Im writing a program so i can practise my spanish grammer. I come from the world of PLC programming and wanted to delve into Python to get 2 birds stoned at once. Below is the code, it however gives me an error on the syntax as its missing the var RandomVerbNumber in the on_change def. I have tried defining it outside of the def structures, but it will always make RandomVerbNumber have an incorrect value.
I have tried looking into classes and the init function. But that's not very clear to me yet.
import gspread
import random
import tkinter as tk
gc = gspread.service_account(filename = 'credentials.json')
SpanishVerbs = gc.open('Spanish Verbs')
worksheet = SpanishVerbs.worksheet("EnglishSpanishList")
EnglishList = worksheet.col_values(1)
SpanishList = worksheet.col_values(2)
AmountOfRows = len(worksheet.col_values(1))
def on_next(event):
RandomVerbNumber = random.randint(0,AmountOfRows)
EnglishVerbLabel.config(text = EnglishList[RandomVerbNumber])
print(EnglishList[RandomVerbNumber]," = ",SpanishList[RandomVerbNumber])
def on_change(event):
if SpanishEntry.get() == SpanishList[RandomVerbNumber]:
ResultLabel.config(text = "Correct")
else:
ResultLabel.config(text = "Incorrect")
SpanishEntry.delete(0, tk.END)
root = tk.Tk()
QuestionLabel = tk.Label(root, text = "Spanish Verb for:")
EnglishVerbLabel = tk.Label(root)
ResultLabel = tk.Label(root)
SpanishEntry = tk.Entry(root)
root.bind("<Return>", on_change)
buttonNext = tk.Button(root, text="Next", fg="black")
buttonNext.bind("<Button-1>", on_next)
QuestionLabel.grid(row=0, sticky=tk.E)
EnglishVerbLabel.grid(row=0, column=1)
SpanishEntry.grid(row=1, columnspan=2)
buttonNext.grid(row=2, columnspan=2)
ResultLabel.grid(row=3, columnspan=2)
root.mainloop()
RandomVerbNumber is not defined in the function on_change. Why do you think it would be defined?
There does exist a variabel RandomVerbNumber in another function, but that's outside of the scope of on_change. Variables only exists within their scope.
You can pass a randomised array defined in main as an argument into both methods, holding the index values of the words and pop the index value in the on_next method. Your edited code is below, my edits are marked with NOTE tags.
This method works because python lists are passed by reference.
import gspread
import random
import tkinter as tk
gc = gspread.service_account(filename = 'credentials.json')
SpanishVerbs = gc.open('Spanish Verbs')
worksheet = SpanishVerbs.worksheet("EnglishSpanishList")
EnglishList = worksheet.col_values(1)
SpanishList = worksheet.col_values(2)
AmountOfRows = len(worksheet.col_values(1))
#NOTE:
randomisedList = random.sample(range(AmountOfRows), AmountOfRows)
#NOTE: event argument removed
def on_next(list):
EnglishVerbLabel.config(text = EnglishList[RandomVerbNumber])
print(EnglishList[RandomVerbNumber]," = ",SpanishList[RandomVerbNumber])
list.pop()
#NOTE: event argument removed
def on_change(list):
#NOTE:
if SpanishEntry.get() == SpanishList[list[-1]]:
ResultLabel.config(text = "Correct")
else:
ResultLabel.config(text = "Incorrect")
SpanishEntry.delete(0, tk.END)
root = tk.Tk()
QuestionLabel = tk.Label(root, text = "Spanish Verb for:")
EnglishVerbLabel = tk.Label(root)
ResultLabel = tk.Label(root)
SpanishEntry = tk.Entry(root)
#NOTE:
root.bind("<Return>", lambda event, list=randomisedList: on_change(list))
buttonNext = tk.Button(root, text="Next", fg="black")
#NOTE:
buttonNext.bind("<Button-1>", lambda event, list=randomisedList: on_next(list))
QuestionLabel.grid(row=0, sticky=tk.E)
EnglishVerbLabel.grid(row=0, column=1)
SpanishEntry.grid(row=1, columnspan=2)
buttonNext.grid(row=2, columnspan=2)
ResultLabel.grid(row=3, columnspan=2)

I need to get the string that was entered into the text entry field freek. I have tried to assign that string to input_a, but the string doesn't show up.
Right now, input_a doesn't get anything assigned to it and seems to stay blank. I had the same function working before implementing a GUI, so the problem shouldn't lie with the def zandkasteel.
To be honest I really don't know what to try at this point, if you happen to have any insights, please do share and help out this newbie programmer in need.
