I'm giving PyQT5 a shot as my first GUI, it'll be relatively simple. Where could I find some decent tutorials on it?

[autumn scaffold]

I am still a beginner at python but I know the basics, if I wanted to learn how to make proper UI's where should I start?

I install pyquaternion in cmd promp but when i code something and run it it tells me ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyquaternion'

do yall know why?

can anyone explain to me on the```py

dash=(200,250)

[mortal crag]

i saw this website just now

im confused as idk what is the difference between 4 pixel and 2 pixel

cuz they look the same to me

after i run my code

if i put dash at value 100,100

and 200,250 is the same

almost the same i guess

so im abit confused atm

[native cradle]

Try (1, 10)

What would be the best import module

for using HTML as my interface

I tried seleniun

selenium*

and Flask

and EEL

but so far none of them are working too well

is there a way to make my own web driver

and use that as a way

to like... run my interface

[ripe shuttle]

Maybe you could try CEF python (https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython)

[young sedge]

Selenium and Flask are entirely two different types of software

it would be better if you describe better what u a trying to achieve

[cedar zealot]

Hi

[sick carbon]

I made a music player with dancing raccoons. A longer video and project details can be found here.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/sp7ddv/my_first_project_raccoon_music_player_cute/

[young sedge]

Nice. Quite frontendish.

[sick carbon]

lol, what do you mean by frontendish?

[young sedge]

🤔

Most of the code for this stuff is purely frontend logic/code (Basically your project is made out of 100% frontend, if you did not add anything else to it)

So, nice style for frontend stuff

Oh, you made it as desktop app, funny, I just did not look at the code. I just in my mind quickly rematched it to Frontend capabilities 😉 (Your project can be theoretically remade with frontend framework, CSS / Javascript stuff as a web app)

That's why named it so

[sick carbon]

Yeah, it probably could be made with Javascript, React native, etc., but the point is that it isn't 🙂

[young sedge]

A bit too much thinking within web dev department

[young sedge]

Web stuff rulezz, cross platform availability without installing anything ;b

[sick carbon]

lol, how would you do that with Python though. Electron is a very heavy framework for this. CEF maybe?

[young sedge]

No, I mean as a web site

So React / Vue.js / Angular stuff

Python would be participating at best only to have more sophisticated music storage

[sick carbon]

I definitely see the benefits of web and just going by the numbers that 's where development is focused and has been heading for a long time. In case of a web app, you would probably link it to the Spotify API as well. Why use local files when you are on the web?

But would you play your games on the web? Where would you draw the line? In this case, I like that the app unfurls and you can drag the app around. It provides a tactile experience to the player that web doesn't, not for me anyway.

Anyway, I take it as a compliment that you would see this as a frontendish web application!

[stray jackal]

dancing racoons - nice idea

i want to use Tkinter to talk to a existing CLI program for SDR ( sofware defined radio ) to control its functions -- is that a frontend ?

[sick carbon]

Thanks!

Is that question about Tkinter or Dear PyGui?

Dear PyGui is a GUI framework for Python, just like Tkinter, but more modern and faster with plotting, node editor and graphical functionality built in. I guess you’d call it a front end for a desktop application, not web.

https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui

Here are some apps made with Dear PyGui to give you an idea what can be done with it.

https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/wiki/Dear-PyGui-Showcase

[digital rose]

Best way of Python GUI tool for beginners?

I heard that Tkinter is the ideal, but I wonder if there are alternatives too

[brazen crag]

Check out the "guizero" package -- it's pretty easy to learn and has good documentation. It's basically a wrapper around tkinter. It's really great for simple and quick GUIs.

[digital rose]

no. frontend is what you see on your screen, so all the visual elements that are part of an interface, for instance Buttons, Scrollbars, Text widgets and so on, are all part of frontend. if you plan to send / receive a stream of data to / from an application or a process, that's back-end, i.e the nervous system of a program.

@digital rose you can refer to this giant essay i wrote.

[solemn yacht]

any simple tkinter app on github? i want to look at how ppl develop using tkinter before actually making my own programs

[stiff geyser]

Very nice app. Looks great. I wish I had used pygui for a project I'm working on. Tkinter has no built in functions for adding custom fonts and its a headache. I saw you called dearpygui.add_font() to add fonts to registry, I'm going to try doing that, maybe it'll work lol?

[sick carbon]

Thank you! Am I understanding you correctly that you want to use Dear PyGUi to add fonts to the registry of Tkinter? If so, I highly doubt that it would work. Doesn't Tkinter have theming for TTK or something? I never used Tkinter, but I see that mentioned sometimes.

You can always use Dear PyGui on your next project. Here are some other apps made with Dear PyGui.
https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/wiki/Dear-PyGui-Showcase

There is a discord server for Dear PyGui as well in case you need help. By the way, it's called Dear PyGui. There is another, much older framework called PyGui, which is why the distinction is not trivial.

What are you working on?

[stiff geyser]

Yea, if that add_font() function adds it to the windows registry, then there is a slight chance it might work. But if its a pygui specific registry thing then yea, it probably won't work. I will look into it. And yea it has theming but there is no support for custom fonts as far as I know.

I'll definitely use dear pygui next time, thanks for the info! And the app is a GUI for a music splitting program.

[sick carbon]

Cool! Sounds like it is shares some features with this application (built with an older version of Dear PyGui, it won't run out of the box with the latest version of Dear PyGui). @stiff geyser

https://youtu.be/tE7pUi2XEJE?t=713

https://github.com/youmebangbang/TTS-dataset-tools

[stiff geyser]

thank you^ will check that out

[digital rose]

it's not really necessary to force a font install. if you use a python-to-exe packager (like pyinstaller), you'll notice that the font gets packaged along with your code. so, you won't need to enforce an install in that particular case.

[stray jackal]

ponder - ponder - ponder - have a drink - ponder ponder

[stiff geyser]

Yea I know, the issue was not packaging the font with the code, but for tkinter to access the font, it has to be temporarily added to windows.

But I figured it out. These lines do the job

gdi32 = ctypes.WinDLL('gdi32')
gdi32.AddFontResourceW("Mercy.ttf")

AddFontResourceW() temporarily "installs" a font in Windows.

and tkinter can then use that font

[digital rose]

it doesn't really matter either way. you could package this:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import font

root = tk.Tk()
uifont = font.Font(family="DejaVu Sans Mono", size=16);

text = tk.Text(root, font=uifont)
text.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=1)

root.mainloop()

and it would work (atleast when packaging with pyinstaller).

and since you've initialized the font publicly, it would work. why'd tkinter not recognize / access this font?

but anyways, you've solved it, and that's that i guess.

[stiff geyser]

Oh, so If I package that code with pyinstaller and the font file, it would just work like that?

If thats the case, I'd rather do it that way.

[digital rose]

no, you wouldn't need to package the font file along with it. it just needs to be installed on your system, and pyinstaller will create a portable version of that font file, i believe.

[stiff geyser]

Okay, will try that out. Thanks for the info.

[deft knoll]

how to close tkinter window and create a new one with clicking a button?

[uneven summit]

which ui library did you used? it looks modern and beautiful

[uneven summit]

hard to believe this thing is built on python ui libraries

[graceful snow]

"Made with Dear PyGui and PyMiniAudio" - Just follow the link in the post. The project is well described there.

[sick carbon]

I appreciate your compliments! The GUI framework is Dear PyGui. It’s the only library used for the front end. The list box, scrollbar and buttons are Dear PyGui style (they are themeable with regard to colour and rounding). You can load any font you want, so I used four different fonts. All other elements are images. Dear PyGui is written in C/C++ (and uses the GPU for rendering, which makes it quite performant) with Python bindings.

[barren tide]

Does anybody use Qt here? I'm trying to get QWidget's real screen size. Is it possible?
I've tried:

self.size()
self.geometry.size()
self.frameGeometry.size()
self.frameSize()

None of these return real size.

[rancid imp]

Is there a font out there that includes color emojis that is compatible with tkinter?

[ripe shuttle]

w1 = window_you_want_to_close
def manage_windows():
  w1.destroy()
  w2 = tk.Tk()

Did you mean something like this?

