[edgy rivet]

is it absolutely necessary to uses classes to make pyqt5 GUI??

Can I somehow do it without classes??

[plush stream]

Yes

But your code will be very messy and very hard to maintain

And because of that it'll be more prone to bugs.

What makes you avoid classes anyway? They're very useful in python.

[pastel cobalt]

Hey, I'm developing a shell and I'm using prompt-toolkit for creating the final prompt. There is a class called HTML that converts a html-like string into usable prompt but it doesn't accept transparent as a valid color, if i dont specify any foreground, output looks like this.

Does anyone know, how to make it transparent ?

I'm trying to paste an image whenever "incorrect_count" equals a specific number. It pastes the first image, but it doesn't add any more images.

Would anyone be willing to help please.

[sinful pendant]

Any explanation why its displaying --01 instead -01 , as in termial also it display the count as -01

Any explanation why its displaying --01 instead -01 , as in termial also it display the count as -01

[wind plinth]

show the code

[sinful pendant]

Aah its just simple

This one handles the display

to_strdigits is the function which takes int i out and converts it to string of given number, here 3

This function works fine as can be seen in terminal

[wind plinth]

it shouldnt happen like you are saying

maybe you are overwriting a variable at some point, idk

[sinful pendant]

Cant say, might be some glitch

Sometimes things are correct but dont work , then after some here and there it tarts to work as i thought

I am making minesweeper (try 2 with proper classes and game modules) so i am arrived at the point where i provide play again feature so which thing is better overwrite the classes or update information contained in them
.
Start game fn

[lime monolith]

Making a new instance of a class is an easy way to reset it back to it initial values.

[sinful pendant]

While working with classes i founf that its not easier sometimes

Weired results happen sometimes

[lime monolith]

Yes everything depends on the context its used in.
If the class was a GUI you might not want it creating a new GUI, but in another use case you do, so it all depends.

Imma try to manipulate somechanges to see it new instance with same variable works

How do you change a canvas size in tkinter once it's already set up? the config function is not working for me (boo https://stackoverflow.com/a/9589935/10241514)

I'm trying to convert an entire turtle graphics canvas including parts off scrollbars to a png with ghostscript ```py
import turtle, tkinter, subprocess
turtle.setup(800, 600)
turtle.screensize(3000, 1000)
for _ in range(4):
turtle.fd(100)
turtle.right(90)
canvas = turtle.getcanvas()
_canvas: tkinter.Canvas = canvas._canvas
_canvas.config(width=3000, height=1000)
_canvas.update() # seems to do nothing
print(_canvas.winfo_width(), _canvas.winfo_height()) # want 3000 1000, getting 779 579
_canvas.postscript(file='out.eps')

eps to png with ghostscript

subprocess.run('gswin64c -q -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dEPSCrop -r96 -sDEVICE=pngalpha -sOutputFile=out.png out.eps')```

The png conversion works fine but it's always 800x600 (or nearly due to border), not 3000x1000 like I want - _canvas.config(width=3000, height=1000) does nothing to the canvas

Wait I think I got it py canvas.postscript(file='out.eps', width=3000, height=1000, x=-1500, y=-500)
postscript itself has args

though it's 2999x1000

In Tkinter I created a function that display a label & a photo , I linked this function with a button , when I execute the code the label is displayed but the photo is empty .
Any solution pleas ?```python
def prin():

        pic = tkinter.PhotoImage(file =r"C:\Users\pc\PycharmProjects\QuitSmoking\Marlboro.png")
        l = Label(window,image=pic)
        l.place(x=0, y=90)

        label = Label(window,text=f"The price of a {pack1.name} pack is {pack1.price}DH\n it contains {pack1.nicotine} mg nicotines",bg='#efcb68',fg='#535F6B'
                      ,borderwidth=2, relief="solid")
        label.place(x=385,y=94)
        label.configure(font=("Staatliches", 10, "bold") )

[lime monolith]

You need to keep a reference to the image add

l.pic = pic

After the label is created that is showing the image

[digital rose]

ignore the fact that i dont have a function called clicked.

[open python]

Tysm 👍🏽

[digital rose]

why is my picture not coming up as a background it is just empty no error message?

[mighty rock]

Try text.schoolproj_image = img or root.schoolproj_image = img

It has to have its own reference to the image

[digital rose]

Where should I put that?

Hey, what's the best (easiest) way to make same looking gui in Python? Is it smth like tkinter? I never really touched ui on "beauty level" if you know what I am talking about

[azure talon]

any tkinter people around?
(note I'm having the same trouble with PyQt)
I'm trying to pop up a short 10sec victory video when a task is complete. a "Good job this 'THING' is done!"
But I can't seem to get the window to close then the player is done playing the video. Everything I've tried thus far closes it half way through playing or doesn't at all. Is there a better way then just putting a 10sec timer on it in case down the line I make them longer? (using tkvideo on the tk version I made)

[ocean flicker]

how do i do that?

[sinful pendant]

U can use after function to destroy the window after 10sec

In tkinter

[azure talon]

@sinful pendant
No real different then putting a timer on, as when I put longer stuff, I'll have to go back into the code and change it. Really trying for it to recognize it's done it's action.

Also other stuff will still be happening. Doesn't after work like a wait?

[cobalt idol]

How can i make a GUI for my project using python

[sinful pendant]

Use threading so that program dont freezes

I am also on way of getting malfunction in game app

So tried threading and some text editor thingy

😄

[sinful pendant]

Well if this method working well for u then u uave to into ur code to change it

[sinful pendant]

U can use the gui libraries

See this channeltopic there are some of u wanna start woth

[azure talon]

I use threading and a timer. Was just hoping for a way to see if something could recognize when it's done playing.

[sinful pendant]

Yess, just a more function(s)

Like in , game monesweeper , as sson as player clicks a mine, after showing all mines, i run endgame function

[azure talon]

Is there a good way to flash a animation on the screen for 3-5 sec then toss it? if so then I could just split the stuff up and figure something else out for longer stuff..

[sinful pendant]

What do u mean by toss it@azure talon

[azure talon]

pop-up then go away

my main issue is getting that requires time to complete visually to finish when completed.
@sinful pendant

[sinful pendant]

root.after(5000, root.quit)

?

Try this on ur window which shows flashing animation

[azure talon]

@sinful pendant
That's no different then what I'm already doing as it requires a programed knowledge of how long it's going to be every time.

[sinful pendant]

Are u displaying different animations on different tasks being done?

[azure talon]

as things are completed. yes

[sinful pendant]

So what ucan do is prepare a dictionary

Woth the times, or there might be some method that tells us how long is the video

[azure talon]

still puts me back to changing the code every time I put in a new video or animation in the future instead of having a function that I can drop a video into a location and it can be used.

[sinful pendant]

Aah ,i hope ur code is adjustable woth changes

Like, u can make function which pops up window and run,and by giving, arguments for some control

[azure talon]

atm I have a setting that I can change the animation / video that plays. It looks at the files in a folder and I can select from them and it'll play when it needs to. My issue is that it just stays on the last frame on the screen.

[sinful pendant]

😅

, seems like i misunderstud ur problem

[azure talon]

seems like a strange thing I'm sure, but I am surprised that there's not built in function to end a video when done, I can loop them all day though.

another issue is depending on the device it's on, it take a little longer to load / run the video. When that happens the time / after function time amount will cut it short.

[rocky dragon]

how would I block a QTableWidget's itemChanged signal in PySide6? I've tried blockSignals/QSignalBlocker on the table and its parents but the signals still get emitted. I have an auto column resize connected to it but during initialization the constant resizing hits the cpu for a while

[median ridge]

I'm guessing you may not have done gui design before so warning that it won't be easy no matter what framework but qt has qt designer which might make it easier for you

also qt creator

[round ginkgo]

for x in range(2):
    for y in range(2):
        if x == y == 1:
            start_screen.grid(row=1, column=1)
            continue
        frame = Frames(login_window)
        frame.grid(row=y, column=x)
    if x == 1:
        continue
    login_window.grid_columnconfigure(x, weight=1)
    login_window.grid_rowconfigure(x, weight=1)

it places start screen on bottom right

why

[storm flare]

my tkinter scrollbar is small, how do i make longer?

[cobalt idol]

I haven't make any GUI before can anyone tell me how to start or how can i learn to make one

I need it for my project

[eager beacon]

If you've connected the signal to a receiver you can temporarily disconnect the signal using QMetaObject.Connection.

