I am attempting to create a GUI that allows for users to copy and paste data straight into the interface. There will be three columns and anywhere between 1 - 500 rows with the possibility of 3,000+ The raw text will come via email, word, PDF, or excel so I need the user input field to be similar to excel in that you can copy/paste more than 1 line at a time.
I have followed a couple YouTube guides on creating tables/grids with tkinter however I cannot figure out a way to allow text entry via copy/paste.
One of the only ways I found to make tables with tkinter since tktable isn't a part of it is the following example. This still does not allow for user input via copy/paste.
class Table:
def __init__(self,root):
# code for creating table
for i in range(total_rows):
for j in range(total_columns):
self.e = Entry(root, width=20, fg='blue',
font=('Arial',16,'bold'))
self.e.grid(row=i, column=j)
self.e.insert(END, lst[i][j])
# take the data
lst = [(1,'Raj','Mumbai',19),
(2,'Aaryan','Pune',18),
(3,'Vaishnavi','Mumbai',20),
(4,'Rachna','Mumbai',21),
(5,'Shubham','Delhi',21)]
# find total number of rows and
# columns in list
total_rows = len(lst)
total_columns = len(lst[0])
# create root window
root = Tk()
t = Table(root)
root.mainloop()
Can anyone suggest an alternative to tkinter or point me in the direction of a guide for this type of user input?
I finally figured out why I couldn't get python to allow me to use tkinter and was able to do what I was trying to do, more or less.

I'm creating a calculator app for my company which will be used for the calculation of certain parameters.Since there are various parameters with their respective formulas,I decided to create toplevel windows for each parameter-all linked to respective buttons. But I can't get the functions to work in the toplevel windows.
I've used def calculate(): to no avail
I expect it to work, since it works in a normal window, but it fails in a toplevel window.
def open():
ldl_window = Toplevel(root)

def calculate():
tc = eval(totalChol.get())

Can you please help me with follwing issue I face:
When I am creating radiobutton with tkinter, I don't have a problem to select from the list.
However, if I put the same script under a menu, then selected option is always the default one, ("Python",1) in this specific case. Do you have any idea how to overcome this? Thanks in advance!

I made a separate file called clinic1.py for the other code and import it to the main page. Everything works fine however another window appears when I click save button on the add new item page.
When I place all the code on the main page that small window doesn't appear.
I cant find whats causing another window to appear when it's in a separate file.

Both files have this line of code:
root = Tk()
Each time you do that, you get another root window. A tkinter application needs to have exactly one instance of Tk running at a time.
You need to remove the last two lines from clinic1.py. You will also need to pass in the reference to root to any methods from clinic1.py that need it.
First file.

I'm currently trying to make a Listbox with a Scroll bar on the side appear on my Tkinter Window. I can't figure out how to make the Scrollbar size the same size as my listbox. Heres my code:
global R3
global lb
R3 = Tk()
gg = "white"
g = "blue"
R3.geometry('720x720')
R3.title(username + " Dropbox")
R3.resizable(width=False, height=False)
logoutbt = Button(R3, text="Logout", width=10, height=2, bg=g, fg=gg, font="5", relief=RAISED, overrelief=RIDGE, command=rectologout)
upload = Button(R3, text="Upload", width=10, height=2, bg=g, fg=gg, font="5", relief=RAISED, overrelief=RIDGE, command=rectoupload)
logoutbt.place(x=220, y=500)
upload.place(x=480, y=500)
button1 = Button(R3, text='Receive file', width=10, height=2, bg=g, fg=gg, font="5", relief=RAISED, overrelief=RIDGE,command = get_file)
lb = Listbox(R3, height=6,width = 15)
s.send("RETREIVEA-"+username)
file_list = s.recv(1024).split("-")
if file_list == [""]:
button1.config(state = DISABLED)
for file in file_list:
lb.insert("end", file)
yscroll = Scrollbar(R3, orient=VERTICAL)
lb['yscrollcommand'] = yscroll.set
yscroll['command'] = lb.yview
lb.place(x=280,y=200)
yscroll.place(x=370,y=200)
button1.place(x=400, y=200)
R3.mainloop()
Any suggestions on how to do it?
First of all, please read how to create a Minimal, Complete and Verifiable example.
Your code lacks imports and references non-initialized objects / variables / functions.
How to achieve what you want?
Either use grid instead of place or pass height parameters to lb.place(..., height=<whatever you want>) and yscroll.place(..., height=<whatever you want>)