[granite rampart]

You can also use this to remove all widgets and start over
root = Tk()
def fresh_window(root):
for i in root.winfo_children():
i.destroy()
fresh_window(root)

[jovial pivot]

I was making a program and was using the Label class, but it appears that when i display it to screen, the image is comepletely blank. Could it be an anchoring problem?
I have a very long code so i will just add the important things here

    titleScreen = Frame(window, width=width, height=height)

    titleScreenIMG = PhotoImage(file="Assets/TitleScreen.png")
    titleLabel = Label(titleScreen, image=titleScreenIMG)
    titleLabel.pack()
    titleScreen.pack()```

there seems to be no error with the image path either

[mighty rock]

Tkinter requires you to save a reference to the image somewhere. The easiest way to do it in your case is titleLabel.image = titleScreenIMG

And I think that should work

[jovial pivot]

I saw people talking about keeping a reference. i couldnt really understand that

btw in tkinter, does the layer of objects work as per the line where it was created or the line where it was placed

[mighty rock]

Placed/packed/gridded

But the ID of the object is generated by the order of creation

[jovial pivot]

that seems to work but the placement and size seems messed up

[mighty rock]

Try packing the label with the options expand=True, fit="both"

Maybe just with expand=True and make sure the size of the image matches the size of the frame

[jovial pivot]

actually

[jovial pivot]

i had a canvas doing the .create_image() function

that i forgot to mention in the above code

and i commented it and it stopped displaying

but it worked only after i created a reference, as u told me to

[mighty rock]

Labels have the capability to display images by themselves, no need to use a canvas, yeah

[jovial pivot]

would u like to join a vc where i can screenshare my code?

because atm, its very messy to show someone

[mighty rock]

Okay

[jovial pivot]

@mighty rock would u like to do it in a dm call?

i cant verify myself

[mighty rock]

Yeah screen sharing is not possible here anyway

[jovial pivot]

alr

ill dm u

[deft knoll]

I did this but the intvar variables I set for the checkbuttons to keep them inactive by default don't work!

hi hi uhhh

i need help with PySimpleGUI

i regret even looking at this package but now i have to finish what i started

i need help plz ping me if someone knows it well

anyways no one wants to ping me

so im having some problem with the program im making, its technically a 10 question math thingy that it randomly asks 10 questions that are adding and then after those it gives you your score and the time you answered it

and im having problem with getting the answer and like almost everything

im so lost in the way pysimplegui works idk what to do

ik how to get an answer but idk how to put them in a table or data base then show it in another place

currently my code is working how it is coded but not the way i want it to

[sinful pendant]

Is there any way to move a shapes point,
Like i have a line in canvas and i want to move just the one end of point
Is that possible?

[jovial pivot]

im pretty sure i saw a tutorial about moving labels with cursor

[digital rose]

you could delete and re-draw the line, with the 2nd set of coordinates (i.e, the end-coords, where you moved the end point of the line segment).

this is where canvas objects come into play. you can name the line based off of a specific tag / id, and use that to delete the line. for instance,

canvas.create_line(10, 10, 100, 100, tags = "line")

now if you'd call canvas.delete("line"), that particular line will not be rendered anymore.

[sinful pendant]

👍

Im just one thing needed that i want to get the canvas item in that points sure there is

😅working on simulation using tkinyer canvas

[digital rose]

so you wish to figure out what canvas object lies on a particular point?

[sinful pendant]

Yes

[digital rose]

i think the canvas.find_closest(m, n) works just fine, since it will return the id of the object nearest to the position (m, n).

[clear crown]

hey um do anyone know how to work with pysimplegui?
im trying to make it so it will give me another random number every time i press the enter button but idk how to do it

plz help me i need it quick

[eager beacon]

What do you mean by 'real' screen size?

If you're trying to get the size of the widget before its visible, it won't work.

.size() should give you the correct size excluding the window

[barren tide]

Yeah. I figured out I was trying to use .size() right before the widget was shown. Thx.

[silver crown]

hey, im trying to make the bg of my tkinter window a gif

org = Tk()
org.configure(bg = 'black')
org.title('X.M.')
org.geometry("569x800")

frameCnt = 44
frames = [PhotoImage(file='love-stars.gif',format = f'gif -index {i}') for i in range(frameCnt)]

def update(ind):

    frame = frames[ind]
    ind += 1
    if ind == frameCnt:
        ind = 0
    label.configure(image=frame)
    org.after(100, update, ind)

b1 = PhotoImage(file='button1.png')



button_1 = Button(org,image=b1,bg='black',command = months, text = 'VIEW MONTHS')
#button_1.config(font = ('Porter',19,'bold'), height = 2, width = 15,relief = GROOVE)
button_1.config(relief=FLAT)
button_1.place(x = 250,y = 100)

button_2 = Button(org,command = add_data, text = 'ADD DATA')
button_2.config(font = ('Porter',19,'bold'), height = 2, width = 15,relief = GROOVE)
button_2.place(x = 250,y = 300)

button_3 = Button(org,command = get_advice, text = 'GET ADVICE')
button_3.config(font = ('Porter',19,'bold'), height = 2, width = 15,relief = GROOVE)
button_3.place(x = 250,y = 500)

label = Label(org)
label.pack()
org.after(0, update, 0)

org.mainloop()

but the label hides the buttons

how do i make the buttons come on top

[eager beacon]

yeah that can be confusing. Glad you got it working 👍

[ripe shuttle]

Maybe try placing the buttons after you have packed the label. That way, the code would render the label first and then the buttons which should make them come in front of the label.

[silver crown]

i take that back, prolly i messed up last time, but it works now

u r a lifesaver

[ripe shuttle]

Happy to help

[sinful pendant]

I found that u dont need to delete the object and draw again and again, just like we use canvas.coords(shape) to get the coords if we do canvas.coords(shape, x0, y0, x1,y1) it will set the shaoe to these locations and hence modfying the shape

It just gives weired effects on some cases like when on among x1 y1 is less than x0 y0 respectively

Test this code, this acts as draw circles program

I think i need to move the circle if it dont works proper on that problem

[mint wind]

hello, so I am making a random name generator, which should get a random name from a list, remove that name, then, when the button on the GUI is clicked, pick a new name that isnt in that list, until there is only 1 name left. i am kinda unsure of what to do rn tho because it can pick a random name and remove that name, but how do i make it so that it will pick another name that is in the list continually? here is the code:

from tkinter import *
import random

names = ["MESSI Lionel","RONALDO Cristiano","TRUMP Donald","BIDEN Joe","JOHNSON Boris"]
random_name = random.choice(names)


def new_name():
    window.destroy()
    names.remove(random_name)
    
window = Tk()

window.resizable(False,False)

name_gen = Button(window,text=random_name,
                    font=("Arial",40,"bold"),
                    fg="#3419e3",
                    activeforeground="#3419e3",
                    compound = "center",
                    command=new_name)
name_gen.pack()

icon = PhotoImage(file="C:/Users/thoma/Desktop/Screenshot 2022-02-13 133639.png")

window.iconphoto(True,icon)

window.title("Random Name Generator")

window.geometry("500x100")

window = mainloop()

What's the simplest way to have a url link of a gif display in PyQt?

[eager beacon]

download the image at the link and display it as a QMovie on a QLabel

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-5/PySide2/QtGui/QMovie.html#more

[coarse mirage]

I could see that but I'm making a Pokedex where users can search Pokemon. I doubt they'll want the dozens if not more pictures of Pokemon sitting in their computer folder, unless the downloaded images are temporary.

[eager beacon]

I don't understand why you would save them. Just use the raw data

[coarse mirage]

"Raw data"? Sorry I'm a bit confused.

[eager beacon]

I might be too...

How do you plan to download the movie?

I assumed you were going to use an http request?

[eager beacon]

Here's an example

import requests
from PyQt5 import QtNetwork
from PyQt5.QtCore import  QUrl
from PyQt5.QtGui import QMovie
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel

url = 'https://i0.wp.com/www.printmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/4cbe8d_f1ed2800a49649848102c68fc5a66e53mv2.gif?fit=476%2C280&ssl=1'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication([])
    label = QLabel()
    movie = QMovie()
    movie.setCacheMode(QMovie.CacheAll)
    label.setFixedSize(400, 200)
    label.setMovie(movie)
    # setup up the http request
    request = QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest()
    request.setUrl(QUrl(url))
    manager = QtNetwork.QNetworkAccessManager()
    # if the request was successful the reply will contain the image data
    reply = manager.get(request)
    # since QNetworkReply is a QIODevice we can use movie.setDevice
    movie.setDevice(reply)
    reply.finished.connect(movie.start)
    label.show()
    app.exec()

you can use requests instead of the QNetwork stuff

If you do, use a QByteArray and a QDataStream as the device

[ripe shuttle]

You need not destroy the window each time you get a new name. Just make a function that would get a random value, remove it from the list and display it. Bind that function as the command for a button and you will be good to go.

[coarse mirage]

Thanks for this. Your code works. However, when I try to apply it and tweak it into my own it doesn't.

You didn't use label.setMovie

the label is like the screen, you're going to need one of those

Does your widget have a layout set, and is the label in the layout?

[coarse mirage]

Full Code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iwizojibuj.rb

The only widget is MainWindow and it's in mw_attributes.
The label had no problem putting the gif in when it wasn't a url.

[eager beacon]

If I had to guess I'd say your manager/request get garbage collected before the request is complete

[coarse mirage]

"Garbage collected"?

[eager beacon]

When a method finishes any local variables defined inside can be garbage collected(deleted) unless they are returned

A solution could be to define the manager /request in the __init__ or create a list in __init__ and append the manager/request/reply

@coarse mirage This works for me

You should probably read the docs on the QNetwork stuff. I'm not all that familiar with it, so if you get stuck on something, you might be on your own to figure it out.

[glacial moon]

Hi everyone, just looking for recommendations for a framework, library, etc that's offline, to make a dashboard. I wanted to make a dashboard for weather, network health, etc of my home LAN , run it on a Raspberry Pi and display it on a currently unused monitor.

