In MainModule when using add, the classes are not being called and when you do call them they should probably be passed in a parent window. For example General should probably be General(self). The ttk.Frame's need changing to except the parent and pass it to super.

class MainModule(ttk.Notebook):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
 
        self.add(General,text="General")
        self.add(SCF,text="SCF")
        self.add(Optimization,text="Optimization")
        self.add(Thermochemistry,text="Termochemistry")

Edit: self.notebook = main_module.MainModule() MainModule also does not have a parent set

As stated above your __init__'s need to take in a parent and that parent need passing to super

example

class General(ttk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        super().__init__(parent)

like here self.runtype_label = ttk.Label(self,text="Runtype:") there is a Label, self is it parent

yep I said that back there too 😉

Is there a way to use a python dataclass (python 3.8) with tkinter to share data across different classes?

I was thinking I could create a dataclass and inherit that class in my different views to get the data. But that seems to be a horrible way to do it.. since it's not working.

Honestly I'm still grappling with how to best design this app in the first place. Trying to avoid dropping global vars everywhere and was hoping I could just create a couple different dataclasses to inherit from.

https://github.com/MikeCase/mkvhost

Is the repository with the code I'm currently working with. In the GUI directory I have main_screen.py and containers/main_screen_containers.py which are my classes with the different Frames for my main screen.

My dataclass is currently in containers/main_screen_containers.py called ScreenData.

Maybe I'm just using dataclasses entirely wrong but thought I'd drop a question and see if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Is there a way to get a callback whenever something is edited on a lable with editable interaction?

        label = qtw.QLabel(parent)
        label.setText(process.title)
label.setTextInteractionFlags(qtg.Qt.TextEditorInteraction)```

[young sedge]

two ideas come to my mind:

1. to use HTML/CSS for formatting. It certainly supports making stuff for printer.
   So probably you could automate it being autoprinted into pdf format, which is basically a4 size paper.

2. finding library that allows generating pdf/word/rtf or any other a4 related documents from code, and doing it straight from it.

second option could be tricky in available style formatting
while first option is certainly rich in all kind of formatting and often a lot of people know how to format in HTML/CSS, but learning curve can be tricker to people aren't familiar with it

Does anyone know an elegant solution for hiding the typing cursor in a QLineEdit (PyQt5)?

I'm trying to make a "wordle" clone as practice

maybe LineEdit isn't the best solution for the character boxes?

[rocky dragon]

Is it editable directly by the user?

[sleek hollow]

Yes

My current idea is to set them all to read-only mode, and use a custom key event for filling in the text

but that seems excessive

but then again, that's pyqt for ya

[rocky dragon]

Could just use a label that gets set on a key event with mouse focus then

or whenever you need it to accept input

Yeah I guess at that point it doesn't even need to be a LineEdit

hey people,

small question,

so i have a software / app and there is a Child Window and a Parent window
while a new Child window is being opened the Parent window hides by using this code ```python
def hide_main_window():
root.withdraw() # Hides the Parent / Main window
question() # opens child windows

now when the `Child` window closes ( the user presses the `X` button and closes the window ) the `Parent` Window ( which was previously `Hidden` ) should My Shown again?? ( instead of running in the Background / Tray  )???

pls help

        self.widget = QLineEdit()
        self.widget.setAutoFillBackground(True)
        self.widget.palette = self.palette()
        self.widget.palette.setColor(QPalette.Window, QColor('lime'))
        self.widget.palette.setColor(QPalette.Highlight, QColor('lime'))
        self.widget.setPalette(self.widget.palette)```


self here is an instance of a subclass of a QMainWindow object. From what I nerstand, `QPalette.Window` defines the general bg color . However, when the program is run , the background isnt green? It's jsut the usual white?

Code I included is kept short (because I felt the rest of the program wasnt relevant; wanted to keep the message succinct)

[halcyon topaz]

You guys have any list of fonts?

[sharp reef]

What would be the best way to implement text input in curses? I'm aiming for a scrollable single line text input, similar to vim's command entry area?

[rocky dragon]

You'll need the Base role https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6/PySide6/QtGui/QPalette.html#PySide6.QtGui.PySide6.QtGui.QPalette.ColorRole

I think you'll also need to construct a new palette and then give it to the widget instead of trying to change the widget's palette directly; it'll properly inherit for the unset colors

[thorny star]

So if Base controls bg color what does Pallete.Window control?

I went thru the docs and form what little I understood, they had stated Pallete.Window is like a bg color?

[rocky dragon]

Window is the window's background, Base is for some other backgrounds

Used mostly as the background color for text entry widgets, but can also be used for other painting - such as the background of combobox drop down lists and toolbar handles. It is usually white or another light color.

so you want a bit of a contrast between window and base to show that it's interactable

[thorny star]

So why doesnt changing the window color do anything in my case? Is it because text entry widget bg color is controlled by Base?

[rocky dragon]

Yes

if it had some space that wasn't used to enter things then that'd use the window color

[thorny star]

I see

Thank you!

I got it now!

[rocky dragon]

in your case the window color should control what you see around the widget, if you set the palette on an object that'd change it

[thorny star]

So in this case that object would be my MainWindow obj right?

[rocky dragon]

Yeah, or the app directly

[thorny star]

Thank you! This is handy!

So if I wanted to make a theme for the widgets in my app WITHOUT using style sheets, I have to edit the pallete for each and every object I plan to include?

[thorny star]

Also if you dont mind me asking how did you draw those gray lines that border the yellow window on the bottom right?

[rocky dragon]

Well they use the same color roles, you just need to set appropriate colors for all of them

For example I use this https://github.com/Numerlor/Auto_Neutron/blob/ce3d83939ed44e462c7d00ec8bd1cde065fc71a4/auto_neutron/hub.py#L259-L288

[thorny star]

Yes , so I have to do this for each and every widget? For fonts, If I set some font at the applicaiton level , all the child widgets automatically get the app's font. Is there a similar way to do that for colors/pallete?

[eager beacon]

The frame around the text edit or the lines that separate the widget text?

[rocky dragon]

You can set the palette on the app and every widget will use it, or I think setting the palette on a widget will make all its children inherit it but I'm not completely sure there

[thorny star]

these lines

[thorny star]

I see

[rocky dragon]

you can see that I do app.set_palette under the linked code

[eager beacon]

Thats just widgets inside a QToolBox

The colors roles are from QPalette.Light and QPalette.Mid

[thorny star]

yes I caught that

[thorny star]

wai so those grey lines are part of a widget?

or are they widgets themselebs

Also what exactly is a color role? Is it an alternative term for an enum?

[eager beacon]

Those lines are separating a TextWidget, TextEdit and Text Browser

They come from placing the items in a QToolBox.

