[modern bay]

Idk

I didn’t write it

[tawdry mulch]

Yea well you asked for it

[modern bay]

I’m just wondering about that one specific part

[tawdry mulch]

Not sure y

[wanton dust]

I attempted to store a non-tkinker variable within the button widget. I was kind of stomped when I was trying to solve my issue.
But now that you asked, I realized I could solve it another way.

[tawdry mulch]

is that your code?

[wanton dust]

Yes.

[proven basin]

Hey @tawdry mulch!

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

[tawdry mulch]

Kay, anyway the user was asking for any improvement, anyway this is how I would make an tic tac toe, not sure if brute force is the best way...

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/eneruweyes.md

[wanton dust]

Cool, I appreciate it. I told myself that I won't look at other solutions until I manage to finish, no matter how "dirty" the code is. However I'm soon finished, and will take a look then. Thanks!

[tawdry mulch]

I am not sure if that is the best attitude, but I do it too, I believe it can atleast make sure we put in a genuine effort from our side

[wanton dust]

It's the attitude that gives the most satisfaction when finished, at least in my experience. But I do agree, it's not an efficient way at all. This project was more to see if I were able to find solutions on my own, in terms of problem solving.

[ivory ember]

from your code it appears you're subclassing QMainWindow from QtGui? It should be from QtWidgets. Try that and let me know if it works.

[hoary pine]

def linenumber():
    line = mylist.get(1.0,END)
    print(line,len(line))
    infol.config(text=len(line.splitlines()))```

```py
mylist =  Text(root)
mylist.pack(side = "bottom",fill=BOTH,expand=1)
root.after(10,linenumber)```
the problem:It prints  and do the root after only one time

[split coyote]

For some reason every time i install any module it always says "No module named...." whyyy

the modules r in the directory theyre supposed to be like any other ive installed

but theyre the only ones that dont work

[tawdry mulch]

which module, what is ur IDE(if any)

[tawdry mulch]

what root?

[hoary pine]

i mean
root.after(10,linenumber)

it only do the loop one time

[tawdry mulch]

Put it inside the function

[hoary pine]

ok

[tawdry mulch]

Outside just do lineumber()

[hoary pine]

thank you

it worked

@tawdry mulch
How to detect which line the player cursor in Text

[tawdry mulch]

Keep in mind you can always google your questions, where most of beginner questions are fixed. For now, you need text_widget.index('insert').

Read the docs too, it has everything you will need to move from beginner squad

[hoary pine]

right,i just found it but i didn't think that it we're the right answer

i am not beginner but ty

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm these types of questions are beginner based

[hoary pine]

an kind of medium

i have been around 9 months in programming

and that is my way to learn new things

learning some basics

and then making projects and learn

[tawdry mulch]

idk man I'm jus 1 year into python and I still would say myself in the beginner transition

[hoary pine]

okay

but this is what you think but not what i think

i cant say am pro

but am good

[tawdry mulch]

I can't be the judge of that, so...🤷‍♂️ Hope you are good 😄

i try to do a scrollbar in tkinter but only the scrollbar is appear and not the label :

global pagechoix_screen
    pagechoix_screen = Tk()

[brave belfry]

is there anyone here with experience in pyqt? I'm attempting to make a desktop app and more or less everything except the GUI is done (from a previous project). I am not sure how to structure the GUI files as it all just becomes spaghetti. Any advice would be appreciated.

[digital rose]

in python tkinter , how do i trigger other gui app using 1st one?

[tawdry mulch]

Usually using a button that is linked to a callback

[digital rose]

thanks for the suggestion i ll try

[merry quartz]

Damn, that's really well made

[hazy willow]

Thanks

[hoary pine]

uhh help

i want to know the line number that the cursor hovering on

[wanton sorrel]

can you share github link of this project ?

[noble star]

I would know some good stuff for video playing, in tkinter

[hazy willow]

what do you mean by the line number the cursor hovering on?

[hazy willow]

I don't have github lol

[proven basin]

@split barn Please don't try to ping @everyone or @here. Your message has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

Hey

is it possible to loop over images and get like a video

with tkinter

[tawdry mulch]

gif prolly

[noble star]

https://tenor.com/view/hein-incompréhension-gif-11423936

[hallow kettle]

Thank you for your response. I changed QtGui to QtWidgets and now I am getting a “QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QWidget”. I am assuming this is because I am not constructing the widget inside the main function. Is it possible for the MainWindow class to call on the Graph class and add the plot widget as the central window?

[noble star]

@tawdry mulch any solution ?

pls

[tawdry mulch]

Which format of image

[noble star]

this one python cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_RGB2GRAY) img = Image.fromarray(cv2image) imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)

[tawdry mulch]

It is an image, how do you expect to animate it

[noble star]

I hove a while loop

[tawdry mulch]

It is a single image right? How will it look like a video

[noble star]

no, it's not a single image

let me share the code

def video_player(self):
        frame_counter = 0
        color_actif = (255, 127, 80)
        color_static = (0, 255, 255)
        thickness = 1
        radius = 5

        cap = cv2.VideoCapture(self.video)

        frame_datas = []

        while(cap.isOpened()):

            ret, frame = cap.read()
            if ret == False:
                break

            # cv2.imshow('video', frame)

            # if cv2.waitKey(25) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
            #     break

            for s in range(self.results_datas.shape[0]):
                if (self.results_datas[s][8] == frame_counter):
                    frame_datas.append(self.results_datas[s])

            for c in range(np.array(frame_datas).shape[0]):
                frame = cv2.circle(frame, (int(np.rint(frame_datas[c][1])), int(
                    np.rint(frame_datas[c][0]))), radius, color_actif, thickness)

            cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_RGB2GRAY)
            img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
            imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)

            # my_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("images/img.jpg"))
            # # self.canvas.delete("all")
            # self.canvas.create_image(0, 0, anchor='center', image=my_image)

            # # Setting the image on the label
            # self.video_playing_space.config(image=imgtk)
            time.sleep(0.1)  # 0.1 for 10 frames/sec
            # self.canvas.update()  # Updates the Tkinter window

            frame_datas.clear()
            print(frame_counter)

            frame_counter += 1

            # print(frame_counter)  # <------- To delete after tests
            # return frame_datas

            cap.release()
            cv2.destroyAllWindows()```

[tawdry mulch]

hmmhmm? So where do you want to show this image? Which widget

[noble star]

canvas or frame

as it's possibee

possible*

[tawdry mulch]

A Label makes more sense, anyway append those images onto a list, make the list global, then loop through this list and then show it in a label, you could show it inside the code itself, but you see, time.sleep() will freeze the GUI

[noble star]

when I implemented it on structural programm it works with a simple label, that I config in each iteration

but on OOP, in a class

I don't works

here is python video.config(image=imgtk) time.sleep(0.1) frame1.update() # Updates the Tkinter window

[tawdry mulch]

As I said avoid time.sleep()

[noble star]

I puted that cause it works really fast, we can't see the video

like I have too much FPS

[tawdry mulch]

Use root.after()

Show me the function with config again

[noble star]

which one ?

[tawdry mulch]

This

[noble star]

you would me to use root.after()

and show to result ?

[tawdry mulch]

No without that, the old codes that does the update, with loops and config() all

[noble star]

here is ```python
path = open()

frame_counter = 0
color = (255, 127, 80)
thickness = 1
radius = 5

pause = False

Frames = video_to_images(path)
trajectories = np.array(processing(Frames))

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(path)

frame_datas = []

while(cap.isOpened()):

    ret, frame = cap.read()
    if ret == False:
        break

    for s in range(trajectories.shape[0]):
        if (trajectories[s][8] == frame_counter):
            frame_datas.append(trajectories[s])

    for c in range(np.array(frame_datas).shape[0]):
        frame = cv2.circle(frame, (int(np.rint(frame_datas[c][1])), int(
            np.rint(frame_datas[c][0]))), radius, color, thickness)

    cv2image = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGBA)
    img = Image.fromarray(cv2image)
    imgtk = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=img)

    # Setting the image on the label
    video.config(image=imgtk)
    time.sleep(0.1)
    frame1.update()  # Updates the Tkinter window

    frame_datas.clear()
    print(frame_counter)

    frame_counter += 1

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()```

video is just a Label

[tawdry mulch]

Okay, try changing while ..... to if then add root.after(100,func_name) inside this if at the bottom, then remove time.sleep(0.1)

[noble star]

okay thnx

I got something

with another technique

[tawdry mulch]

Happy as long as it works 😄

[noble star]

but wait lol

let me show you the result

why the image is not completely displaying

[tawdry mulch]

You mean not taking entire space?

[noble star]

yes, and my video is more large then this

[tawdry mulch]

Dont know, might be something internal

For the space, I have to see your Label creation

[noble star]

I used canvas

self.canvas.create_image(20, 20, anchor='center', image=imgtk)

[tawdry mulch]

maybe anchor='nw'?

[noble star]

for 20, 20

it's the starting x and y no ?

[tawdry mulch]

x,y coordinates, starting depends on how your anchor is set

[noble star]

🥳

it works

[tawdry mulch]

Preferably using the KeySequenceEdit button provided

[ember dragon]

is there a way to add list of songs in tkinter?

[tawdry mulch]

yes? but what do you mean

[ember dragon]

like insert mp3 files

and then i can play them later

[tawdry mulch]

Not with tkinter, you should use pygame or something else @ember dragon

You can check out https://github.com/nihaalnz/MPlayer/blob/main/mplayer.py to see how I implemented

Or see this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/68359266/13382000

[ember dragon]

ok, thanks i will check it

[ember dragon]

but should i switch or continue using tkinter for the gui?

[tawdry mulch]

nono you can use tkinter for GUI and pygame for the music mixer

[ember dragon]

alright

[hazy willow]

wait you could do mp3 files with pygame?

that's cool

[tawdry mulch]

there are more modules for this, but nothing that gives you flexibility like pygame and also it is threaded

[digital rose]

Is QT free?

[hazy willow]

Oh wow, that’s cool

[hallow kettle]

Is there official pyqtgraph animation for real time plotting, or do you have to implement threading?

[dire tinsel]

someone know how can i add a font into an exe who was convert with pyinstaller ?

[native scarab]

in my opinion, it would be easier to change the font in your program before convert it

[dire tinsel]

i don't understand

[native scarab]

i think that you should modify the font with python code line and convert it to exe after

[dire tinsel]

mmm yes but i'm not going to have the font which i want in that way

[sterile dove]

I have two questions about tkinter, how would I get the "Separator:" label and it's corresponding combobox on the same line, and while my horizontal scrollbar works, visually it shows that it takes up the whole bar. I'll post a snippet in a second.

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")

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

[sterile dove]

I imagine I use tkinter's grid() function for the former, but I'm kinda shaky on how it works per se.

[sterile dove]

Nevermind, I got it to work with grid() and Frame()

thank you

[safe barn]

icons in the header are not on the same height/same size
icons are not the same style/ same line thickness/weight (especially the discover icon)

image looks scaled too wide in my opinion (this is because that the description, favourite/comment icons, profilephoto, title/subtitle are in a different box) i dont have this with instagram because it scales to the full width of your device

make a dark theme ;) or even better a dracula theme

i would not make the name and title not the same size (make title 12 and the subtitle 11/10)
place the title/subtitle directly beneath eachother

Not:
TITLE

subtitle

Do:
Tittle
subttile

[ember dragon]

i did it already!

[tawdry mulch]

You mean the listbox should disappear?

Create the listbox in the main block then do an if and check if the widget is on the placed, then remove the widget or place the widget

from tkinter import * 

def list_box():
    if listbox.winfo_ismapped(): # If not placed....
        listbox.pack_forget() # Place
    else:
        listbox.pack() # If placed, then forget

window = Tk()

window.geometry('600x400')
window.config(bg='black')
button1 = Button(text='Button',bg='white',command=list_box) # Create it just once
button1.pack()

listbox = Listbox(window,bg='grey',font=('constantia',13))
listbox.insert(1,'test')

window.mainloop()

[noble star]

why tkinter Entry returns me AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'input'

[icy flower]

Thank sir

[tawdry mulch]

First of all entry does not have input method I think, then your Entry() is not because you do Entry().pack() or grid or whatever

[hazy willow]

Ok so, I am trying to import a png file into my glinted ui

I know it’s supposed to be in the same file

But I keep getting error message

[noble star]

here is my code

self.fps = StringVar()
def fps_manager(self, text):
        self.fps_entry.set(text)

self.frame_up = Button(
            fps_frame, image=self.up_icon, command=lambda: self.fps_manager("new"))
        self.frame_up.grid(row=1, column=0)

        self.fps_entry = Entry(
            fps_frame, width=5, justify=CENTER, textvariable=self.fps)
        self.fps_entry.grid(row=1, column=1) ```

[noble star]

I changed that by "set"

[noble star]

Yeah that's what I found on internet

[tawdry mulch]

so ya

[noble star]

so.. is there any solution ?

[tawdry mulch]

I said right?

self.fps_entry = Entry(....)
self.fps_entry.grid(row=1,column=1)

But even then keep in mind, self.fps_entry dont have set(), self.fps has set()

[noble star]

Yes you're right

[noble star]

That's what I tried

It's not working

[tawdry mulch]

As I said here....#user-interfaces message

[noble star]

But, look I still it from here xD

https://www.delftstack.com/fr/howto/python-tkinter/how-to-set-text-of-tkinter-entry-widget-by-using-a-button/

You did not copy it correctly

[noble star]

Yeah

lol

[tawdry mulch]

def fps_manager(self, text):
    self.fps.set(text)

[noble star]

you are right

exactly bro

thank you

nice

a last thing

for self.fps = StringVar()

could we affect a default value ?

[tawdry mulch]

"affect"?

[noble star]

yes like self.fps = somethng

[noble star]

allocate or assign

[tawdry mulch]

Prolly you need self.fps = StringVar(value='whatever string')

[noble star]

let me try it

https://tenor.com/view/yes-nice-nod-thumbs-up-gif-12292330

[tawdry mulch]

Cool

[noble star]

is discord made by Next.js ?

[ember dragon]

thankss

[noble star]

What are the supported opperations on IntVar ?

[tawdry mulch]

operation?

[noble star]

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +=: 'IntVar' and 'int'

yes like +=

[tawdry mulch]

you will have to use get()

[ember dragon]

i have a listbox, but instead of making a submit button i want to submit the choice with double click, how can i do that?

[noble star]

Is this code true

def fps_upper(self):

        self.fps = self.fps.get() + 1
        self.fps.set(self.fps)```

🤔

No it's not correct

[lime monolith]

self.fps = self.fps.get() + 1```
will overwrite the instance of `IntVar` with the result
use
```py
    def fps_upper(self):
        self.fps.set(self.fps.get() + 1)```