[ripe shuttle]

If you want it to be simple and functional then go with tkinter.

[glacial moon]

That’s exactly what I’m going for thank you

[sacred dirge]

Anyone have good tutorials on getting started with Qt programming for Python? I keep meaning to get into it but it always feels so daunting
I know their the Qt designer/creator app but even then I have no idea how to get started with it, or how to integrate it into existing projects

Cause right now I've been using the gooey library, which basically convert your argparse code into a GUI that you can customize, but it's very barebones

[median ridge]

https://www.pythonguis.com/tracks/

Lots of good tutorials

[vernal crystal]

I am having a sort of mental hiccup / barrier, something’s not clicking for me. If it’s initialized without arguments, why does the example have arguments?

[tribal path]

https://github.com/kivy/kivy/tree/master/examples/demo/kivycatalog

not sure many refer to it though

[ripe shuttle]

Not really an alternative as kivy is the only multi-platform one I know but KivyMD is a option you might be aware of.

[mighty scroll]

those are just defaults to arguments, you can put those arguments in and itd override the defaults but you dont have to

[digital rose]

^

[digital rose]

if you look at those args, they are pre-defined. if you might've studied functions before, you don't need to pass in a value for an argument, if it's already defined, in that case, it uses the value it was initialized with.

for instance,

def func(var = True):
  print(var)

if you just call func without passing in a value for var, it would work. it's entirely optional to pass in a value in that case.

func() # works, prints True

# the following work too
func(False)
func("alabaster")

[vernal crystal]

Okay, I'm with you on the default arguments, but the documentation doesn't seem to go into any detail about what any of those default args actually mean, do, represent. If they're default and I could pass in something else, what would that do?

That's my hangup

[digital rose]

no idea why the documentation is missing that piece of info, it seems like they started on it, but didn't finish it all the way. however, you can definitely do:

import tkinter
help(tkinter.Tk)

which yields a big chunk of text explaining what the __init__ args do, specifically:

__init__(self, screenName=None, baseName=None, className='Tk', useTk=True, sync=False, use=None)
 |      Return a new Toplevel widget on screen SCREENNAME. A new Tcl interpreter will
 |      be created. BASENAME will be used for the identification of the profile file (see
 |      readprofile).
 |      It is constructed from sys.argv[0] without extensions if None is given. CLASSNAME
 |      is the name of the widget class.

it seems like these args are quite trivial for an application.

(that does miss out on useTk , sync and use, no idea why.)

[vernal crystal]

I have to say, nothing makes me feel quite as braindead as programming.

The literature is dense and I'm never sure what questions I'm trying to ask, but thank you, that helps

[digital rose]

anytime, fasho.

can i make a ui like this

[solemn yacht]

what is wrong in here??

does WxPython calls OnInit() before the init()?

[young sedge]

Which way looks better?

Version 1:

Version 2:

Version 3:

the difference is in the settings button located differently

[wraith plover]

[solemn yacht]

oh thanks

also, i'm having lots of trouble making a custom button widget. I would like to create a button in the tkinter style, but tkinter is so simple it just doesnt fit my needs rn

this is what i have so far:

import wx

class Button(wx.Control):

    def __init__(self, parent, id, label, size, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(parent, id, **kwargs)

        self.SetLabel(label)
        self.SetInitialSize(size)

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self._onMouseDown)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_UP, self._onMouseUp)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEAVE_WINDOW, self._onMouseLeave)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_ENTER_WINDOW, self._onMouseEnter)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND, self._onEraseBackground)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT, self._onPaint)

        self._mouseIn = self._mouseDown = False

    def _onMouseEnter(self, event):
        self._mouseIn = True

    def _onMouseLeave(self, event):
        self._mouseIn = False

    def _onMouseDown(self, event):
        self._mouseDown = True

    def _onMouseUp(self, event):
        self._mouseDown = False
        self.sendButtonEvent()

    def sendButtonEvent(self):
        event = wx.CommandEvent(wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED, self.GetId())
        event.SetInt(0)
        event.SetEventObject(self)
        self.GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(event)

    def _onEraseBackground(self, event):
        # reduce flicker
        pass

    def _onPaint(self, event):
        dc = wx.BufferedPaintDC(self)
        dc.SetFont(self.GetFont())
        dc.SetBackground(wx.Brush(self.GetBackgroundColour()))
        dc.Clear()

        # draw whatever you want to draw
        # draw glossy bitmaps e.g. dc.DrawBitmap
        if self._mouseIn:
            pass# on mouserover may be draw different bitmap
        if self._mouseDown:
            pass # draw different image text

found this code on stackoverflow

my objective is to make a label appear at the center of the widget and make it sink on its press

i couldnt find a way to change the border state of anything in wxpython

also, i made several calculations using the size of the control but got no results in positioning a text on the center with the dc.DrawText()

It would be a bad practice I think, but what i could is instead of inheriting from Control, inherit from panel and then make the panel clickable

but then the problem of not being able to sink it would come anyway

[solemn yacht]

in reality... this project seems hella cool... I will dive deeper into it, seems a really useful thing for the framework

im working on a considerably big project rn, but for real someday i hope i can help with this

[delicate shadow]

That would be appreciated 🙂

[coarse mirage]

Full code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/qoxaqivovo

So I have a label I created from this snippet:

    def mw_attributes(self):
        self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
        self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top,self.width, self.height)
        self.setFixedSize(self.size())
        self.pixmap = QPixmap()
        self.pokemon_image_screen = QLabel(self)
        self.pokemon_image_screen.setPixmap(self.pixmap)
        self.pokemon_image_screen.setGeometry(70, 80, 472, 460)

That is filled with an image from this url when this function runs:

    def start_button_click(self):
        url_image = requests.get(url_2)
        image = QImage()
        image.loadFromData(url_image.content)
        self.pokemon_image_screen.setPixmap(QPixmap(image))

The issue is that the image it imports is just huge. I was wondering what the simplest way would be to resize the image to scale it down to something smaller?

I looked it up and have found Qt::AspectRatioMode in PyQt documentation: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt.html#AspectRatioMode-enum

But it doesn't seem to transfer much to Python.

Someone discovered something similar in Stackoverflow but that was over a decade and a few versions of PyQt ago: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21802868/python-how-to-resize-raster-image-with-pyqt

[stable bough]

I hope this is the right channel for this, but I wanted to show you all an alternative to Colorama that I created a few years ago:

https://github.com/juanrgon/terminology

I never promoted it, but I've shown it to friends and have used it at work and on pet projects a ton

[stable bough]

There are obviously a lot of libraries in python that color text that I have used, but I have used these other libraries and have never liked their syntaxes. For comparison, this is how you print a red, bold, underlined string in terminology:

from terminology import in_red

print(in_red('Danger').in_bold().underlined())

and this is how you do it with the other alternatives:

colorama

from colorama import Fore, Style                                                                                                                                                                                  
# Colorama doesn't support Underlined text because it 
# is struggling to make it work for windows users
# https://github.com/tartley/colorama/issues/38
print(Fore.RED + Style.BRIGHT + 'Danger' + Style.NORMAL)

termcolor

from termcolor import colored

# The string args in this make's this susceptible to typos that are only caught in runtime.
# Other libraries that rely on strings: termcolor, 
text = print(colored('Danger', 'red', attrs=['underline', 'bold']))

crayons

import crayons

# I actually am somewhat ok with the crayons syntax, but it 
# doesn't support underlined text because it is a wrapper to colorama
print(crayons.red('Danger', bold=True)

blessings

from blessings import Terminal

t = Terminal()

# These function names are so dynamic that you can't use autocomplete in an editor/terminal, 
# which is minor, but pretty annoying to me
t.bold_red_underline("Danger")

rich

from rich import print

# I find this syntax to be very annoying and a single typo can ruin all the formatting or cause an error
print("[bold red underline]Danger[/bold red underline]!")

one other thing I like is that the library's functions are idempotent, meaning in_red('text') == in_red(in_red('text')), which intuitively makes sense to me

[static barn]

I'm currently writing a status bar, like polybar/waybar, for Windows with PyQt6. A few widgets I plan on writing, like a media player widget for example, rely on the winrt python module to retrieve information, e.g. currently playing media info.

I noticed that whenever I try to use (or even import) winrt within my PyQt application, the application will crash with

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1030, in _gcd_import

    _winrt.init_apartment()
RuntimeError: Cannot change thread mode after it is set.

A hacky fix is to simply import winrt before PyQt is imported within main.py, but this will still result in PyQt outputting the error:
Qt warning: QWindowsContext: OleInitialize() failed: "COM error ..."

Has anyone ran into this before, and are there any better workarounds? I found this issue https://github.com/microsoft/xlang/issues/690 and it looks like init_apartment is called both by PyQt and then winrt. A forked version of winrt is also linked in the above issue, but I don't know how i'd install it.

[static barn]

After searching the discord, I've just found this message explaining OleInitialize, which makes sense: #help-pear message
But executing the QApplication in a different thread doesn't seem to fix the issue.