This is assuming that QMetaConnection has made its way into PySide6

[storm flare]

Depends what library you want to use

[cobalt idol]

I dont have any idea about the GUI libraries the thing is my project is wifi based where i will connect raspberry pico with esp8266 wifi module to receive the data i need

[young yoke]

you need to show the code as well

[glacial gust]

Did you call destroy() on your Tk root? As it says, that destroys the entire Tk application, so no more methods will work anymore.

[grand forge]

Ok wait

It's not really a prog

[young yoke]

you need to write all the code before starting the mainloop

[grand forge]

Oh

So main loop should be in last line?

[oblique steeple]

Hello guys! Not exactly sure if this is the right channel for this question but I'll give it a shot.
I would like to program a, let's say, excel sheet with GUI. I describe it like that, because it really is nothing more than a tool to create a database of a lot of electronic devices and their consumption.

Right now, I just type in the name of the device and in the same row, all the different information connected to it, like the amount of kW it needs, the manufacturer, location etc. The goal is to sum up all the energy consumption of all devices.

The problem is, that every device has a unique identification key. This key can vary from project to project. For example it can look like this: 1-01-FRI-0001-PUM-0001. Building 1 - 1.floor - cooling machine - nr. 1 - pump - nr.1.
I would like to make a tool with GUI where I can set the identification key syntax (amount of numbers, alphabetical symbols etc.) and then be able to add different devices which then are sorted after the kind of device e.g Cooling, Heating, air conditioning etc. In the end I imagine there will be a database/table for every kind of devices (cooling, heating, etc.) but with one database where everything is in it, sorted after categories with a filter function

Is python even good for this? Would another program language be better for this kind of job?

[royal dove]

Most successful GUI products use Python as it's administrative program and Javascript(Electron.js) as its GUI interface

and no there is no library in python that could create a GUI that can be unleashed as a modern product

3 packages if you learn you can be best python developer (Javascript/CSS/HTML) for Graphic User Interface, Python for administration of application such as a backend, Java to use as extension in Jpython for functions that needs faster processing. if you can master these mentioned languages you can make any application you want

[royal dove]

Vscode and Discord and many other amazing applications were made by Electron.js, Odoo famous ERP desktop application was made by GUI Electron.js and Administrated by python as it's backend.

        c = Canvas(master, bg="white")

        vbar = Scrollbar(master, orient=VERTICAL, command=c.yview)
        vbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
        c.pack(anchor=NW)
        c.config(yscrollcommand=vbar.set)

        server_list = scan_servers("95.156.227.18", 100, 128)

        for server in server_list:
            create_server_entry(c, server)


root = Tk()
root.title("Server List")

@royal dove Well, it fixes the unstructured code, which is the result of me testing around. Because any solution, I found, results in the scrollbar appearing, but not doing its job. The bar just fills the whole box and is not movable. Thereby doing nothing.

How can i get access to the mainclass attributes?

In the child class?

Do i have to do something like,
ClassVariable = mainclass()
?

And then ClassVariable.attribute.method()

[broken crown]

You already have them.

the child class inherits them.

Just create an instance of the child class, and it gets all the properties of the parent class too.

hi i need help in tkinter

so im trying to make this code work but it wont work, idk whats the matter :

def logister():
    def submit():
    username.delete(0, END)
    password.delete(0, END)
    identity.delete(0, END)
    
    logreg = Tk()
    logreg.title('login/register')
    username = Entry(logreg, width=30).grid(row=0, column=1, padx=20)
    password = Entry(logreg, width=30).grid(row=1, column=1, padx=20)
    identity = Entry(logreg, width=30).grid(row=2, column=1, padx=20)
    Label(logreg, text='Username').grid(row=0, column=0)
    Label(logreg, text='Password').grid(row=1, column=0)
    Label(logreg, text='ID (custom 5 digit number)').grid(row=2, column=0)
    submitter = Button(logreg, text='submit your account', command=submit).grid(row=3, column=0, columnspan=2, pady=10, padx=10, ipadx=100)

idk what to do it wont work and im trying to get it work with SQL

[clear crown]

how did you change the background

it wont even clear the entry boxes

help?

[lime monolith]

The variables don't have a reference to the Entry's, they have a reference to the return from the Entry's grid method, create the Entry's and call grid on a separate line.

[clear crown]

its already fixed sorry lol

and thanks too btw

Hi

I am using PyQt6

and can't find a way to

put a icon at the taskbar for my app

pls helpp

here is a screen shot :

[proven basin]

Hey @fathom cosmos!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.pdf). 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.

[dense rock]

and I am also using cx_freeze to compile as a executable

[wooden saffron]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[sinful pendant]

Do someone knows that what can be the reason that tkinter not able to display image on button but button size is set as per the image dimensions, but image do t show up its blank, and when we click on button the button doesnt responds

Self.images is a dict which contains file path value

A dict having theme as key and a small dict a s values in which keys are the numbers and values are respective paths

Even that commented img line also gives same result when used

[lime monolith]

The image has probably been garbage collected as there is no reference to it.
keep a reference to it on the button.
add

btn.img = img

[sinful pendant]

Everytime is use same img 2nd time it went i to garbage, even if i copy paste imag and move it so ewhere else

[sinful pendant]

Aah it wont be a problem if i change the image later

Cuz its soduko and you know numbers change🤔

[lime monolith]

if you change the image with config then also change the reference on the button to the new image

[sinful pendant]

Ohk

[digital rose]

The "client size of a window" means the dimensions of the actual window area, right? Not the window plus border. (in general terms)

[mighty rock]

It's the area without the frame with the close button and everything, where you put new widgets usually

Imagine a command prompt window, the entire black rectangle in it is the client area

[eager beacon]

If you're familiar with Qt, the centralWidget is the same thing that winforms/.net refers to as client size

[digital rose]

Yeah, I'm coming from windows forms.

[digital rose]

Hi, Can you explain me why the min and the max doesn't work?

[woeful jasper]

there are no numbers in your list, only strings

you'd have to convert them to integers first to get what you want

[digital rose]

hey yall, I want to make a text-based python game that I can ship as an executable, so I want to use a GUI. It's going to be an RPG game so I want to have a list of message "history", so as lore/story is shown on the screen the player can scroll back up and read the past messages (past 100 or so). Is there a PyQt5 object that lets me display something like this (maybe an object that can store a list of things and display them, each thing in the list being a string with a message)?

[storm flare]

im not sure how to do it with pyqt5, but i know you can do something like that with tkinter, sorry

[flat bough]

how would I do it with tkinter?

[storm flare]

Not sure if you like this idea, but you can use a Listbox widget perhaps

Each item inside the Listbox can contain your message

But you are not using tkinter, and you are using pyqt5, so i cannot help you sorry

[eager beacon]

There is QListView and QListWidget iin Qt

[storm flare]

Is pyqt5 difficult to use?

[flat bough]

pyqt looks nicer than the others I've seen that's why i would prewfer to use it

[storm flare]

Hmm, I prefer tkinter's look

[eager beacon]

It has a learning curve but it's not that hard to learn, assuming you're familiar wiith OOP already

[bleak silo]

i have set the qpushbutton size 30x30 and qlineedit size 220x30 but they dont have same height (pls mention me)

[rocky dragon]

How would that look? Disconnect the signal, do the work and then reconnect it to the same slot?

[signal steppe]

Hi, I'm using QT Designer and I want to know how can I call a new window , without need to import the second .py file in my main code.
I'm having trouble joining the two classes into one file and getting it to work, could someone give me a hand?