[eager beacon]

These are the color roles of a QPalette

[thorny star]

I see. Is there anyway to customaize the shape of those lines?>

[eager beacon]

You choose the colors to set on a colorRole, its how you would use a palette.

[eager beacon]

I'm almost 100% sure you can but, I'm not sure how to do it.

I don't think I've ever used a QToolBox before

[thorny star]

but what is a color role exactly? I know what they do and what they are

are they like some attribute?

or one of those enum things?

[hushed zephyr]

I am not a very good programmer and this is my first time using tkinter. I need to create a booking system and i need to let people create an account and login through tkinter using databases. Is there any videos where they do this? I can do it to a read/write file. Thanks.

[eager beacon]

I'm not what you're asking then. They are an enum though.

[thorny star]

I see

[rocky dragon]

The color talk reminded me of an issue I've been trying to solve a couple days back but didn't reach any solution for.
I have a widget that blends text into the background on both of its ends through a gradient, but I don't know how to use proper blending on the transparent parts instead of blending it into a solid color, as the text has to be painted first using the widget's painter. Painting using an image or a QGraphicsOpacityEffect achieve the intended effect, but completely mess up how the text looks.
A partial solution would be some way to figure out the color of the background behind the widget, but would still not be ideal if the background is not uniform

In its current form where I use the window color it mostly works, but is out of place if placed on widgets that don't use a palette color directly

[thorny star]

I have an idea

not sure if its any good

perhaps you overlay a plane that is transparent in the center but slighty opaque at the edges OVER the text?

keep the plane/image color same as the bg

[rocky dragon]

Well that's mostly what I'm doing now with a gradient that goes from the window color to transparency and is overlaid over the text, but not all widgets will use the window background color, or it may be placed over something that's not uniform (e.g. some other widget with a gradient)

and so far everything I've looked at that would fix this, would require using something that messes up with how the text is drawn

[thorny star]

I have a terribly hacky way

[rocky dragon]

Here's the relevant code https://github.com/Numerlor/Auto_Neutron/blob/ce3d83939ed44e462c7d00ec8bd1cde065fc71a4/auto_neutron/windows/gui/plain_text_scroller.py#L159-L198

[thorny star]

jhow about hacking the text rendering s code such that you get to change the color of the text rendered per character?

Characetrs at the edges get a transparent color, stuff in the middle get opaque colors

but yes like you mentioned, its super hacky

hmmm

I do have another idea

How about using something like PIL to take bitmap images of letters, color them into the colors you want on the fly and stick them one by one as images in ur widget?

although the performance implications for that...

[rocky dragon]

Well the characters could be prerendered I guess, but that would still not use the native text rendered that the user is used to and is used everywhere else in the app

windows has to expose something for it that I probably could use to draw into an image but I'm really not going to dive into that

[thorny star]

ye I believe that would be the only way to eke out fonts the users use

wait ummm

how about this

have the text the users type be rendered onto an image with a transparent bg. Multiply that image with a gradient and paste that back in as an image?

I think PIL let you type text onto images?

although idk if you can choose any fonts you want]

[rocky dragon]

The font is not really the issue, but using the proper subpixel rendering method that the user chose when configuring their ClearType

Using normal b/w antialiasing makes the text appear less sharp, and even if PIL has direct tools for it, I'd need to hook into the win api to figure out the settings

and well any rotation would completely mess that its looks when not using the native font engine

[eager beacon]

Do you have a stylesheet on the widget to override the palette or something?

[rocky dragon]

No, some just don't use a color directly but a darker/lighter variant from one of the colors that are set

then if I place my widget over that, it'll blend into the window color which is different

[sturdy wren]

I don't know if this is the right channel to ask this question but as a former heavy Excel user learning python with the primary goal of pandas expertise, has anyone played around with Mito?

[hollow wadi]

Heard it from talkpython.fm it looked pretty awesome

[sturdy wren]

Its cool, it is a great learning tool for newbies like me but no regression analysis function

I asked about it on their discord

but I suppose pandas doesnt have an "in package" regression tool, that could be the reason, but numpy and scipy does

even simple linear

I heard about it today on "talk python to me"

I was talking about Pandas when I said : "but I suppose pandas doesnt have an "in package" regression tool, "

[mellow shore]

This probably doesnt belong in this channel but its the only channel I can think with this question:

How do I access a GUI in a system that doesn't support GUIs? For example if I am SSHing into an ubuntu server that has a fresh nodejs server running with nothing installed, but I would normally be able to just type in localhost:3000 into a browser

[hollow wadi]

Yeah that's the same channel as talkpython.fm 🙂

[sturdy wren]

😛 apparently I suscribed to the same podcast twice

Wonder why they are shown as 2 seperate casts

[hollow wadi]

Talk Python has ways to access 'no-add' version called pro-edition. This is provided as a private rss-feeds to only who have purchased everything bundle from the training site in talk python. Maybe Michael, the host of the podcast, have done sth that could make duplicate instances of the feeds

[sturdy wren]

ahhhh. gotcha. I am using podcast addict and that might not show everything the same as itunes or w/w

[young sedge]

if you are in windows, then Putty program allows to connect via ssh
while in settings turning on port forwarding feature in Connection -> SSH -> Tunnelling?, that will transfer server requested things at certain ports to your localhost, when SSH connection is established.

It is possible to install putty at linux too.

Btw, it is possible to access even VSCode gui at the server, VSCode allows ssh remote connections

[sturdy wren]

Also! Trying to get JupyterLab Desktop working (same ep)

[hollow wadi]

I gave up on that idea. It simply does not work. Well it kinda works well if you have a server & web setup, but not in desktop GUI frameworks. One time TKinter asked me for GTK when I was ssh-developing from Windows to Raspbian. During my search I found out that there is a way to transfer to a client side framework but I dared not to try it

[sturdy wren]

Im a newb and cant seem to get it working

[mellow shore]

I’m confused, this only helps me connect to the instance when I’m already connected, but doesn’t let me open any GUI (say, localhost:3000) remotely. Am I missing something?

[young sedge]

you are supposed to install Putty only at your client, not at server

and from Putty to make ssh connection with tunnelling turned on

[mellow shore]

Hmm I see

How would seeing localhost work through putty? Normally I’d open a web browser and type in localhost

But wouldn’t I have to type in the SSH’d instance’s IP? Wouldn’t the instance need to be able to serve from non local host?