[solar hollow]

best ui?

[ripe shuttle]

You could try using ttk to make it look better. To make it come out neater, you could increase the padding. To make the phone number look more normal you could put the fields in a frame and put that frame in front of the Phone Number label. Also, it ought to be Generate Certificate instead of generate word if I am not wrong. The input fields can be aligned to the right of the window and the labels can be aligned to the left to make it look slightly better (Personal opinion). The submit buttons can be made more spread out.

PS: It doesn't look weird. It is fine.

[ripe shuttle]

Depends on what you want to do and how much time you wish to spend on learning it

[solar hollow]

android best ui

[ripe shuttle]

I think kivy is your only option there. I do recommend you use it with kivyMD

[drifting palm]

what is the difference

padding where?

[ripe shuttle]

ttk has slightly different widgets and you can set a theme for the entire window. You could look https://rdbende.github.io/tkinter-docs/resources/list-of-ttk-themes.html for some themes

[ripe shuttle]

pady for everything in your form should be increased to make it more spread out

That often makes things look neater

Don't overdo it. Somewhere between 3-10 should be plenty

[drifting palm]

hmmm

okk

could you do the UI part

            window.deiconify()
            with open("Passwords.txt" , 'a') as file:
                file.write(Website.get() + "|" + Username.get() + "|" + Password.get() + "\n")
            Message = Label(window, text = "Password successfully saved.", bg = "green", 
                            fg = "white", font = ("Arial", 16))
            Message.pack()
.
.
.
window.mainloop()

if the window was your main window

otherwise i advice you to use Toplevel():

def savepassword():
        if Website.get() == "" or Username.get() == "" or Password.get() == "":
            window = Toplevel()
            Error_Message = Label(window, text = "Error! Please fill all the above fields.", 
                                  bg = "red", fg = "white", font = ("Arial", 16))
            ErrorMessage.pack()

        else:
            window = Toplevel()
            with open("Passwords.txt" , 'a') as file:
                file.write(Website.get() + "|" + Username.get() + "|" + Password.get() + "\n")
            Message = Label(window, text = "Password successfully saved.", bg = "green", 
                            fg = "white", font = ("Arial", 16))
            Message.pack()

[digital rose]

1. Make it look better:
   using bg, fg, activebackground, activeforeground and bd.

2. Put a space between the 2 fields and labels:
   if you are using grid you should use pady and padx from their names the pady make a space in the y position and the same for the padx but in the x position. done via:

X.grid(row=N, column=N, padx=N, pady=N) # X = your widget, N = your number

3. Making phone number field look normal with there being 2 boxes, 1 for phone number code one for phone number:
   i think by using the columnspan which can be done by (am not good at grid because i think place better than grid):

X.grid(...., columnspan=N) # X = your widget, N = your number

4. Making it look neater
   i don't know what you want exactly do you want better UI look or ?

Note: the tkinter \ Tcl\Tk are a basic GUI library and not fancy GUI library like PyQt5.

why my tkinter bind buttons work incorrectly?
when i go on start bottun with mouse, about button will change!

this is my code:

def btns(self, x, y, text, bg, fg):
        def on_enter(ctx):
            self.btn['background'] = fg
            self.btn['foreground'] = bg
        def on_leave(ctx):
            self.btn['background'] = bg
            self.btn['foreground'] = fg

        

        # button
        self.btn = tk.Button(self, text=text, bg=bg, fg=fg, activebackground=fg, activeforeground=bg, border=0, width=42, height=2)
        

        self.btn.bind('<Enter>', on_enter)
        self.btn.bind('<Leave>', on_leave)
        

        self.btn.place(x=x, y=y)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    window = Panel()
    window.label()
    window.btns(0, 190, 'S T A R T', '#2b2e37', '#56fc03')
    window.btns(0, 230, 'A B O U T', '#2b2e37', '#f5ec42')
    window.mainloop()

i think i wrote my oop code incorrectly

i wrote this simple and worked

Anyone know how to embed a Matplotlib figure in a tkinter window and also support high resolution displays? I posted my question on Stack Overflow but haven't gotten much help. https://stackoverflow.com/q/71191121/1084875

[stray jackal]

use Pygame

[delicate obsidian]

I want to do this with PyQt5, but I'm not really sure where to look (sorry for the scuffed representation lol)

[digital rose]

Pygame supports Matplotlib figures?

[kindred haven]

Using PySimpleGUI
couldn't recognize data in image file "foo.png", can someone help me out?

[digital rose]

maybe your file is not exists or invalid ?

[kindred haven]

I'm not sure, I can see and open it on windows so it does exist

[digital rose]

You can't make blur in tkinter.
but you can work charts with Matplotlib in tkinter: https://datatofish.com/matplotlib-charts-tkinter-gui/

[digital rose]

yes, I mean the path

if you can show me your code

[kindred haven]

you mean you want to place widgets in the edges of your window ?

window = sg.Window('PySimpleGUI Test',layout,size=(200,100))

while True:
    event, values = window.read()
    if event == 'Exit':
        break
    if event == 'Button':

        window['img1'].update(r'thumb_0.png')```

I am able to download the image and everything, but I can't open it in pysimplegui

[digital rose]

if you can save it in a real path will be better:

urllib.request.urlretrieve(f"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/{values['URL']}/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEbCKgBEF5IVfKriqkDDggBFQAAiEIYAXABwAEG&rs=AOn4CLCS6cs4L97xxnXYTOVP7q7CMrN0Gw",'C:\\Blah\\thumb_0.png')
        window['img1'].update('C:\\Blah\\thumb_0.png')

and i think if you want to change the image you should use Pillow

from PIL import Image, ImageTk
.
.
urllib.request.urlretrieve(f"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/{values['URL']}/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEbCKgBEF5IVfKriqkDDggBFQAAiEIYAXABwAEG&rs=AOn4CLCS6cs4L97xxnXYTOVP7q7CMrN0Gw",'C:\\Blah\\thumb_0.png')
im = Image.open('C:\\Blah\\thumb_0.png')
image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=im)
window['img1'].update(data=image)

as the StackOverFlow showing:

You'll want to get Qt Designer

It's a drag and drop interface where you can make exactly that

and once finished you can export it into a python file and program all the buttons and things like that

Hi, I'm coding a GUI using Tkinter which computes financial calculations across 3 different tabs. I have created the tabs and included a dropdown options menu on tab 1 to pick from gross margin, operating margin and net profit margin. I have been trying to code a function that includes if and elif statements so that when the user for example picks gross margin, I want a textbox and entry button to appear where the user can input values. However, I don't understand how to do this. Any thoughts? This is the code:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Tab Widget")
tabControl = ttk.Notebook(root)

tab1 = ttk.Frame(tabControl)
tab2 = ttk.Frame(tabControl)
tab3 = ttk.Frame(tabControl)

tabControl.add(tab1, text='Tab 1')
tabControl.add(tab2, text='Tab 2')
tabControl.add(tab3, text='Tab 3')
tabControl.pack(expand=1, fill="both")

OPTIONS = ["Gross Margin", "Operating Margin", "Net Profit Margin"]
variable = tk.StringVar(root)
variable.set("Pick a calculation")
w = tk.OptionMenu(tab1, variable, *OPTIONS)
w.grid(column=0, row=1)

ttk.Label(tab1,
text="Profitability Ratios").grid(column=0, row=0, padx=30, pady=30)
ttk.Label(tab2,
text="Lets dive into the world of computers").grid(column=0, row=0, padx=30, pady=30)
ttk.Label(tab3,
text="My third tab for my coursework").grid(column=0, row=0, padx=30, pady=30)

def gross_margin():
if tk.OptionMenu == OPTIONS[0]:
gp = Label(root, tab1, text="Enter Gross Profit Value:", command=gross_margin()).pack()
gpe = Entry(root, tab1, textvariable=grossprofit, command=gross_margin()).pack()
salesentry = Label(root, tab1, text="Enter Sales Value:", command=gross_margin()).pack()
salese = Entry(root, tab1, textvariable=sales, command=gross_margin()).pack()
x = gpe / salese
Label(root, tab1, text=x, command=gross_margin()).pack()

root.mainloop()

Which gui is best?

[digital rose]

I need some help with pyqt5

I am trying to create a chart

Which will have multiple datas

But users have to drag to see the previous data

Like imagine I am making a chart for the popularities of programming languages

And lot of programing languages will be listed there

Imagine python is also there

So users will be able to see the popularity of python from 2010-2022

If they wants to see earlier, they have to drag the chart left

They can even resize the chart to however they wants

Like if they wants data from 2000-2022 they have to make the bottom row bigger

I mean you understood

If anyone helps then please ping me

You can say I am basically trying to make a tick chart

I was making a listbox that displays the contents of a list in a for loop. Then I added a function that adds content to the list, but the new content does not show up in listbox. Am I doing something wrong with the order of code?
This is a small part of the program I am making.

window = Tk()

nameList = ["Joe", "JoeNathon", "Joestar", "Joelly"]

def add_name():
    nameList.append("FunnyNameXd")

listBox = Listbox(window)
listBox.pack(pady=15)

addButton = Button(window, text="Add", command=add_name)
addButton.pack(pady=5)

for i in nameList:
    listBox.insert(END, i)

window.geometry("300x300")
window.mainloop()

[jovial pivot]

are u destroying the previous frame?

make sure the page2 function is being defined inside a function made for page1

and screen1 defined before the page2 function

[ripe shuttle]

Just add

Tk.update(listBox)``` (or window if listBox doesn't work)
To your function. That ought to fix it.