[noble star]

Yeehhh

[tawdry mulch]

use bind

[ember dragon]

yea, but i could only use it once, i am not sure how to use another one of it

[tawdry mulch]

another?

[ember dragon]

like this

root.bind'<Double-Button-1>',func2)```

[tawdry mulch]

What is wrong?

[ember dragon]

the second one overwrite the first one i think

the first does not occure

but if i removed second, it works

[tawdry mulch]

First of all, there is prolly a syntax error

[ember dragon]

no no

i just typed wrong

[tawdry mulch]

2nd of all bind to the listbox

[ember dragon]

dont mind it

so i create a function for the listbox?

[tawdry mulch]

listbox.bind('<Double-Button-1>',func1)

[ember dragon]

ooh, i will try it now

it worked!

[tawdry mulch]

Cool 😄

[ember dragon]

thankss again

[proven basin]

Hey @tawdry mulch!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.mkv). We currently allow the following file types: .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .png, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .webm, .webp, .flac, .m4a.

Feel free to ask in #community-meta if you think this is a mistake.

[tawdry mulch]

Here is a little something made with tkinter

[floral meteor]

what do u think is better pyqt or kivy?

[worthy ridge]

Qt

[maiden roost]

is it possible in tkinter to automatically press a button once a set amount of digits are put in by the user in a entry box

[tawdry mulch]

Yes, actually if you think too much, pressing a button --> Calls a function, so instead of pressing a button, just call the function when the digits are entered

[maiden roost]

I’m still extremely new to coding so bear with me. I understand the point you are trying to get across, but I don’t know how, yet , to call a function just by the computer seeing there is 7 digits and to run a definition. So how I type to call this function? And thank you for your input!

[tawdry mulch]

Functions are called by using () after their name, anyway, if your extremely new, the best way to learn is to show the code you are using, rather than complicate it with words

[ember dragon]

that's cool

hello everyone, i am making a minecraft server manager in python, and in a minecraft server, there is a .properties file that contains all its properties. i would like to make a graphical editor out of it, i made this using a loop and tkinter, but this is only to show what i want to do, could you please give me some hints?

maybe a class ?

[tawdry mulch]

Usually you would bind to the self.window, because that expands right

[tawdry mulch]

Hints about what?