[young sedge]

U can make port forwarding

you write at which localhost:PORT you wish to access the thing through the server, which would connect to DOMAIN:PORT at your behalf, when you access your localhost:PORT

[mellow shore]

Ahh.. this is totally unknown waters, so I appreciate your patience with me. I’ll give this a try

[young sedge]

Obviously when you establish connection to your server, you need to point its domain or ip, and port for ssh

basically only those two tabs are required

Session and Tunnels

[mellow shore]

So port forwarding here allows me to basically tell putty “ localhost at this port maps to my client’s address here”

[young sedge]

localhost of the client at this port maps to my server target's address here, in order to use server as a proxy for the client
(you could be pointing not just internal, but external ip addresses too, so u could connect to google on behalf of the server as example)

but you are basically needing to point localhost, to connect to server localhost on his behalf

localhost:YOUR_PORT => localhost:SERVER_PORT

[mellow shore]

Sweet! Thanks so much, I’ll give it a try. I didn’t think it would be this easy; a quick google talked about reverse proxies and stuff

[young sedge]

u a welcome.

just a tip, for debugging purposes you can always verify that your server has the thing running where you wish with curl installed to linux server

curl http://localhost:3000

if it shows something in the console not of the connection refused type , then your thing is working at the server
I mention it because sometimes additional troubles can be in the way, it helps to verify things in addition.

obviously port forwarding is working, only while SSH connection is established / putty is opened 😉 Once you close it, forwarding is canceled.

[mellow shore]

Turns out I got way ahead of myself, I don't know how to install jenkins from docker yet so I can't test the above yet, oops.

[mellow shore]

Forgive my ignorance. In this screen I put source port as 8089 (I'm sure it can be anything that's not used right?)
And I put destination as <IP-of-host>:8080 (trying to access jenkins auth page from client)

My question is, shouldn't I be entering through localhost:8089 to access localhost:8080 of the host then? Since the mapping says L8089 => <IP-of-host>:8080?

[young sedge]

sure, anything that is not used.
except that you can possibly be having a bit harder time for ports in a 0-2999 range perhaps? Not sure for sure.

at least linux is not allowing binding to ports 80/443 unless root

hey anyone I have a question:
which one looks better?

• The one with the rainbow is the old one
• The other is a mock-up made in qt-designer
  This is for the CMPDL project: https://github.com/Advik-B/CMPDL

In pyqt5 how do you get a item from a tree with a double click?

[wet cave]

I like the new one

the one with out the rainbow

[topaz depot]

ok thx for the feedback 🙃

[tawdry mulch]

how did u get the rainbow

[rocky dragon]

If it's a QTreeWidget there's a itemDoubleClicked signal, otherwise hook into the mouseDoubleClick event and get the appropriate item from event's coords

Hey @topaz depot!

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

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

it is NOT an exe it is an sxie. a file image formater for sharex

[tawdry mulch]

How is that helpful

[topaz depot]

if you have sharex then download it and click on open with sharex

Changing the format

[topaz depot]

just download it then

dont rename it

[tawdry mulch]

I do not have sharex

why don't you share the file directly?

[topaz depot]

you cant

unless u have sharex

u can download it from microsoft store

[tawdry mulch]

Can you explain in words, how you made the rainbow?

[topaz depot]

I downloaded this file and double-click on it

it is from @oblique isle

he is my friend

[tawdry mulch]

so there is no code for it?

[topaz depot]

the file is in json format

so yea

that is the source code

[tawdry mulch]

Mmmmm

[topaz depot]

just download it and rename it to .json or .txt

it is more like a plugin for sharex

[tawdry mulch]

i dont understand, do you know what your telling? You showed a window but what you gave is just a rainbow picture, is this a GUI that can be coded?

[topaz depot]

no

that rainbow part is NOT the gui

[tawdry mulch]

then why is it in the screenshot of the GUI

[topaz depot]

it is extra effects because of sharex

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmhmm

Thanks anyway

[topaz depot]

I am really sorry. I got you confused thinking that it is a part of the GUI

[tawdry mulch]

No probs, I was just curious, looks fancy

[topaz depot]

if only i could manage that

I do my work in one file of a large directory and it turned out python was inspecting all the project files/sub-directories. It took forever for PyCharm to catch errors in my code (if it ever did!) and a very long time to update after each change I made. It was like I was writing in notepad for the past year.

[fresh gulch]

The name is user interfaces

which is UI

So

[digital rose]

Cool! Can you recommend good resources which cover basis for a newbie ui/ux designer?

[fresh gulch]

Are you wanting to design websites

[digital rose]

Well I don't know rn cause I am just starting out but would love to go with website.

[fresh gulch]

Then learn HTML and CSSS

CSS*

That is the core of all websites

[digital rose]

And for app??

[fresh gulch]

Still need it

unless you are creating a C# app with XAML

[hasty sable]

UI UX designers design the application i don't think they write code

Ig they are the one who use figma xd sketch....

[fresh gulch]

yea you can do those too for when you want to simulate a design

But you will prolly eventually have to code it

[hasty sable]

But that's not what a ui ux designer do 👀

[digital rose]

That was what I was wondering.
I heard that they are not responsible for coding part .
Its optional and plus if they wanna upskill themselves they can do coding part also

[digital rose]

Are you UI ux designer?

[digital rose]

what framework did you use for that

[hasty sable]

No I'm not but in past i have done some UI designing using figma

[hasty sable]

Tkinter but you should learn pyqt or dearpygui

[hasty sable]

Three things that i struggle in UI are font family (CSS was my 2nd language 👀) , Color and whitespace... I think most newcomer find these 3 difficult

[digital rose]

Oh!! Nice.
What course did you take at first to clear out your basic of ui ux?

[hasty sable]

i didnt took any course it was mostly some article from uxdesign.cc

my way of doing practice was simple try to replicate the designs from dribbble

Hi

I have a quick question

is kivy (the python module) still used for app development?

Thanks!

[nova berry]

I'm trying to make a super simple GUI for a program i have, so far, it needs a button and float input (so super basic) but wish to expand upon it to add pictures or even better, transparent to overlay on another window. what lib would be best for me? I've been using some pyqt5 but it feels like it was lazy hacked together and doesn't feel pythonic with the limited time with it. I could just power my way through pyqt5 but i want to hear if there are better options for me.

[pine island]

Hi Guys

This is My GUI app Which i have made

[flat ermine]

[digital rose]

Hey! Any UI ux designer here?
If yes,can you lay down what are basics one need to master for ui?

[fresh gulch]

Not many basics, just be creative with your designs. There are some rules you should follow though. You can use Figma or Adobe XD to create some ideas for designs

[digital rose]

Like typography , color fonts n all?

[fresh gulch]

don’t over complicate colors

you already have black and white

[digital rose]

Do you know any specific video which can clear out the basics?

[fresh gulch]

you just need one more after that

[boreal pier]

Kivy, it takes time to get used to kivy Lang but it feels much more refined UI building-wise

[surreal pond]

hello community, anyone expert in wxpython? I need help with an issue.

[lime monolith]

Don't wait for an expert, just ask your question and if someone can help they will.

