want to add text highlighting functionalities like this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTYWGWRoYNA&t=219s ) any ideas how can I accomplish this in python

[spark prism]

lmao

[olive cove]

using tkinter, how can i only delete buttons from the root?

anyone?

[ivory ember]

No offense, but that's a horrible approach. You want to use the native PyQt6 libraries with something like

self.player = qtmm.QSoundEffect()
self.player.setSource(qtc.QUrl.fromLocalFile(sfx_file))
self.btn.clicked.connect(self.player.play)

where the import is as such

from PyQt6 import QtMultimedia as qtmm

There are many other implementations and some for background music as well. Do some research and you'll have a great app.

[hybrid spindle]

working in qt5. Have an embedded pyplot as the GUIs main widget. Wanted to replace the canvas with a new pyplot upon some event. Works fine, replaces the old pyplot with new. But using the same commands to try and replace the new canvas with the old it wont execute. Any thoughts as to why?

self.spectrum = Figure()
self.canvas = FigureCanvasQTAgg(self.spectrum)
plot_layout.addWidget(self.canvas,stretch=5)

#replace canvas with new mpl
self.fig=plt.figure(figsize=(12,8))
parent.plot_layout.removeWidget(parent.canvas)
parent.plot_layout.insertWidget(1,self.fig.canvas)

#when finished with function, replace canvas to initial canvas
self.parent.plot_layout.removeWidget(self.fig.canvas)
self.parent.plot_layout.insertWidget(1,self.parent.canvas)

the only difference as I can see is Using the FigureCanvasQTagg in the initial and just using self.fig.canvas in the replacement. Dont think thatd have anything to do with it though?

[hybrid spindle]

nevermind! just had to close out the canvas as well as removing the widget. I'm a dummy

[tawdry mulch]

can you give an example code

[lime monolith]

You could use winfo_children() to get a list of child widgets and then destroy the widgets that are instances of tk.button isinstance(widget, tk.Button)
The following creates 5 widgets randomly picking a label or a button, clicking the last button will destroy all buttons.

import tkinter as tk

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        for index in range(5):
            widget_choice = random.choice((tk.Label, tk.Button))
            widget = widget_choice(self, text=f'Widget{index}')
            widget.pack(padx=5, pady=5)
        self.button = tk.Button(
            self, text='Destroy buttons', command=self.on_button)
        self.button.pack(pady=5)

    def on_button(self):
        for widget in self.winfo_children():

[spring turtle]

There is an argument in widgets 'justify' so you can pass justify='center' and it will center the text

[lime monolith]

It is not advisable to use **from tkinter import *** see https://python-forum.io/thread-4.html
Your label widgets should have their parent as the first passed in attribute.
Your event handlers are altering the clicks attribute value but the label itself has not had it text value updated.
Rather than using global use a class to group related attributes and methods together.
The following is an example of your code that does not use * import or global, it uses a class and has a method to update the label that is called in the event handler methods that alter the value of clicks.

import tkinter as tk


class TkApp(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.geometry("350x350")
        self.config(bg='black')
        self.clicks = 0
        tk.Label(self, text='CPS Test', font=(
            'Tahoma', 20), bg='black', fg='gray').pack()
        tk.Label(self, text='Check the terminal for your CPS ',
                 font=('Tahoma', 15), bg='black', fg='gray').pack()
        self.cps_label = tk.Label(
            self, fg='gray', bg='black', font=('Tahoma', 18))
        self.cps_label.pack()
        self.update_cps_label()
        self.bind('<Button-1>', self.on_button1)
        self.bind('<Button-2>', self.on_button2)

    def update_cps_label(self):
        self.cps_label.config(text=f'CPS: {self.clicks}')

    def on_button1(self, event):
        self.clicks += 1
        self.update_cps_label()

    def on_button2(self, event):
        self.clicks = 0

hey does anyone know of a UI library that doesn't have strict threading requirements? basically, I want to be able to run a Python script in my game and a UI window pops up. then I want to be able to close the window, and run the script again, and have it pop up again. my best understanding is that PyQt and wxwidgets are entirely incompatible with this use case. any ideas?

(so to be clear, both runs would be in the same python shell -- no avoiding this unfortunately)

or would it be out of the realm of sanity to multiprocess for this??

Hello, I am using PyQt5 to create a gui, defining a buttons class in a separate .py file and importing it, then trying to use a method from my buttons class to change the color of a label in my Ui_MainWindow

like so:

class buttons(object):
    def __init__(self, Ui_MainWindow):
        print('creating buttons object')

    def func(self):
        Ui_MainWindow.label.setStyleSheet("background-color: green;")

This is throwing an error

    self.pushButton = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralwidget, clicked = lambda: self.btn_obj.func())
AttributeError: 'Ui_MainWindow' object has no attribute 'btn_obj'

I have isolated the code from a bigger project into smaller code and am happy to share with anyone who would like to see.