The main code:

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):

##code

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_())

And the second windows:

class Ui_ErrorWindow(object):
    def setupUi(self, ErrorWindow):
 
##code

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ErrorWindow = QtWidgets.QDialog()
    ui = Ui_ErrorWindow()
    ui.setupUi(ErrorWindow)
    ErrorWindow.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

[eager beacon]

Roughly like this:

sig = self.itemChanged.connect(self.test) # assign the connection to some variable
self.sig_val = QMetaObject.Connection(sig) # save it to the instance in a variable or list

self.disconnect(self.sig_val) # Whenever you want to disconnect the signal

If this is something that happens every time you resize the table you may want to put it in a function

then after the function has finished doiing whatever it does reconnect the signal

then after the function has finished doiing whatever it does reconnect the signal

[eager beacon]

You're going to have to import it into the main window or another widget thats imported into the main window.

and you shouldn't make a habit out of writing your code in the .py files generated by pyuic

you should create a different file and import the mainWindow from pyuic in there

let me find an example

#user-interfaces message

[rocky dragon]

How does the reconnection happen?
I tried this which disconnects it, but it doesn't handle the signal when I change items after that

class MainWindow(MainWindowGUI):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        conn = self.table.itemChanged.connect(partial_no_external(self.table.resize_column_to_contents, 0))
        self.sig_v = QtCore.QMetaObject.Connection(conn)
        self.mass_insert([["1", 2., 3., 4]] * 5000)

    def mass_insert(self, data: list[list[t.Any]]):
        self.disconnect(self.sig_v)
        for row in data:
            self.insert_row(row)
        self.table.resize_column_to_contents(0)
        self.table.resize_rows_to_contents()

[eager beacon]

You need to reconnect it manually after you finish with column resize function. I'm not sure if you can reuse self.sig_v for that or not

[rocky dragon]

ah right I misread that

[eager beacon]

It's more work, but you might want to look at using a QTableView instead of a widget if you're going to have 5k rows

its far more responsive

[rocky dragon]

The realistic maximum is around 300-500 but the startup delay from the signal being connected is very noticeable even with that, which I'm trying to minimize as it's slow enough already with it loading python and Qt

Is there a reason for the QMetaObject.Connection? The connect call seems to return an instance of that already

[eager beacon]

hmm, then you might be able to get away without that if the disconnect works... It might just be required for custom signals

[signal steppe]

@eager beacon like subclass?

[eager beacon]

Yeah, you need to inherit QMainWindow and the UI class

[signal steppe]

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_())

what should I change here do use two classes?

i'm trying to pass the second class in my main code, but Idk what I need to do here

[rocky dragon]

any idea why the QSignalBlocker didn't work? When I tried looking at the sender through self.sender() it was some random QTableWidgetItem

[eager beacon]

something like

from UI_FILE import Ui_MainWindow
from PyQt5.QtWidgets mport MainWindow
class MainWindow(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
        self.setupUi(self)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    MainWindow = MainWindow()
    MainWindow.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

[signal steppe]

I dont want to use a secound file to import in my main code

[eager beacon]

I'm not sure to be honest, I would think it should since the QTableWidgetItems are chldren of the Table

[signal steppe]

I want to call a second class in my main class in the same file

[eager beacon]

Then import your second window into the mainwindow file and add the second window as an instance varable and call ErrorWindow.exec() when you want to show it i guess

I have to go, but you really should use a 3rd file to import the 2 UI files into.. It would make your code a lot easier to work with in the long run

self.closebutton.clicked.connect(lambda: self.function(MainWindow)) - calling a function and giving the mainwindow argument (the mainwindow has the close function)
and then in the function you just call MainWindow.close

I think UI is the most satisfying thing about programming, because the tiniest details have the power to make your user's day, or to ruin it.

But GUI technologies make me sad.

[mighty rock]

I've heard a lot of people saying tkinter looks like Windows XP's style

[woeful jasper]

there are some ttk style themes that look similar to windows xp

[rocky dragon]

Any idea what pyside6 is doing here? After inheriting QObject, staticmethods disappear from the object

class Test(QtCore.QObject):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.func()
    @staticmethod
    def func(): ...

leads to AttributeError: 'Test' object has no attribute 'func'

[lost scroll]

Does anyone know how to make python return a value from the tkinter insert widget ?

Like, I can do print(my_entry.get())

Nevermind I fixed it, it works if I put it inside of a function

[eager beacon]

What version are you using?

The example you posted seems to work just fine in 6.1.3

[rocky dragon]

6.2.0

[eager beacon]

oh, let me update and try again

well, it works for me

[rocky dragon]

hmm, does it work if you try the snake_case and true_property features? I tried it with it disabled in the module but maybe something bled through from others

[eager beacon]

Oh, probably not.. true_property screws some stuff iirc

actually it appears to be snake_case that causes this to happen

[rocky dragon]

strange, with how it's worded I assumed it should only affect the state in the current module

[eager beacon]

I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but I remember that it did have some issues when 6.0 was released.

Apparently there are still some problems with it.

I don't know of any sort of workaround that would allow a static method when importing snake_case/true_property 😦

I really wish they wouldn't have even added the option. After 5+ years of using PyQt/Pyside it just looks wrong to see Qt methods in snake_case

[rocky dragon]

I'm trying to use it and it does look nicer but there are cases with true property where I'm not sure if something was a set_ method or a property; and for snake_case not all names (e.g. signals) got converted

[eager beacon]

Hopefully it will get sorted out within the next couple of releases. Right now I'm still a little bit uncomfortable starting a new project using Pyside6

And you're right, it does look nicer, becauese it looks like all of the other python code you normally see. What it doesn't look like is every other PySide/PyQt app there is, and that can be confusing.

[rocky dragon]

The only other issue I found related to the features was a method where they overloaded on a property so true property ended up overwriting the existing method

which hopefully gets fixed soon as there was some discussion on the issue I raised after painstakingly logging in into the jira

[eager beacon]

Haha yeah, reporting the bugs on qt.io can be a pain.

if you don't get a quick response, make sure to check on it every few days until someone triages the report

they love to stick Wont Fix tags on the reports, especially if you don't include an example

[eager viper]

I have a question about 3D rendering and such

Why is it that Python is considered too slow? Unless I'm mistaken, all of the rendering is happening at machine speed, deep in the undercode. Reacting to user events and then changing the gameworld might be a bit slow but I don't see any reason the rendering itself should suffer

Is there something I'm missing?

[sinful pendant]

Help: tkinter (Tk() related)
In my app i want to give my user an option to able to ake a particular frame in new window, so what should iwrite in my_frame.config(?=newroot)

[plain elk]

It's not too slow. It just a myth being spread by people who don't know what they're talking about, and more often than not, have never made a game. Or the old pygame is the only thing they tried.
Often you need to some math on some data and send that information to the gpu every frame, like moving things, collision, moving the camera. And that can be slower than in other languages. In pypy or cython it would not though, so really that mostly apply to the cpython implementation, not python itself. The fastest python game engines still calls a c++ program and have python bindings for it, so that's a good solution too

[eager viper]

See, that's always been my suspicion. So long as nothing is getting in the way of the rendering then it shouldn't really matter the speed of the language. Dealing with milliseconds instead of nanoseconds in terms of reaction and computation time seems dramatic but doesn't really make a difference

[quick crest]

Hi everyone, I'm looking forward to build a GUI using python because but I prefer using web technologies for the UI. Kinda like electron for Python.
is there any framework/library to recommend ?

[eager viper]

XD Well actually

I've been working on building that very framework for a few years now

School has been slowing me down, but I'd like to be done early next year

Or at least in beta

In the mean time you can check this out. With this you can package the browser and application framework in a python app (presumably bundled with pyinstaller)

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

CefPython lets you call javascript directly from python, and vice versa, so you can establish pretty clear cut communication between the front and back ends

But you still have to code the UI in HTML/CSS, attach the event listeners in JS and actuators in JS, and do the meat-and-pototes computation in python

[quick crest]

wow, I'll check it out

[eager viper]

XD Yeah

It would be nice if there was a simpler answer

Noobish question here: are there any 3D rendering libraries for Python similar to Three.js?

Or Unity, I suppose. Something that uses meshes with vertices, normals, uvs, etc. and also textures

[digital rose]

you may like using htmx for sending fragments over the wire. ie. https://github.com/byteface/htmxtest/blob/master/app.py
and use pyinstaller to bundle your server.

[rocky dragon]

I got most of it, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the item's foreground color (set by setForeground) in the paint method, and then also checking whether it's being edited - from the two state options I found in the docs one doesn't change and the second one doesn't exist

hey i was wondering whether when wanting to design different screens for a gui (ie, login screen that moves to a main menu, or a high scores screen) should these each be separate classes?

mean

oop

[lime monolith]

the means by which the user and a computer system interact, in particular the use of input devices and software.
You are using Discords User Interface

kinda got it i think

[plain elk]

user interface is the buttons and stuff on the screen

[signal crane]

how can i close the gui app.close(), then run it again without actually running it, like restart?

[mighty rock]

Have a frame widget that you pour into everything you want to "restart", create a function that packs and configures stuff in that frame and have the frame packed as well, then make a "restart" function that deletes this frame and calls your function that creates and packs this frame

hey everyone,
I have a question in regards with Pyglet if anyone has had experience using the module..