[frozen current]

about generate entry from all the key in the file, and update it after modification on the gui, but @atomic lagoon tell me how to doing that in dm

[tawdry mulch]

if you looped through and made those entries and bla bla, it looks fine

[frozen current]

yeah the problem was to get the entry after the loop

[tawdry mulch]

solved right?

[frozen current]

Im gonna try later, but it look like

[tawdry mulch]

If not, just create a list, then append all the entries to the list. So later you can loop through the list and get the values

[frozen current]

this is what PyKing proposes

[ember dragon]

i used bind on a listbox, when i click the list appears, but when i click again the items in list appears twice

Hello, I just found out about PyQT5 and QT Designer, read its documentation but it lacks proper understanding of the package.

Can I get help on how QT Designer works and get the UI imported to a python file?

[tawdry mulch]

How come, show the code

[tawdry mulch]

You can ask here

[ember dragon]

root.mainloop()```

it will work if you have music folder in current directory

and there are songs in it

[hoary cypress]

I want to know how the designer can link signals to widgets, and is it possible to make adding widgets dynamically by user input in the designer itself, and how the code extraction works

[ember dragon]

the for loop repeats and print the list again

[tawdry mulch]

In my 1 month experience with this, I have never seen anyone do the signaling in the designer, I do not think there is an option for it, afterall, it is just a designer, it is not aware of the function we can use/make. Code extraction just creates a code of your project, basically like ui --> py file

To get the code, there are 3 ways, I think. 1 is to go to Form on the top of the designer and view python code, the 2nd is to directly use the ui file, the 3rd is to convert from ui to py manually

1st is the easy as it is within the designer, the 2nd is also nice, because any changes made to the ui in the designer will directly reflect in the main python program fast

[tawdry mulch]

which part creates the issue?

[ember dragon]

def fun1(event):
    f=(listbox.get(listbox.curselection()))
    if f=='beet':
       lb_beet.place(x=100,y=0)
       #doub['state']='disabled'
    for nums, names in zip(fs,arr):
        print (lb_beet.size())
        lb_beet.insert(nums,names)```

if you double clicked it will list the songs

if you clicked again the loop will repeat

[tawdry mulch]

ok then add lb_beet.delete(0,'end') before the loop starts?

[hoary cypress]

cool thanks

[ember dragon]

i will try

it worked nicee

[tawdry mulch]

Cool, usually you need the for inside the if, I do not know what you need here, but usually it is like that

[ember dragon]

it loops through the files

in the folder

and display them

and the if statement, u may choose other thing than beet, if u chose something else

it displays songs from another folder

and so on

like album

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmm I see

Hey guys, I'm trying to implement Qthread with multiple checkboxes as shown here

check box 1 will run method 1 and check box 2 will run method 2

here's the code

import sys

        print ('method_1 started')
        time.sleep(2)
        print ('method_1 finished')
        self.finished.emit()

    @Py#7454qtSlot()

                print('method_2 error')


app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
app.exec_()

it kinda works, the issue is that I don't know how to connect a worker with a method

[tawdry mulch]

!code

[proven basin]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[junior oyster]

I'm connecting the push button to my methods but I know that's not right since I have 2. When I try to connect self.worker with my method_1 it works but the UI freezes meaning qtread is not being used. Is there a way to do this?

   def run_inference(self):
        if self.checkbox_1.isChecked() == True:
            try:
                self.button_1.clicked.connect(self.worker.method_1)
                #self.worker.method_1()
            except:
                print('method_1 error')

[willow kindle]

How do I center using grid when I only have one column on tkinter?

I'm so lost rn

[tawdry mulch]

Show the code please, usually sticky='news' or something

[willow kindle]

I managed to do it using pack

[tawdry mulch]

Cool, but always better to use grid().

[willow kindle]

Is it tho?
I find it way more complicated.
Using pack() and some Frames feels more straight forward

[tawdry mulch]

If you are ready to use grid() inside of the frame, then it is nice

The best way to manage is to combine pack() nad grid() like that

[hazy willow]

Hey, can someone help me install pygame on my computer? I tried to watch youtube videos contaning it but i get the error message when i put "python3 -m pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev6"

sudo easy_install pip

python3 -m pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev6

[digital rose]

my pygame overlay library, the text is a bit screwy and idk why

it seems to be drawing it multiple times

[spark prism]

oml

u made that?

[digital rose]

yeah

if you're not tabbed into whatever it's overlaying over it will stop drawing & hide the overlay

Nerdie send the code somewhere so i can see why multiple times

await overlay.handle()
                await overlay.draw_text(Vector(10, 0, 30, 30), 'red', 'Welcome Nerdie!', tahoma_font)
                await overlay.draw_text(Vector(10, 20, 30, 30), 'green', '', tahoma_font)
                await overlay.draw_text(Vector(10, 40, 30, 30), 'blue', f'Bhop: {self.cheat_settings.get_value("bhop")}', tahoma_font)

the code for that

with really bad indenting

[digital rose]

do you mind if i just dm you the python module?

[digital rose]

Sure but im too tired for this so id probs be as useful as a dinosaur playing basketball

[digital rose]

alright 1 sec

[tribal path]

Tried added prints to confirm its being called just twice? And have you traced though what could be calling the function this is in

[nimble wasp]

Can u help with that? I mean, I'm working on a school project and I've done everything using the grid() method, but I don't like how it looks and I want to switch to pack() but am not quite sure how to do it.

[tawdry mulch]

Ig he made the overlay, not the game....

[tawdry mulch]

Show the code, please. If you are asking about making it flexible, it can be done using weight

bruh UI in python

🤣

TUI should be for python but GUI lol

[noble star]

I don't really know, I'm actually coding a GUI with tkinter and .. voila

[noble star]

Where do I post it ?

[tawdry mulch]

is this error due to tkinter?

[noble star]

I don't think

[tawdry mulch]

Then you can ask for help in help channels

Ahh okay

thankx

Hey guys, I was participating in a hackathon at my school where I had to make a GUI Application. I have used TKinter and made an app similar to Notepad. I would love if you guys would go and have a look at my project and maybe suggest me something. https://github.com/iDCoded/D-Pad

[tawdry mulch]

First thing I see, global on the main block, it does no good, you can remove it

[molten zealot]

Ohh okay, thanks for your suggestions. I have a look

[tawdry mulch]

Then if opened_file_address != "": is same as if opened_file_address:

[molten zealot]

Great! Thanks a lot man.

[tawdry mulch]

root.quit() does not really close the app. It just exits the mainloop() working behind, if you want to exit the mainloop and close the app, use root.destroy()

Other than that and some missing features like the 'Show sidebar' button, the rest seems fine and well built 😄

[spark prism]

wow

[tawdry mulch]

Whats so wow 🤔😂

[spark prism]

tbh idk I just said wow to remove the ping

I want to connect a function to my QThread. When I used self.thread.change_value.connect(self.function) it showed me an attribute error. What am I suppose to use instead of change_value. Please help me. Ping me on reply.

[distant swift]

Wow, I want to learn how to make cool games like this.

[tight ice]

anyone here use ursina?

[tawdry mulch]

I do not think the user made the game, it was csgo, but the overlay is the text on top of it

[blazing pine]

Hi @hallow kettle pyqtgraph maintainer here, while there is some multiprocessing support baked into the library, it's not actually used often. Generally the library expects you to call your plotitem's setData method with the data you want to update; you shouldn't need threading on its own (unless you're doing a lot of processing on the data coming in, in which case that's another story)

[digital rose]

l9l

lol*

it's just an overlay

[molten zealot]

Hey, the Show Sidebar does work.
If you right-click anywhere on the Sidebar, you will get an option to collapse it, and to get it back again, you can go to View > Show Sidebar

[distant swift]

Mm, whatever it looks good

[distant swift]

Somebody help me.. pls...

[digital rose]

lets be honest here

who tf doing uis in python

[blazing pine]

as a maintainer of pyqtgraph, I do, and so do a bunch of my users (many of which are in experimental labs). Anyone that wants to do interactive stuff involving numpy arrays....

[digital rose]

i hope someone doesnt introduce you to c#

[blazing pine]

what makes you think I haven't written code in C# before? it's a fine language; it doesn't have access to the pydata ecosystem which really is second to none.

[plush stream]

What's wrong with it?

[spark prism]

im downbad for some front end tkinter programmers rn

Is there anyone here who is expert in QThread and its signals and slots ?