If I understand correctly, since the label is an attribute of a Ui_MainWindow object, and not the class itself it is unable to be changed in the way that I am doing it. I am hoping someone could show/tell me the proper way to implement this sort of thing.

@vital sentinel u can just disable the mainwindow and enable it on wheh u close the child

@analog flicker are u using Qt designer generated code or the UI is written by u

@upbeat island use a stylesheet or check for the padding of the parent widget by my Knowledge its the padding of the main Widget

@onyx spoke u should use QML its way easier by my knoweledge and u can use the Qt design studio Standalone

[novel epoch]

Hey

So this my UI

        new_project = Button(text='+',

                             background_color=[0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 0.7],
                             size_hint_x=None, width=215,
                             size_hint_y=None, height=215)

        text1 = Label(text='Create New Project',
                      font_size='20sp',
                      size_hint_x=None, width=215,
                      size_hint_y=None, height=30)

this is my button and label code

how do i make it

not stick to the corner

and just have a bit of a gap

[analog flicker]

It is designer generated. I solved it though but thank you very much for reaching out!

[worthy ridge]

u subclass the designer generated code. like

class UI_main(Ui_mainwindwo, QTWidget.MainWindow): super().__init__(); self.SetupUi(self)

[analog flicker]

I actually have a new issue I am dealing with in PyQt5 now.

I am using UI code generated by QT Designer and I am trying to
use self.setWindowFlags but am getting the error

The code I added is to try to set the flags is :

        self.setWindowFlags(
        QtCore.Qt.Window |
        QtCore.Qt.CustomizeWindowHint |
        QtCore.Qt.WindowTitleHint |
        QtCore.Qt.WindowCloseButtonHint |
        QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint
        )

[mossy geyser]

oh sorry im just bad at tkinter

@analog flicker u need to subcalss it with the code i gave u to create a mainwindow to actually hold the UI

@worthy ridge I added like this:

class PlayerUI_obj(Ui_MainWindow, QtWidgets.QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.setWindowFlags(
        QtCore.Qt.Window |
        QtCore.Qt.CustomizeWindowHint |
        QtCore.Qt.WindowTitleHint |
        QtCore.Qt.WindowCloseButtonHint |
        QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint
        )

now do I need to add PlayerUI_obj to the code here?:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    MainWindow = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_MainWindow()
    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
    MainWindow.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

[worthy ridge]

[analog flicker]

It works perfectly! Thanks for all your help today @worthy ridge.

As I am sure you can tell I am a noob programmer. I watched a video series on PyQt5 to try and learn it but do you have any recommended reading material or youtube channels so that I can further my understanding of it?

[worthy ridge]

tbh i never used any resource so i cant suggest i just go refer the docs when im stuck its fast

[analog flicker]

Alright, well thanks again. Have a great day 🙂

[vital sentinel]

How do I achieve that?

[meager niche]

Hello! What is a good lib that could help in viewing charts ( pie charts ) in pyqt5?

Tried using pyqtcharts but couldn’t find docs for it

[upbeat island]

Why does this work

class MainWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
        label = QLabel()
        label.setText("test")
        layout.addWidget(label)

        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.showMaximized()

but not this?

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
        label = QLabel()
        label.setText("test")
        layout.addWidget(label)

        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.showMaximized()

if I use QMainWindow instead of QWidget then the layout stops working completely, and nothing shows up on the window

[meager niche]

You must be having MainWindow.show running at the end of your code. i.e., w = MainWindow()

w.showMaximized()

You can only use it once

[upbeat island]

yeah I have show() in

def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    main_window = MainWindow.MainWindow()
    main_window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

[meager niche]

Remove it or remove the self.showMaximized from the MainWindow class. It should work

[upbeat island]

doesn't make a difference, subclassing MainWindow from QWidget works, but subclassing it from QMainWindow doesn't

[upbeat island]

ah I think I know why, QMainWindow requires that you have a central widget, so you can't have layouts in it, if I understand it right

[young sedge]

what is the way to pack python installation into standalone installer with all its dependencies for windows?

[bitter marsh]

Wish I had researched a bit before started working on Tkinter but would anyone recommend using tkinter.dnd module or its equivalent workaround from StackOverflow or should I use a different GUI tool?

[tawdry mulch]

What?

[bitter marsh]

Sorry I wasn't clear. I was talking about Drag and Drop functionality. Is this available somewhere in tkinter (hopefully built-in) or should I use a different GUI tool thats easier for drag and drop?

[tawdry mulch]

dnd is built in right? Use it or use PyQt.