I have been able to load my gif to a window that is proportioned according to the gifs image. I am now trying to create a full screen window with the gif to fit the size of the monitor but have been unsuccessful getting error messages and such and at the moment just have the animate gif in the corner not scaled to full screen with a purple background. Below is the code including the original code for the small windowed gif that is commented and below it is the code for the full screen gif

import pyglet
from pyglet.canvas import get_display

# 'Load animation'
# animation = pyglet.image.load_animation('Goober#13427G.gif')
# animSprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(animation)

# 'Set width and height of window'
# w = animSprite.width
# h = animSprite.height

# 'creates window dimensions according to WxH of gif'
# window = pyglet.window.Window(width=w, height=h)
# r,g,b,alpha = 0.5,0.5,0.8,.05
# pyglet.gl.glClearColor(r,g,b,alpha)

# @window.event
# def on_draw():
#     window.clear()
#     animSprite.draw()

# pyglet.app.run()

'Load animation'
animation = pyglet.image.load_animation('Goober#13427G.gif')
animSprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(animation)

'attempted code to scale'
# H_ratio = max(animSprite.height, display.height) / min(animSprite.height, display.height)
# W_ratio = max(animSprite.width, display.width) / min(animSprite.width, display.width)


' Get display and create a fullscreen window according to screen'
display = get_display()

pyglet.gl.glClearColor(r,g,b,alpha)

Making an emoji keyboard for windows with PyQt5, is there a window flag or some other way to not transfer the focus to the newly created PyQt window when it initializes and shows?

Picture to explain the idea further, the search bar gets the focus, aka anything that's typed goes there and i would rather have the focus stay wherever it used to be

(the grey background text editor is separate application)

[edgy kestrel]

Kinda got it working by getting the hwnd of the pyqt window and the old window and manually switching the focus to the old window after initialization but that seems kinda bodgey way of doing it

[runic warren]

class App(tkinter.Tk):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        tkinter.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
        container = tkinter.Frame(self)
        container.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
        container.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        container.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

        tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, parent, bg='#FFFFFF')
        self.controller = controller
        img = tkinter.PhotoImage(file=image_path)
        self.label_image = tkinter.Label(self, image=img).pack()

problem is the image is not visible

im assuming that light grey is the view for Label but image is not visible

any help is appreciated

[lime monolith]

keep a reference to the image so it is not garbage collected.

class Home(tkinter.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, controller):
        tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, parent, bg='#FFFFFF')
        self.controller = controller
        img = tkinter.PhotoImage(file=image_path)
        self.label_image = tkinter.Label(self, image=img).pack()
        self.label_image.img = img

[runic warren]

gotcha

although correct code would be

class Home(tkinter.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, controller):
        tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, parent, bg='#FFFFFF')
        self.controller = controller
        img = tkinter.PhotoImage(file=image_path)
        self.label_image = tkinter.Label(self, image=img)
        self.label_image.image = img
        self.label_image.pack()

also it worked 😄

[teal forge]

anyone can help with pyglet?

[blissful jasper]

Hi, does someone know how can I show the current screen in a GUI? Which functionality is this or which libraries can do this, thanks

[amber roost]

I've written some code recently that stretches the viewport keeping a base aspect ratio, but that should be easily transferred to your gif: https://github.com/Square789/PydayNightFunkin/blob/main/pyday_night_funkin/graphics/pnf_window.py#L24
Since sprites work with a scaling factor, I think (when copypasting and keeping the variable names the same) animSprite.scale_x = (viewport_width / animSprite._texture.width) and the same for the height should be able to do the trick
tgt_wh_ratio would probably also need to be set to the GIF aspect ratio if i didn't take a wrong turn in my thinking

[teal forge]

hmm, I'm looking at the code and its quite different from what I wrote but im assuming the CNST import from the import pyday is a animation youve loaded?

[amber roost]

it's effectively just 1280/720

Do you want to keep the gifs aspect ratio or do you just want to stretch it to fill out the window?

[teal forge]

if i stretch it the pixels will become distorted im assuming right?

if so then id keep the aspect ratio accordingly so it stays true to image and just fills the screen

[amber roost]

that is what this code should be able to do, although i guess it may be too complicated; is your window resizable?

[teal forge]

for my code? it doesnt exactly create a window per say it. It creates a full screen window that isnt closable until the code is interrupted. The first half of the code is a windowed version that is closeable via the "x" but its created according to the size of the image

hm, i replaced the
CNST.GAME_WIDTH / CNST.GAME_HEIGHT variables in

tgt_wh_ratio = CNST.GAME_WIDTH / CNST.GAME_HEIGHT

with my own width and height of the image along with loading my animation and while the code ran nothing happened let me check with debug what occured

[amber roost]

ah right, i probably should've read your sample, my bad
Basically that means you don't really have control over the dimensions of the window though, I don't know if the on_resize handler works with fullscreen windows, but try something like

tgt_wh_ratio = animSprite._texture.width / animSprite._texture.height

@window.event
def on_resize(w, h):
    cur_wh_ratio = w/h if h > 0 else 999
    if cur_wh_ratio > tgt_wh_ratio:
        ...
    animSprite.scale_x = viewport_width / animSprite._texture.width
    animSprite.scale_y = viewport_height / animSprite._texture.height

Although it should be possible to just use animSprite.scale to scale it equally along both axes, but i am too tired to figure out the math for that right now

Probably best to use the _texture's width/height since otherwise the sprite will return its scaled width, which is exactly what we don't want when figuring out the correct scaling

[teal forge]

I see

I'm a tad more confused trying to relate both codes to make it work but im looking at the pyglet scale documentation that ive read before but going to attempt something with that hopefully something will work with it

[teal forge]

I’m brand new to pyglet so im not sure how _textures work but will be looking at the docs when I get back from lunch

[raw citrus]

i need to make this button open local file that i choose and open it on the same window not a new window

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

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("GUI")
root.iconbitmap('icon.ico')
root.option_add("*tearOff", False) # This is always a good idea
root.geometry("1000x600")
root.columnconfigure(index=0, weight=1)
root.columnconfigure(index=1, weight=1)
root.columnconfigure(index=2, weight=1)
root.rowconfigure(index=0, weight=1)
root.rowconfigure(index=1, weight=1)
root.rowconfigure(index=2, weight=1)
root.resizable(False,False)# Create a style
style = ttk.Style(root)

Import the tcl file

root.tk.call("source", "proxttk-dark.tcl")

Set the theme with the theme_use method

style.theme_use("proxttk-dark")

#Button Function
def openfolder():
newwindow = Toplevel(Frame1)

d = tk.IntVar(value=2)
Frame1 = ttk.Frame(root, padding=(40,0,0,10))

Frame1.columnconfigure(index=0, weight=1)
Button = ttk.Button(Frame1, text="Open File",style="AccentButton",command=openfolder)
Button.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=200, pady=10, sticky="nsew")

[teal forge]

@amber roost managed to scale the image accordingly to the screen and it works wonderfully(left screen is full screen image),
thanks for the help

[amber roost]

That looks like you just hardcoded the scale to your specific screen size, this is probably going to fail on other monitors

[teal forge]

i did indeed lol

i needed to understand the scaling function first

now i have to figure out how to implement it with the displays accordingly

this is the code currrenly @amber roost :

'Load animation'
animation = pyglet.image.load_animation('Goober#13427G.gif')
animSprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(animation)

'Set width and height of window'
w = animSprite.width
h = animSprite.height

'Scale image to screen'
animSprite.scale_x = 3.2
animSprite.scale_y = 1.71

' Get display and create a fullscreen window according to screen'
display = get_display()
screens = display.get_screens()
window = pyglet.window.Window(fullscreen=True, screen=screens[1])

r, g, b, alpha = 0.5, 0.5, 0.8, .05
pyglet.gl.glClearColor(r, g, b, alpha)


@window.event
def on_draw():
    window.clear()
    animSprite.draw()


pyglet.app.run()

my issue is i get this error saying that for example "win32display" has no attribute height when I try to scale it with that

thats why i went the route of hardcoding for now

[amber roost]

actually thinking up an example, i got something significantly less convoluted working:

animSprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(animation)
SPRITE_W = spr._texture.width
SPRITE_H = spr._texture.height
SPRITE_WH_RATIO = SPRITE_W / SPRITE_H
...
@window.event
def on_resize(w, h):
    wh_ratio = w / h if h > 0 else 999
    if wh_ratio > SPRITE_WH_RATIO:
        spr_factor = h / SPRITE_H
    else:
        spr_factor = w / SPRITE_W
    animSprite.scale = spr_factor

This forces the sprite to the bottom corner though, may not be exactly what you want
If you get an error mentioning Win32Display, you are not accessing windows but displays (which from what i can read on the docs are effectively window containers)

the image you sent looks stretched, in which case you don't really need to compare aspect ratios and can just use this directly:

@window.event
def on_resize(w, h):
    animSprite.scale_x = w / SPRITE_W
    animSprite.scale_y = h / SPRITE_H

[buoyant fulcrum]

Hi Guys

Could I opinions on how I might make my GUI look better

I have a design, but I think the input fields look boring and plain

[eager beacon]

One small change you could make that would make a big difference is to align the labels next to the input boxes to the right.