[blazing pine]

not an expert but I use QThreads in my project (and pass data in/out via signals/slots)

Hello guys. Can somebody give me a quick tip on how to lock mouse input from the user, but the script can move the cursor? I am using pyautogui, and I want to make it so pyautogui can move the cursor, put the user can't. Anybody got an idea? (don't worry, I'm making a silly prank to show to my friends, not a malicious app, I will make it so you need to go through an input continue yes/no before the script actually executes, also I hope I used the right channel.)

[sturdy skiff]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44195766/getting-wrong-row-index-after-clicking-on-button-in-qtablewidget-cell-in-python
Anyone know the solution to this question? I have the same problem

[blazing pine]

@sturdy skiff you are likely using the wrong coordinate system; which happens all the time so don't be surprised... for my use-cases, I typically do

# isinstance(self, ListView) is True here

localPos = self.mapFromGlobal(event.pos())
index = self.indexAt(localPos) 

[sturdy skiff]

I’ll try it out and lyk thanks! Although self.sender().pos() has been working except in this one case

row = self.get_sender_row()

local_pos = self.mapFromGlobal(self.sender().pos())
print(self.table.indexAt(local_pos))

output

<PySide6.QtCore.QModelIndex(-1,-1,0x0,QObject(0x0)) at 0x7fc027666280>
activated by row 1: index = 1, status = True, text = Sold

The first line of output is from mapFromGlobal, weirdly giving negatives and the second line is from self.get_sender_row() which uses self.sender().pos(), giving me the right row all the time except in one case @blazing pine

[blazing pine]

so self.sender().pos() is likely not giving you global coordinates ...EDIT: well maybe

in this case, what type is self.sender()?

[sturdy skiff]

<class ‘PySise6.QWidgets.QComboBox’> in both the working cases and the one faulty one

[blazing pine]

don't you need the coordinates of the mouse position (or mouse event more specifically) not the combo box itself?

[sturdy skiff]

I need the row because I’m duplicating the row and a combo box element is in one of the columns

the top is before i click the duplicate button

[blazing pine]

right, my point is when you're calling self.sender().pos() you're not getting the position/index your mouse is over, you're getting generic information about the position of the QComboBox. If you want to get information about what the mouse is over/clicking on, you need to look at the mouse event position.

[sturdy skiff]

wouldnt a qpushbutton sender pos and mouse event position on the button essentially give me the same thing?

[blazing pine]

sure, but there is only one element of a qpushbutton... or only one index; so you can't really get it wrong there

w/ QComboBox, you need more than just the fact that a QComboBox got clicked, you need to know which index was clicked on

[sturdy skiff]

The root of the problem is when I duplicate the combobox, i set the current index to whatever the original's is and this calls the function i set to currentIndexChanged. It duplicates in the right position but it randomly gives me that 0, 0 point after which the function set to currentIndexChanged uses thus unexpectedly modifying the first row

seems like my best bet is ignoring the function set to currentIndexChanged if its called from the duplicate function

[blazing pine]

sorry this sort of thing I struggle to grasp mentally without a dummy example replicating the issue.

generally speaking position mapping and conversion from one coordinate system to another (global, local, device, scene) can easily be messed up

(I always wished QEvent.pos() contained a "coordinate system" attribute so you can know what coordinate system the numerical values are represented from ....

[sturdy skiff]

no worries, ill either see if i can somehow get the function set on combobox.currentIndexChanged to not call when manually changing the index (combobox.setCurrentIndex(idx)) or just do this method im replying too

thanks for explaining how a lot of the positioning works, will def be helpful in the future

[blazing pine]

FWIW it's not like I had this memorized, I had to look at one of my own Qt applications to see how I did it (searched for "indexAt").

pyqtgraph's TargetItem has a ton of conversions between coordinate systems, you may or may not find useful: https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/blob/master/pyqtgraph/graphicsItems/TargetItem.py

[sturdy skiff]

ill def take a look, thanks for your time again!

can someone help me over #help-kiwi ? I'm having an issue with pygame where the main menu is skipped when the code runs

[willow kindle]

Is there a way to reduce loading times when using .pack() and .pack_forget() ?

[hoary cypress]

I need help related to PyQT5. It's a stupid one, but I don't really know as a beginner on how to fix it :

Issue : I have added images in the UI using QT Designer app. NOTE : The images are in a different folder as that of the file. I, then, converted the .ui to .py and added the simple following code for the window to show :

import sys

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (
    QApplication, QDialog, QMainWindow, QMessageBox
)

from UI import Main_Window #UI is the folder where the converted file is saved

class Main_Window_Class(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.ui = Main_Window.Ui_MainWindow()
        self.ui.setupUi(self)
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = Main_Window_Class()
    win.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

Also, another thing to note, the generated file do have the path of the images. I don't know what's the issue here..

The path is located as follows in the generated file :

icon.addPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap("../Resources/Enter.png"), QtGui.QIcon.Normal, QtGui.QIcon.Off)

[digital rose]

MainWidget:

<MainWidget>:
    Button:
        text: "heelo world"  ```
   "message": "Kivy files require #:kivy !",
```py
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
class MainWidget(Widget):
    pass

class ThelapApp(App):
    pass


if __name__ == '__main__':
    ThelapApp().run()
ThelapApp().run()```

[hoary cypress]

Nvm fixed it

[wooden stirrup]

Shouldn't need to convert ui to py

Seems odd but it's way better to not to

https://gitlab.com/mikeramsey/copier-poetry-fbs

Can just load ui in directly makes updating easier and live development possible without converting to python all the time

https://gitlab.com/mikeramsey/qvpnstatus/-/blob/master/src/main/python/qvpnstatus/main.py#L72

[proven basin]

src/main/python/qvpnstatus/main.py line 72

mainwindow_ui = appctxt.get_resource("ui/mainwindow.ui")```

[wooden stirrup]

Can see how I load icons ui etc with lambdas

Reusable stuff I use in all my pyqt5 projects first link is for my custom skeleton copier with poetry and fbs for pyqt5 apps rapid prototyping

https://gitlab.com/mikeramsey/qvpnstatus/-/blob/master/src/main/python/qvpnstatus/settings.py#L23-30

[proven basin]

src/main/python/qvpnstatus/settings.py lines 23 to 30

# Create ui files path from app path and setup lambda to make it easy to use
ui_dir = os.path.join(app_path, 'ui')
ui_path = lambda name: (os.path.join(ui_dir, name))
ui_loader = lambda name, parent: uic.loadUi(ui_path(name), parent)

# Setup Qsettings for app name
app_settings = QtCore.QSettings('qvpnstatus', 'QVpnStatus')
config_data_dir = Path("qvpnstatus/QVpnStatus")```

[wooden stirrup]

I spent long trying to use the resources stuff and they like nuked it I think in pyqt6 iirc so I've been just dynamically loading the stuff I need like in the above which works nicely with fbs or pyinstaller etc

[hoary cypress]

I do have to convert them to py. Acc to my knowledge, designer can only perform certain sets of functions and for using custom ones, you have code it, so its kind of necessary in this case to convert it to py

[wooden stirrup]

You can load ui object and then add your custom code to that widget

I did that for my terminal

Just add placeholder qwidget

And after ui loaded load your custom code onto it

[hoary cypress]

so will it work if I have to work with dynamic widgets and toggles?

[wooden stirrup]

No need to do it all that way just for the custom stuff

Yeah

Totally the whole convert to to py pyuic bs is time wasted

Spent months ducking with that only to find out its not needed at all lol

[hoary cypress]

cool I'll try it

thanks

[wooden stirrup]

I'm in pool atm but I can show you snippets when near pc if your need more clarification

Do all you can in ui file

Then add your custom stuff after that is loaded

[hoary cypress]

not a problem, I'll figure it out

[wooden stirrup]

My pleasure hope that saves you alot of hassle nothing like being able to mod ui file in qt designer and restart gui in pycharm to test without that extra steps ;)

[blazing pine]

the ui -> template .py files for each set of supported bindings is always a thorn in my side (we do this in pyqtgraph). I think there are some bindings we support that don't have the ability to load ui files directly ...can't remember the specifics tho (I want to say pyside2 5.14.0 -> 5.14.2.2)

[wooden stirrup]

Pyside can do it too just slightly different syntaxes let me find you the example

https://www.mfitzp.com/forum/t/graphwidget-with-pyside2/274/3

I think that's what your looking for possibly?

Is using .close() for closing a window good practice or there are better methods or it's the only method?

[blazing pine]

.close() is a perfectly valid/good method...

I know this is stretching the limit of "user-interfaces" but does anyone know how I would assign an array of line widths; for example I'm using

# handle array of colors
glEnableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY)
glColorPointerf(self.color)

# currently only handles one line width :(
glLineWidth(self.edgeWidth)

# draws all my lines after passing an array of them
glDrawElements(GL_LINES, edges.shape[0], GL_UNSIGNED_INT, edges)

EDIT: for the record I'm a super-n00b when it comes to openGL; I'm working on expanding functionality in pyqtgraph

[trail heron]

For pyqt5 do you guys recommend using the designer or hard coding?

[blazing pine]

I hard-code out of habit, easier to migrate your code to different bindings if you need to

I don't think one way or the other is "better", it's a matter of what you're comfortable with

[trail heron]

Alright thanks, ill try both

[blazing pine]

I guess I would phrase it as the better way is the way you actually use 😄

[hoary cypress]

what is the best way to change the icon image using its checked property

without using custom pushbuttons

[vale ivy]

Hi, is there anyone here good with tkinter? I need help with a little something

[ivory ember]

I prefer hard-coding

Im trying to get python and git setup on pydroid3 IDE and termux on my phone, I'm following this guide but this step confuses me. Can someone give me more insight about the "go to my web service and create a package" means?

I'll have to copy the text since there's no files

Here:

Your first start
Take your favorite web hosting service, create a package in it. Copy the link to clone it. Then go on your device and open Termux. run the command cd /emulated/storage/0/programming/, your are now in your programming folder. Clone your repo with the following git clone https://web-hosting.com/myRepo (replace the link with the one you copied). When it's done, open your pydroid3 app, and open your cloned repo. Don't forget to add your package in the iiec_run.py.

I'm pretty new to using git so and I'm not exactly sure what this is doing here and what I actually need to do.

Yes exactly

[wooden stirrup]

Qt designer for everything that can be done

Lambda for signal checked state which toggles qicon

I'd have to dig through my other app when on desktop to find you an example I know I have one for saving qsettings for actions checked state should be reusable

Some snippets

self.qIcon = lambda name: QtGui.QIcon(os.path.join(self.app_icon_path, name))


# Get absolute path to current dir app is running from even when frozen
app_path = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])))

# Create app icons path from above and setup lambda to make it easy to use
app_icon_path = os.path.join(app_path, 'images')
qIcon = lambda name: QtGui.QIcon(os.path.join(app_icon_path, name))


self.topdockWidget_view_action.triggered.connect(
            lambda visibility: self.toggle_visibility_widget('topdockWidget_view_action', visibility))
        self.leftdockWidget_view_action.triggered.connect(
            lambda visibility: self.toggle_visibility_widget('leftdockWidget_view_action', visibility))
        self.dnschecksdockWidget_view_action.triggered.connect(
            lambda visibility: self.toggle_visibility_widget('dnschecksdockWidget_view_action', visibility))
        self.rightdockWidget_view_action.triggered.connect(
            lambda visibility: self.toggle_visibility_widget('rightdockWidget_view_action', visibility))



    @staticmethod
    def value_to_bool(value):
        return value.lower() == 'true' if isinstance(value, str) else bool(value)

    def toggle_visibility_widget(self, widget, state):
        self.settings.setValue(str(widget), state)



browser.titleChanged.connect(lambda _, i=i, browser=browser: self.setTabIcon(i, terminal_icon_inactive) if (
                "WebSSH" in browser.page().title()) else self.setTabIcon(i, terminal_icon))

You can kinda get the idea of how you can use the checked state and if you use another lamba to set the Qicon for the button background or whatever or label pretty easily

actually i think you could probably do it too with QTCSS active properties too potentially

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/PySide6/QtWidgets/QPushButton.html

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/overviews/stylesheet.html
https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/overviews/stylesheet-reference.html#qt-style-sheets-reference
https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/overviews/stylesheet-reference.html#list-of-pseudo-states

[blazing pine]

Signals connected to lambdas that reference self can cause Python reference count issues. In PyQtGraph we removed all usages there.

I think the issue was only prevalent in one set of bindings, can't remember if it was the PyQt or PySide bindings, but the issue was "silent" enough that we just removed that design pattern everywhere

[wooden stirrup]

Interesting. There's definitely lots of ways to accomplish the same objective so it's always trial and error and lots of testing to find right one ;)

[blazing pine]

We tried using functools.partial with no success either 😦

[wooden stirrup]

The only one I recall was thinking qsettings wrote immediately to disk even with cache disabled but it didn't lol

Damn now that's rough that's one of the other usual gotos

I tried to avoid globals but still have to use them for some things cause other stuff even with sqlite can have state issues at times

Saving widget states is royal pita for anything besides just positions and size

[blazing pine]

I wish I could remember which bindings it was; can probably track it down if I dig through the issue tracker/closed pull requests

[hoary cypress]

Uhh guys, I need ideas related to PyQT5 dynamic widget creation and placing of them. I do know how to create labels dynamically, but I am kind of confused on the placing and scrollbar settings stuff.

Actually, I have a space in my app (text browser) and I want to add the label on it on the top, left side (Its the easy part).

But, the hard part, I want one more widget to be created right just below the first one created, but on the right side. But, the label has adjust size property, so it will get scaled by the text.

For placing :
I am thinking of getting x on left and right side. Create the first label (which will be in the fixed position), and for the second label, I am thinking of placing the label in x-axis already planned, and add (1-2) values in the y-axis obtained from the first label.

For scrollbar :
I still don't know how to use it properly. Specifically, I will be using vertical scrollbar. I don't know how to make the system know that the label has surpassed the y-level and vertical scrollbar has to be shown and the 'maximum' to be adjusted acc. to the reach of the label.

Any ideas on how to improvise the placing thing, and help in the scrollbar thing.

And also, do labels have a fixed property for limiting x-axis (width) to a value

[tawdry mulch]

[vale ivy]

This is not working, can someone point something out.

[swift halo]

@vale ivy Did you mean root = Tk()?

[vale ivy]

👀

[vale ivy]

thank you! looking at the same thing for to long made me blind

[trail heron]

is it possible to use css with tkinter?

or any similar design ways

its so difficult to make tkinter look nice

[oak saffron]