[surreal pond]

I made a tool using wxpython, consisting of registering people in a database (sqlite), so far, well, when I query the data, I get them in sqlite3, store the data in a variable and play the data in a wx.listctrl(). When I do this the first time, everything works fine, the second time onwards it's the problem, the new data is replaced by the old ones when I try to select one of them, as if the first data I consulted is not erased, overwriting the data of the next queries . how do i solve this?

[lime monolith]

Can you post the smallest possible sample code that shows the issue you are having, no sqlite3 code is necessary just hard code some data. so just a frame, panel with a listctrl, that initially inserts a few rows and then a button to change the data in the way that you are doing it in your main code.

[tall peak]

So I have a small question I can't figure out. Basically I have a QStackedWidget in a window in PyQt and I want to have a few pages which is all fine up until the point I want to have each page for the stacked widget separate. I thought creating a new file in qt designer with the QWidget template would be enough but that is by default a form and cant be added to the stacked widget after the fact. What am I missing here, how would I separate the files in a good manner to use?

Basically I want to have each page of a QStackedWidget in separate files.

[stark inlet]

I never touched any GUI on Python before
Wich would be a good lib to start

[tall peak]

I have some experience with PyQt and Id say its quite good for simple stuff especially with the qt designer it allows you to design apps in UI and not hardcode them from the getgo but I dunno about the other ones

[surreal pond]

def buscar(self,event):
self.dados_consulta_individual_states.clear()
self.Refresh()

                          style=wx.LC_REPORT, pos=(120, 160), size=(400, 350))

   
    self.lc.RefreshItems(0,1000)

    
    connection = sqlite3.connect("membs.s3db")
    cur = connection.cursor()
    Onome = self.onome.GetValue()

    #procurar pelo primeiro nome
    sql="SELECT nome,situacao,cidade FROM membrosIgreja WHERE nome LIKE '" + Onome +"%' ORDER BY nome"

    cur.execute (sql)

    result = cur.fetchall()

    cur.close()
    connection.close()

#---------------------result-----------------

    #states = list(result)

    self.dados_consulta_individual_states = list(result)
    #print self.states

    print(self.dados_consulta_individual_states)


    # select an item (left mouse click on it) and bind to a method
    self.lc.Bind(wx.EVT_LIST_ITEM_SELECTED,self.onSelect)

    # create and load the columns with header titles, set width
    self.lc.InsertColumn(0,"Nome")
    self.lc.SetColumnWidth(0, 140)
    self.lc.InsertColumn(1,"Situação")
    self.lc.SetColumnWidth(1, 120)
    self.lc.InsertColumn(2,"Cidade")
    self.lc.SetColumnWidth(2, 130)



    # load the rest of the list with data
    self.loadList()

    self.lc.update()

I already tried to clear the variable that stores the data, I tried to clear the wxlistctrl and nothing came of it.

Can someone explain to me how exactly masking with QRegion() works in PyQT5?

class RoundedLineEdit(QLineEdit):
    def paintEvent(self, event):
        super().paintEvent(event)
        roundCorner = QRegion(100,120,90,30).intersected(QRegion(120,140,100,50))
        painter = QPainter(self)
        painter.setClipRegion(roundCorner)
        painter.begin(self)
        painter.end()```

This is what I have on hand. Intention is to create a rounded rectangle and intersect that with whatever rectangle `lineEdit` draws on, so that I can draw `lineEdits` with rounded borders. I am not exactly sure how to get my own custom QPainter implementation working though

The rest of the handling of paintEvent should mimic that of `QLineEdit`, I just want the QRegion to be a rounded rectangle. How do I get it right?

Note: I know roundCorner isnt really a rounded rectangle, I just wanted to test out QRegion masking for the time being

For the time being, this error is spat out evertime : QPainter::begin: Painter already active

No idea why it occurs

I want to develop an interactive dashboard using bokeh and flask.
Here is what the interface would somewhat look like:

I wanted to do the following with this interface:

1. I have received a data from the user, from the previous page. The data will be processed on server side based on an algorithm, and plots are going to be generated.
2. I have that algorithm loop running on server side, and the plot corresponding to say iteration 1 is shown
   first on this interface. The loop should pause and proceed for iteration 2 only when I click next.
3. Also, say I keep clicking next and I reach iteration 5, I now want to go back to iteration 3, I must be able to do so using the back button
   shown above.
   (Note: At each iteration, new plots will be shown based on calculation done on server side)

My question is how do I go about developing this sort of an interactive interface?.
I am a beginner in flask/bokeh. On top of it I have no knowledge of web technologies like JS, AJAX etc.
Are there some good learning resources like courses/books so that I learn about how to construct these
kind of interactive interfaces? Coz I am unable to find a solution for this currently.

I have the same question, what do you mean by clarity?

the tkinter window resolution?

[mortal marten]

so i have 3 table widgets and i want to change the color of them once they lose focus, like when you click on one other two will change color of the selected row to indicate that they aren't focused rn, also if you click on a completely different widget all 3 table widgets will change color, but will change it again when they are clicked on to indicate that they are in focus. is there any way to achieve this which is fast so there's not a delay between click and color change... i tried doing it with signals and mousePressEvents but it still has some hick-ups, for example it changes the stylesheets regardless if the widget already has focus (every time it's pressed)... i tried implementing focusInEvent and focusOutEvent but it doesn't seem to work properly...

@subtle wing you can use root.tk.call('tk', 'scaling', 2.0) as well

specifying the library you're using could be helpful

[mortal marten]

pyqt6

[small vault]

ok

[shy torrent]

In PySide6, if I want to have an QComboBox with the possibility to also search via text completions,
What do I have to do to have the selected Item text actually show up in the box ?

Also: The completer activated signal does not seem to send out any useful data, it is always empty text and when querying the completer for the current index it is the default negative index.

Code:

class AntistasiFunctionSelectComboBox(QComboBox):

    def __init__(self, parent = None) -> None:
        super().__init__(parent)

        self.setEditable(True)
        self.setFocusPolicy(Qt.ClickFocus)
        self.setInsertPolicy(QComboBox.NoInsert)
        self.pFilterModel = QSortFilterProxyModel(self)
        self.pFilterModel.setFilterCaseSensitivity(Qt.CaseInsensitive)
        self.pFilterModel.setSourceModel(self.model())
        self._completer = QCompleter(self.pFilterModel, self)

        self._completer.setCompletionMode(QCompleter.UnfilteredPopupCompletion)
        self.setCompleter(self._completer)
        self.lineEdit().textEdited.connect(self.pFilterModel.setFilterFixedString)
        self.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.on_index_change)

    def on_index_change(self, *args):
        self.setEditText(self.itemData(self.currentIndex(), Qt.DisplayRole))

    def setModel(self, model):
        super().setModel(model)
        self.pFilterModel.setSourceModel(model)
        self._completer.setModel(self.pFilterModel)

    def setModelColumn(self, column):
        self._completer.setCompletionColumn(column)
        self.pFilterModel.setFilterKeyColumn(column)
        super().setModelColumn(column)

In the on_index_changed, I tried self.setCurrentText, self.lineEdit().setText(), only thing that somehow works is self.lineEdit().setPlaceholderText(), this tells me the lineedit immediately looks for new input. How can I change it so that the lineedit only kicks in when the widget is actually selected?

please reply with ping

Extra: I also tried doing nothing with signals and letting the internal Qcombox handle the completer, nothing really changed(not sure), which gives m the fear something internal could be overwriting my attempts, but I cant seem to find out from the Docs.