Here are some simple modifications to your code that shows how to get the string in the Text widget when it's needed — specifically when the zandkasteel() function gets called in response to the user clicking on the Print button.
import random
import tkinter as tk
frame = tk.Tk()
frame.title("koeweils baldadige encyptor")

freek = tk.Text(frame, height=5, width=20)
freek.pack()
def zandkasteel():
input_a = freek.get(1.0, "end-1c")
print(f'{input_a=}')
fruit = 0
fad = input_a[fruit:fruit+1]
print(f'{fad=}')

So I am writing a Python program in class that uses the Caesar cipher to take a users input and output it as cipher-text. Since i had a lot more time for this project I planned on giving it a GUI in Tkinter. But when I assign the resulted cipher-text to a label it won't display it and keeps it blank. I'm a noob to python and even more to Tkinter so I'm not too keen on being able to fix these issues myself. Here's the code:
import string
import collections
import random
import tkinter
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
root = Tk()
root.title("Encoder")
root.geometry("500x400")
def caesar(rotate_string, number_to_rotate_by):
upper = collections.deque(string.ascii_uppercase)
lower = collections.deque(string.ascii_lowercase)
upper.rotate(number_to_rotate_by)
lower.rotate(number_to_rotate_by)
upper = ''.join(list(upper))
lower = ''.join(list(lower))
return rotate_string.translate(str.maketrans(string.ascii_uppercase, upper)).translate(str.maketrans(string.ascii_lowercase, lower))
def callback():
print (code)
b = Button(root, text="get", width=10, command=callback)
b.pack()
var = StringVar()
e = Entry(root, textvariable = var)
e.pack()
our_string = e.get()
random_number = random.randint(1,25)
code = caesar(our_string, random_number)
l = Label(root, textvariable=code, anchor=NW, justify=LEFT, wraplength=398)
l.pack()
l.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor=CENTER)
root.mainloop()
There are several issues with the code you've posted. First and foremost, your callback doesn't do anything besides print the code variable. You need to move your call to caesar and the associated code into the callback, like so
def callback():
global code
our_string = e.get()
random_number = random.randint(1, 25)
code.set(caesar(our_string, random_number))
The second issue that I see is that you need to use a StringVar as the textvariable argument in your Label constructor in order to get the label to update automatically. When all is said and done, my version of your code looks like
import string
import collections
import random
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
root = Tk()
root.title("Encoder")
root.geometry("500x400")
code = StringVar()
code.set('Hello')
def caesar(rotate_string, number_to_rotate_by):
upper = collections.deque(string.ascii_uppercase)
lower = collections.deque(string.ascii_lowercase)
upper.rotate(number_to_rotate_by)
lower.rotate(number_to_rotate_by)
upper = ''.join(list(upper))
lower = ''.join(list(lower))
return rotate_string.translate(str.maketrans(string.ascii_uppercase, upper)).translate(str.maketrans(string.ascii_lowercase, lower))
def callback():
global code
our_string = e.get()
random_number = random.randint(1, 25)
code.set(caesar(our_string, random_number))
b = Button(root, text="get", width=10, command=callback)
b.pack()
var = StringVar()
e = Entry(root, textvariable=var)
e.pack()
l = Label(root, textvariable=code, anchor=NW, justify=LEFT, wraplength=398)
l.pack()
l.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor=CENTER)
root.mainloop()
This seems to do what you'd expect.
I want to make a dictionary by using a GUI, I was thinking of making two entries, one for the object and the other for the key. And I want to make a button that execute the information and add it to the empty dictionary.
from tkinter import *
fL = {}
def commando(fL):
fL.update({x:int(y)})
root = Tk()
root.title("Spam Words")
label_1 = Label(root, text="Say a word: ", bg="#333333", fg="white")
label_2 = Label(root, text="Give it a value, 1-10:", bg="#333333", fg="white")
entry_1 = Entry(root, textvariable=x)
entry_2 = Entry(root, textvariable=y)
label_1.grid(row=1)
label_2.grid(row=3)
entry_1.grid(row=2, column=0)
entry_2.grid(row=4, column=0)
but = Button(root, text="Execute", bg="#333333", fg="white", command=commando)
but.grid(row=5, column=0)
root.mainloop()
I want to use that dictionary later in my main program. You see if it would be a function, I would just go in IDLE and do..
def forbiddenOrd():
fL = {}
uppdate = True
while uppdate:
x = input('Object')
y = input('Key')
if x == 'Klar':
break
else:
fL.update({x:int(y)})
return fL
And then just use the function further on in my program
Any suggestions?
I appreciate it. Thank you
You are close to achieving what you want. There are a few modifications that need to be made. First, lets start with the entry boxes entry_1 and entry_2. Using a text variable like you did is a good approach; however I did not see them defined, so here they are:
x = StringVar()
y = StringVar()
Next, we need to change how you call the commando function and what parameters you pass though it. I want to pass the x and y values though, but I can't do this by just using something like command=commando(x.get(), y.get()), I need to use lambda as follows:
but = Button(root, text="Execute", bg="#333333", fg="white", command=lambda :commando(x.get(), y.get()))
Now why did I pass the values x and y as x.get() and y.get()? In order to get the values from a tkinter variable such as x and y, we need to use .get().