[dusky epoch]

nope

[jovial pivot]

I was wondering how it would update since it isnt in a loop.Thank you so much!

[jovial pivot]

Im sorry but it appears to not be working, not even if i change listBox to window in parameters. I tried to put that in the "add_name" function and placed it after declaring listBox. Am i missing something?

What is the python version you are using?

BTW, tkinter is pre-installed with python as far as I know. I believe you can use it right out of the box.

just typing python3 in terminal followed by from tkinter import * should tell you if it is installed or not

Is it possible to use Pygame and Tkinter at the same time? Im making a sudoku game. I want to display statistics of the game after the game is over and i want a menu through which the player can select the next sudoku puzzle to play.

or a way to embed pygame into tkinter

or can i have it so that when i press a button on the tkinter GUI, pygame starts?
when it ends i can use the data collected while the user was playing to display stats in tkinter after pygame ends?

[stray jackal]

good idea

[ripe shuttle]

This is possible. You can make your game and pull it up by pressing a tkinter button. The simplest way in my opinion would be to make your game as a different file and the use the os.system("python path/to/game/file.py")
That would pull up your game on the press of a button I think.

how to use while loop in tkinter with after method?

doing a while loop would probably freeze the gui, hence the after method helps, you can set a function to be called in a specific delay with after function

[sleek prawn]

I have a list of tasks that take some time to do that should be run successively. The tasks are in a tkinter Treeview and display their statuses in a column.

def start(self):
    for item in self.queue.get_children():
        if self.queue.set(item, "status") == "":
            self.job = Job()
            self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self.job.run)
            self.thread.start()
            self.monitor_progress(item)
            # Stop here without freezing the entire interface
            print("Complete")

def monitor_progress(self, queue_item):
    if self.thread.is_alive():
        self.queue.set(queue_item, "status", self.job.progress)
        self.after(100, lambda: self.monitor_progress(queue_item))
    else:
        self.queue.set(queue_item, "status", "Complete")```
`monitor_progress` is used to update the column with the status. The issue is the loop continues after the call to `monitor_progress` which makes all tasks run at the same time.
I thought after() calling itself would make the script stop there but apparently not 🤔  How should I make the loop stop running until the thread exits without freezing the entire interface?

[sleek prawn]

Well I managed to fix this by putting a self.thread.join() inplace of the comment there and putting the whole start function in another thread

[wary birch]

Hi, I need help with a project I've been doing. So here's what I want:

I have 2 monitor screens. My main one is simply a usual screen to code and stuff, the other one will have no other function other than display an image in full screen. I want to be able to control the image displayed on the second screen like so:

while True:
  #Do stuff
  secondScreen.update_image(numpy_array)
  #Do more stuff

My problem/challenge is: I want to do this as simple as possible. What I've done so far is to use PyQt5 and create a widget that will be displayed on the second screen, and all the event handling is done from the main thread, while the data processing is done on the separate thread and they communicate through signals, that is:

class mainWidget(QWidget):
  def __init__(self):
    #init stuff
    secondMonitorWidget.showFullscreen()
    self.startThread()

  @pyqtSlot()
  def update_image(self,img):
    secondMonitorWidget.update_image(img)

  def startThread(self):
    thread=QThread()
    thread.new_img_signal.connect(self.update_image)

class worker(QThread):
  new_img_signal=pyqtsignal(np.ndarray)
  def __init__(self):
    #init_stuff
  def run(self):
    #Do stuff
    new_img_signal.emit(array)
    #Do more stuff

This is one way to do it, and it somehow works, but it feels like taking a tank to kill a fly. The most annoying part is that it forces me to have an event loop where there will be no events to detect on the GUI. Is there no other way to achieve this in a much simpler form?

(This is a lot of pseudo-code but I think the message gets across)

in tkinter, you can simply bind the keypresses to certain functions

otherwise you can also use the keyboard pypi package

but you can see their in code how I deleted that element!

[jovial pivot]

ah yes

[limpid jungle]

You just select that element and click remove element button .. that will be deleted.

that works too, but i need the index to remove the object from a list too

so is there like a method "ACTIVE.index"

Hello Guys, Just a doubt with tkinter, how can we give spaces between two widgets ? For e.g. in the given figure how can I minimize the space between two buttons? I am new in UI so please don't mind the design 😅 😅 I will refactor the size and design later.

[jovial pivot]

are u packing the buttons or placing them?

[zealous sphinx]

i have used grid()

[ripe shuttle]

Reduce the padx and pady in the .grid()

[digital rose]

Can i post GitHub links here ?For showcasing project ?

https://github.com/vikramsamak/smartcalculator.git

[young sedge]

http://www-stone.ch.cam.ac.uk/documentation/rrf/rpn.html
it would be good to know for you smth like Reverse Polish Notation

then your calculator could be used to calculate expressions like (3 + 5) * (7 – 2), instead of just two numbers

[digital rose]

Ok I'll check it thanks for suggestions

[zealous sphinx]

Thanks. I found the bug.

Can someone please clarify, why the same button orientation (height and width) appears different in mac OS and different in Windows? Does Canvas behaves differently with OS?

[quaint island]

Anyone has any idea on how to take gui app to server side

?

[young sedge]

use frontend+backend frameworks?

[quaint island]

my desktop app is based on pyqt5 and tkinter. what do you suggest?

[young sedge]

Thinking which functionality it has
Deciding what can be implemented in frontend, what can be implemented in backend
Deciding, if wishing and capable to do it
Doing it

[young sedge]

If not capable doing due to lack of skills, then describing what u wish to implement... And getting advice for minimal stuff to learn in order to implement it

[young sedge]

This is not sufficient description to give advice what u need in a more precise manner

And that is with assumption I understood correctly that u wish to reimplement your app in form of web site

[quaint island]

So, I have an app with login system. What it basically does is whenever i search in search bar it check the details about certain word in my mysql database server and shows info about it accordingly. It has a username system and it basically keeps record of all searched data, IP, time and surfing of certain user. But, currently it is client side and database credential is at risk.

[young sedge]

if u wish to remove database credentials risk, just make some Backend Rest API in flask/django/fastapi, that does database connection for your application

and exposes public endpoint to query in https request

you can query it even with your pyqt application

[young sedge]

The functionality of frontend looks simple, I think you can implement it in the same backend framework without diving into frontend

then you could simplify your logic, and to be not exposing connection to database as rest api

just do it directly in backend framework and render html images as responses

[quaint island]

thanks this is really helpful

I am making an app (nearly intermediate level) and this time i wanted to add some other attributes in constructor my xyz class inheriting from frame class

[shy torrent]

Anyone has a link to some custom Layout for PyQt/Pyside.

Like actually Layout subclasses. I would like to create my own, but the only examples I can find are either extremely convoluted nested Layouts or from the Pyside Doc and they either are in C++ or some python look a like pseudo code language.

Thanks!

Hi, I've been trying to help a classmate diagnose an issue he was having with validating input in a Tkinter Entry() widget... it now only accepts numbers, the only issue now is that the value of the two entries, when printed, are ".!entry" and ".!entry2". For context, the programs purpose is to take the given radius and height of a cylinder, and will output the surface area and volume of said cylinder.

[proven basin]

Hey @analog spire!

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

[analog spire]

[glacial gust]

You're printing out the widgets themselves. They just return the internal Tk name/ID when str() is called on them by print(), which looks like that. You probably wanted to call .get(), or print the values you already had + the result?
Also, the surface area/volume display code isn't going to be run again when you set variables, you need to update the widgets yourself.

I'm not sure why you're putting things in a canvas, it's not required. Canvas widgets are for things like drawing lines and shapes in a region. For just positioning widgets, the pack, grid and place managers are far better.

pack() is kinda simple, you specify a side and it puts widgets in place. Makes it easy to use, but less customisable.

[dusky marsh]

Sup Carrot? I can help you with tkinter.

[glacial gust]

grid() positions widgets in rows/columns, and is what you usually want to use.

place() does what you are doing with the canvas, places stuff at specific X/Y coordinates. The others check the size of the widget and move stuff around to match.

[dusky marsh]

So the problem with text boxes in tkinter, is that they automatically insert some weird character at the beginning of the string. So just put a quick if statement: if the the string length is greater than 0 cut off the first character.

Oops, never mind, it puts a weird character at the end not the beginning.

[glacial gust]

What character?

[analog spire]

lol all good. thank you, i'll give it a go

[dusky marsh]

I'm not entirely sure...

[glacial gust]

I've not had that happen.

