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-----

self modifying buttons - memory game
by RickB Aug. 29, 2007

Aug. 29, 2007

I assume there is probably a better way to do this. The code is functional but its really slow if you have a large amount of buttons. http://www.nabble.com/file/8220/gui.py gui.py -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/self-modifying-buttons---memory-game-tf3693914.html#a… Sent from the Python - tkinter-discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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.

Tkinter hangs in interpreter subprocess
by nadeemabdulhamid May 22, 2007

May 22, 2007

I am having real problems using Tkinter when launching a Python interpreter as a subprocess from another program in Windows. Tkinter seems to hang when the interpreter is not launched from the console, for some reason. I need to find a way around it, or somehow get it to think that it is being launched from a console. Basically, I'm trying to write a simple Python editor in Java and would like to be able to run an interactive interpreter shell in a pane within the editor. So I tried launching python from Java, and it works fine except when I import Tkinter and then create the root Tk() object, it stops accepting any further input. I've also tried launching the interpreter process from a Python script using popen and piping the input/output streams, and also from a native C application -- and in every case it does the same. However, the Java/Python code works just perfectly on a Macintosh -- it loads the Tkinter library and does not hang or anything. The Java code is posted in another thread: http://tinyurl.com/2h2dwx I'm using the latest versions of Java and Python on Windows XP. I would really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on how I can solve this problem, or another more appropriate forum to ask the question. Thanks in advance, nadeem -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tkinter-hangs-in-interpreter-subprocess-tf3794092.htm… Sent from the Python - tkinter-discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

python tcl mixed programming
by Fabrizio Pollastri May 21, 2007

May 21, 2007

Hello, I am trying to import into a python program a TK gui designed with TkproE. My code is root = Tk() root.tk.evalfile('my_tcl_gui.tcl') The problem at this point is that root.children is empty. It seems that evalfile created the gui widgets somewhere else, not inside my root window. How I can access from python the widget tree created by evalfile? What I am missing? Thank for any help. Regards, F. Pollastri

Canvas -> move object and remove previous location
by Teresa Stanton May 8, 2007

May 8, 2007

Hi all: I am working on a program that will take a .gif and move it from origin, along a path where the mouse clicks. I understand that the move is simply changing the coordinates. I can place several .gif's on the canvas, but I would like to make the previous image go away (delete or be removed) and thus far been unable to do that. The example program I wrote simply takes the image and moves it. I should mention that I've tried 'move() and coord()' to get the object to move, but I am not getting the effect I want. When I use move in successive steps it just appears at the last move coordinates. And when I try to use delete, well, it doesn't work, I get an error message. I should mention that I'm using python25. Here is my rather early example code: from Tkinter import * root = Tk() root.title("Click me!") def next_image(event): global x, y, photo photoId = canvas1.create_image(x, y, image=photo) # I realize this isn't the best way to do it, but until I get something working... canvas1.create_image(x+10, y, image=photo) # this seems more successful, but the image remains canvas1.create_image(x+20, y, image=photo) # after I click. I don't want the image to remain, canvas1.create_image(x+30, y, image=photo) # I actually want to see a slow deliberate movement canvas1.create_image(x+40, y, image=photo) # to the final spot. canvas1.create_image(x+50, y, image=photo) canvas1.create_image(x+60, y, image=photo) canvas1.create_image(x+70, y, image=photo) #canvas1.move(, 100, 0) image = "DustY1.GIF" # use any gif, this is a cartoon of my dog photo = PhotoImage(file=image) # make canvas the size of image1/photo1 width1 = photo.width() height1 = photo.height() canvas1 = Canvas(width=width1, height=height1) canvas1.pack() # display photo, x, y is center x = (width1)/2.0 y = (height1)/2.0 # this is the first image canvas1.create_image(x, y, image=photo) canvas1.bind('<Button-1>', next_image) # bind left mouse click root.mainloop() Thank you for your help!

OptionMenu and Keyboard
by Vasilis Vlachoudis May 6, 2007

May 6, 2007

Hi All, In my application I am using quite often the OptionMenu to give to the user a list of possible choices. I've tried to do everything to work with the keyboard but I cannot manage to make the OptionMenu to get the keyboard focus. Tab is always ignoring it. Is this a problem of the Tkinter or from the tk/tcl libraries? Vasilis