Also: If I start writing text and then select an completion, even the text I have already written gets cleared.

Python: 3.10.1
Pyside6: 6.2.2.1

is there any way i can make tkinter less "windows 95" like? btw pyqt5 isn't an option because i want to make my app windows compatible

[rocky dragon]

Yes, you can style tkinter apps, though I don't see how using Qt would make your app incompatible with windows

[small vault]

Using ttk widgets, also styling them with ttk.Style()

[median ridge]

qt should be compatible with linux windows and macos

[lone olive]

I am making a currency converter using tkinter, and I want to place those labels("from:" and "to:") next to the dropdown menus. All widgets are placed using pack(). Rest of the design needs to remain the same, only the labels need to move. Any idea on how to do that?

[wraith plover]

Instead of using .pack()

You can use .place(y=,x= )

And just set the coordinates

how to change tkinter entry state after clicking checkbox?

[lone olive]

I tried that and it worked, but the problem arises as soon as I try to resize the window

[tawdry mulch]

use grid

[lone olive]

Frame was placed using place(), so using grid throws an error, is there a way to work around it?

[tawdry mulch]

no, place can be mixed with grid and pack

[tawdry mulch]

entry.config(state='disabled')

[drifting palm]

This is my code
and the problem is
whenever i click the tkinter button
it stops responding

https://gist.github.com/0168bb0ff805ec56219a9f29d0d77546

[small vault]

Don't mix grid with pack(), I suggest to just use grid(). Also if all those widgets are in the frame all you have to do is to use column and row to place widgets next to each other. Or just take them out the frame and use .place(), but if you move the frame those widgets won't move with it.

[small vault]

is your app freezing once you click the button? maybe you need to run the iteration in a separate thread

[drifting palm]

ok i did that

[astral skiff]

Hello, I'm a newbie here, what is the simplest framework to build an interface would you recommend me to study?

[small vault]

Tkinter

I'm a bit bias since Tkinter is all I use, but you can also look into https://pysimplegui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[astral skiff]

its only code? or have some place to draw the interface?

[small vault]

It's only code, but if you're looking into drag and drop than you can look into PyQt, but that's a bit more complex

[astral skiff]

I see, it is a standard python library

Yeah

I wanna make a radius X around a point A ( point location will be given) and another circle on point B and find the unison between them. and shade the in-between.
What would be my best bet?

[mortal marten]

so i'm using pyqt and i have 3 table widgets and i want to change the color of them once they lose focus, like when you click on one, the other two will change color of the selected row to indicate that they aren't focused rn, also if you click on a completely different widget all 3 table widgets will change color, but will change it again when they are clicked on to indicate that they are in focus. is there any way to achieve this which is fast so there's not a delay between click and color change... i tried doing it with signals and mousePressEvents but it still has some hick ups, for example it changes the stylesheets regardless if the widget already has focus (every time it's pressed)... i tried implementing focusInEvent and focusOutEvent but it doesn't seem to work properly... does anyone have any idea how to make it instantaneous?

[mortal marten]

the lag between click and stylesheet change is especially visible when tables have a lot of items (around 300) and when those items are custom (custom labels)

i'd really appreciate some help

[wraith plover]

Why do i get errors when trying to install PyQt5

?

[mortal marten]

so i am getting elements from pyqt table widget, and its expected to be widget, but i made a subclass of a widget which has custom methods, but pycharm thinks its an error beacuse it thinks it got a QWidget and not my subclass

self.table_widget.cellWidget(i, 1).set_transparent()

where set_transparent() is custom method

and pycharm underlines it

is there any way to type hint that so that it doesn't think its an error or should i just ignore it

[rocky dragon]

you can cast the call to your class

!d typing.cast

[proven basin]

typing.cast

typing.cast(typ, val)```
Cast a value to a type.

This returns the value unchanged. To the type checker this signals that the return value has the designated type, but at runtime we intentionally don’t check anything (we want this to be as fast as possible).

[mortal marten]

thanks! it worked perfectly :D

[thorny star]

What is the general consensus on the declaration of widgets within classes in PyQT? Is it better to declare them within the init() function as instance variables, or to declare them in init() as method variables?

as in

class Window:
  def __init__(self):
    self.widget1 = QWidget()
    self.widget2 = QSlider()
    layout.addWidget(self.widget1)
    layout.addWidget(self.widget2)```