I'd also increase the height of each of the LineEdits by a few pixels

adding a border-radius of 2-3 pixels on those inputs after increasing the height would be nice too

Theres a lot of empty space to the right on the inputs, maybe think about reducing the overall width of the UI

You also don't need to label each button at the bottom with BUTTON, its obvious those are buttons

[buoyant fulcrum]

Thank you!

[eager beacon]

What library/OS are you using?

[buoyant fulcrum]

Tkinter

[buoyant fulcrum]

I made the basics of what's in the image

[wind plinth]

What is this local file

[fathom vessel]

Are there any ways to run python scripts using voice assistants. Google assistant would be ideal but I would settle for Bixby or Alexa

[unreal rivet]

anyone have same issue when upgrade to macOS monterey? which is the tkinter windows showing all black when using it.

[eager beacon]

I think you might need to download a version on python from python.org and try using that version to run the app

@unreal rivet if you install python with brew i think you will also need to install tk with brew. brew install python-tk

[unreal rivet]

I'm executed brew install python-tk with no error. but still got the same result

[eager beacon]

did you install python 3.9 with brew?

[unreal rivet]

is new macOS cause that? I'm remembered that there's no problem in BigSur

[eager beacon]

I mean, maybe... It could be something broken in that version of Tk, or it could be that apple broke something

[unreal rivet]

yeah, I'm install python3.7 through brew, and I'm try using python3 (XCode tools kit) which is working....

🤔

[eager beacon]

why 3.7?

[unreal rivet]

cause I'm remembered that openCV or dlib reqiured python3.7 or python3.8, but the in-built python already got python3.9...

:😢

[eager beacon]

I'm pretty sure that brew install python-tk defaults to the 3.9 version of TK which would require python 3.9 to run

[unreal rivet]

maybe? I could install python-tk@python3.7 ?

[eager beacon]

I don't think that exists

[unreal rivet]

right.................

why? but I used to use tkinter with python3.7 before.........

🤔

[eager beacon]

Yeah, In 3.7 tk was bundled with the brew python

but there may be something that hasn't been updated for the new OS in that version

just try brew install python@3.9 and try to run the tk script with 3.9

even if the other libraries aren't supported you should be able to get an idea if it's the Tk/Python version that is causing the issue and go from there

I'm guessing that it will work, since you were able to run it through XCode

I remember a while back when Mojave introduced dark mode there was a somewhat similar problem with PyQt5

[digital rose]

how to know type of event in tkinter like when i enter a widget or leave it, both causes triggers the same function but i want the function to be dependent on the type of event so how can i detect that?

and how do i create a horizontal paned window in tkinter like side by side and not top to bottom?

i tried to do it with 1 paned window and 2 labels but it turned out to be stacked instead of being side to side

[mighty rock]

Are you sure these aren't two different events?

[digital rose]

No they are 2 different events for sure

Like when I print(event) it shows something like
<Event Enter blah blah numbers>

Or

<Event Leave blah blah numbers>

But IDK how to use that

[mighty rock]

Bind to these events with a different function

Hey @slender mica!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.pdf). 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.

[slender mica]

nvm cant send them

who can help me?

[teal forge]

Anyone can bring some clarity to my code as to why when I attempt to scale my gif to full screen half the screen is white while the other is the gif(animation)? This is using the Pyglet python module.

Here's my code along with an image of the issue:

'Load animation'
animation = pyglet.image.load_animation('Goober#13427G.gif')
animSprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(animation)

# 'Scale image to screen *harcoded*'
# animSprite.scale_x = 3.2
# animSprite.scale_y = 1.71

' Get display and create a fullscreen window while scaling gif to screen'
display = pyglet.canvas.Display()
screen = display.get_screens()

H_ratio = max(animSprite.height, screen[1].height) / min(animSprite.height, screen[1].height)
W_ratio = max(animSprite.width, screen[1].width) / min(animSprite.width, screen[1].width)

animSprite.scale = min(H_ratio, W_ratio) 

window = pyglet.window.Window(width=screen[1].width, height=screen[1].height, fullscreen=True, screen=screen[1])

r, g, b, alpha = 1, 1, 1, .5
pyglet.gl.glClearColor(r, g, b, alpha)


@window.event
def on_draw():
    window.clear()
    animSprite.draw()


pyglet.app.run()

You can try PyQt or kivy

[agile matrix]

well any one can help me in tkinter GUI i dont why my black frame got disappear when i pack red to it

#Import the required library
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

#Create an instance of tkinter frame
win = tk.Tk()
win.geometry("800x500")

nb=ttk.Notebook(win)


frm1=tk.Frame(nb,bg='grey',width=800, height=450)
frm2=tk.Frame(nb,bg='blue',width=800, height=450)

nb.add(frm1,text='General')
nb.add(frm2,text='2')

frm_gen=tk.Frame(frm1,bg='black',width=210, height=120)
frm_gen.pack()

nb.place(x=0,y=0)
#frm_pro=tk.Frame(frm_gen,bg='red',width=20, height=12)
#frm_pro.pack()
win.mainloop()

i just commented out that here in my code so when u run that it will show you a black frame in the general tab
but when i add red frame to it black frame just disappear only red frame will display

in short i wanna create frame(red) inside a frame(black)

Yeah, just a second

Here it is: https://pastebin.com/7SNACguG

[wraith plover]

check dm's

[glacial gust]

What you may need to do is call root.rowconfigure(i, weight=X) to specify which row needs to resize when the window does. By default it won't stretch at all. Usually you'd set one to have a weight of 1.

But the data are all shown in the first column, not in their respective columns

would appreciate any help

it doesn't read the keys, so you just have to put in the raw values

Im working on a clock in tkinter canvas (need canvas because I have an image background)

canvas1 = Canvas( root, width = 800 ,height = 600, bd=-2)

canvas1.pack(fill = "both", expand = True)

# Display image
background = canvas1.create_image( 0, 0, image = bg, anchor = "nw")

# Add Text
clockText = canvas1.create_text( 200, 250, text = "Welcome")

def clock():

    second =  time.strftime("%S")
    suffix = "AM"

    if int(hour) > 12:
        suffix = "PM"
        hour = int(hour)-12
    else:

    text = str(hour)+":"+minute+":"+second+" "+suffix
    canvas1.itemconfig(clockText, text=text)
    canvas1.after(1000, clock())

When I run this I get this error:

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in __instancecheck__

Anyone know how to fix?

[sudden coral]

Maybe you meant to do canvas1.after(1000, clock) instead?

[limber oxide]

Ill try that

works

tysm

[sudden coral]

Np. That passes the function itself rather than calling it and passing its return value

[limber oxide]

ohh

[limber oxide]

@sudden coral do you know how to scale the text with the window so its a certain percentage (I dont know how big the screen, I will be using is)

[sudden coral]

No, sorry. I am not familiar with tkinter. I was just able to spot that error you had cause it was a more general mistake, not specific to tkinter.

[limber oxide]

ohh ok

[native carbon]

there's little to no libraries that give built-in support for scaling text. you'll have to take the window resolution into account for this.

if you don't know the dimensions of the window, it's not hard to get them either:

width, height = window.winfo_width(), window.winfo_height()

base_res = 1024, 740

width_perc = (width / base_res[0]) * 100
height_perc = (height / base_res[1]) * 100

scale_perc = ((width_perc + height_perc) // 2) * 100```

[limber oxide]

Ik, the monitor is an old one I have and its a different pc as what im testing

[native carbon]

^ a simple formula for taking out the scale factor (which i found online).

[limber oxide]

Ty

Also I want to work on any screen

[limber oxide]

Does this give pixel size?

[native carbon]

apparently, yes.

[limber oxide]

Okay tysm, ill test when I get home from school tomorrow

[runic warren]

how to make something like this using Tkinter?

I suppose using a for loop and grid would be best?