[novel epoch]

how would i get the number of widgets in a row(grid layout) kivy

[novel epoch]

it is very much possible

but it defo wont be built in

as for a better GUI tool

im using kivy, but its harder than doing it with tkinter 😅

i dont think any lib support dnd actually

you can try QT, but i doubt it, easiest to just implement it yourself with tkinter

[plain coyote]

#help-cupcake

pls help

need help kivymd

[worthy ridge]

@meager niche u can inegreate matplotlib in Qt

[worthy ridge]

widget.setEnabled(true) or false add this to the closeevent of the child

@upbeat island mainwindow < centeral widget < child and child widgets, this the hirarchy that muct be followed to make a GUI work and frames to show up properly

[worthy ridge]

Qt has that inbuilt just u will need to set the flag for that widget

i am using kivymd how do you extract text from confirmation dialog box suppose in the below example

hi

idk if im on the right chan but im looking a help about spyder

just wondering if someone did have a problem with kernel

[noble star]

Hi, I'm using tkinter for my frontend project, in my case each interface is a class, I have a problem in one interface who uses a normal class (not tkinter class) that class is just processing. I'm not an expert in OOP, let me explain you more about my issues and what I want to do.
My goals are: I have an "Import button" I imports a video, from the path of the video, I would make some processes, I have a class "process" the are different methods in that class, the class "process" have 1 attribute 'path of the video', the second class is "Gui" a simple interface that got 2 buttons "import" and "process", the importation method is in Gui class, so how can I do to declare and return the path of an imported video.
What I've done for my part I just declared a variable out of the class Gui, and call it in the importation methods but i don't works.
Thank you.

[ivory ember]

is there a question in all that I missed?

[tawdry mulch]

what is code

[noble star]

Yes, the question is how can I do to declare and return the path of an imported video

[muted vine]

Are there any good guides for making modern looking UI in python? The ones I found look very 1990s..

[tawdry mulch]

using return.

[noble star]

No, it not works

[tawdry mulch]

Then show your code please. @noble star

[mental otter]

i'm making a tkinter application and i'm trying to extend functionality for an Entry to show some default text if the Entry is empty. For some reason the binds on the FocusIn and FocusOut causes the application to crash, but I don't know why. It works fine if there is 1 of these objects, but I use 4 (happens whether I have a textvariable or not, so I'm unsure if this has anything to do with it)

class LabeledEntry(tk.Entry):
    def __init__(self, parent, default, *args, **kwargs):
        tk.Entry.__init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs)
        self.parent = parent
        self.default = default
        self.lose_focus()
        self.bind('<FocusIn>', self.get_focus)  # crashes on click from this
        self.bind('<FocusOut>', self.lose_focus)

    def get_focus(self, event=None):
        if self.get() == self.default:
            self.delete(0, tk.END)
            self.config(fg="black")

    def lose_focus(self, event=None):
        if self.get() == "":
            self.insert(0, self.default)
            self.config(fg="gray")

i'd found the code off of a reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/6tw5ve/tkinter_entry_box_how_to_declare_a_light_grey/

didn't seem like what I'd typed in was too far off from what was posted

[tawdry mulch]

Give the entire code, not reproducible so far.

[mental otter]

i'm using it in another class:

class Block(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, version, *args, **kwargs):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs)
        self.parent = parent
        self.version = version
        self.locked = tk.PhotoImage(file="img/lockClose.png")
        self.unlocked = tk.PhotoImage(file="img/lockOpen.png")
        self.columnconfigure(0, weight=3)
        self.rowconfigure(2, weight=3)
        self.checked = tk.BooleanVar()
        self.normal_checked = tk.BooleanVar()
        self.toggle = tk.Checkbutton(self, text=version, variable=self.checked, command=lambda: test(version))
        self.toggle.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="W")
        self.lock = tk.BooleanVar()
        self.lock_toggle = tk.Checkbutton(self, variable=self.lock, image=self.unlocked, selectimage=self.unlocked)
        self.lock_toggle.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky="E")
        self.filter = tk.StringVar()
        self.filter_box = LabeledEntry(self, "Filter Files...", text="Filter Files...", textvariable=self.filter)  #<-- the Entry in use
        self.filter_box.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=2, sticky="EW")
        self.listbox = tk.Listbox(self)
        self.listbox.grid(row=2, column=0, columnspan=2, sticky="NSEW")

which gets instanced multiple times within a NoteBook.

[tawdry mulch]

So the app just crashes?

[mental otter]

when i click the entry it just freezes

without the binds the entry works fine, with the binds the moment i interact with it directly it crashes

[tawdry mulch]

What about without the textvariable.

[mental otter]

same problem, strangely enough the second visible Entry starts with black text instead of gray text

[tawdry mulch]

Ok where else are you using self.parent, within LabeledEntry.