Just use another library ^^ like Dear PyGUI or QT or Kivi

[wooden stirrup]

Yeah qt had css style sheets which is real nice not given kivy a try in awhile but that is good to know

[vale ivy]

Does anyone here know how to create multiple labels with a loop?

[tawdry mulch]

Yes sure

[vale ivy]

I want to create labels that hold images

i want to be able to loop through a folder and display all the images on a window

To test it out, i make all the bg a different color

but the images dont show#

[lime monolith]

The images are probably being garbage collected, do you keep a reference to them?

[vale ivy]

No, I just assume they will stay there because Im making a new label with a different image

[lime monolith]

Add
Label_name.img2 = img2

[tawdry mulch]

Anyway you will need self.img2 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(....)

[wraith aspen]

I want to make a really quick and basic front-end for adding entries of DnD miniatures to my postgres database.
In its most basic form, it only needs to navigate to a folder and display a selected .jpg image from that folder, and take text input in predetermined fields. Eventually; get lists from the database and display those list in drop down menus, sanitise input, shortcuts, etc.

A TUI would be cool, but I think I need a GUI because of the image thing (there is a really cool program in Rust for displaying images in the terminal but ...). Tk is fine for now but Kivy or DPG looks really good.

Questions:
If I am still a novice, and I want to get just something functional up really quickly, should I build a basic program using Kivy or DPG (docs from both look fairly complicated to me)?

If I use Tk, is it easy to upgrade to Kivy or DPG in the future and are there any pitfalls I should be aware of, or ways to make the Tk code more modular?

[vale ivy]

😫

[tawdry mulch]

if it is as simple as you say, tk alone will be fine

[vale ivy]

I made a class for the images but still not working

[tawdry mulch]

Did you try what was said here?

[vale ivy]

thats basically what i done

the class where create_label is for the whole page

[tawdry mulch]

Did you say self.img2 = ... ?

[vale ivy]

The class that is for individual images has self.

[wraith aspen]

Awesome, I was hoping as much. The tk docs are great and it's only local, I care not about anything pretty at the moment. Thanks boss, it's always good to get a bit of feedback.

[tawdry mulch]

See first of all, stop posting images of code, just paste the code itself, so we can copy it and modify and paste back

[vale ivy]

sorry, its because it's messy😅

will do

[tawdry mulch]

Not the entire code, just the code in the images you posted

[tawdry mulch]

start with this please

[vale ivy]

class App(tk.Frame):
def init(self, master=None):
super().init(master)
self.master = master
self.pack()
self.counter = 0
self.colour = ["red", "blue"]

def create_lable(self,img):
    img1 = Image.open(img)
    resized = img1.resize((100, 100), Image.ANTIALIAS)
    img2 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(resized)
    Lable_name = tk.Label(self.master,image=img2,bg=self.colour[self.counter])
    Lable_name.pack()
    self.counter+=1
    #Lable_name.place(x=row, y=column, anchor='center')

####################################

####################################

class Page:

class for individual images

[tawdry mulch]

Please follow:

[proven basin]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[vale ivy]

class App(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        super().__init__(master)
        self.master = master
        self.pack()
        self.counter = 0
        self.colour = ["red", "blue"]

    def create_lable(self,img):
        img1 = Image.open(img)
        resized = img1.resize((100, 100), Image.ANTIALIAS)
        img2 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(resized)
        Lable_name = tk.Label(self.master,image=img2,bg=self.colour[self.counter])
        Lable_name.pack()
        self.counter+=1
        #Lable_name.place(x=row, y=column, anchor='center')

[tawdry mulch]

Perfect

@vale ivy Now try this:

def create_lable(self,img):
        img1 = Image.open(img)
        resized = img1.resize((100, 100), Image.ANTIALIAS)
        self.img2 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(resized)
        Lable_name = tk.Label(self.master,image=self.img2,bg=self.colour[self.counter])
        Lable_name.pack()
        self.counter+=1
        #Lable_name.place(x=row, y=column, anchor='center')

[vale ivy]

    def __init__(self, page):
        self.page = page

[wraith aspen]

just note label and lable when calling that function btw

[vale ivy]

Ok, the last image is showing now

[tawdry mulch]

@vale ivy Hmmmm something wrong with the code prior of the way you are storing this, paste the entire code in the site below

!paste

[proven basin]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[tawdry mulch]

yea shouldn't name variables confusing like that...

[lime monolith]

Only the last image has a reference if you are calling the create_label method twice

Self.img2 gets overwritten

If you keep a reference on the pointer to the label instead it should be ok

[tawdry mulch]

Storing in list is the solution to those cases(sometimes), but its better to see the whole code because there are plenty of other mistakes here too

[vale ivy]

I would like to thank my mom

my dad

and my friends in python discord

[lime monolith]

Good job mum and dad

[vale ivy]

@tawdry mulch thank you

@lime monolith thank you

[oak saffron]

Dpg is quite easy and you can ask more questions on the DPG Discord server ( you can find it on the Github page )

[wraith aspen]

Yeah, I joined the DPG discord a few hours ago to have a quick look. You're a mod there: Hi!

It looks like DPG is fairly overkill for anything I need at the moment but if this suite of DnD tools gets really big then it could be used for 3d printing which needs the 3d rendering of models... and it would be good to learn something a bit more complex than tk.

[oak saffron]

You are always welcome on the other side 🙂

[tawdry mulch]

Well the reason why people prefer tkinter is just that it is simple to use and has all(or atleast most) of the tools required to make a modern or a complex UI, because the UI and backend will both be in python, and ofc you can itself guess that python is not a front end language per se so the GUI will also have its own par looks, but this shouldnt be an issue because none of these GUI frameworks are natively made with python

[wraith aspen]

Using a simple built-in and maintained library is a strong selling point.
Realistically, I shouldn't put too much time into anything at the moment. Despite my aversion to a minimal viable product (why do anything unless you're gonna do it well?), it's actually a pretty good model for this industry.
I might give DPG a couple of hours after lunch and see if I can get the most basic things up and just fall back to tk if it involves anything more than modifying a patchwork of code from online tutorials.

[oak saffron]

Modern ? I honstly disagree

[tawdry mulch]

Which part? Modern GUI with tkinter?

[oak saffron]

Yes

[tawdry mulch]

It is not easy, but it is possible

[wraith aspen]

But also: tk for docs and self-learning; Kivy looks very popular here and there are a lot of people; DPG is still young, but that can be a good thing when enthusiasm is high (and it's a better fit for updated version of stuff (prob)).

[tawdry mulch]

@oak saffron Anyway here is something that I came across a few months ago https://paste.pythondiscord.com/bocacewana.rb That is quite like a replica of a GUI made in QT Design Studio using qt quick and qml

[oak saffron]

[tawdry mulch]

Are you a beginner? Then use tkinter to study the basics concepts of a UI first, move onto PyQt to make such modern UI

[regal pulsar]

How (using tkinter) can i limit the amount of characters in my entry box?

[molten zealot]

Well there is no straightforward way of doing so. But here is my take:
You can use set().
Example:

entry = StringVar() # Store the text in the   Entry box.
entry.set(entry.get()[:9]) # here, 9 is the range.

@regal pulsar , I have given the basic code to help you understand how it will work.

After tkinter's replacement with a third-party theme, the program opens very slowly and how to resolve it

It used to take only 3 seconds, but now it takes 10 seconds

the exe file opens really slowly too.

[tawdry mulch]

consequences

[tawdry mulch]

Well for this to work, you would have to call the function, each time something is typed right?

[paper copper]

The program still works, but it opens slowly.

[tawdry mulch]

Yea I know, I have been suffering too, prolly it takes time to load the theme

[paper copper]

how can i make it fastly

The tk and ttk themes are a little ugly.

[tawdry mulch]

Dunno

[paper copper]

Thank you anyway.

I can't find the answers on google.

so strange

[tawdry mulch]

It takes time to load the theme, what can you do about it? I don't think there is anything you can do to speed up the process, but what you can do is, create a splash screen

[paper copper]

You have a point.

I ran it again just now.

It took 20 seconds for the program to start.

too slow

Don't you think so?

Something must be wrong

[tawdry mulch]

wrong? It is how it is

[paper copper]

@tawdry mulch I use " from ttkthemes import * "in my code.There are many themes in this moudle.Maybe I should import only one theme ?

[tawdry mulch]

Try it, I do not think anything is going to change

[wooden stirrup]

splash screens are awesome when i finally found out how to do mine i ended up solving the slow startup so now i barely get to enjoy it lol

[tawdry mulch]

which framework?

[wooden stirrup]

import sys
from PyQt5.QtGui import QPixmap
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QDialog, QPushButton, QVBoxLayout, QApplication, QSplashScreen
from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer


class Dialog(QDialog):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Dialog, self).__init__(parent)

        self.b1 = QPushButton('Display screensaver')
        self.b1.clicked.connect(self.flash_splash)

        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.setLayout(layout)
        layout.addWidget(self.b1)

    def flash_splash(self):
        self.splash = QSplashScreen(QPixmap('/home/user/PycharmProjects/WizardAssistant/src/main/icons/Icon.png'))

        # By default, SplashScreen will be in the center of the screen.
        # You can move it to a specific location if you want:
        # self.splash.move(10,10)

        self.splash.show()

        # Close SplashScreen after 2 seconds (2000 ms)
        QTimer.singleShot(20000, self.splash.close)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    main = Dialog()
    main.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

[tawdry mulch]

Never knew there was a QSplashScreen, great

[wooden stirrup]

If you try out my app can see it in a real application context
https://wizardassistant.com/install/