as opposed to 

```py
class Window:
  def __init__(self):
    widget1 =  QWidget()
    widget2 = QSlider()
    layout.addWidget(widget1)
    layout.addWidget(widget2)```

just pretend layout was defined there 😅

[barren tide]

Hi! I'm trying to get into Qt licences.. There is a paid commercial licence, and there is also a LGPL for PySide. Is it true that I can use PYSide6 for a commercial desktop app for free without opening source files?
If so, It says there is almost no difference. So why anyone may want to use PyQt?

[rocky dragon]

it's older, and I think the development was more stagnant for a while

[still kelp]

guys how would i make a tkinter button add 1 to some var?

[rocky dragon]

you can use pyside in proprietary apps, but the users of the app should be change the lgpl'd dlls your app is using with their own

[barren tide]

Not exactly understand what you mean.. They should be able to change Qt libs for my app when it is already an executable?

[rocky dragon]

Yes, so if you import pyside, they should be able to change that pyside for their own version (and same for the Qt dlls)

you either distirbute it under lgpl as OSS, or

Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked Version.

[barren tide]

Not sure how to make it properly.. The only idea I have is to load pyside lib dynamically, so you can swap it. And everything else is converted to an exe file..

[rocky dragon]

don't distribute everything packed into a single file the user can't unpack themselves, but for example do a zip where they can change out the dlls and the (compiled) python code

or I guess you could provide some way to build the app against a different pyside, but I assume you'd want to do that without distributing your source too

[barren tide]

Pretty weird license.. But I guess there is no choise.. I've tried to use tkinter, but it's functionality is pretty basic.

[thorny star]

anyone knows?

Im not sure if the practices im using are making my code messy

[eager beacon]

In your code, does the Window class does inherit QObject/QWidget?

You mostly go with the first version

The only time you shouldn't is when the widgets/layouts are inserted into a layout that is the layout for self.someWidget

You'd have a hard time using signals/slots and accessing the widgets created in the second version. So unless they are static, go with version 1

[thorny star]

yes it does

i suppose we oculd assume it inherits QMainWindow

[thorny star]

I see

thank you!

[thorny star]

wdu mean

so if i have a layout, widgets that I plan to add to tht layout shouldnt be attributes of Window?

[eager beacon]

Yeah sorry, that wasn't super clear.

If you have a container widget that is self.container, and in the container you have 2 static widgets(that you don't need to access for any reason) then its okay if you choose not to create them using self.

just ask yourself if you will ever need to access the widget after its created for any reason. If the answer is yes, use self. If you wont, then either way is fine.

There are some cases where this isn't possible though. Like if you are creating 10 widgets in a for loop that you need to be able to access.

If you run into that situation, store them in some instance level container and access them from there.

[thorny star]

i see

thank you, i got it now!

[vocal bone]

Hi, I am working on a CLI application which takes some commands as input. Is there any way I can scroll through those commands using the Arrow Up and Arrow Down Key?

[tribal path]

depending on the terminal/framework if any there may be a history you can scroll through, if not you'd need to maintain one yourself

[vocal bone]

Yes, I am maintaining one myself. But how to scroll?

[tribal path]

could store in a deque and rotate?

!d collections.deque

[proven basin]

collections.deque

class collections.deque([iterable[, maxlen]])```
Returns a new deque object initialized left-to-right (using [`append()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#collections.deque.append "collections.deque.append")) with data from *iterable*. If *iterable* is not specified, the new deque is empty.

Deques are a generalization of stacks and queues (the name is pronounced “deck” and is short for “double-ended queue”). Deques support thread-safe, memory efficient appends and pops from either side of the deque with approximately the same O(1) performance in either direction.

Though [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "list") objects support similar operations, they are optimized for fast fixed-length operations and incur O(n) memory movement costs for `pop(0)` and `insert(0, v)` operations which change both the size and position of the underlying data representation.

[marsh talon]

[ember tulip]

I have an idea, maybe upon clicking the button put a code thay could clear the window and substitute it with the page(window) you want, i use this approach in my projects...

Hi everyone, I am currently making a python project with tkinter, and I was wondering if I can link a Scrollbar to a frame widget (I looked on internet there was no mention of this...). I expect it to look like this:

import tkinter as tk
fen = tk.Tk()

f = tk.Frame(fen)
f.pack(side = "left")

s = tk.Scrollbar(fen)
s.pack(side = "right")

for i in range(1, 100):
  #create a line with a label and eventually several buttons 
  #in the the frame I named f

#and here is my question, what do I need to do to 
#link the scroll bar to my frame with all the buttons

fen.mainloop()

[unique forge]

have you got help?

[naive monolith]

nope

[unique forge]

So to have multiple pages you must use QStackedWidget

[naive monolith]

ok so that is the best way?

[unique forge]

yes

[naive monolith]

i have this at the top

how can I get rid of this

[unique forge]

yeah that disappears once you finish designing

it only shows in QtDesigner so you can switch pages easily

[naive monolith]

ahh i see makes sense

[unique forge]

once it is a python file it will not be there

[naive monolith]

ok

one more question

once i convert it to code it isnt in a format where i can run it directly right?

do I have to add something?

cause when i ran it nothing happend

def window():
    app = QApplication( sys.argv )
    win = myWindow()
    win.show()
    sys.exit( app.exec_() )

window()

they did this in a tutorial i was watching but qt comes without this

so ig i have to modify the code slightly?

[unique forge]

what tutorial are you using?

That is incorrect

[naive monolith]

oh

its a mix and match of video and docs

tech with tim

[unique forge]

it's better to use if name == 'main'

instead of having a separate function

[naive monolith]

ok

[unique forge]

let me send the correct code

if __name__ == '__main__':
 app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv) appctxt = ApplicationContext() MyWindow = MainWindow() MyWindow.show() sys.exit(appctxt.app.exec_())

@naive monolith I'm on a phone right now so this is formatted incorrectly but that's the code

[naive monolith]

ahh np

[unique forge]

make sure to change the variables to fit your code

[mortal marten]

pyqt

[spark tinsel]

Hello, which version of pyqt should I use? 5 or 6 or it doesn't matter?

[copper mirage]

anyone know if its possible to have a holographic looking display with tkinter

[ripe shuttle]

I dont think so.it would allow you to set the state of the button.

[ripe shuttle]

What do you mean?

[ripe shuttle]

You could always couple it with ttk and create your own styles

[copper mirage]

Something like this where the light of each item can reflect onto each other

[prisma citrus]

So how to see if a checkbox is ticked or not?

[ripe shuttle]

I highly doubt it

[ripe shuttle]

https://anzeljg.github.io/rin2/book2/2405/docs/tkinter/ttk-Checkbutton.html

You have to look at the 'variable' portion of it

[copper mirage]

is tkinter the best for just a more basic UI then?

[prisma citrus]

Ah okay thanks

[ripe shuttle]

yes

But you can do more complicated stuff as well

If you are willing to make custom widgets then you might be able to achieve the holographic look you want

[prisma citrus]

So is it necessary to assign it to a var? Can't I normally do state = button.variable or smth?

[ripe shuttle]

It depends on what you want to achieve. You might also be able to make do with using the command option

[prisma citrus]

Well, I want to make a check box which, is like sort of an accept ToS thing. I want to move forward only if the box is checked... I have everything else setup and working, just the check isn't working