[mental otter]

that's the whole LabeledEntry code

[tawdry mulch]

Okay a wild try: replace all self.parent with self.master and try again

[mental otter]

self.master = parent?

[tawdry mulch]

Yup

[mental otter]

seems to do the same thing

[tawdry mulch]

Okay then paste the entire code for me to run it

!paste

[mental otter]

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

[tawdry mulch]

Okay let me see

[tawdry mulch]

Yep, like I predicted the issue was self.parent itself.

[tawdry mulch]

Try this: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/izinawupuv.rb

Check line 51

[mental otter]

actually - now that you mention it, i did put self.master there as I didn't know that was a thing, i guess that's what was messing it up?

[tawdry mulch]

See I confused myself 😛 Which was originally there, self.parent or self.master at line 51

[mental otter]

it was originally self.master, if i change the name it works fine

thanks for the help, i shoulda caught on when you said self.master but i forgot i set that lol

[tawdry mulch]

Okay yes, I was wrong but I had the correct idea. Do you want to know the explanation?

[mental otter]

yeah, what is the difference with parent and master?

[tawdry mulch]

It is just that self.master is used by tkinter widgets inside their class, so when you use self.master, you are changing what was defined before, and should be a window, changing it to a Frame causes the error.

Avoid using self.master at all, stick with self.parent or self.root, better

[mental otter]

oh, so it was essentially pointing everything to the same thing. ouch. makes sense.

i should read more about the class before i trip over the built in variables too much. i keep getting nasty surprises all the time

[tawdry mulch]

Well if you check __init__.py inside tkinter folder, you can see in line 2258 that self.master = master is set, and this is for the class BaseWidget and as far as I know, all widgets indirectly/directly inherits from that class, making self.master part of your namespace(I guess) too, and when you change it, BaseWidget fails and all child classes also start to fail.

anyone here know QFileSystemModel and Qtreeview ?

I already write the code to list all the file in dir and it look sth like this

but I want to add the feature where I can search and fliter the files inside the dir

is there anyway ?

The code look something like this:

          path = "subjects"
          self.model = QtWidgets.QFileSystemModel()
          self.model.setRootPath((QtCore.QDir.rootPath()))
          self.treeView.setModel(self.model)
          self.treeView.setRootIndex(self.model.index(os.path.join(dir, path)))
          self.treeView.setSortingEnabled(True)
          self.treeView.doubleClicked.connect(self.open_file)
     def context_menu(self):
          menu = QtWidgets.QMenu()
          open = menu.addAction("Open")
          open.triggered.connect(self.open_file)
          cursor = QtGui.QCursor()
          menu.exec_(cursor.pos())
     def open_file(self):
          index = self.treeView.currentIndex()
          file_path = self.model.filePath(index)
          os.startfile(file_path) 
dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)```

My project stuck here please help me

[tawdry mulch]

that i wont think is really related to the GUI, you can create a function that does it and re populate the widget based on it

[worthy ridge]

i have a custom File system model that uses checkboxes u can loook into to the code if u wana mess with the underlying model
https://github.com/UGLYclown999/Apollo/blob/3f24d3d61f89b181de74f69ce51beb5bcbff2be8/apollo/app/misc_app/file_explorer.py#L8

[proven basin]

apollo/app/misc_app/file_explorer.py line 8

class CheckableFileSystemModel(QtWidgets.QFileSystemModel): # Untested```

[worthy ridge]

FS queries are expensive so repopulating is difficult as Qt file system load the data in chunks so u cant query the full tree and repop

[verbal storm]

thank you for your help I will check out your code.

I also found other script too that work but It seem like I dont understand it.

@worthy ridge

class Widget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):

    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = Widget()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())```

if can. could u help me read that code and copy paste to your note and put # above the method to explain me what it does.

[noble star]

which one is better : tkinter, kivy or PyQT5 ??

[verbal storm]

pyqt is good cuz it have their own designer

[inner iron]

is this the gui channel?

[verbal storm]

yea but this channel not much out of help

[inner iron]

ight thanks

[tawdry mulch]

What does that mean

[tawdry mulch]

Dont query from the tree, query from the directory chosen?

[verbal storm]

ehh I don't understand can u like show the solution in code please. I'm kinda new to it

[worthy ridge]

no the other way around add a filter to the tree and only filter out the content that is being displayed

[verbal storm]

that good too. since I just making it easy to sort my school subjects pdf file and I dont really make sub folder

[worthy ridge]

i always suggest Qt

[noble star]

PyQT is for native look

[tawdry mulch]

hmmhmm? It has style sheet

[worthy ridge]

nope lol

[verbal storm]

it does have style sheet

[worthy ridge]

@noble star https://github.com/UGLYclown999/Apollo i use it extensively

[tawdry mulch]

Well i dont know much about PyQt, but if I were to make something with tkinter, I would do like that

@noble star https://github.com/nihaalnz/PassLost no preview but feel free to download the app from releases

[worthy ridge]

its easy to hide rows than to repop the full table

[verbal storm]

atlast can someone educate me this script please ?