Finally, let's fix the commando function. You cannot use it as you did with fL being the parameter. This is because any parameter you set there becomes a private variable to that function even if it appears elsewhere in you code. In other words, defining a function as def commando(fL): will prevent the fL dictionary outside the function from being assessed within commando. How do you fix this? Use different parameters. Since we are passing x and y into the function, let's use those as parameter names. This is how our function looks now:
def commando(x, y):
fL.update({x:int(y)})
This will create new items in your dictionary. Here is the completed code:
from tkinter import *
fL = {}
def commando(x, y):
fL.update({x:int(y)}) # Please note that these x and y vars are private to this function. They are not the x and y vars as defined below.
print(fL)
root = Tk()
root.title("Spam Words")
x = StringVar() # Creating the variables that will get the user's input.
y = StringVar()
label_1 = Label(root, text="Say a word: ", bg="#333333", fg="white")
label_2 = Label(root, text="Give it a value, 1-10:", bg="#333333", fg="white")
entry_1 = Entry(root, textvariable=x)
entry_2 = Entry(root, textvariable=y)
label_1.grid(row=1)
label_2.grid(row=3)
entry_1.grid(row=2, column=0)
entry_2.grid(row=4, column=0)
but = Button(root, text="Execute", bg="#333333", fg="white", command=lambda :commando(x.get(), y.get())) # Note the use of lambda and the x and y variables.
but.grid(row=5, column=0)
root.mainloop()
So I've written a python script that uses the PIL library to format a png passed to it. I want to make the script more user friendly and after looking around I saw the Tkinter library which seemed perfect. Basically the script has five variables that I need to pass to it for it to run. I'm currently using the raw_input() function to asking the user for the following variables:
path_to_png
title
subtitle
source
sample_size
Once received the script runs and exports the formatted png. I've used Tkinter to build those basic inputs as you can see from the picture below but I don't know how to pass the inputed text values and the file path from the choose png button to their respective variables.
from Tkinter import *
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
from tkMessageBox import *
app = Tk()
app.title("Picture Formatting")
app.geometry('500x350+200+200')
#
def callback():
chart_path = askopenfilename()
return
def title_data():
title_data = chart_title
return
errmsg = 'Error!'
browse_botton = Button(app, text="Choose png", width=15, command=callback)
browse_botton.pack(side='top', padx=15, pady=15)
# Get chart data
chart_title = StringVar()
title = Entry(app, textvariable = chart_title)
title.pack(padx=15, pady=15)
chart_subtitle = StringVar()
subtitle = Entry(app, textvariable = chart_subtitle)
subtitle.pack(padx=15, pady=15)
chart_source = StringVar()
source = Entry(app, textvariable = chart_source)
source.pack(padx=15, pady=15)
chart_sample_size = IntVar()
sample_size = Entry(app, textvariable = chart_sample_size)
sample_size.pack(padx=15, pady=15)
submit_button = Button(app, text="Submit", width=15)
submit_button.pack(side='bottom', padx=15, pady=15)
app.mainloop()
I have tried your code, and I added some lines:
from Tkinter import *
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
from tkMessageBox import *
app = Tk()
app.title("Picture Formatting")
app.geometry('500x350+200+200')
#
def callback():
global chart_path
chart_path = askopenfilename()
return
def title_data():
title_data = chart_title
return
def calculate():
chart_title = title.get()
chart_subtitle = subtitle.get()
chart_source = source.get()
chart_sample_size = sample_size.get()
print "chart_path : ", chart_path
print "chart_title : ", chart_title
print "chart_subtitle : ", chart_subtitle
print "chart_source : ", chart_source
print "chart_sample_size : ", chart_sample_size
#Call your functions here
return
errmsg = 'Error!'
# Get chart data
chart_path = ''
browse_botton = Button(app, text="Choose png", width=15, command=callback)
browse_botton.pack(side='top', padx=15, pady=15)
chart_title = StringVar()
title = Entry(app, textvariable = chart_title)
title.pack(padx=15, pady=15)
chart_subtitle = StringVar()
subtitle = Entry(app, textvariable = chart_subtitle)
subtitle.pack(padx=15, pady=15)
chart_source = StringVar()
source = Entry(app, textvariable = chart_source)
source.pack(padx=15, pady=15)
chart_sample_size = IntVar()
sample_size = Entry(app, textvariable = chart_sample_size)
sample_size.pack(padx=15, pady=15)
submit_button = Button(app, text="Submit", width=15, command=calculate)
submit_button.pack(side='bottom', padx=15, pady=15)
app.mainloop()
I think the problem you want to ask is how to get the text values in the entry widgets and get the path text from the askopenfilename() function. You can use the method Entry.get() to get the text value in certain entry widget.
