Shareware product using Tkinter

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I know there is a lot of talk about Tkinter being an antiquated toolkit, unsuitable for commercial software development. However, I am using Tkinter in one of my shareware programs: http://www.codebykevin.com/packetstream.html (there's a screenshot) This application makes use of some recent advances in Tk development, including Tile (see http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TileWrapper for the Python wrapper). It also makes use of some nice Tkinter widgets such as ToolTip (http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/ToolTip). If you pay attention to some of the specifics of the platform you are targeting (this app is for Mac OS X users) and to other points of application design, such as icons (I find the Tango set to be very polished and well-suited for the Mac; it doesn't scream "Linux"), then I think it's quite possible to make a nice, polished, professional-looking application with Tkinter. I'm curious if anyone has thought about gathering a listing of other Tkinter applications, commercial or otherwise, that are well-designed/attractive. Perhaps a screenshot page at the Tkinter wiki or elsewhere? - -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFFntpOEsLm8HXyq4sRAuxMAJQOpHKZf9dGrxO/0F0UVIPMr8vZAJsGIHT9 pYgEgO+j2Q83GocIWWOzqA== =7aqI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hiya G G In case you're a freak about namespace polution (and that's really a good thing), you can generally rest assured that you'll be almost always fine when you do a full namespace import of Tkinter module.

Dear All I wrote a python script which will take values from a configuration file and perform some operation and give an answer. I would like to make a gui for the script using Tkinter.

Please help me to find the solution. Thanking You Vinu V. -- VINU VIKRAM http://iucaa.ernet.in/~vvinuv/

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] Unicode characters in canvas postscript

Hello Vasilis, >I want to add "print to postscript" functionality on my program. I have >used the "postscript" method of Canvas, and it works nicely apart from >all no-latin (Unicode) characters. On the screen appear Ok but on the >postscript are replaced by question marks ?. Do you mean question marks in the Postscript file or the printout? If the Postscript file looks ok, it's your printing system. At least on Mac OS X there were several issues regarding unicode and Tk. So your Tk should be quite recent. I could give it a try on a Linux system, if you're interested. Regards, Matthias Kievernagel (mkiever/at/web/dot/de)

Unicode characters in canvas postscript
by Vasilis Vlachoudis March 20, 2007

March 20, 2007

Dear All, I want to add "print to postscript" functionality on my program. I have used the "postscript" method of Canvas, and it works nicely apart from all no-latin (Unicode) characters. On the screen appear Ok but on the postscript are replaced by question marks ?. Is it possible to print non-latin characters on the postscript generated from the Canvas, or it is only limited to latin (ASCII) characters? Thanks in advance Vasilis

KeyPress/KeyRelease binding: PCs v. MacOS
by jrcagle＠juno.com March 2, 2007

March 2, 2007

This subject came up on the DaniWeb Python discussion board, and I was curious about it: (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread70746.html) The issue is an apparent difference between PCs and Macs in interpreting key holds. The following code: --- from Tkinter import * class MyFrame(Frame): def __init__(self, master): Frame.__init__(self, master) self.go = False self.bind('<a>', self.showJudgments) self.bind('<KeyRelease-a>', self.makeChoice) self.pack(expand=YES, fill=BOTH) self.focus_force() def showJudgments(self, event=None): if self.go == False: self.go = True self.showJudgmentsA() else: self.keepShowing() def keepShowing(self): print 'a key being pressed' def showJudgmentsA(self): print "key-press started" def makeChoice(self, event=None): print "choice made" self.go = False mainw = Tk() mainw.f = MyFrame(mainw) mainw.f.grid() mainw.mainloop() --- on a PC produces this output: --- key-press started # pressed 'a' here a key being pressed a key being pressed ... a key being pressed choice made # let go here --- and on a Mac, this output: --- key-press started choice made key-press started choice made key-press started choice made key-press started choice made --- Apparently, Macs interpret held keys as press/release, press/release, ... Is this correct? Thanks, Jeff