[analog spire]

note that the only reason i'm here is to get the calculation function itself to operate, it's his job to create the ui itself

but i'll pass it along

[glacial gust]

Ah.

[dusky marsh]

I'm using the ScrolledText object when I get that weird idiosyncrisy.

[glacial gust]

What you should perhaps be doing is use your DoubleVar objects. They're linked to the entry widgets, so you can call get() to fetch the data as a float.

[analog spire]

done that :)

have you read the code?

[glacial gust]

Yeah, but you're then calling float() which is a little pointless.

[dusky marsh]

I'm reading the code now... comments would have been nice...

[analog spire]

^ i agree

[dusky marsh]

can you tell me what self.rad is ? What's a tk.Doublevar ?

[analog spire]

from my understanding DoubleVar simply returns the float from the input in the Entry widgets, which makes sense as to what Spen was saying

self.rad is simply a variable called "rad" within the class

[dusky marsh]

Well you're treating self.rad as like a textbox or something. What's the point of the .get() call if it's just tkinters internal double variable type?

[glacial gust]

That's correct.

A tk variable is more like a named holder of a value - other things can register with it, and get notified when it changes.

So for instance you can pass the same variable to multiple widgets, and then editing one has the others update in sync.

[analog spire]

got it sorted, thank you guys for your help, i'll be sure to pass along the other stuff as well :)

[dusky marsh]

Wait, so what's the bug?

I mean, it seems that the data is being calculated... but it's just not being displayed. Uh, where exactly is the label where the output goes?

[analog spire]

turns out the issue wasn't the calculation at all as spen pointed out here (other than converting to floats which we got sorted with DoubleVar), but yes, it was how it was being outputted that was the problem

we got a bit of tunnel-vision there, sorry for the confusion

[dusky marsh]

Glad we could help. Yeah, I wish that I could follow the code better.

Post the fixed version.

Reading other people's code is interesting. I hear that as a professional, reading other people's code and modifying it is like a bread and butter skill.

https://github.com/sryu1/YouTube_View_Bot I created a youtube view bot, how does it look? any feedback? also the webserver is useless in there.

[lucid totem]

how can i program a custom title bar like in vscode using pyqt6, with the topbar being on the samel level as the title of the application n the minimize, maximize n close buttons, with custom icons for the 3 btns?

(plz ping when reply)

What's the script to create a basic ui?

I want to create a test program that might be useful later

[sinful pendant]

Uhh doing this much work is also pain when the ui is outdated 😂, layout managers are sometimes paint when not work properly

Just a static prototype for my "Too Doo" app

[dim geyser]

gonna sound stupid here but is pysimplegui better than tkinter? i've always had trouble writing efficient code without overly long lines for the simplest text and idk how to shorten it or just make it readable

like i dont want to have a code that's 2/3 of gui

[sinful pendant]

Idk, i never went out of tkinter 😀

[digital rose]

From what I’ve seen, pysimplegui is a little more straightforward than Tkinter for a beginner UI

[digital rose]

I’m curious what flask is for in this?

[quartz rampart]

I tried creating a webserver that shows info of the bot but it's a bit useless

should I get rid of it?

[digital rose]

Ah, no that seems like a worthwhile endeavor IMO

Or you can use web hooks and show on discord

[tawdry mulch]

Why wouldn't they work properly

[plain junco]

What's the quickest way to create a desktop GUI (windows)? What language/framework to use?

[grave onyx]

could anyone help me with an HTML inline question?

[cold ice]

i use pyqt5

[sinful pendant]

Aah that was some lots of tries to get the correct settings for this

[tawdry mulch]

Tkinter is easy to use and code

[marble badge]

is anyone having issues with kivymd MDChip? I keep getting error pos_hint But I have not used pos_hint anywhere yet. I checked kitchen_sink demo and same error

[subtle verge]

pysimplegui, very easy (Python)

[gusty adder]

QT Designer is a GUI that allows you to use your mouse to place objects where you want them then convert the .ui file to .py.

The learning curve is a little harder than Tkinter, but once you get the hang of it you'll never go back to Tkinter. If you are interested in making modern GUIs, PyQt5 is the way to go.

[midnight kestrel]

I'm making a typing game with tkinter, where you have to type a certain number of words before the timer finishes. To implement the timer I used threads, which seemingly works, but I still get an error each time my program closes (thread is not in main thread). I was wondering if there was a way to add a timer without using threads since tkinter is not thread safe ?

[fervent iris]

A PyQt5 question:
I am using the designer and loading the form ui through loadUi method.
Right now my source code directory layout is like:

main.py
mainform.ui
...

I create an executable via pyinstaller. If the executable runs in a directory other than the project root directory, the program throws an exception that it cannot find eg. mainform.ui.
I think I understand why this happens, but shall I better define the UI paths, somewhere in a .spec file?
Can otherwise the design files be 'embedded' in the executable?

[sinful pendant]

U can use methods like

Tk().update()
Tk().update_idletasks()

As per my experience idletask just displays the tasks which are currently done inside the function its currently running
Whereas update will go for the current task u doing like if u dragging the window what u will notice is that the window is moving but things running indie has been paused
But in case of idletask the window stores ur drags and after the function is done it will do that window drag task
.
But if u still going with thread option so u can do is that

# if thread2 os the thread u made
thread2.join()

This will do the work and that will join the mthread running the main code

[hollow gorge]

I am learning tkinter, any projects ideas to try?

[midnight kestrel]

Thanks! :)

[digital rose]

filename='password.txt')
await ctx.send(file=file)
  else:
embed = nextcord.Embed(title="Snipe", 

Else is error anyone know why

[sterile flax]

This Variable doesn't work at the second yellow line

Why ?!

[sinful pendant]

U cant acess that like this, and code isnt fully visible

[fervent iris]

Some play projects I have seen but not for TkInter are a calculator, tic tac toe and a to-do list

[tawdry mulch]

What is Tk().update()? Are you creating a tcl interpreter just to update the existing event loop?

[sinful pendant]

No this is just an update method provides to view the changes in real time when tkinter os running a function having a endless loop so if we have this method there in loop it will also act to the commands we are giving, just jad less experience in this method (i used it in some of the projects only)

[marble badge]

does anyone know kivy enough to help or at least tell me what to google because I cant find what I'm looking for. I want to create a dropdown menu from a list

[hollow gorge]

Can I change the master of a widget in tkinter, for example I want a button to go from a LabelFrame to other LabelFrame, is it possible?

[sinful pendant]

No

[tawdry mulch]

What I meant is, don't use Tk().update(). Instead use any_widget.update()

[tawdry mulch]

Once created, a master is not changeable

You can copy the settings and recreate the widget for the new frame

[quartz basin]

help. i can’t install pyqt5, pyqt5-tools and kivy. i get this error every time(python 3.10.2) in cmd

i tried(in cmd):
python -m pip install pyqt5

python -m pip install pyqt5-tools

python -m pip install kivy

[sinful pendant]

K

[quartz basin]

i also used kivy_venv to install kivy but it didn’t work

[sinful pendant]

Do pip install pyqt5 works?

[quartz basin]

no, it says pip is not an internal or external command

[sinful pendant]

https://youtu.be/kxSuHyQfStA
Try this

[quartz basin]

also is it possible to somehow download the files from the internet

[quartz basin]

ok, i’ll try

[tawdry mulch]

You need to add the scripts python folder to the system path first

[quartz basin]

how can i do that

[tawdry mulch]

Google it, various tutorials out there

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bUOrMj88Pc

[quartz basin]

but do i need it if i can use “python -m pip is install”

sorry if asked stupid questions (i’m a beginner)

[hollow gorge]

Got it

[tawdry mulch]

No but it is always a good idea to add to path, you will need it in the future mostly

It is not a huge task, but none the less, that might not solve your original issue

[quartz basin]

ok thanks.
also do i need some kind of license to install and use pyqt5 qt

[tawdry mulch]

No

[quartz basin]

i saw that on qt website

[tawdry mulch]

But the last time I tried to install this( a few months back ), it wasnt supported on python 3.10 yet, so might want to check the compatible version of python and then proceed

[tawdry mulch]

You need a license if you are commercially publishing your application.

But I am not much aware about that aspect

[quartz basin]

ok

[tawdry mulch]

95% confident it works with python 3.8 atleast

[quartz basin]

ok thanks

[tawdry mulch]

and also dont post pictures of errors, like in this example, it is hard for others to see the error. If you are posting such images make sure the text is clearly visible(might want to zoom in) or paste the text(not directly)

[quartz basin]

ok

[quartz basin]

omg it worked thanks a lot

[fossil hill]

guys i'm trying to learn kivy and i'm wondering how you can make a scatter layout translate its children widgets 1 to 1 with itself (so as to maintain relative placement within itself) and also how to restrain it to stay inside the main window

or zoom out the main window to keep the scatter inside ig that works too but i'd preffer the scatter the bound inside the window for translation and maybe only zoom out for rotation and only allow the scatter getting oob when scaled larger than the main window (or whichever container it's in)

Does anyone here happen to have experience with gtk and glade? I'm attempting to convert an application i made awhile back using tkinter to gtk, but am having some trouble. My program needs to be able to dynamically add widgets, and i can't figure out how to use a container designed in glade in my code as it's own object that i can instantiate when needed.

