Time.update_time is also cool

yeah idk moving the update_all_tabs() function below the tab creation just creates another error, and for some reason the first tab "street" isn't returning an error at all
even though it's also created after the function is used
shell sphinx
yeah idk moving the update_all_tabs() function below the tab creation just creat...
moving the function will not change anything
you need a variable defined at the time that a function is ran

use debugger and check where update_all_tabs is called, seems like it's called way before all these xxx_tab's are initialized

well the issue is the tab in the notebook system I'm trying to create, but attempting to create the tab before using the function also results in an error
but yeah repositioning the function is useless
shell sphinx
class StreetTab(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, notebook, update_all_tabs): ...
my IDE is telling me that notebook is unused in the init

The error is because of how you have things set up. StreetTab's __init__ calls autowork, autowork calls update_time, and update_time calls update_all_tabs. Granted, autowork is called in a delayed callback, but if it runs before finance_tab = has run, that will cause that error.

First, I don't see why you're passing that function around in the first place. update_all_tabs is a global function (not the problem, just odd).
tepid owl
Uh well I was having trouble getting variables synchronized across tabs
So I created a function that calls to update those variables across the tabs since each tab is a class
fallen plinth
Unless you do a large refactor, you might just need to do something like give the Tab classes a start method that kicks off the after(self.autowork()) calls so you can control when update_all_tabs is called.
tepid owl
Like kinda delay it for a moment so it can get to the tab creation?
fallen plinth
That's not great since that's effectively a second initializer that you need to remember to call, but I don't see how else you'd fix this with how the code is set up currently/
tepid owl
Yeah this is definitely a learning experience trying to throw it together for a simple idle game, it's all scope errors and this is my third attempt
fallen plinth
Like kinda delay it for a moment so it can get to the tab creation?
I mean on like line 704, call each tab's start method after all the tabs have been created.
Actually, it seems like all the start method would need to do it change the state of autowork_enabled.
And then you'd just start that BooleanVar as False.
tepid owl
omg that worked
fallen plinth
Actually, that might be an abuse of that state.
fallen plinth
omg that worked
Ok, good. I'm glad. You're welcome.
tepid owl
Yeah big thanks, that was driving me crazy. Should I close this question out?
fallen plinth
Might as well. You can always open another thread later if you need to.
tepid owl
Aight thanks again
fallen plinth
Also, FYI, that site you linked to is kind of a pain to use since it loads lazily, which breaks search and scrolling. This would be better:
!paste

Bookmarked, appreciate it