[ripe shuttle]

Also if you scroll down then you can see this for state:
In ttk, there is no option with this name. The state mechanism has been generalized; see Section 50.2, “ttk style maps: dynamic appearance changes”.

[prisma citrus]

Okay... I was just using ttk since I can use the same style in every component (sorry, it's been an year since I have used tkinter)

[ripe shuttle]

I think it might work if you assign it to an tk.IntVar() which would probably change between 0 for off and 1 for on

[prisma citrus]

Well I set the on and off value to True and False respectively

[mortal marten]

you have a lot more examples in qt5 and it would be easier to start, qt6 is not complete yet and there are still some parts of it that will have to be updated from qt5

[rocky dragon]

There aren't that many differences that examples wouldn't work between the two most of the time, and while I'm not sure if module parity is there yet, most modules are usable now

For something new I don't see that much of a reason to not use Qt6, you'll need to move to it in a bit anyway

[bitter echo]

is there any "wysiwyg" way to create gui for python app?

[unkempt jewel]

import tkinter as tk

class DatabaseApp(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

class DatabaseApp(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()```
What is the difference between these 2 ways to create an app class and which is the good one ?

[spark tinsel]

Qt creator or designer.

[dusky socket]

They're both calling the __init__ method of the tkinter library, so they should result in the same outcome. However IMO, the second one makes more sense. The DatabaseApp class is inheriting the methods within tkinter, and thus you can just use super() to call __init__ without having to directly specify the parent class.

[unkempt jewel]

@dusky socket okay thanks !

How can i use while loop in tkinter?

[thorny star]

Ive gone through the docs multiple times along with many SE threads. Having some trouble with shortcuts in pyqt5.

Are shortcut events essentially keyPressEvents?
Ive set te shortcut context to allow for the shortcut work application wide, except nothing really comes of it.... I figured it might be due to the widget I have fo\cused handling the event on its own. Do widgets implement a special handler for shortcut events or are they handled inside keypressEvent?

        print(event, values)

    img_window.close()

this should create a graph on my window and draw an image over it, but it doesn't

it just is a blank screen with the graph on it

and there aren't any errors that would indicate im doing something wrong

Okay so I think I need some help with tkinter

Or logic help?

    name_var = name.get()

    address_var = address.get()
    amount_var = int(amount.get())
    time_var = int(time.get())
    tos_accepted = tos.instate(['selected'])
    print(tos_accepted)
    client_id = "".join(choices(ALL_LETTERS, k=20))
    if (
        not name_var
        and not age_var
        and not number_var
        and not address_var
        and not amount_var
        and not time_var
        and not tos_accepted

What are trying to do here?

[ripe shuttle]

Sorry, I don't know anything about pyqt

So I got a few entry components (those all are, except the tos one, which is a check button), and I am just trying it to return (not process) further if any of those is empty or smth

I have encountered a problem, I can't figure out how to add another option with a button.
I'd like to create as many disease as the USER want. This is what the interface look like. Any help is appreciated. This is python, tkinter. My add disease button is not working (I can add only one disease + I can't 'remember' my output disease)

class InsertSubjectDiseasePage(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        
        self.disease_label = ttk.Label(self, text='Disease', font=NORM_FONT) 
        self.output_disease = ttk.Label(self, text='', font=NORM_FONT)
        self.disease_var = tk.StringVar()
        self.disease_var.set('')

        self.disease_label.grid(row=7, column=0, pady=10, padx=10, sticky='e')
        self.output_disease.grid(row=7, column=5, pady=10, padx=10, sticky='e')

        #show entry
        self.disease_drop = ttk.OptionMenu(self, self.disease_var, *DISEASE, command=self.option_disease)
        self.disease_drop.grid(row=7, column=1, columnspan=2, pady=10, padx=10, ipadx=50

        self.more_disease = ttk.Button(self, text='Add disease', command=self.add_disease)
        self.more_disease.grid(row=20, column=0, padx=20, pady=20, sticky='sw')

    def option_disease(self, *args):
        self.output_disease['text'] = f'You selected: {self.disease_var.get()}'

    def add_disease(self):
        self.disease_label = ttk.Label(self, text='Disease', font=NORM_FONT)
        self.output_disease = ttk.Label(self, text='', font=NORM_FONT)
        self.disease_var = tk.StringVar()
        self.disease_var.set('')
        self.disease_drop = ttk.OptionMenu(self, self.disease_var, *DISEASE, command=self.option_disease)

        self.disease_drop.grid(row=9, column=1, columnspan=2, pady=10, padx=10, ipadx=50)

[gilded sable]

@unkempt jewel aren't you overwriting the disease each time?

Unless there is a new instance of that class for each entry

I need a hand too.
I want to use non modifier hotkeys for my tkinter program, but I want to disable them whenever a text entry is active.
However, it seems that when I bind them to my program, the text entry is the thing firing the event anyway

[unkempt jewel]

@gilded sable indeed they are in the same class

I should create a nested add_disease function ? like add_disease1, add_disease2 etc... so it doesn't overwrite ?

[gilded sable]

Yes

You need something to hold the instances.

I am trying to create a user interface(UI) using bokeh and flask such that the UI front-end has plots that will be rendered dynamically and data will also be shown dynamically, based on the start/stop/back button provided in the UI (basically, its an optimization algorithm that I want to pause and play during its each iteration run, and the intermediate plots and solutions are to be rendered on the web). Is there a way to achieve this using flask and bokeh? Also, since I want a back and forth type of interactivity, what sort of database would be suitable for storing user data such that when the back button is clicked by the user, previous plot and data should be rendered.

Hey guys! Where can i learn the pktinker module in python??

I need to make gui for my project

[unique forge]

I wouldn't use that module

PyQt is better

and easier

[latent hatch]

I know python basics only

I have a project in which i have to make a basic GUI

Would you still recommend PyQt? If yes where can i learn? Thanks

[unique forge]

If you only know basic python why is your project to make a UI

[latent hatch]

Can’t argue with school 😂😭😭

[unique forge]

Has your teacher forced you to use Pktinker?

[latent hatch]

No

We can do anything as long as i can answer qs based on it

[unique forge]

with PyQt you can use Qt Designer

which is a drag and drop ui creation software

[latent hatch]

Wow!! That would be easier ig

[unique forge]

yep

[latent hatch]

Where can I learn this tho?

The whole module and stuff

[unique forge]

search for tutorials

[latent hatch]

Youtube?

I am a PyQT newbie and trying to make a GUI that runs some pre-existing scripts I have.
Setup: scripts in conda env A and PyQt in conda env B.

Right now I am doing something like:

self.p = QProcess()
...
self.p.start("python", 
    ['../dir/script.py', 'arg1', 'arg2'])

That snippet gets executed in env B, where PyQT is, but apparently it is missing some libraries of env A, when executed. Is there a way to activate env A, inside the QProcess, or what are the alternatives?

I'm generating a dynamic grid of buttons in tkinter. It's based on subdirectories in a directory, each subdirectory gets a button.
Since there can be quite a large number, I've got a pretty fingerpaint-tier way of just putting them into columns with tk grid. But I'm wondering if there's a better way to dynamically arrange a grid of buttons.

Especially since the window can be resized and I want it to nicely fit in there.

[gilded sable]

I guess I want vertical wrap.

[ripe shuttle]

You could always put the buttons in a separate frame and pack the buttons into it. That is what I prefer doing 😂

