'str' object has no attribute 'plot'

Consistently getting above stated error when I try to call a function using the tkinter button.
So here is the example code used for this particular issue.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog
import pandas as pd
import os
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
root = tk.Tk()
root.withdraw()
file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename() #will open file from any location, does not need to be in the same place as the code script
df = pd.read_csv(file_path)
df.rename(columns={'Unnamed: 0':'Type'}, inplace=True) #renames the first unnamed column to type (drug available (DA) or not available (NA)
df.dropna(how = 'all', axis = 1, inplace = True) #drops the empty column present in each dataset, only drops it if the whole column is empty
##plotting functions for both active and inactive pokes
def ActivePokes(df):
df.plot(figsize = (12,7.5),
xlabel = 'Number of active pokes', ylabel = 'Sessions',
title = 'Number of Active Pokes vs Drug Availability')
plt.xticks(range(0,len(df.Type)), df.Type)
def InactivePokes(df):
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = (12,7.5)
df.plot()
plt.xticks(range(0,len(df.Type)), df.Type)
plt.ylabel("Number of Inactive Pokes")
plt.xlabel("Sessions")
plt.title("Number of Inactive Pokes vs Drug Availability")
plt.show()
def show(df):
if variable.get() == options[1]:
ActivePokes(df)
elif variable.get() == options[2]:
InactivePokes(df)
else:
print("Error!")
options = [ "Choose Option",
"1. Active pokes, Drug Available and No Drug Available sessions",
"2. Inactive pokes, Drug Available and No Drug Available sessions"]
button = Tk()
button.title("Dialog Window")
button.geometry('500x90')
variable = StringVar(button)
variable.set(options[0]) #default value, might change and edit as time passes
option = OptionMenu(button, variable, *options, command = show)
option.pack()
button.mainloop()
However, the error I keep receiving is this:
Is there any way this can be rectified and I can still produce the graphs needed while using the tkinter button?

The option Menu automatically passes the selected option to the command. Since you named the argument df in the function, the logical connection is df = contentained_string_of_optionmenu in the namespace of your function. However, since df origionally is a dataframe, you should just have to rename the argument/parameter of your function like:
def show(opt):
In addition it makes the StringVar useless since you can do:
if opt == options[1]:
ActivePokes(df)
elif opt == options[2]:
InactivePokes(df)
else:
print("Error!")
You might also choose to clear the argument df elsewhere since it's in the global namespace.

Button callback function not completely executed by Panel library in Python

I am currently struggling trying to use the panel library in Python, in order to build an interactive dashboard to analyze and display CSV data. My current goal is to let the user enter an initial and a final date, which will be used to filter a DataFrame once a button is pressed. However, whenever I press the button, the on_click function is not completely executed before the script stops running. The code snippet is the following:
import panel as pn
pn.extension()
def acquire_data(dateBeginning, dateEnd):
eventDF = pd.read_csv('multi.csv')
eventDF['Date']= pd.to_datetime(eventDF['Date'])
dateDF = eventDF[eventDF.upvotes > 8]
print(eventDF)
def register_dates(event, save=True):
dateBeginning = date1Picker.value
dateEnd = date2Picker.value
if dateBeginning < dateEnd:
text = pn.widgets.StaticText(name='Static Text', value='A string')
spinner = pn.indicators.LoadingSpinner(width=50, height=50, value=True, color='info', bgcolor='light')
layout = pn.Column(text, spinner, align='center')
layout.app()
print('getting in')
acquire_data(dateBeginning, dateEnd)
print('getting out')
spinner.value = False
else:
print('Not working')
#pn.pane.Alert('## Alert\nThis is a warning!')
return save
date1Picker = pn.widgets.DatePicker(name='Date Initiale', margin=25)
date2Picker = pn.widgets.DatePicker(name='Date Finale', margin=25)
button = pn.widgets.Button(name="Analyse", button_type='primary', margin=(25, 0, 20, 200), width=200)
button.on_click(register_dates)
dateLayout = pn.Row(date1Picker, date2Picker)
layout = pn.Column(dateLayout, button, width=200, align='center')
layout.app()
I was also aiming at having the first layout be replaced by the one with the spinner and the text once the button is pressed, but I haven't found anything in the doc mentioning how to do so. If anyone could give me a hint regarding these issues, that would really help me!