And you can just use str = askopenfilename() to get the path's text value. But because this line of code is written in a function, you need to declare that it is a global variable or create a class to contain them, or the interpreter will consider that variable is an local variable and it will not be passed to the function calculate() which I added.
Since you didn't use a class to contain the variables, I also use the variables as global variables. It is not a good design. You can consider to create a class instead.
In order to receive the value from an entry widget, you would want to use the get() function. The get() function will return whatever is in the entry widget. For instance in your case: response = sample_size.get() will set the variable response to 0. See this page for more documentation on the entry widget.
Hope this helped.
I would like to ask how would I go about maybe creating a 'LIVE' text box in python? This program is a simulator for a vending machine (code below). I want there to be a text box showing a live credit update How do you do that in tkinter?
For Example: Say there is a box for credit with 0 inside it in the middle of the window. When the 10p button is pressed the box for credit should change from '0' to '0.10'.
Is it possible to do thit in tkinter and python 3.3.2?
Thank you in advance!
import sys
import tkinter as tk
credit = 0
choice = 0
credit1 = 0
coins = 0
prices = [200,150,160,50,90]
item = 0
i = 0
temp=0
n=0
choice1 = 0
choice2 = 0
credit1 = 0
coins = 0
prices = [200,150,160,50,90]
item = 0
i = 0
temp=0
n=0
choice1 = 0
choice2 = 0
def addTENp():
global credit
credit+=0.10
def addTWENTYp():
global credit
credit+=0.20
def addFIFTYp():
global credit
credit+=0.50
def addPOUND():
global credit
credit+=1.00
def insert():
insert = Tk()
insert.geometry("480x360")
iLabel = Label(insert, text="Enter coins.[Press Buttons]").grid(row=1, column=1)
tenbutton = Button(insert, text="10p", command = addTENp).grid(row=2, column=1)
twentybutton = Button(insert, text="20p", command = addTWENTYp).grid(row=3, column=1)
fiftybutton = Button(insert, text="50p", command = addFIFTYp).grid(row=4, column=1)
poundbutton = Button(insert, text="£1", command = addPOUND).grid(row=5, column=1)
insert()
Sure you can! Just add another label to the frame, and update the text attribute whenever one of your add functions is called. Also, you can simplify that code, using one add function for all the different amounts.
def main():
frame = Tk()
frame.geometry("480x360")
Label(frame, text="Enter coins.[Press Buttons]").grid(row=1, column=1)
display = Label(frame, text="") # we need this Label as a variable!
display.grid(row=2, column=1)
def add(amount):
global credit
credit += amount
display.configure(text="%.2f" % credit)
Button(frame, text="10p", command=lambda: add(.1)).grid(row=3, column=1)
Button(frame, text="20p", command=lambda: add(.2)).grid(row=4, column=1)
Button(frame, text="50p", command=lambda: add(.5)).grid(row=5, column=1)
Button(frame, text="P1", command=lambda: add(1.)).grid(row=6, column=1)
frame.mainloop()
main()
Some more points:
note that you define many of your variables twice
you should not give a variable the same name as a function, as this will shadow the function
probably just a copy paste error, but you forgot to call mainloop and your tkinter import is inconsistent with the way you use the classes (without tk prefix)
you can do the layout right after creating the GUI elements, but note that in this case not the GUI element will be bound to the variable, but the result of the layouting function, which is None
Borrowing a framework from tobias_k's excellent answer, I would recommend you use a DoubleVar instead.
from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter as tk
def main():
frame = Tk()
frame.geometry("480x360")
credit = tk.DoubleVar(frame, value=0)
# credit = tk.StringVar(frame, value="0")
ttk.Label(frame, textvariable = credit).pack()
def add_credit(amt):
global credit
credit.set(credit.get() + amt)
# new_credit = str(int(credit.get().replace(".",""))+amt)
# credit.set(new_credit[:-2]+"."+new_credit[-2:])
ttk.Button(frame, text="10p", command = lambda: add_credit(0.1)).pack()
# ttk.Button(frame, text="10p", command = lambda: add_credit(10)).pack()
ttk.Button(frame, text="20p", command = lambda: add_credit(0.2)).pack()
# ttk.Button(frame, text="20p", command = lambda: add_credit(20)).pack()
ttk.Button(frame, text="50p", command = lambda: add_credit(0.5)).pack()
# ttk.Button(frame, text="50p", command = lambda: add_credit(50)).pack()
ttk.Button(frame, text="P1", command = lambda: add_credit(1.0)).pack()
# ttk.Button(frame, text="P1", command = lambda: add_credit(100)).pack()
frame.mainloop()
The comments in that code is an alternate implementation that will work better, if only just. This will guarantee you won't have any strange floating-point errors in your code.