[waxen ruin]

is Error 503 always server side? Or could it be due to a bad header/endpoint client side?

[coarse mirage]

So, typically when I want to change a label image in PyQt, I use a template like so:

class Update():
    
    changed_text = ""
    
    def __init__(self, text = None):
        self.text = text
        
    def get_text(self):
        return self.text
    
    def set_text(self, new_text):
       self.text = new_text
       
    def text_update(entered):
        pull = Update()
        pull.set_text(entered)
        result = pull.text
        template = Template("$text")
        text_string = template.safe_substitute(text = result)
        Update.changed_text = text_string

and

    def transform (entered):
        Update.text_update(entered)
        template = Template("$t_score")
        transformed_score = template.safe_substitute(t_score = Update.changed_text)
        
    def paste_info(self,pre, text_variable):
        template2 = Template("$text")
        label_string = template2.safe_substitute(text = Update.changed_text)
        text_variable(pre + label_string)   

With the following code showing it in action:

        Data.transform(self.name)
        Data.paste_info(self, "", self.name_screen.setText)

While I can update images this way in PyQt, it doesn't seem to work when I change button backgrounds. Is there a way to do this or it isn't possible?

[last terrace]

Well, i ended up answering my own question, so, in case anyone else comes looking for an answer to this question, the solution was to use gtk templates. I set up a separate template file for each of my classes, then used the Gtk.Template() decorator on them. This allowed me to have a class dedicated to the container that needs to be added dynamically, from there i can just instantiate new instances of it as needed.

Using tkinter

Entry(...)

How do u get the string of the Entry?

[cobalt elbow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K880b1yl08

[magic tide]

Just want to remind that .get() function doesn't work

Oh... Didn't understand how to get the output

I mean something kind of a .read() function

[austere bough]

hello! im having trouble with tkinter and ive posted my problem in the help-potato channel. please do help!

!e get

!get

[proven basin]

Often while using dictionaries in Python, you may run into KeyErrors. This error is raised when you try to access a key that isn't present in your dictionary. Python gives you some neat ways to handle them.

The dict.get method

The dict.get method will return the value for the key if it exists, and None (or a default value that you specify) if the key doesn't exist. Hence it will never raise a KeyError.

>>> my_dict = {"foo": 1, "bar": 2}
>>> print(my_dict.get("foobar"))
None

Below, 3 is the default value to be returned, because the key doesn't exist-

>>> print(my_dict.get("foobar", 3))
3

Some other methods for handling KeyErrors gracefully are the dict.setdefault method and collections.defaultdict (check out the !defaultdict tag).

[fathom epoch]

I wanted to make the plot whole screen . and also it seems like stretched. How to make it full screen and remove the stretching?

[steep timber]

Just asking,
Are you using tkinter??

[fathom epoch]

matplotlib

[steep timber]

In matplotlib,

you can actually use
figManager=plt.get_current_fig_manager()
figManager.window.showMaximized()

[fathom epoch]

thanks, I will try this. Is there any other library which I can use for 2d/3d plotting and simulation?

[steep timber]

I think you should check this out:

[fathom epoch]

thanks

[steep timber]

Welcome

[mighty rock]

If calling its get method doesn't work, then you should use a StrVar or however it's called in tkinter. You instantiate an instance of it and pass it into the variable or textvariable or something of the entry widget. This will allow you to call the variable's get and set methods to get and set the text in the entry.

[magic tide]

Ok but for tkinter not for dicts

The tkinter entry box isn't a class so i can use the .get function

[languid gate]

I was just trying to do smth wasn't responding to your question I am sry

can someone help with this please

[jagged geyser]

@scenic garden try this

import tkinter as tk

window = tk.Tk()
window.geometry("800x600+300+100")
window.title("App")
window.config(bg="#6C47F5")
window.resizable(False, False)
window.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
window.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

content = tk.Frame(window, bg="#6C47F5")
content.grid()

nick = tk.Entry(content)
password = tk.Entry(content)
nick.grid(column=0, row=0, pady=20)
password.grid(column=0, row=1, pady=20)

window.mainloop()

if you change the content frame background colour it helps to visualize whats happening when you experiment with changing options

[grim lintel]

I want to ask, which UI Lib can be used to create a simple GUI quickly and efficiently + easy to understand?

[magic tide]

Tkinter

Really easy to use

[magic tide]

Didn't work

[magic tide]

It says

[sinful pendant]

The variable stores None not that tkinter widget with whom u using cget() method

[magic tide]

Ok i done it

But

Now i have the problem to identify of the button is clicked

[sinful pendant]

What u can do is that add commamd to button

Like
Button(master, command=function_object)

[magic tide]

But how is the function

How i know if the button is clicked

[sinful pendant]

Can u explain me what u are doing

[magic tide]

I need to do something like this...

If button is cliked:
Entry.get()

[sinful pendant]

Yeah then do that entry.get thing inside a function and supoose the function name is foo() so in that button writ one more argument called command with foo as value

[magic tide]

Till here i am

But

Inside the function what do i put

[sinful pendant]

Let me gove u a small snippet of code and try that out

[magic tide]

Oke

[sinful pendant]

Whenever u check a button is clicked or not u add a commamd to it

[magic tide]

Ok got it out

Did it

I first didn't understand command with function

[magic tide]

Guys

How to run a loop in "background"

I need to run a tkinter interface and every second an output starts

Like

Every 2 seconds print...

Without stopping the script

[ripe shuttle]

There is no need to declare the entry as a global var.

[tawdry mulch]

It is a class

[tawdry mulch]

It is not Label, it is entry

[ripe shuttle]

You could create a conditional loop with a tk.update(root) which might be what you're looking for

[tawdry mulch]

root.after(2000,func_to_run) inside the func_to_run

[magic tide]

Ok i got into another trauma...

How do i make global a variable in a function. But it mustn't be executed

[sinful pendant]

To be safe side

[sinful pendant]

Yeah i didnt saw that he was asking for entry, lol

[tawdry mulch]

what!

[tawdry mulch]

Nah, there is literally no reason there

[magic tide]

Wdym

[tawdry mulch]

What do you want, explain it clearly

Rather than asking on how to do it, now

[rapid elbow]

Is there a software that allows me to design a GUI by just dragging and dropping objects onto a canvas/frame. For example, a section for the design and a section for the code.

[magic tide]

No

In order to design GUI apps you need to code positions. Like (x=-17,y=22)

[rapid elbow]

https://visualtk.com/
i have found this website

[magic tide]

That's right. But to customize and give widgets their own feature you have to code

import time
import tkinter as tk

def clicked():
    global x
    try:
        x=print(int(number.get()))
    except ValueError:
        print()

#NUMBER TO CONVERT
number=tk.Entry(root,text='',bd=1)

#CONVERT BUTTON
button=tk.Button(root, text='convert',bd=0,command=clicked)
button.place(x=150,y=17)
y=button.invoke()

def try1():
    try:
        bin(int(number.get()))
    except ValueError:
        print()
def try2():
    try:
        hex(int(number.get()))
    except ValueError:
        print()

#ENTRY BOX HEX
number_hex=tk.Entry(root,text=try2(),bd=1).place(x=60,y=100)
#BIN LABEL AND HEX LABEL
label_top3=tk.Label(root,text='bin').place(x=10,y=75)
label_top4=tk.Label(root,text='hex').place(x=10,y=101)

number.place(x=7,y=20)

Hi, I'm trying to recreate my Figma design, is it possible to make something like the selected layer in Figma? I use Tkinter btw

[mighty rock]

Yes, it is possible

[final escarp]

Thanks , can you show me how? I just started to learn about Python for a while

[mighty rock]

There is a drop down selecting widget like the one shown in the screenshot, and you can always create new secondary windows using a Toplevel widget

Let me find you the menu widget

[final escarp]

ah thank you!

[mighty rock]

It's called OptionMenu, you import it as you import any other tkinter widget

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/tkinter-optionmenu-widget/

This one covers more: https://pythonguides.com/python-tkinter-optionmenu/

[final escarp]

Thanks!

[mighty rock]

You could try tkinter.ttk.ComboBox, too. tkinter.ttk provides new widgets, some of which are remakes of existing widgets. They are supposed to look more.. modern, and you can style some of them more than tkinter widgets.

To style these widgets you need to use a Style object

[buoyant fulcrum]

in my opinion having used both, TTK combo box is much much better than option menu

So guys, I need some help with GUI layout

Does this look like a bad GUI layout?

It's a toplevel window used to edit a specific feature

[magic tide]

Somebody help me?

[ripe shuttle]

Incorrect. There are quite a few such libs.

[mighty rock]

I think it will maybe look better if you had it like a tall window instead of a wide window, because you have, like, a list

[tawdry mulch]

Okay explain what you need

[magic tide]

Ty

I need to get the output of "button" and store it into a variable

But integer

[tawdry mulch]

You dont mean button, you mean the output of the entry

[magic tide]

Oh yes sorry

[tawdry mulch]

Okay not output, input*

Did you do any tkinter tutorials?