In def acquire_data(dateBeginning, dateEnd):
pd.read_csv('multi.csv'), pd.to_datetime(eventDF['Date'])
For start, in this function I think you forgot to import panda and your app just crash.
add: import pandas as pd
Ex:
import panel as pn
import pandas as pd

How to justify the characters in drop-down list of a Combobox?

How to justify the values listed in drop-down part of a ttk.Combobox? I have tried justify='center' but that seems to only configure the selected item. Could use a resource link too if there is, I couldn't find it.
try: # In order to be able to import tkinter for
import tkinter as tk # either in python 2 or in python 3
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
except ImportError:
import Tkinter as tk
import ttk
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = tk.Tk()
cbb = ttk.Combobox(root, justify='center', values=(0, 1, 2))
cbb.pack()
root.mainloop()

I have a one-liner solution. Use the .option_add() method after declaring ttk.Combobox. Example:
cbb = ttk.Combobox(root, justify='center', values=(0, 1, 2)) # original
cbb.option_add('*TCombobox*Listbox.Justify', 'center') # new line added

Here's one pure Python way that gets close to what you want. The items in the dropdown list all get justified to fit within the Combobox's width (or a default value will be used).
Update
Part of the reason the initial version of my answer wasn't quite right was because the code assumed that a fixed-width font was being used. That's not the case on my test platform at least, so I've modified the code to actually measure the width of values in pixels instead of whole characters, and do essentially what it did originally, but in those units of string-length measure.
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.font as tkFont
from tkinter import ttk
class CenteredCombobox(ttk.Combobox):
DEFAULT_WIDTH = 20 # Have read that 20 is the default width of an Entry.
def __init__(self, master=None, **kwargs):
values = kwargs.get('values')
if values:
entry = ttk.Entry(None) # Throwaway for getting the default font.
font = tkFont.Font(font=entry['font'])
space_width = font.measure(' ')
entry_width = space_width * kwargs.get('width', self.DEFAULT_WIDTH)
widths = [font.measure(str(value)) for value in values]
longest = max(entry_width, *widths)
justified_values = []
for value, value_width in zip(values, widths):
space_needed = (longest-value_width) / 2
spaces_needed = int(space_needed / space_width)
padding = ' ' * spaces_needed
justified_values.append(padding + str(value))
kwargs['values'] = tuple(justified_values)
super().__init__(master, **kwargs)
root = tk.Tk()
ccb = CenteredCombobox(root, justify='center', width=10, values=('I', 'XLII', 'MMXVIII'))
ccb.pack()
root.mainloop()

(Edit: Note that this solution works for Tcl/Tk versions 8.6.5 and above. #CommonSense notes that some tkinter installations may not be patched yet,
and this solution will not work).
In Tcl ( I don't know python, so one of the python people can edit the question).
A combobox is an amalgamation of an 'entry' widget and a 'listbox' widget. Sometimes to make the configuration changes you want, you need to access the internal widgets directly.
Tcl:
% ttk::combobox .cb -values [list a abc def14 kjsdf]
.cb
% pack .cb
% set pd [ttk::combobox::PopdownWindow .cb]
.cb.popdown
% set lb $pd.f.l
.cb.popdown.f.l
% $lb configure -justify center
Python:
cb = ttk.Combobox(value=['a', 'abc', 'def14', 'kjsdf'])
cb.pack()
pd = cb.tk.call('ttk::combobox::PopdownWindow', cb)
lb = cb.tk.eval('return {}.f.l'.format(pd))
cb.tk.eval('{} configure -justify center'.format(lb))
Some caveats. The internals of ttk::combobox are subject to change.
Not likely, not anytime soon, but in the future, the hard-coded .f.l
could change.
ttk::combobox::PopdownWindow will force the creation of the listbox when it is called. A better method is to put the centering adjustment into
a procedure and call that procedure when the combobox/listbox is mapped.
This will run for all comboboxes, you will need to check the argument
in the proc to make sure that this is the combobox you want to adjust.
proc cblbhandler { w } {
if { $w eq ".cb" } {
set pd [ttk::combobox::PopdownWindow $w]
set lb $pd.f.l
$lb configure -justify center
}
}
bind ComboboxListbox <Map> +[list ::cblbhandler %W]

After digging through combobox.tcl source code I've come up with the following subclass of ttk.Combobox. JustifiedCombobox justifies the pop-down list's items almost precisely after1 pop-down list's been first created & customized and then displayed. After the pop-down list's been created, setting self.justify value to a valid one will again, customize the justification almost right after the pop-down list's first been displayed. Enjoy:

1 It basically makes use of bindtag event queue. This was mostly possible thanks to being able to creating a custom bindtag.