[tawdry mulch]

Yes

[runic warren]

not the answer i was expecting

🤔

[tawdry mulch]

Y not

[runic warren]

I asked a 'How to' question but I got Yes/No answer

[tawdry mulch]

Show some code that u have so far, then

[runic warren]

not alot actually

not very good with tkinter

here i what i've so far (before i went for a big break)

import tkinter
from tkinter import EW

from src.utils.log import Log


class One(tkinter.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, controller):
        tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, parent, bg='#ffffff')
        self.controller = controller

        parent.grid()

        # Title text label
        tkinter.Label(self,
                      text="Application Form",
                      bg="#194159", fg="#ffffff",
                      font=("Noto Sans", 21, "bold"),
                      ).grid(sticky=EW)
        self.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

        tkinter.Label(self,
                      text="Step 1 - Basic Information",
                      bg="#ffffff", fg="#194159",
                      font=("Noto Sans", 14)
                      ).grid(sticky=EW, pady=16)

[silver sun]

hey so i am trying to add frames inside a Toplevel window, im new to tkinter and is there any way to set a fixed height for the frame? i am using grid for the placements of the frames

[native carbon]

you can specify the dimensions when declaring the frame:

some_frame = Frame(master, width=500, height=500)

and if you don't want the frame to cross those dimensions,

some_frame.grid_propagate(False)

[native carbon]

you need to really specify what exactly you want to do (keeping the reference GUI in mind) - i.e something like "similar widgets", or "the widget placement" or maybe "the color scheme" to begin with.

if you just want to place the widgets in a similar manner, then yes, grid is exactly what you need.

[green stump]

What signal or event do I have for selection change in PySide2?

[eager beacon]

most likely itemSelectionChanged, which widget are you using?

[green stump]

QListWidget

I was trying to search for that

but they named it selectionChanged

took me a while

[eager beacon]

I think thats only available if you're using an itemSelectionModel

itemSelectionChanged is the signal thats emitted when the focus changes from one item to another in a list/tableWidget

[green stump]

That happens not to be in pyside2

[eager beacon]

weird, its listed as itemSelectionChanged in the docs.

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-5/PySide2/QtWidgets/QListWidget.html#PySide2.QtWidgets.PySide2.QtWidgets.QListWidget.itemSelectionChanged

[green stump]

ohh, this is hella weird, it's just that my intellisense isn't picking it up

maybe it has something to do with the way it's C bindings are made

[eager beacon]

Oh, yeah... don't depend on that for the signals. The stubs aren't generated properly for them, so sometimes they will show up, other times they wont

always check the docs

[green stump]

thanks chris!

[shy torrent]

Is there a guide to completely and correctly install PySide6?

With the designer working completely and stuff?

Not talking about specific problems, but just generally a „this is what you have to do“ and /or „these errors are normal and do not mean you installed it wrong or missing something“

[rocky dragon]

I think a normal pip install should work

[shy torrent]

Starting the designer, the extra example widgets arent in there and previewing python code does not work (the last one could be normal from what I remember)

I know it needs to do something with the env vars, but finding that info doesn‘t really work

[rocky dragon]

ah I wasn't aware there was more to the designer than the basics as I don't use it

[shy torrent]

Its not that I need it, it is more that this is the stuff that I see that errors and makes me suspicious that stuff that I not see could error as well. So I want to make sure that my setup is completely done right.

[shy timber]

Kivy question:
Tkinter has a function where when you grid something you can place it in a specific row e.g. .grid(column=2)
I want to create a row with 2 buttons and only have one widget like this

     text
button button

How could I do this in kivy?

[tribal path]

What do you mean 2 buttons but 1 widget... example looks like 3 widgets as well

[daring arch]

Please tell me what to do in this situation? I did not find it in Google. I apologize in advance if I wrote to the wrong channel

[rocky dragon]

How would I go right aligning or auto scrolling text in a QStatusBar? I have a relatively narrow window and want to display information like network errors to the user through it, but those can be longer and the relevant part of the message is on the right

[eager beacon]

depending on how nice it should look, you can use a custom label with a paint event to drawText and a timer when fired sets the position of the text further to the left until the message has been completely scrolled across the screen. You can use QFontMetrics to get the width of the text

If it were me and I was feeling lazy I would just use a timer connected to a method that sets the text and in the method use slicing to remove letters from the front until the entire message has been scrolled.

[eager beacon]

go back to your UI file and make sure the name is correct, if it is, that means the UI file was generated before you saved the name.

[rocky dragon]

ah, was hoping to avoid implementing something like that as it usually ends up being more complicated than it has any right to be but guess I'll bite the bullet; at least it's non critical and easy to replace the status bar with

[eager beacon]

The method that uses slicing to show less and less of the string everytime the timer fires should be pretty simple to implement and should look alright. You might need to use a fixed width label to prevent the text from moving further to the right when the string gets too short

[rocky dragon]

was hoping to also mix in some kind of a "i'm busy doing something" indicator so I could do that with the repaint

[eager beacon]

I've seen a couple different repos on gh that have circular progress bars, you could just use one of those, or just use a label with a timer to animate some slashes/pipe to make it look like its spinning

[rocky dragon]

Yeah the simple text one was the first thing that came to mind, just something to keep the user aware that things are happening while it's waiting for a long running job

Another problem I'm having is that I couldn't find how to get a colour set through a QTableWidgetItem.setForeground in a QStyledItemDelegate's paint method

[eager beacon]

I'm not sure I understand.. Why are you trying to use setForeground when you can use the paintEvent?

[rocky dragon]

I mark items as "done" by setting their colour to grey through setForeground, then for some coloumns I have a custom item delegate for checkboxes

within the item delegate's paint event I couldn't find a way to access the colour set by setForeground

this is how the delegate looks now https://paste.fuelrats.com/iqakequzer.py

well I badly copied it but the missing methods are only for the focus rect and figuring out where to put the checkbox

[eager beacon]

Ohhh, okay. the delegate is only the checkbox.. I thought each item was drawn from a delegate.

I'm not sure how do do it from there, maybe a signal to fire when its checked thats received in the QTableWidget?

I've only used delegates a few times and I don't think I've ever tried what you're doing, but I'll double check to see if I have some code after I get my kid in bed.

[rocky dragon]

I've looked through the docs a couple of times now and I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious or if it's something complicated. But there has to be the way as the defaults handle it just fine

[limber oxide]

Anyone know how to use a custom font on linux and windows for tkinter?

[eager beacon]

Sorry that took so long - Let me read this again and I'll check my code.

Ohh, okay.. I read that wrong the first time... If you just want to get the color you've already set then its just: index.data(Qt.TextColorRole).color()

[waxen thunder]

anyone know how to make a gui that updates from a webpage and displays things like stock prices etc?

[runic warren]

RxPy maybe

atleast thats what i would use but there other ways u can implement auto-update

[waxen thunder]

ty i'll try to get this working. it's been a goal of mine to create a small application that basically is an alternative to tradingview because i hate that you have to sub to tradingview to get good charting

[eager beacon]

Thats an ambitious project

[runic warren]

thats what they said bout Elon Musk 😏

[waxen thunder]

yeah and tbh i'm not sure i can do it. i started learning python a few weeks ago, but i have 3 years experience in java so it's really just learning syntax and different names. i have no time frame on when it's gonna be finished but idrc. i wanna make it donation based like ad block or even just a one time payment and sell ad space instead of doing a subscription to get the most basic services

the only reason i'm switching is because java is so antiquated that i don't wanna be left behind

and the reason i'm doing application based approach instead of web based is because webull moved into the application space and has kinda dominated the game since they started

How can I enable this drag and drop / rearranging inside a grid layout?
https://i.gyazo.com/44b39d3388b8d4c4a0475eb1412f700a.gif

[eager beacon]

Your best bet is going to be using PySide/PyQt and PyQtGraph. It already has a lot of plotting capabilities, so you won't have to do everything from scratch.

You can use requests to pull the html or data from an API. If you have to extract the data from the html you can use bs4.

[waxen thunder]

Is there a way to open a python software using a windows shortcut?

like if I wanted to open a tkinter project I made with a shortcut such as ctrl + shift + g

[brazen thicket]

Copy the full path to your python file (shift-right-click on the file, "save as path")
Somewhere in a folder, right-click in the empty space, "New", "shortcut".
Type python and the path to your file.
Save and exit.
Alt-double-click on the new shortcut to see its properties.
In "Target", you should see that the path to python has been filled in. If not, replace it with the full path to python.exe.
Target should look like "C:\python310\python.exe" "C:\scripts\myscript.py". Basically it should be a valid command-line call.
Delete the content of "Start in" (or change it to the folder that contains your script, ie what you want the CWD to be).
Click OK.
Double-click the shortcut to test it works.