but yeah i didn't know about it as first either but its super cool

[tawdry mulch]

I wouldn't use timers with real applications(but I just did :P), I would start the splash screen on a separate thread, and then check if the main window has ever been open, if it has, then close the splash screen. Just a concept, never tried in a real time application

[wooden stirrup]

That's honestly just a test snippet

I don't use that example in production code :)

I just save handy examples that are self contained for times where I want to share

[swift halo]

I think Thonny uses tkinter, check it out: https://thonny.org/
Doesn't look bad to me

[verbal storm]

sorry

[glass ferry]

tkinter vs pyqt5 which is better

Pyqt5 has more features?

Ui designer is a plus

[molten zealot]

Tkinter is really beginner friendly and a lot can be done easily. It is great to start out but does not have too many advanced features, don't worry though, it has just enough features to get your job done.
Tkinter is a great starter choice in my opinion. I have started out with Tkinter.
If you choose Tkinter, I have multiple resources for you too, which includes YouTube videos and even Book PDFs.
But PyQton the other hand is much more advanced, has many additional features which might not be needed every time but it is great to have them.
And as you have mentioned, QT Designer is a really big plus point of Qt. It makes designing much more easier and efficient.

[glass ferry]

it depends is the short answer

[oak saffron]

It looks ok, but i have instant a windows 2k vibe. Probably is it my mind ^^ and don’t get me wrong i mad a few projects in Tkinter ^^ but i see always that 2k vibe in it ^^ somewhere somehow… 😂

[swift halo]

well, electron apps give me windows 2k vibes because of how slow they get sometimes 🙂

I ran VSCode on a decent (for 2012) laptop, wasn't the smoothest

[molten zealot]

Okay...

[oak saffron]

absolutely true ! but i think that is something i like about DPG. it runs on the GPU. so it is almost everytime smooth as f 😄

[tawdry mulch]

While the most official docs(PDFs) are a great help, most YouTube videos on tkinter sucks...

[wooden stirrup]

this man the worst part is every electron app has it's own chromium which is both good and bad cause if it installed like a chromium library independently if chrome was not installed it would make them lighter weight and also ensure that the browser component stayed up to date and all the other electron apps could use the same one. I'm sure they will solve it in the future. Webview was really nice for that reason in past. But having like 300MB+ plus just to run a local website for an app is pretty intense. Even with PyQT5 and QtWebengine bundled my binaries are small as hell. Packaging for Mac duplicates some stuff otherwise it would be tiny

[distant swift]

I got error while using thread in kivy. Please help me to fix it

tt.start()```
actually when I call this the entire gui get stucked

[tawdry mulch]

Maybe its not supposed to be multi threaded

[lofty pond]

threading.Thread target takes a function/lambda, and from your code, you are running the function, so you would do:

tt = threading.Thread(target=lambda: self.search(query))
tt.start()

[trim crown]

If you dont want to use lambdas I suggest using partialinstead

search_with_query = partial(self.search, query)
Thread(target=search_with_query)

[mossy karma]

Thread has an args parameter already. so Thread(target=self.search, args=(query,))

[wraith aspen]

That's a bit surprising. Thought tkinter was pretty static and defacto.

Youtube videos are a bit of a weird one for programming to me. There's (virtually) no vetting process for anyone can make them and the languages get updated so fast a video doesn't age well. Videos for established programs are often a safe bet (Vim... some databases), and videos about abstract concepts or fundamentals (Corey Schafer's Python videos) can be pretty good. So, that's a pity there aren't decent videos on tkinter.

[tawdry mulch]

It is just that the main reason tkinter is recommended to beginners is that it has the basic concept of event loop that is used in higher level GUI, so understanding with tkinter is easier than on any other higher level framework, then most videos just show how to code or write code not explaining the concept or the reason behind it. Not to mention alot of people even show bad coding practices, bla bla

[wraith aspen]

Ah, yeah, I see that. At tech, we did event loops for a CLI first, actually it was more like a TUI (but nothing like the CodeJam stuff), and tk was left for the last few weeks with flask and ... something else, just to show where the language could go.
That's one of my dislikes for the minimal viable product model, as long as it works, bad coding practices are less of an issue. I've def been guilty of them. But the world is really losing patience as a whole.

[tawdry mulch]

Lol yea, but bad practices are really harmful on long run, I have seen some YouTube video do it, and dozens of people just blindly follow it, and later on some issue arises because of it and they ask it on stackoverflow and they point to the video. I myself was following great practices that lead to SQL injections...

[wraith aspen]

Yikes. I'm working on something with postgres at the moment and I am not confident. But since my stuff is very local, there's not a lot of risk; I just find my bad practices embarrassing. I should put them out there and learn from feedback though.

[tawdry mulch]

Learning through feedback - one of the best ways to learn and correct your own mistakes

Okay I should stop being conclusive with just < 20 years of experience in life 😛

[wraith aspen]

It's a fine line between confidence, arrogance and stubbornness. But any one of those three is going to get something done (as long as there's no dissent).

[radiant dirge]

what's the best way to pass additional information to a Signal in Qt? For example, when I dynamically create a menu:

        for player in team.players:
            act = QAction(player.position, mnu)
            mnu.addAction(act)

I want to pass the 'player' object.
I could create a subclass of QAction with a custom Signal but was wondering if there's an easier solution with less code?

[mossy karma]

can you elaborate on what you mean by want to pass the 'player' object?

pass it into what exactly?

into the slot that'll get called when the action is selected?

[radiant dirge]

yes

act.triggered.connect(self.playerClicked)

so in self.playerClicked I know what player is clicked on

[mossy karma]

a lambda should suffice

[radiant dirge]

ah so each instance gets their own slot

[mossy karma]

lambda: self.playerClicked(player)

each instance of what?

you can reuse a method as a slot as many times as you want

[radiant dirge]

so how do I use the lambda in the slot?

[mossy karma]

just pass it as the argument to connect

also addAction can take a slot as a second argument

to save some time

[radiant dirge]

act.triggered.connect(lambda: self.playerClicked(player))

like this, seems to work fine. thx!

[mossy karma]

yep

no worries

[radiant dirge]

seems the lambda function doesn't work. It always returns the same object:

    act.triggered.connect(lambda: self.playerClicked(player))


    def playerClicked(self, player: Player):
        print(player)

<Player object at 0x00000130B628F280>
<Player object at 0x00000130B628F280>

although I clicked on different items

that's the reference to the last object in the list, no matter on what item I click

ah a bit of googling gave me the solution:

act.triggered.connect(lambda state, x=player: self.playerClicked(x))

The x=player bit is important in this lambda

pyqt is the best to use in my opinion as you’ve got qt creator

They told me that Kivy GUI is really good too.

[obtuse thistle]

kivy is probably friendlier than qt, but i haven't actually used qt

[nova tangle]

Ok, I guess I am going to try Kivy

[tawdry mulch]

What do you mean by best

easy? beautiful? perfomance?

[nova tangle]

I mean...

The best with I can start

[tawdry mulch]

tkinter it is

[nova tangle]

Oh

I'm confused right now XD

[tawdry mulch]

You said best to start with? Then it is tkinter. Beginner friendly

[nova tangle]

Ok, thank you

[tawdry mulch]

PyQt and Kivy both have steeper learning curve

[prime creek]

Personally, I switched from PyQt to PySide since it's officially supported by Qt

[tawdry mulch]

@nova tangle Check this

[prime creek]

Is there a reason why y'all choose to use PyQt over PySide?

Just curious

[tawdry mulch]

I mean basically its the same thing itself...

[prime creek]

Fair enough

I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something

You have no clue how many hours I've poured into researching different bindings/libraries

[nova tangle]

Did

[tawdry mulch]

lol I havent got into PyQt, just doing projects, copying code bla bla 😛

[tawdry mulch]

perfect!

[prime creek]

I'm creating embedded software for my job so I'm always looking for the most 'proper' route

In an ideal world I would be using C++ but I was hired with the constraint of it being written in Python and now here we are

How old are you

[prime creek]

21

[tawdry mulch]

wow, weird constraints, because python is not a GUI language

[nova tangle]

I'm 15

Sus

[prime creek]

It's an internship really but I'm technically supposed to be graduated already and they are just waiting to hire me once I do

[tawdry mulch]

good luck!

[prime creek]

Thanks! Also, all of the dudes that work there are actual boomers and are mainly just electrical engineers so I was told to use Python since it's readable

I don't regret using Python since it's an amazingly dynamic language

[tawdry mulch]

oh that makes sense now, one for the boomers

[prime creek]

I'm one of 3 maybe 4 people in the entire company that can code

And I'm the only one working on this massive project 😭

[nova tangle]

In the future, when I will be in the coding mood, I'm going to learn other languages like C# and JavaScript.

[prime creek]

Building control/automation software for a temperature-vacuum chamber

[tawdry mulch]

What's the API

[nova tangle]

Wow

[digital rose]

it just depends on whatever you want to do with coding

[prime creek]

Wdym, other than Qt?

[tawdry mulch]

How do you communicate between the chamber and the UI

[prime creek]

Ah, I'm building for a raspberry pi that communicates to two hardware controllers over GPIO (one is controlled over modbus RS-232 protocol and the other over ascii serial commands)

[tawdry mulch]

You will know when you grow up, but anywya don't learn all the languages, pick a field and learn the languages needed for that field only🤷

[prime creek]

It all fits in a control box with relays and such cause there are a ton of peripherals to control

[tawdry mulch]

Ah nice, I've seen people use tkinter with raspberry pi too

But hey I have 0 knowledge, not even into a university yet🤦 so not gonna judge the difficulty

[prime creek]

I avoided rudimentary frameworks cause that's a ton of boilerplate code to write myself