[gilded sable]

@ripe shuttle will that give me columns when nessecary?

5 boxes are lined up left to right at the top of the screen, and submit button is under boxes

Is it normal for QMenuBars to draw over other widgetsin PyQT5 like this?. The vertical widget to which the power button belongs to is a vertically oriented toolbar. The rectangular widget is a QTextEdit

[kindred mist]

I read a lot on Google etc. But I don't understand it right. If I plan to sell my application made with pyqt I have to buy a license from qt for 180 per month and a commercial license from pyqt for 550? That's around 2700 in the first year. Is that correct. Pls prove me wrong

[unique forge]

No that's incorrect

that's for Qt Commerical

PyQt is completely free to use and to publish and sell

is allowed

@kindred mist

[rocky dragon]

It'll have to be OSS through GPL though

[kindred mist]

Why have pyqt then a commercial licence?

[rocky dragon]

For proprietary software

you can sell what you made with gpl as the open source software, but anyone who buys it can redistribute it however they want as long as the license is followed

pyside is under lgpl for a more permissive license

[kindred mist]

So if I sell my software I have to deliver the whole source code with it, then I can use it for free

And if I sell my software without source code I need both commercials?

[rocky dragon]

you would need it with pyqt

if you used pyside you'd only need the commercial license under certain circumstances, otherwise if you follow what the license says you can incorporate it in proprietary software

[unique forge]

Yeah you probably were looking at Qt for C++ or PySide licenses

[kindred mist]

Hmm, OK, I think they should clarify this more on his pages. On pyqt page say u need a qt licence and a pyqt licence to comercial use (no gpl)

But it's no problem to use it under gpl so, it's OK

[unique forge]

are you sure you're looking at the Pyqt license?

make sure it's the riverbank computers website

[viscid drift]

ty

[kindred mist]

@unique forge yes its on the riverbank side

@unique forge PyQt does not include Qt itself. You must also obtain an appropriately licensed copy (either the commercial version from The Qt Company or the LGPL version from the Qt Project). (FROM PYQT WEBSITE)

So if I type "echo E:\Documents\python\PyCharm\venv\CLI\ascii-art.txt" in my lineedit and press Enter, then it prints 2 times the context of "ascii-art.txt"

There are a lot other tutorials of custom Title bar.

Anybody here familiar with PyQt.QMediaPlayer?

I want to display a label on top of a video but the label have a background color and i am unable to remove that

using stylesheet

i want to remove the grey background-color it have

[digital rose]

You can remove the title bar using

        self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground)```

And then can create a custom Title bar with your own styling and Minimize, Maximize, Close buttons

[dense rock]

Which do you think is the best python module for making GUIs cause I used PyQt its good but has its license stuff so planning to move to different one . . . for paid GUI apps can you help me here thanks

[digital rose]

(PS: it mostly depends on if you're trying to build a web-based interface, or just a desktop application, and i'll be writing about options for the latter.)

if i talk of some appropriately documented lib, you'd be down to Tkinter, PyQt, and Kivy. out of these, Kivy has a huge hassle (plus, it does not seem to offer anything special, and doesn't seem to be great from an aesthetic point of view), you don't wish to use PyQt, and tkinter is actually decent (if you want to avoid the extremely vintage look, you can have a look at some custom tkinter themes available online, or write one yourself).

also, these libs do seem to have quite a decent community each, so it's highly likely that you'll find answers to common problems on online forums, like stackoverflow.

if you are not satisfied with any of these, then there's not much that python has to offer (as far as i know, or even if it does, it's most likely a third party project, and might not be well documented). so the best option would be to use some other language that might offer decent choices - for instance, if you're more into microsoft styled UI, you might want to use C#. other than that, JavaScript does seem to offer decent UI options too.

if you're still not satisfied, you might want to write a tiny project to draw widgets off of a graphics lib, like pygame, which would normally sound ridiculous, but it's not that hard / not that big of a hassle if you want a tiny project, where you would write code only for the GUI you want to exist in the app.

[dense rock]

👀

thank you

[sick carbon]

You might want to take a look at Dear PyGui. It has a permissive MIT license, i.e. free for commercial use, and looks more modern than Tkinter.

is there any way of making the "WM_DELETE_WINDOW" work only on sudoku_frame only (LINE 53)

Also (LINE 12) was showing invalid syntax for inconbitmap

[ripe shuttle]

iconbitmap uses a .ico file as far as I am aware

ok thanks. I will check after changing

"WM_DELETE_WINDOW" only works on Tk and TopLevel I think so the Sudokuframe would either have to be a TopLevel or a Tk

From what I have searched it seems that Tkinter is easy to learn but is hard to debug and is not scalable and PyQt has a lot more functionality but has a steeper learning curve. Can somebody suggest me what I should start learning. Thanks in advance 🙂

You could check out Dear PyGui. It has plotting functionality built in.

[proud walrus]

Cool! Man, PyQt if powerful. I used Tkinter, and at it's default, it's ugly. Tkinter needs some tweaking to look nice

Take a look at pygal module. It renders a lots of graphs types.

Hello can anybody help me in php for quering data of one row from a mysql database?

Hello everyone ( i am new to this server sorry if i texted in a wrong channel)
I have a query regarding tkinter frames and winfo_children() function.
So for my Final year of high school project our group and i have decide to put together a banking system with Mysql connector and python (we have to use these two compulsorily so there is no alternative here) Now i am doing teh UI for my tkinter application and i seem to have encountered a little bit of an issue with how frames work.

def ClearPrevFrame(rootFrame):
  Widgetlist = rootFrame.winfo_children()
  rootFrame.pack_forget()
  for i in Widgetlist:
    i.destroy()
  
def RegisterPage(): 
 # has relavant code for register page
  ClearPrevFrame(menuFrame)
def Loginpage():
  #has relavant cide for login pge
  ClearPrevFrame(menuFrame)
#Root buttons
RegisterPage = Button(menuFrame, text = 'Register', command  = RegisterPage).place(relheight=0.06,relwidth=0.2,relx = 0.56,rely = 0.1)
Loginpage = Button(menuFrame,text = 'Login', command = Loginpage ).place(relheight=0.06,relwidth=0.2,relx= 0.75,rely=0.1)
root.mainloop()

now the menuFrame is inside a Cavnas(named Kanvas) and what i want to able to do is clear the canvas or the frame everytime i press the buuttons

i tried using the winfo_children() function to get the data of all the widgets and then delete them induvidualy

but for some reason that dosent work as i have 0 widgets everytime i do it but i am able to clearly see the widgets on my tkinter screen

which causes this error

i am in urgent need of help to resolve this issue

[digital rose]

it's important to determine where ClearPrevFrame is being called to know any further. the reason it shows 0 widgets might be because you used a geometry manager (for instance, place()) in the same line where you declare the parent widget. so,

Button(master, text="Button", command=None).place(x = 100, y = 100)
                                          ^^^^

would cause this button to become a NoneType object.

how can I restrict the Entry input to only numbers and float are allow for tkinter?

[digital rose]

you'd need events. just bind keys to the entry widget, and on each keypress, check if the entered character is an integer, string, etc.

def on_key(event,):
  # key = event.keysym # the name of the key you pressed
  char = event.char  # the character you tried to input
  
  if char in "0123456789.":
    pass; # do something
  
  else:
    # this statement disables the regular functionality of a key (temporarily)
    return "break"

widget.bind("<Key>", on_key)

You can use not in here

Instead of the useless if