Change the color of a single word in a tk option menu?

So I'm grabbing links of events off a website and putting them into a drop down menu to be selected. My code for the menu:
import Tkinter as tk
from Tkinter import StringVar
selectMenu = tk.Tk()
# #-> this is what I have
# Followed by what you can use
#var = Vars()
#events = var.GetVars('Event')
events = " "
options = []
links = []
#forms = (driver.find_elements_by_class_name("with-cats")) #This is what I have
forms = ["Yolo ","Dad? Closed","Anotha One","Normies! Closed"] #This is so you can try it for yourself
for x in forms:
#info = x.text
info = x #Again, this is so you can try it for yourself
if events in info.lower():
links.append(x)
for link in range(0,len(links)):
#options.append(links[link].text)
options.append(links[link])
list(set(options))
selection = []
for link in range(0,len(options)):
selection.append(options[link])
select = StringVar(selectMenu)
select.set("--None Selected--")
menu = tk.OptionMenu(selectMenu, select, *(selection))
msg = "Which one would you like to attend?"
label = tk.Label(selectMenu, text=msg, font="Helvedica 14")
label.pack(side='top', pady=10)
menu.pack(side="top", pady=10)
selectMenu.attributes('-topmost', True)
selectMenu.mainloop()
So this works fine and dandy, but I would like to improve the look to make it more obvious which events are open. To clarify, an event found that is open and put into the menu may look like "This is a cool event", but one that is closed would be read as "This is a cool event Closed". My aim is to be able to make the foreground red of either just the word Closed or the string containing Closed, whichever is possible if any (And I'm not sure if it's possible because menus and buttons on osx are usually defaulted to system settings, maybe there is a way around this?).
Current: Desired:

According to the documentation for OptionMenu here and here I don't think there is a way to set the color of text.
You might be able to get something close to what you want by using a listBox instead. See post here for the listBox example.

Found a solution! Using a Menu inside of a MenuButton the same way Tkinter creates MenuOptions, I was able to create a custom MenuOption. If you want to add more options, you can use the menbutton.configure() option to edit the button, and menbutton.menu to edit the menu items.
import Tkinter as tk
from Tkinter import Menu, Menubutton
class Vars():
global vari
vari = {}
def GetVars(self, var):
return vari.get(str(var))
def SendVars(self, var, val):
vari[str(var)] = val
class App():
def buttselect(self, link, menbutton, selectMenu):
var = Vars()
var.SendVars("Selection", link) # Store selected event
menbutton.configure(text=link) # Set menu text to the selected event
def prnt(self, link):
var = Vars()
print var.GetVars("Selection") # Print event
def __init__(self, selectMenu):
events = " "
options = []
links = []
forms = ["Yolo ","Dad? Closed","Anotha One","Normies! Closed"] #This is so you can try it for yourself
menbutton = Menubutton (selectMenu, text="--None Selected--", relief="raised")
menbutton.grid()
menbutton.menu = Menu (menbutton, tearoff=0)
menbutton["menu"] = menbutton.menu
#Get a list of event names
for x in forms:
info = x #Again, this is so you can try it for yourself
#If desired event keyword is in an event name, add it to the correct links
if events in info.lower():
links.append(x)
#Remove duplicates
for link in range(0,len(links)):
options.append(links[link])
list(set(options))
#Final list of event names turned into menu commands
for link in options:
if "Closed" in link:
menbutton.menu.add_command( label= link, command= lambda link=link: self.buttselect(link, menbutton, selectMenu), foreground='red')
else:
menbutton.menu.add_command( label= link, command= lambda link=link: self.buttselect(link, menbutton, selectMenu))
b = tk.Button(selectMenu, text="Selection", command= lambda link=link: self.prnt(link)) #Print selected event
b.pack()
msg = "Which one would you like to attend?"
label = tk.Label(selectMenu, text=msg, font="Helvedica 14")
label.pack(side='top', pady=10)
menbutton.pack(side="top", pady=10)
selectMenu = tk.Tk()
selectMenu.attributes('-topmost', True)
app = App(selectMenu)
selectMenu.mainloop()
This results in exactly the result desired:

I found a way!
Let's say x is an optionmenu with options:
options=['Red','Blue','Green']
defopt=tk.StringVar(options[0]) #StringVariable to hold the selected option.
x=tk.OptionMenu(self.optmenuframe,defopt,*options)
Now, get the menu object from the optionmenu and use entryconfig method. That's it!
x.children['menu'].entryconfig(0,foreground='red')
x.children['menu'].entryconfig(1,foreground='blue')
x.children['menu'].entryconfig(2,foreground='green')
#0 is the index of the option you want to apply the configurations to.

Cannot get LabelFrame widget to display on ttk notebook (python 3.5.1)

I have an application in which the (tkinter) LabelFrame widget on the tab of a ttk Notebook will not update itself. In a much simplified version of that program (code extracts below) the widget will not even appear on the GUI.
Everything else on the GUI works properly, including updating the tab titles, the application title (and icon) and updating the Label, Checkbutton and Radiobutton widgets on all notebook tabs. Using the ttk versions (e.g. ttk.LabelFrame) to create those widgets did not fix the issue. I also tried using “update_idletasks” (some think this as a kludge) immediately after updating the widget attributes without success.
In the real application the text of all GUI widgets change according to the state of a “choose language” widget on the same GUI (for details, see: Need Python/tkinter GUI to dynamically update itself (for a multi-lingual GUI)). It’s known that all GUI text values (the WidgetName["text”] attribute), including the missing LabelFrame, are being correctly updated to match the state of that widget.
Is there something “special” about LabelFrame widgets on Notebook tabs? What (probably simple) thing am I overlooking?
Also, any confirmation/denial by others will help determine if the problem is unique to my system - a distinct possiblity since my machine is administered by corporate IM (who don't have the best record when handling the needs of unusual users like me).
Thanks
The following is a complete example of the problem. When run, the LabelFrame widget (which should appear at (0, 0) of Tab 1) does not appear. Clicking on the "language" widget causes everything else to display text in the language selected by the "language" widget.

The "one user" (no admin rights) version of Pydev was used, this required Microsoft patch KB2999226 (part of Win10) to run on Win7. Eventual target distribution is a 32-bit Windows app (so it can run on 32 & 64 bit Windows) - and if/when time permits - Linux.
There’s one minor complication to keep in mind: In the real program several packages are being used. Inside each package each function is isolated inside its own file. All objects (e.g. the tkinter widgets) that must be externally visible (or need be shared amongst the package’s files) are declared in the package’s _ _ init.py _ _ file. Functions that must be externally visible are explicitly imported into _ _ init.py _ _ by using relative imports (e.g. “from .Function1 import Function1” ).

Your title is misleading because you place the LabelFrame in a Frame, not directly on a Notebook tab. Your problem is that the labelframe does not appear in its parent frame. The Notebook is irrelevant and all associated code should have been deleted before posting.
Even the frame is irrelevant in that the same problem arises when putting the labelframe directly in root. Here is minimal code that demonstrate both the problem and a solution.
from tkinter import Tk
from tkinter import ttk
root = Tk()
lf1 = ttk.LabelFrame(root, text='labelframe 1')
lf2 = ttk.LabelFrame(root, text='labelframe 2', width=200, height=100)
lf1.pack()
lf2.pack()
I ran this on Win 10 with 3.6a2, which comes with tk 8.6.4. Only lf2 is visible because the default size of a labelframe, as with a frame, is 0 x 0. A non-default size arises either from explicit sizing or from contents. Somewhat surprisingly, the label does not count as content and does not force a non-default size. I reproduced the same result with the labelframe in a frame (your situation) and on a tab.