[worthy ridge]

file sys model > filter proxy > view u query the proxy to just show valid data

[verbal storm]

oh

still doesnt get it

[worthy ridge]

like filter is a mask that u use to hide stuff ur not using techinically

file sys model > filter proxy > view data flow diag

[verbal storm]

ok ok I got some glimpse of it thank for the hints

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

[digital rose]

is there a way i can make my gui show if one of the buttons is on or off for example like auto fish: On

so many passed functions rip

[digital rose]

show what happens when u run it

[gloomy prawn]

changing the buttons background color?

[digital rose]

Ah

you can change the button text yes

[digital rose]

Nice

[gloomy prawn]

oh lol made that before

[digital rose]

wait wait

wait a fucking minute

thats against ToS

is it?

it very much is

anyways

since its the gui

ill help

:3

dont tell anyone

huh

but just the gui.

[gloomy prawn]

background color/changing the text of the button

[digital rose]

when was it againced the tos

[digital rose]

It is.

You cant bot farm

hmm looks like im making a gui forsomething else

after you teach me this lmfao

also you cant automate your account with-

[gloomy prawn]

lol

[digital rose]

ahh

i cic

😉

lol i aint tryna get banned

mhm

anyways

yeah

i recommend changing background colour

ok to what?

[gloomy prawn]

sadly I can't run stuff overnight cause it's 48°C yes very nice

[digital rose]

of the button

[digital rose]

white

[gloomy prawn]

green/red?

[digital rose]

of the button

[digital rose]

thats also good

or just

btn.config("text=auto fish: ON")

[gloomy prawn]

wha

no

[digital rose]

yes.

[gloomy prawn]

btn.config["text"] = "blah"

[digital rose]

mk done

[digital rose]

thats not

[gloomy prawn]

idk that's whats in my head

[digital rose]

how tkinter works

;/

[digital rose]

niceu

[gloomy prawn]

like 2 years ago lol

[digital rose]

so is it possible to say if its on or off

now use requests to make the functionality

[digital rose]

yeah

when u click

make it black

when you click

[gloomy prawn]

if u click it just toggle it using a book

[digital rose]

make it not black, ie, white

[gloomy prawn]

book*

FUC

[digital rose]

ok i started python yesterday i have not gone that far

[gloomy prawn]

bool*

[digital rose]

bool

people nowdays

start python

lol

and start making guis

i know a little c++

but thats it...

[gloomy prawn]

I started with b a t c h

[digital rose]

you want me to make a booliant?

it took me 6 months to learn the fundamentals :/
and as for python beginner level, took me a year, that is, what i consider beginner

now id say im intermediate

[digital rose]

a boolian yes

intermediate = pro

[gloomy prawn]

and I made an a n t i v i r u s in batch

[digital rose]

.. ..

want me to get rid of all of the def funtions?

[digital rose]

intermediate != pro

[gloomy prawn]

it just scans filenames in certain directories lmao ok

ok back to the code

[digital rose]

intermediate == pro

ok

so what do i do?

[gloomy prawn]

del intermediate

del pro

[digital rose]

kk

[gloomy prawn]

import code

[digital rose]

so i made a boolian

according to me,
intermediate is when you are advanced at a certain field, and you are intermediate at the pro lang you use for it
advanced is when you are good with all the concepts in that pro lang, for example meta classes and itertools in python, and 400 other things

[gloomy prawn]

everytime u click the button, do bool = not bool

[digital rose]

mhm

[gloomy prawn]

to reverse the value

then after u reverse it, do a check, if it's True, change the button to green

otherwise red

[digital rose]

however being advanced at a syntax is useless

better to get advanced at programming

ok i did bool = not bool

or a specific field

[digital rose]

no, make a value

for example

on = False

on = not on

mk

when u clikc that is

[gloomy prawn]

when u click the button, do that

[digital rose]

and then

if on:

bg = "black
```"

ok im getting confused anyone wanna cal lol

cya i gtg

[gloomy prawn]

where

[digital rose]

actaully kinda making sence

idk somewhere i can screenie

screenshare

[gloomy prawn]

where r u getting confused

[digital rose]

on making the boolian

[gloomy prawn]

I just lost this channel but ok

u make the boolian when the program starts

on = False

[digital rose]

so like

bool on = false?

[gloomy prawn]

wha

that's C

[digital rose]

nvm im a idiot

yeah lol im used to c++

[gloomy prawn]

also just realized that it's spelled as "boolean"

[digital rose]

hmm all these years

[gloomy prawn]

lmao

[digital rose]

ok i mde the boolean

so do i make a if statement?

[gloomy prawn]

in the button click handler yes

after u toggle the value (on = not on)

[digital rose]

ok

[digital rose]

lmao what

[digital rose]

what-

idk

[gloomy prawn]

cout<<"does this work idk"<<endl;
bool on = false;

issit even << lmao

[digital rose]

thats Cpp or C#

[gloomy prawn]

c++

[digital rose]

yeah

[gloomy prawn]

c# isn't that low level

[digital rose]

yeah

[gloomy prawn]

!e ```py

[digital rose]

same but idk

[gloomy prawn]

nope.

@cerulean tinsel thought you might like to know that PySide6 (Qt) hiding/unhiding was about as easy as tkinter, really seems like kivy is the odd one out that cant handle giving and releasing focus properly. Probably going with PySide6 then because the entirety of how tkinter is layed out just makes me go WTF

Hey people, I'm currently in an internship where I need to create sensor nodes sending via LoRa some geiger counters data and need a way to get a UI up and running displaying this data

the node and receptor is prettymuch done, just need to do the storing of data in acsv format from an arduino to a raspberry and then, most importantly, an UI

I really want to code it in Python, what would be the best display options apart of matplotlib. I would prefer the creation of an app or of a localhost website

[ivory ember]

Try PyQt5 and PyQtGraph. This link should get you started with the graphs: https://www.mfitzp.com/tutorials/plotting-pyqtgraph/

[digital rose]

that not allowed

[cerulean tinsel]

hehe, thats good to hear, Me also looked into QT but me english is hard so the doc was not easy to understand, but it looks 10x simpler that Tkinter and less like it works but idk how tf does it work

[lone phoenix]

the main issues was handling focus, i was trying to make a overlay that can be brought up with a global hotkey, and automatically gets keyboard focus in a text input field. This worked. What did not work was rescinding the focus in any way. clicking on another window didn't work, neither did any way of programatically giving up focus or giving it to another window. any key typed on the keyboard would still affect only the kivy textbox, no matter if the window was hidden or minimized.

tkinter and Qt both just automatically give back focus to the window which had it previously when closing/minimizing/hiding

[lone phoenix]

yeah Qt documentation is unhelpful at best, its better to just look at stackoverflow

[cerulean tinsel]

Also I realized that well Kivy was not built with the purpose that its gonna be a extension to something, instead it is a stand alone user interface, so hiding and showing was not the purpose, it more like making a ( for example ) menu for a game or something or making the UI for a application that buys you ticket or stuff

not that i would at all recommend you to do any of that in python, if you really want to create something of a UI just use a browser with CSS or make it in C# or C++

[lone phoenix]

the issue with using a browser is that i cant well make a overlay in a browser, especially if i want to add transparency at some point

i have seriously considered just using C# tho, but Qt has been working okay so far

[cerulean tinsel]

if it moves it moves

[lone phoenix]

did you mean "if it works it works"?

[cerulean tinsel]

ahem ahem

anyone here know how to make searchable for QListView in PyQT ?

class myfilescreen(QDialog):
     def __init__(self, maya=False):
          super(myfilescreen, self).__init__()
          dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
          path = "ui/myFile.ui"
          loadUi(os.path.join(dir, path),self)
          path = "subjects"
          self.dirpath = os.path.join(dir, path)

          self.fileModel = QtWidgets.QFileSystemModel()
          self.fileModel.setRootPath(path)
          self.fileModel.setFilter(QtCore.QDir.NoDotAndDotDot | QtCore.QDir.Files)
          self.listview.setModel(self.fileModel)
          self.listview.setRootIndex(self.fileModel.index(self.dirpath))
          self.listview.setSelectionMode(QtWidgets.QAbstractItemView.ExtendedSelection)
          self.listview.doubleClicked.connect(self.open_file)
          self.fileModel = QtWidgets.QFileSystemModel(nameFilterDisables=False)
          
     def open_file(self):
          for file in self.listview.selectedIndexes():
            print(self.fileModel.filePath(file), file.data())
            file_path = self.fileModel.filePath(file)
            os.startfile(file_path)```

here my code

[coarse mirage]

So I'm trying to run my code to where whatever the user enters in the user_input gets printed via button click. I'm not sure how to code it in a way that the button click returns what the user has typed into self.line at that time.