[magic tide]

No

I want the output

But i want it after clicking it not when the program is executed

[tawdry mulch]

I might be able to give you the answer here, but you will encounter more problems if you dont go through a basic tutorial and understand how tkinter works

Basically you want to show the output of the functions in the entry widgets after the button is clicked

[magic tide]

Yep

I got tkinter inported as tk

[tawdry mulch]

This is how I would write a code on tkinter

import tkinter as tk

#WORKING ON THE WINDOW
root = tk.Tk()
root.title('HB Converter')
root.geometry('250x130')
root.resizable(False, False)

def clicked():
    # Clear the entries first
    number_bin.delete(0,'end')
    number_hex.delete(0,'end')

    try:
        inp = int(number.get()) # Get the input and covert to int

        # Conver the input
        binary = bin(inp) 
        hexa = hex(inp) 

        # Insert the converted values onto the respective widgets
        number_bin.insert('end',binary)
        number_hex.insert('end',hexa)
    
    except ValueError:
        print('Input proper numbers')
        return

#LABEL INPUT
tk.Label(root,text='INPUT ANYTHING TO CONVERT').pack()

#NUMBER TO CONVERT
number = tk.Entry(root,bd=1)
number.place(x=7,y=20)

#CONVERT BUTTON
button = tk.Button(root, text='convert',bd=0,command=clicked)
button.place(x=150,y=17)

#ENTRY BOX BIN
number_bin = tk.Entry(root,bd=1)
number_bin.place(x=60,y=73)

#ENTRY BOX HEX
number_hex = tk.Entry(root,bd=1)
number_hex.place(x=60,y=100)

#BIN LABEL AND HEX LABEL
tk.Label(root,text='bin').place(x=10,y=75)
tk.Label(root,text='hex').place(x=10,y=101)

root.mainloop()

Look how the code is organized to be readable. Also read https://stackoverflow.com/q/1101750/13382000 to understand the most basic mistakes all the beginner makes with tkinter

Not for a beginner doe

[jolly flower]

is this with tkinter?

[buoyant fulcrum]

Yes

[jolly flower]

looks so clean as if its a C# form app

how is that

like the buttons style

and the sort of text

[buoyant fulcrum]

I used ttk buttons

[jolly flower]

how

its so different

to me

mine looks so garbage and old

idk how people could make some nice form apps look ,like this with tkinter

[buoyant fulcrum]

1 sec

root = Tk()
root.geometry("700x700")        

button1 = tk.Button(root, text = "TK Button")
button1.pack(pady = 10, padx = 10)

button2 = ttk.Button(root, text = "TTK Button")
button2.pack(pady = 10, padx = 10)

root.mainloop()

[jolly flower]

oh

is that yours?

[buoyant fulcrum]

thats just some sample code

[jolly flower]

yea i just want to see how is that

cool

thanks

[buoyant fulcrum]

np

try ComboBoxes too, they are amazing

[jolly flower]

oh

yes

fastest and easiest way to make Linux GUIs?

not using tkinter it's a pain in the ass

[stray jackal]

use Pygame for the hi-res screen and Tkinter for the click - click interface

[buoyant fulcrum]

Pyqt5 is an alternative to Tkinter. It’s difficult to learnt though (so I’ve heard)

[jolly flower]

sus

[full marlin]

Hey, if you want to create good looking GUI, then you can check out this library I made. Its an extension to Tkinter with new widgets and its easy to use: https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter

[stray jackal]

WOWEEEEE!!!

[digital rose]

why does my program crash

it just stops working and says (not responding) everytime

[final escarp]

Cool!

[tawdry mulch]

What program

[magic tide]

Did u insert root.mainloop() at the end of the script?

Root is meant to be the window variable, for example root = Tk()

[ripe shuttle]

Great job man!

[fleet lynx]

How can I update my Tkinter Gui and then return to the main code? So I have a program like this:

while True:
   x = int(input("x:"))
   y = x*x
   update_gui(y) # how do I implement a function like this?

[ripe shuttle]

tk.Tk.update(root)

(assuming you imported tkinter as tk and named your base window as root)

[fleet lynx]

But I want to update the window with some information that I computed ( the variable y in my case) how do I do that?

[ripe shuttle]

For instance, if you were adding the info in the form of a label, you create the label and position it. tkinter would automatically update the gui. I add the tk.Tk.update(root) as good measure.

say you want to update a name.

import tkinter as tk

#YOUR CODE HERE

def update_name():
  Label(root, text=text).pack()
  tk.Tk.update(root)

#Shows the lebel on screen.

[fleet lynx]

It seems to work!!

Do I need root.mainloop anywhere?

[fleet lynx]

This doesn't really work for me. I have a window with just text. I want to be able to scroll in it. Only once in a while the main loop updates the window (in my case it updates some background colours)
With the current code I can't scroll. Only once the complete script is done, I can scroll the Tkinter window.

Any way to fix that (I would guess I need threading)

[river steeple]

@full marlin this is sick

[jolly flower]

i just tried the designer of it and its so amazing

and easy

[jolly flower]

wow

[jolly flower]

there is a designer app

for it

[buoyant fulcrum]

Oh cool

[jolly flower]

it makes you feel like if youre making a C# form app but its with python source

[fierce nova]

can i ask about react + python here or no

[final escarp]

Can you share it for me? Pyqt5 is too hard for me 🥲

nvm found it

[final escarp]

yeah you're right! Let me try to learn PyQt5 instead of Tkinter XD

[sleek hollow]

Does anyone know how I can maintain a stretch (QSpacerItem) at the end of my vbox items?

I have a vbox I dynamically add buttons to but I want it to always end with a stretch

right now I'm thinking of removing the stretch, adding the new button, then adding the stretch back in, but that seems excessive. Can I simply reorder the vbox?

[sleek hollow]

ahh found the solution, there's an insertWidget method

[tawdry mulch]

That doesn't do what u expect it to do

[tawdry mulch]

It is never a good idea to call update unless really necessary

[tawdry mulch]

after() exists

[fleet lynx]

How does it work/ how would you implement it?
I want something like this: ```py

this could also be handled in a class

root = tk.Tk()
txt = tk.Text(root)

put a few lines of text on txt

txt.pack()

while True:
line_num = int(input("line num"))
highlite_line(line_num)

I know how to highlight a line with `txt.tag_options` and so on, but I don't know how to use `after`. Maybe you need an `on_idle` function 🤷

How would you implement highlight_line

[jolly flower]

yea its soo clean

[mild flume]

anyone here a multiprocessing expert?

[crisp pier]

How can I make a window unselectable?

in tkinter

I am trying to make the root not be able to be clicked

so whenever you click it will just pass through it

[mortal crag]

if the entrybox is empty means if u use the get method, u will get an empty string

so maybe u can say like if .get() the entrybox == "" then ...

[final escarp]

ah got it, thanks

Tkinter canvas while drawing sucks at this thing, the line isnt continuous when moise moves so fast

[tawdry mulch]

Arguments that have a keyword, like def func(foo, bar='hey'), here bar is keyword argument or kwarg and foo is positional argument or arg

[mortal crag]

ok noted

[mighty rock]

Right. You can save two points and draw a line between them

[sinful pendant]

Aah i am talking about free hand drawing where u just keep on assing point when a cursor is dragged over it

But the points arent continuous

[mighty rock]

Yeah. I think it might be a limitation of the mouse, its update intervals might not be small enough

I know that Windows doesn't store mouse positions, but rather offsets (notice how each time you start a Windows computer, your mouse is set at the center of the screen)

So in each update, it tells the operating system how right or down it moved

[sinful pendant]

Aah i shouldut intereogate it

It seems like it has missed some points, but then how paint gets this all right

I think i need to manually comnect the dot with revording each last location 😅

Yeah boiii big brain plau 😀

🤣 new problem arrived, that when width is at 10 it still gives some edge problem

I think i need to draw tiny circles

[ripe shuttle]

If you know how to connect two points to form a line then you can take point values at small intervals and connect the points continually.

[sinful pendant]

There is still some issues that when the thickness (width) is larger than 1 u start to notice the jaggedes edges of lines as they are drawn from the normal to the tangent of line

So edges arnt smooth

Hey! I'm programming a typing game with tkinter and I was wondering if anyone had an idea how to make a stylier user interface 🙂

[feral crow]

Looks incredible! Could a text scroll box and plots be integrated with the same look?

[umbral oracle]

what library would u guys recommend for a beginner

to GUIs

[fleet iron]

pyqt

[umbral oracle]

whats the diff between that and pyside other than licence?

[fleet iron]

you can't use pyqt commercially (unless u buy the license)

but you can with pyside

[full marlin]

I can try to implement a TextBox yes, and you can integrate plots with matplotlib and style them yourself, but I can try to create a template maybe

How would I implement a subgraph using NodeGraphQt? The only "example" is very complex and not easy to understand (https://github.com/jchanvfx/NodeGraphQt/, see auto_nodes example)