Qt gives me all of the basic tools and things like a state-chart XML module which lets me model the controllers externally

[prime creek]

My university knowledge was essential for understanding theory and design patterns which allowed me to figure out the proper path to choose when I was confronted with a problem, but learning this stuff is definitely a struggle that you really just have to work through on your own

It's like reading several textbooks and then figuring out how to actually build something

LOTS of documentation skimming and at times I even had to go to the C++ source code to figure out what the hell was going on internally since documentation can sometimes fail you

When I started here in the winter of 2019, I literally spent a month staring at a screen trying to figure out:

1. How to code Python, lol
2. How to build a GUI and which framework to use

I ended up having literally a blank screen with a few widgets displayed by the end of it and those idiots still hired me back

Anyways, there's my wall of text and hopefully some useful information for some of you

[tawdry mulch]

Yup, I'll keep this in mind while choosing a path 👍

[paper copper]

@tawdry mulch The slow opening of the program may be due to a problem with the module.

After I changed another theme module, the opening speed became faster.

how do i add a mp3 music running on a python prgram?

[tawdry mulch]

Just like how you would play an mp3 using python

[prime creek]

Got some tautologies going on in here

[tawdry mulch]

Lol

[tawdry mulch]

You would use pygame for some control over the audio, like play or pause it, else you can use playsound. Rereading your question, you asked for python and I magically read tkinter out of somewhere, hence my tautolically submissive message. Applogies 😄

[twin rapids]

but what do i go if the program is a terminal game?

[prime creek]

Is it even possible to play sounds from a terminal program?

AFAIK you can only trigger ANSI bell sounds if the shell even supports it

[twin rapids]

ive heard about subprocess

[prime creek]

I honestly don't know I'm not familiar with the packages you're using

[twin rapids]

i only use os and time and thats it

ive tried mpg123 but it shows terminal text

i dont want that

is it possible to make a tkinter terminal?

[prime creek]

Its a GUI framework so you most certainly can

[twin rapids]

oh

ok

ima see how

[prime creek]

Wait though

[twin rapids]

yea?

[prime creek]

You should be able to play sounds with pygame, why aren't you able to?

[twin rapids]

it shows error

[prime creek]

You don't need to make your own terminal program also, so ignore what I said before cause I was being stupid

If it showed an error, did you try searching for an answer on google?

But sure you can use Kivy ig, was there a version of PyQt that does this too?

[distant swift]

Someone please help me to fix this:

When I tried to convert my kivy to apk in google colab (buildozer), first I uploaded my files including a python file, a kv file and two ttf font files.

fill both and expand true

though it doesnt stretch right?

[soft bone]

It should

Idk about images tho but I guess it should

that's true. Android studio is hard but at least it works. In it first xml will get us mad after java will. For me its too hard

youtube video's audio source using ytdl

i mean i can open the streamable link on chrome

[tawdry mulch]

I am not sure if you can stream like that....Is this a music player? @shell blade

[shell blade]

no its just a link that leads to mp3 file which you can stream using chrome

i just wanned to knwo if there's a way i mean people said i can use pyaudio but i couldnt find any valid souce about that

[tawdry mulch]

Does the user have the option to play from any other link?

[shell blade]

nope i mean its just like discord py..but instead of streaming it on a voice channel i wanned to run that on local machine

I could use some guidance

I'm working on a graphics library, and I'm kinda lost in the weeds

I spent the last few weeks working on what I'm starting to think is a lemon

So its back to the drawing board, and I could use, in the very least, someone to discuss the project with

[tawdry mulch]

graphics project?

[shell blade]

just say your issues people will come to help

[eager viper]

Here's hoping

I'm working on an actual graphics library

It's supposed to enable standalone Python applications via webgraphics

Pure-python control over the DOM

In short; wxPython is used to create OS-native windows, and a framework called cefPython (an HTML renderer) is embedded inside each window. The HTML being launched in a window is parsed using beautifulsoup and a 'proxy dom' is generated. Using properties, changes to the dom are transmitted to Javascript via the their shared runtime (cefpython) and presto chango, pure-python webgraphics

And the theory is sound. I've built a working prototype in the past for personal use, but now I'm trying to refine it into something other's can use

And I just spent about a month trying to split each window off into its own process to increase performance. Big mistake.

So I'm going back to the drawing board, and I'm lowering the bar significantly. I'd like to start by limiting the number of windows to one. However, I do want a multithreaded approach so that user-defined callbacks listening for events from the renderer can execute without slowing down rendering

😐 Now that I say it out loud though — I'm betting both these libraries already have measures in place to keep rendering going smoothly

https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython/blob/master/examples/wxpython.py

This is an example of an ultra-basic version of what I'm after.

I suppose I'll start with just one window and one thread, and focus on just getting the proxy DOM and basic widget controls up and running. I'll worry about the bells and whistles later, I guess...? Anyone have any thoughts?

Anyone have, like, any thoughts at all on the matter?

Here's two possible options.

I've done my best to comment them but feel free to ask any questions. Was just hoping for some input

Have you checked how to insert images into treeview?

[pastel blaze]

I tried looking it up and saw countless threads on stack overflow but none worked for my case

I was thinking to put it outside the tree but it looks bad and unaligned. I can align it with the text but there'd be cases where there's more rows

I got it to look like I want but I don't understand the code at all

Looks like they used OOP and I have no experience in it. Can I convert it back without using classes?

import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk

class App(ttk.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent=None, *args, **kwargs):
        ttk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        self.parent = parent

        # Create Treeview 
        self.tree = ttk.Treeview(self, column=('A','B'), selectmode='none', height=7)
        self.tree.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')

        # Setup column heading
        self.tree.heading('#0', text='Icon', anchor='center')
        self.tree.heading('#1', text='Name', anchor='center')
        self.tree.heading('#2', text='Year', anchor='center')
        # #0, #01, #02 denotes the 0, 1st, 2nd columns

        # Setup column
        self.tree.column('A', anchor='center', width=100)
        self.tree.column('B', anchor='center', width=100)
        self.tree.column('#0', anchor='center', width=100)
        # Insert image to #0 
        self._img = tk.PhotoImage(file="the-matrix-movie-poster-xs.png") #change to your file path
        self.tree.insert('', 'end', image=self._img,
                         value=("The Matrix", "1999"))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.geometry('450x180+300+300')

    app = App(root)
    app.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')

    root.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
    root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

    root.mainloop()

looks like the fix was to remove the option of showing headings

Then y don't you implement that in your main program?

Hii everyone, need help in finalizing UI... Can you please vote. If any suggestions please could you let me know I will surely fix it

[warped crow]

feel like the confirm button should be a bit more green?

the black gives it a blocky look

[idle nest]

Hmm, let me fix it and share the screen shot

How about this approch? I changed the background from gray to White and changed buttons to White + Black

[pastel blaze]

That's what I did lol. I had the error of including that option is all

[tawdry mulch]

Great

Hi, i'm currently trying to code a game in python, but I have a little problem with my graphic interface : I'm trying to create a sprite using a Canvas and to apply an Image on it, but the Canvas background stay white. And because I have a background on my GUI, it's a problem. Does anybody know how to make a Canvas transparent?

Thank you!

[tawdry mulch]

Transparent like?

[native scarab]

yes

[tawdry mulch]

What does transparent mean? What do you want to see through it

[native scarab]

my GUI background

[tawdry mulch]

Show a screenshot please

[native scarab]

this is just an example, but it should aloud you to understand...

[atomic knoll]

easiest fix is set opacity to 0

or 10

[native scarab]

what is the Tkinter argument name?

cause opacity=0 arg return me an error...

[atomic knoll]

gonna have to check the manual on that im not sure

it might also be asking for a % value

in wxpython getupdate button downloads a 100mb file. but the ui freeze till the download is complete.

   def getupdate(self,e):
       self.update_btn.Disable()
       self.update_btn.SetLabel("Updating")
       threading.Thread(target=run_update).start()
       wx.Exit()

its very annoying

I am trying to use a text widget and store each an every word there and try and find it in every .txt file I have if the word was in file Green.txt the words need to change color

[tawdry mulch]

Cool

[uncut pawn]

no sorry

my question is how can I do that

lol

[pastel blaze]

any idea how I can align the picture in the center? U can see it too far to the right

[tawdry mulch]

I think, picture does not come in a column, what you have done is hacky way around the fact that you made use of the first column and expanded its width. Now what you can do is expand its width even more

[tawdry mulch]

You should have a foundation, I can help you with the errors on the way

[pastel blaze]

That's true I increased the width and it aligned well but It doesn't fit tight like I want it to. Do you reckon if I remove the width option that it'd fit? I guess only one way to find out

here's how it looks when I remove the width option

[tawdry mulch]

Looks fine to me...but not the efficient way I guess

guys my wxpython program ui freezes when downloading 100mb file.

[ionic moat]

You're probably hanging the event loop when downloading the file