Here's a brief visual of what the app looks like so far:

And here's my whole code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/haworiluva.rb

I want it so when the user clicks the button (button_1) it prints whatever was typed in the box (user_input_label) in the code via print.

This is PyQt5 by the way.

[lone phoenix]

@coarse mirage not very familiar with PyQt5 but as far as i know you would use signals and slots to accomplish this. The button should have a signal that is triggered when its clicked, so you need to write a slot (a kind of event handler that handles a signal being triggered) which prints out the content. you should be able to get the text content with text = self.line.text().

[lone phoenix]

the way i have seen this done is by looping over the elements in listview and setting their hidden status based on whether they match the search term. This would likely happen in a Slot function (event handler) for typing in a search bar or similar.

on a different note: consider using Pathlib as it provides a nicer way to manage file paths than os.path

[verbal storm]

can you help write the whole process out of my script ? when you say it like that I seem dont understand what u mean 😦

@lone phoenix

[lone phoenix]

the core filtering should be as simple as

for item in all_listview_items:
    if item matches condition:
        # set item to shown
    else:
        # hide item

the issues to consider are:

• how is this code called?
• how can you loop over all items in a listview?
• what will your filter condition be filtering by?
• how can you hide and unhide items?

i encourage you to look up solutions to these individual questions yourself, one search term that i would try is pyqt loop over listview items

[verbal storm]

thank @lone phoenix

[verbal storm]

@lone phoenix I managed to make the searching work but somehow my double click to open file function isn't working anymore.

[lone phoenix]

hm, that seems wrong, i assume the line which connects the double click signal and the function it calls are unchanged?

[verbal storm]

yes it not changed. But I kinda do little trick I found on google with proxy thingy

and then it broke the click function

          dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
          path = "subjects"
          self.dirpath = os.path.join(dir, path)

          self.search.textChanged.connect(self.on_textChanged)
          self.fileModel = QtWidgets.QFileSystemModel()
          self.fileModel.setRootPath(self.dirpath)
          self.fileModel.setFilter(QtCore.QDir.NoDotAndDotDot | QtCore.QDir.AllEntries | QtCore.QDir.Dirs | QtCore.QDir.Files)
          self.proxyModel = QtCore.QSortFilterProxyModel(recursiveFilteringEnabled=True, filterRole=QtWidgets.QFileSystemModel.FileNameRole)
          self.proxyModel.setSourceModel(self.fileModel)
          self.listview.setModel(self.proxyModel)
          self.listview.setContextMenuPolicy(QtCore.Qt.CustomContextMenu)
          self.listview.customContextMenuRequested.connect(self.context_menu)
          self.listview.setSelectionMode(QtWidgets.QAbstractItemView.ExtendedSelection)
          self.listview.doubleClicked.connect(self.open_file)
          self.adjust_root_index()

it broken at open_file

the method isnt work why ?

Hey Can Somebody plz Help Me Edit/make a discord server. Just DM Me If U accept

[wise peak]

Do you guys think windows forms is a good GUI starter ?

Or would I better off coding it through QT

[tawdry mulch]

Ummm start with tkinter

[digital rose]

Man, I think Tkinter would be better, as it is very simple and generates good GUIs (of course, they are not as beautiful as PyQT for example).

[wise peak]

Yeah j have tried tkinter before

Not what I'm looking for

I was thinking either Imgui or Winforms/pyqt even though they are harder

I can learn no problem i don't have dedication issues lol

[tawdry mulch]

I am just saying tkinter is a good starting point.

If not just go for PyQt.

[wise peak]

🤔

[digital rose]

You can also use PySimpleGUI, it's based on tkinter, but it has more interesting widget build tools and position managers, and it's interesting in looks and appearance parts.

[tawdry mulch]

What are you looking for

[wise peak]

Wait i will post an image

[digital rose]

I've used PySimpleGUI a lot and it solved a lot of problems that big frameworks didn't solve for me, and it's very simple to understand how it works and use it.

And generates good GUIs

[digital rose]

This is what a window looks like in PySimpleGUI:

[wise peak]

I had to censor the names becuase of ToS

[wise peak]

No

I'm not looking for that sorry

Something modern that doesn't look like Windows Vista

[tawdry mulch]

Yea this possible with PyQt and is considered to be common. With tkinter it is possible too, but takes alot of coding

[digital rose]

And what are you looking for?

Use VB or C# for Windows forms?

[wise peak]

C#

[tawdry mulch]

@wise peak Check this, it is possible with tkinter: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uxucosuvav.rb, but lot of coding, but fairly simple with PyQt.

[wise peak]

Is best for what I'm looking for

[digital rose]

ok

a tip: Use VB

its more simple

[tawdry mulch]

But why change language? When python can do it?

[digital rose]

Python can do everything

[wise peak]