Now, if you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to it... I didn't manage to make it work, but this is the theory:
In the shortcut Properties, highlight "Shortcut Key" and enter the keybind you want.
Apparently this will only work if you register the shortcut in the Start menu:
In Windows Explorer, put this in the address bar: %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Copy your shortcut into that folder.
Reboot (or log out and in).

hey guys

in wxpython is this best way of creating a new window ? like you would new window for settings or something

best GUI Library for python?

[young sedge]

simpliest to use... SimpleGUI, just the best to use PyQT6/PySide6 (the only drawback is complicated licensing situation, which makes big problem for commercial probjects)

[old sky]

ok

and GTK?

is it any good?

[young sedge]

dunno. but it looks like having visual editors, which is already high plus in my opinion. License looks nice, not restrictive, docs look rich.

I would have tried it I guess

[supple charm]

What would be the proper way to add a button event to a tkinter button? Currently i have:

def fetch_login():
  username = username_label_entry.get()
  password = password_label_entry.get()
  login.attempt_login(username, password)

login_button = ttk.Button(text="Log in!", style="Accent.TButton", command=fetch_login)
login_button.bind('<Return>', fetch_login)```
But it is throwing me an error: `TypeError: fetch_login() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given`

Do i need to create an additional function which would take keypress as an argument, and then execute the function i need or?

[woeful niche]

oo thanks

[woeful niche]

oo u mean the icons? yea they look nice, but the way your UI is layed out kind of makes it seem plain as a whole ngl

[woeful niche]

umm I don't think the binding is necessary here, try running is without the last line

[supple charm]

Nothing happens on keypress then

But i noticed something weird even with binding

Enter wont work untill i click on button manually once

[woeful niche]

hmmm

what was the <return> supposed to check again?

[supple charm]

Just execute a function

So both Return key and mouse button on button should do same thing

[woeful niche]

hmm

so like it checks of any keypress?

I make my buttons like this, and they work fine

ill try using ur code

yea return doesnt work for me either

[supple charm]

🤔

Idk what type of program you are making, but if it were me, I'd just use a frame in a tk window, it's much easier to play with

Then you can use bg to change it's colour

[wary grotto]

Btw why don't you send an ss of the output and also tell us if there are any error msgs you are getting

[obsidian maple]

Well I just wanna get an UI with buttons and tabs with a background image

It doesn't get me an error msg

It just put a white bg instead of my image

[ionic finch]

pls help me with this..

[digital rose]

Hmm

[digital rose]

Can you create a different help channel instead of posting it in an occupied one please

[digital rose]

You you send me a screenshot of how the program works

The output I mean

[ionic finch]

Okay

Just after running the code

After browsing the file and clicking on mean button

[digital rose]

Ok so what do you want to happen when it click mean?

[ionic finch]

it should display these 4 buttons..
And when I click on each of them it should display their mean
Like when I click on NA_Sales, it should display mean of NA_Sales, same for EU_Sales and others..

[digital rose]

Ok

[ionic finch]

Right now what is happening is
When I click on mean button , automatically it is showing mean of global sales and the 4 buttons are not working

[digital rose]

Ok

Hold on

[ionic finch]

sure

[digital rose]

So what you need to do is detect the output when the buttons are clicked like you did when you coded the detection of the "mean" button.

Then you need to calculate the mean fkr that, and display it in a label

Pack the calculated data and display it next to the buttons

[digital rose]

But can't you just put the data into a label and display it without the hassle of detecting the event of a button?

[ionic finch]

I want to display the mean only when the button is clicked

[digital rose]

Ok

[digital rose]

Then follow this

[ionic finch]

What is wrong in this?
why only global sales mean is showing

[ionic finch]

I did not understood this..

What I need to do? in the code part?

[digital rose]

I'm not sure

I barely have experience with tkinter I'm just going off knowledge that I know already

Sorry I couldn't help

[ionic finch]

no worries

[ionic finch]

i will try to do this
Thanks

[hollow wadi]

You need to put in something to the tab1 frame in order to really show up. That's the same problem I had face when doing tabs

[kindred dome]

Does anyone know how you can change a ttk.Progressbar's background colour? I've searched everywhere and have only been able to change the actual progress part (that is usually green) to a different colour, rather than the real background. It looks really weird against the dark mode aesthetic I have in my program.

[hollow wadi]

sorry dunno, but it looks really cool. I've tried using themes for my tkinter and it really slowed down.

[kindred dome]

Yeah I guess it's not too bad as it's a fairly small part of the program at the bottom. I suppose there isn't a way to do it as many of the Tkinter programs I've seen aren't "modern" in the sense that they have a dark mode anyway, so it may have just never been developed.

[hollow wadi]

surely they are not taking good care for 'aesthetic' parts of it.

[kindred dome]

AH I figured it out! You've got to install a module called ttkthemes and then change ttk.Style() to ThemedStyle() and then you have access to all of these themes: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/List+of+ttk+Themes

[hollow wadi]

yes that works, I've almost tried all of them

but the 'app getting really slow' part made me abandon themes

some do slow the app while the others do not

[kindred dome]

Yeah. I think since the rest of my program is just using colour codes that I manually put in, the themes shouldn't slow too much, hopefully...

[hollow wadi]

I think it has to do with nudging in 'svg' files in

your way won't affect the performance I guess

a little bit digressing, but check this out too.
https://github.com/rdbende/Azure-ttk-theme

looks neat, and it does not seem to slow down the program too.

[kindred dome]

That does actually look pretty useful. However I'm about 24 hours into banging my head against the wall trying to figure out colour codes so I'm just going to reserve this for another program I make rather than replacing all the stuff I did 😄

[hollow wadi]

Yes that kind of work deserves a medal, don't let that go away

[naive furnace]

Just wanted to add that there is also ttk bootstrap which I have never used but have bookmarked for some while: https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap

[hollow wadi]

thanks for the link. I would definitely try it on next design. it looks very good

[naive furnace]

Do people always use wildcard import from tkinter import * with tkinter?

[noble lion]

I'm rather new to tkinter but I have been using "import tkinter as tk"

[naive furnace]

Yeah, I do that, too

[ionic finch]

If there are "x" number of columns in a database and I want to create "x" buttons and when I click on them it would show the mean of each

How to do that?

[gaunt willow]

how do you get the number for the line in which the insertion cursor in the Text widget (Tkinter)?

[gaunt willow]

i hate discord

[mighty rock]

INSERT

That's the thing

Oh the line

[gaunt willow]

Yes-

[mighty rock]

line insert maybe?

Oh, with the index method

I'm pretty sure it exists let me check

There you go:

Text.index("insert linestart")

[wary grotto]

guys a small doubt, is there any difference between a 'class()' and a def function()'? if there is then can sm1 pls tell me the difference because i see many people use class() in their videos on yt but I don't see the need to...

[near sierra]

I've simplified the code to post it here. I'm using buttons and entry boxes in the frame, but the .ico doesn't show it anyway 😦

[obsidian otter]

Never did anything with a gui really, I want to make a sorting visualizer, can someone recommend me what to use please? preferably something I can use to later extend and do other algorithms too. Should I use tkinter?

[cobalt idol]

Hey can anyone tell me how can i call multiple function using a for loop

[sinful pendant]

What u wanna do

What u can do is that
func = [f1, f2, f3] for i in func: i()

[hollow wadi]

I see no code. if you do post it I'll give it a try to find out what's the problem. I have a working tabs code. maybe I could compare it

[hollow wadi]

classes are created to manage massive codes more easily. If your code is small and don't feel necessary to create one, you don't need to use them. If you are planning to create sth big, take time to look around what the class is.

[wary grotto]

thanks dude

With “tasks”, would it be that i should create a task, that will run different functions on my UI for creating a note? I have a simple Pi Zero with a react UI, that I’m running, and i have a button that i want to “set up” a new note. Sooooo, is that where i run a “task” that will cause automation to create the note when the button is pushed?

[supple charm]

Does anyone have experience with Eel?

[hollow wadi]

It tastes good

[mild cedar]

how can i make those buttons to the end

and if i try to resize the window with mouse

the button resize accordingly

i want to kee the width but want length is as the windows size

[mystic jetty]

hi! how could i make something like this in python, if it even is possible?

[mild cedar]

like the process bars?

@mystic jetty

[mystic jetty]

yeap

they are on multiple lines and i think theyre updating asynchronously

@mild cedar

[mild cedar]

yeah well that is easy you need to so hard code on tracking all downloaded and total bytes

[mystic jetty]

but how do i update multiple lines on the terminal at the same time?

i though you could only use \r for one line

[mild cedar]

wait

[digital rose]

\n

[mystic jetty]

inst \n line break?

like how to dinamically update stuff on the terminal lol :D

[mild cedar]

you are rght

\n just work for the last line

[digital rose]

no?

