[Tutor] Tkinter dilemas

[David Talaga]

Actually the clean method does.  I am not to sure if it is not supposed to
but that aspect of the progam is tested. And as far as the ). I found that
out no big deal. I am an idiot :) what the problem is though now is that
after I select a file to be cleaned, it cleans it and then i can not get
back to the Open() function.  I tried to call it from the bottom of the
Clean() function ut still, nothing...  Here is the new version of the
program: (It is still in the works. tinkering around with it and al)

import os
import tkFileDialog
import sys
import re
import Tkinter

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
#Define all variables
global root
root=Tkinter.Tk()
result = 0
sub = re.sub
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

# define the dialog function to call the dialog box
def dialog():
    root.withdraw()
    initDir = 'C:/windows/desktop'
    filetype = [('All files', '.*')]
    fileName = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(initialdir=initDir,
filetypes=filetype)
    return fileName

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
#Define the doDialog function. Uses the dialog function from another file
def doDialog():
   global result
   result = dialog()

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
#Define the List function that displays the list of "cleaned" files
def Open():
    global f
    f = Tkinter.Button(root, text = "Find Files", command = Clean)
    f.pack()
    global l
    l = Tkinter.Button(root, text = "View List", command = List)
    l.pack()
    global x
    x = Tkinter.Button(root, text = "Exit", command = sys.exit)
    x.pack()

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
#Define function List to be used in the Open() function.
def List():
   S = Tkinter.Scrollbar()
   global L
   L = Tkinter.Listbox()
   S.pack(side = Tkinter.RIGHT, fill = Tkinter.Y)
   L.pack(side = Tkinter.LEFT, fill = Tkinter.Y)
   S.config(command = L.yview)
   L.config(yscrollcommand = S.set)
   os.chdir('C:\Cleaned_Files')
   Populate()

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
#Define the function to populate the listbox
def Populate():
    if os.path.isfile('cleaned_files.txt'):
        print "cleaned_files.txt exists"
    else:
        file('cleaned_files.txt', 'a', 1)
    clean = open('cleaned_files.txt', 'r+')
    clean.write(fileName)
    clean.close()

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
#Define the Clean function to clean the files
def Clean():
    if f:
        global fileName
        fileName = dialog()
        in_file = open(fileName,'r').readlines()
        out_file = open(fileName + '_cleaned.txt', 'w')
        for i in in_file:
          tmp = sub('\x0D','', i)
          out_file.write(tmp)
        print 'File cleaned'

    if x: out_file.close()

    if l: List()

    print fileName

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
#Call the working function
Open()



#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
#Make the path where the cleaned files will be stored
if os.path.isdir("C:\\Cleaned_Files"):
   print "C:\\Cleaned_Files exists"
else:
   os.mkdir("C:\\Cleaned_Files")

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

root.mainloop()

    I am working with Tkinter and trying to create a box that has three
buttons (in the Open() function) and these buttons seem to not work.  I am
wondering what I am doing wrong.  Here is all of the code but I think that
the problem lies within the Open function.  The first window pops up upon
running the program but there is nothing in the window. Can you help!!!

    #Created by dtalaga for Novo Dynamics
    import os
    from Tkinter import *
    import tkFileDialog
    import sys
    import re
    import Tkinter


#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
    #Define all variables
    global root
    root=Tk()
    result = 0
    sub = re.sub

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

    # define the dialog function to call the dialog box
    def dialog():
        root.withdraw()
        initDir = 'C:/windows/desktop'
        filetype = [('All files', '.*')]
        fileName = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(initialdir=initDir,
filetypes=filetype)
        return fileName


#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
    #Define the doDialog function. Uses the dialog function from another
file
    def doDialog():
       global result
       result = dialog()


#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
    #Define the List function that displays the list of "cleaned" files
    def Open():
       f = Tkinter.Button(root, text = "Find Files", command = Clean)
       f.pack()
       l = Tkinter.Button(root, text = "View List", command = List)
       l.pack()
       x = Tkinter.Button(root, text = "Exit", command = sys.exit)
       x.pack

    Right here you forgot to put the parenthesis on pack


#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
    #Define function List to be used in the Open() function.
    def List():
       S = Tkinter.Scrollbar()
       L = Tkinter.Listbox()
       S.pack(side = Tkinter.RIGHT, fill = Tkinter.Y)
       L.pack(side = Tkinter.LEFT, fill = Tkinter.Y)
       S.config(command = L.yview)
       L.config(yscrollcommand = S.set)


#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
    #Define function Clean.  Clean will take the files and clean them

    def Clean():
        if f:
           fileName = dialog()
           in_file = open(fileName,'r').readlines()
           out_file = open(fileName + '_cleaned.txt', 'w')
           for i in in_file:
             tmp = sub('\x0D','', i)
             out_file.write(tmp)
           print 'File cleaned'

        if x:
           out_file.close()
        if l:
           List()
        print fileName


#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
    #Call the working functions
    #Open()

     When I uncommented Open() it ran and showed the buttons with the pack
problem above it showed all buttons


#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
    #Make the path where the cleaned files will be stored
    if os.path.isdir("C:\\Cleaned_Files"):
       print "C:\\Cleaned_Files exists"
    else:
       os.mkdir("C:\\Cleaned_Files")


#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    root.mainloop()

    Your clean method will not work.  Look on activestate for a shim recipie
so you can pass arguments with tkinter.   Well I googled I know there is one
on AS but here is a url for another page.  Look this over you should be able
to figure this out.  I needed a similar thing in the past.

    http://www.astro.washington.edu/owen/TkinterSummary.html#CallbackShims

    Good luck