Because i don't think the python interface could respond to tasks and that are made in C/CPP or etc

Ive never tried it that's why

[tawdry mulch]

Oh

[digital rose]

But if you want to go to C#, let's see if the controlled remedies can handle the complexity and syntax of C#

that was a horrible joke

[wise peak]

Yeah ik

QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread

[worthy ridge]

just dont share time objects etween threads

Assuming you started the QTimer(s) on the main thread, you cannot change their state (start, stop, setInterval, etc.) from another thread. That is how threading works.

using tkinter to create a calculator application with anEntry and Buttons.
So the buttons have, numbers, right? Everytime I click a button, that number goes to the end of the Entry, so like every number that is put pushes the text to the left. What I want to happen is that the number is inserted to wherever my text cursor position is located in the Entry. Is that possible?

[tawdry mulch]

Use <Entry>.index('insert') to get the current position of icursor then insert with that number

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

def click(num):
    cur = e.index('insert')
    e.insert(cur,num)

e = Entry(root)
e.pack()

Button(root,text=1,command=lambda: click(1)).pack()

root.mainloop()

[mental otter]

silly question - is there some way to prevent a treeview from consuming any objects that are placed below it in the same frame?
minimum reproduction:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

root = tk.Tk()
main = tk.Frame(root)
main.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)
tk.Button(main, text="I'm perfectly fine.").pack(fill=tk.X)
ttk.Treeview(main).pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)
tk.Button(main, text="Watch me vanish").pack(side="bottom", fill=tk.X)
root.mainloop()

The button packed below the Treeview will become hidden immediately if you drag up just a little bit, but stays if you drag down, the top one is unaffected. If i fill the treeview with data it seems that the minimum size it begins to fold at expands. Is there a fix for this or something i should be doing instead? (i suppose that answer would be don't put anything under a treeview or don't pack when using treeviews)

[tawdry mulch]

I think it is because the minimum height of Treeview is that much and above that is what the treeview is there

[mental otter]

strangely enough, if i pack to the bottom before packing the TreeView it works properly... i guess that's the answer then. bit of an odd behaviour though

though i guess i don't quite understand how pack works

Help me please
When I change wm_state to zoomed in tkinter, window. resizable (False, False) works crookedly.It hides the task manager

[tawdry mulch]

What?

[pearl yarrow]

simply put window.resizable hides the task manager in python tkinter

oops the taskbar

hahaha

task manager(((

so that's why no one answered me

[tawdry mulch]

It is because when you do root.state('zoomed') it is full screen. Then tkinter automatically rearranges it to fit above the taskbar, but when you disable resizing, it cannot resize and becomes FULL SCREEN

[tawdry mulch]

I don't think anyone here answers about tkinter except me(for now)

[pearl yarrow]

how to fix it?

[tawdry mulch]

Well remove root.resizable(False,False) 😂

[pearl yarrow]

ok

[tawdry mulch]

If you want to see the issue and the explanation for yourself, then:

import tkinter as tk
import time

root = tk.Tk()
root.state('zoomed')
root.update()
time.sleep(2) # See that it originally fits but disabling resize causes issue
root.resizable(0,0)

root.mainloop()

[pearl yarrow]

resizable(0,0)?

[tawdry mulch]

0 is same as bool(False)

[pearl yarrow]

ok

the window has been updated,but when you click on a square, you can click on a square

but the size doesn't really change

[tawdry mulch]

Square?

[pearl yarrow]

im russian((

google translator....

[tawdry mulch]

What did you mean

[pearl yarrow]

how to make it so that you can not click on the cube

[tawdry mulch]

root.resizable(0,0) 😂 Let me check, just a minute

[pearl yarrow]

in general, the element that expands the window is active

[tawdry mulch]

I do not think it is possible

[tawdry mulch]

I understand, just give me a minute

[pearl yarrow]

ok no problem

[tawdry mulch]

Ok this is not the most elegant solution, but check if this is what you want:

[tawdry mulch]

import tkinter as tk

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

root.state('normal')
root.resizable(0,0)
root.geometry(f'{w}x{h}+0+0')

root.mainloop()

[pearl yarrow]

ok, but sorry window is not centralized

[tawdry mulch]

You mean there is gap between the window and left border? I don't think I can reduce that gap

[pearl yarrow]

yes

[tawdry mulch]

Nope, I dont know if I can do anything about it

[pearl yarrow]

and why is it there wm_state zoomed had to fix all this

understand

if you reduce this gap nothing will work

[tawdry mulch]

What?

[pearl yarrow]

if you reduce this gap nothing will work

[tawdry mulch]

I do not know how to reduce this gap

[pearl yarrow]

i noticed from the very beginning that if you change the size to a smaller one than the full screen resizable will work

[digital rose]

Any ideas?

Helping someone make a remainder app

[pearl yarrow]

it work

thanks

in my main project, this works for some reason

[tawdry mulch]

Lol okay 😄