[mystic jetty]

yeah lol

what

[digital rose]

its the same line

[mild cedar]

may be use cls or clean

😛

[mystic jetty]

print("foo\nbar")

foo
bar

no but thats gonna clear the whole screen

[mild cedar]

yeah

[mystic jetty]

eh

like

this is a code

for

loadbar

def progress_bar(seconds, prefix="[*] Waiting: "):
    for i in range(seconds+1):
        percent = 100.0 * i / seconds
        sys.stdout.write('\r') # this is to clear the output ON the same line
        sys.stdout.write(f"{prefix}[{'=' * int(percent / (100.0 / 30) ):{30}}] {int(percent):>3}%")
        sys.stdout.flush()
        sleep(1)

this prints
[*] Waiting: [================== ]

but that is just one line,
what i want to do is:
update multiple lines at the same time.
as you can see im using the \r to clear the line here, but that words just on this line,
how can i make it clear other lines

[hollow wadi]

not sure the thing that you asked... but worth the try. it is from tkdocs tutorial

[mild cedar]

i tried everything nothing is working

[hollow wadi]

hmm wierd. it says it should be working here

Hello im using pysimpleGUI and i have a window with a background and i want to add 2 pictures (they are flags so the user can choose language) so they can continue to another window with their language. anyone got a guide or knows approximately how to do that?

[mild cedar]

def main():
    def test():
        print(key.get())
        if key.get() == "test":
            lic.destroy()
            Application().mainloop()

    lic = tk.Tk()

    tk.Label(lic, text="Enter Key"
        ).grid(row=0, column=0, pady=25, padx=15)
    key = tk.Entry(lic)
    key.grid(row=0, column=1, pady=25, padx=15)
    tk.Button(lic, width=10, height=2, text="Submit", command=test
        ).grid(row=0, column=2, pady=25, padx=15)

    lic.mainloop()

main()

can anyone do the same in better way

or likke in class inheritance

class Application(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

here is my application class

i am trying to make a licence window

first pass the licence before open the main app window

is kivy faster or react native?

not sure where to ask this

[rocky dragon]

I'd expect react native to be faster considering its size and kivy being a wrapper around opengl that then needs to packaged for the platform

Guys, I have a doubt, how do we use the time import in tkinter, because whenever I try to use it, it never works!

[hollow wadi]

you mean

import time

??

[gilded grail]

newsapp-abipravi.netlify.app how is my UI

[wary grotto]

no no ik how to import time, but when i try to use it in a code, for eg, some tkinter code, time.sleep(3), some other tkinter label to appear after 3 seconds, what happens is that the entire code gets paused for 3 seconds and then comes onto screen, but what i want to happen is that a label first appears when the code is run, and then afterwaiting for 3 seconds, a second label should appear, not all at once...i hope you understand what i am trying to tell you

[hollow wadi]

https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/eventloop.html

[hollow wadi]

In order to make things work without pausing the GUI you should understand how event loops work.

time.sleep(3)

This would definitely stop the GUI & entire application. Consider using this function

root.after(<time in ms>, <function>)

[wary grotto]

Thanks a lot

@hollow wadi

will surely try that!

[hollow wadi]

good luck

Is QT or Tkinter better to use for microcontrollers? Or, how about node?

[indigo crane]

made some improvements to the custom tkinter popup menus :)

and also i tried making a custom diff viewer

[digital rose]

hey everyone,
can anyone please tell me how to customise title bar in tkinter

[indigo crane]

The window decoration is handled by the window manager, in order to customize your title bar you will have to remove all the decorations using .overrideredirect(), but you will also lose the default functionality of resizing, iconifying, or closing the window

in your case, simply call .overrideredirect(True) on root, and add your custom title bar object, that will do

[digital rose]

i found one solution on internet but i cant understand one function in it

`from tkinter import *
from tkinter import font

root = Tk()

def move_window(event):
root.geometry('+{0}+{1}'.format(event.x_root, event.y_root))

root.overrideredirect(True) # turns off title bar, geometry
root.geometry('400x100+200+200') # set new geometry

make a frame for the title bar

title_bar = Frame(root, bg='white', relief='raised', bd=2)

put a close button on the title bar

close_button = Button(title_bar, text='X', command=root.destroy)

a canvas for the main area of the window

window = Canvas(root, bg='black')

pack the widgets

title_bar.pack(expand=1, fill=X)
close_button.pack(side=RIGHT)
window.pack(expand=1, fill=BOTH)
Label(window, text='TEXT', font='Lucida 40 bold', fg='black').pack()

bind title bar motion to the move window function

title_bar.bind('<B1-Motion>', move_window)

root.mainloop()`

[digital rose]

this move_window function

[indigo crane]

since you used overrideredirect your window will not be draggable with the mouse, this function tries to simulate the movement with the mouse

[mighty rock]

Do you have a tip to handle iconifying?

How should I iconify a window?

Just move it off the screen?

I also need an icon of an app appearing in the taskbar

[indigo crane]

How to show data in table format from a csv file in tkinter?

you can use a treeview for that

or use a bunch of labels on a grid, that works too

Hello is it possible to for example, when the user clicks the button it will change pictures

so I know how to use pictures as buttons but how could i configre the button when its clicked to change to another image?

anyone?

[sinful pendant]

Yes

U can put all images in list then u can iterate, them using index suck that the 'next' button will increase index value by one and then the image retreshes

How to display top 10 records from a csv file in tkinter?

Is it possible to change the colour of this flashing bar in entry widgets?

Oof, that image isn't great, you've got to look really close. If you can't see it, then it's the little bar that shows you where you are in the text when you click on it.

Nvm figured it out. It's this:

Entry(root, insertbackground="#FFFFFF")

[digital rose]

is there anybody familiar with PyQt can tell me How can i use 2 QTimer in a single script?

[wary birch]

Can't you just name 2 seperate variables as the two timers?

[digital rose]

i tried, It crashes

[wary birch]

I'm really far from an expert, but my guess is that when the first timer emits the signal and you have it do something, the second timer gets "stuck" because you may be doing everything in the main thread. Perhaps you could try doing the task for each timer in separate threads?

I also need some help in case someone can give me a hand. I've been at this for hours and I can't spot the mistake. I'm sorry for barging in @digital rose

[eager beacon]

@digital rose what was the error message?

[indigo crane]

simply assign an image changing function to your button

for example ```py

def change_icon():
btn.config(image=another_image)

btn = tk.Button(parent, image=first_image, command=change_icon)

[indigo crane]

this can help
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42748343/how-to-show-csv-file-in-a-grid

[indigo crane]

Configure your canvas to have highlightthickness=0.
The Canvas has two components that affect the edges: the border (borderwidth/bd attribute) and highlight ring (highlightthickness attribute).

settings highlightthickness=0 during the instantiation may not help, you will have to use .config()/.configure() method

[indigo crane]

the idea of creating a custom treeview that can hold more than just labels is getting interesting

I liked your work so much it seems like another level, can u give me some hints that how do u do this

Using tcl?

oh no, its all just tkinter, some widgets fail to help me achieve what i need, so goes making my own ones :)

@indigo crane there is still a poxel space on right and bottom

I filled hightlightcolour with same screen colour

Oops sry for a ping, i just pinged u without thinking myself first😅

ty

Does anyone have like any starting code if I want to make different pages and in differnet files?

[indigo crane]

might be the relief

try these bd=0, highlightthickness=0, relief='ridge'

[indigo crane]

that works too :)

[indigo crane]

pages? like different windows? maybe you are looking for Toplevel windows

[eternal scroll]

Like

we can use different classes

I saw this off somewhere

class Page2(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)

        label = ttk.Label(self, text="Page 2", font=LARGEFONT)
        label.grid(row=0, column=4, padx=10, pady=10)

        # button to show frame 2 with text
        # layout2
        button1 = ttk.Button(self, text="Page 1",
                             command=lambda: controller.show_frame(new_main_flixgen.Page1))

        # putting the button in its place by
        # using grid
        button1.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=10, pady=10)

        # button to show frame 3 with text
        # layout3
        button2 = ttk.Button(self, text="Startpage",
                             command=lambda: controller.show_frame(new_main_flixgen.StartPage))

        # putting the button in its place by
        # using grid
        button2.grid(row=2, column=1, padx=10, pady=10)

But I want the classes to be in different files

coz I'm planning on having alot of code and it wont all fit
