Re: [Tutor] Custom Tkinter widgets part 2

After a little tweaking, Alan, the dial is working as I had expected. Even so, there may be other tweaks or design improvements that could be added. I'm happy with the class the way it is and will probably now move onto something else. However, I'm also happy to post the code either to the list or to you privately (since you replied to me privately and to the list) to review. -- Regards, Phil

Custom Tkinter widgets part 2
by Phil Nov. 10, 2023

Nov. 10, 2023

David answered my first custom widgets question in February this year and I have created several widgets since then based on his answer. I discovered an alternative method a few months ago and it also works well until I decided to add a label. I have created a dial widget (and multiple dial widgets of varying sizes) which displays correctly now I want to add a label below the dial to display the dial's value. So far I'm only able to display the dial or the label but not both at the same time. I hope these code snippets will be enough show how I'm attempting to display both widgets. First the DIAL class: import tkinter as tk import math class DIAL(tk.Canvas): def __init__(self, master, dial_type="semi", bg="white", *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(master, *args, **kwargs) self.configure(width=100, height=100, bd=0, highlightthickness=0) self.min_value = 0 self.max_value = 100 self.value = 50 self.dial_type = dial_type self.bg = bg self.draw_dial() # Create a label to display the dial value self.label = tk.Label(self, text=f"{self.value}") #self.label.pack(side="bottom") # I think I can see why this won't display the label on the canvas def draw_dial(self): And here's part of a dial demo: root = tk.Tk() root.title("Dial Widget Example") full_dial = DIAL(root, width=150, height=150, dial_type="full", bg="red") full_dial.pack(padx=20, pady=20) # dial or dials all display correctly full_dial.label.pack(side="bottom") # the label needs to be displayed on the canvas but this method is wrong. This is one of several attempts that I've tried. As it stands the label is displayed where the dial would have been if I'd left out the line "full_dial.label.pack(side="bottom")". Hopefully, the correction is a simple syntax error rather the a design flaw. -- Regards, Phil

Clearing the Deque • Picturing Python’s `deque` data structure
by dn Nov. 8, 2023

Nov. 8, 2023

You will be welcome to join us at our next (hybrid) meeting: Wednesday, 15 November 2023, 1815~2030 NZDT (0515~0730 UTC). How often do you use a deque*? “Not very” is a common answer. Perhaps you’ve never used it. In this presentation, Stephen won’t try to convince you to use it more often. Instead, he’ll present a different perspective on what this data structure is, and how it differs from a list. The presentation will compare deques and lists in a visual manner, to help us understand why we may need a deque in certain situations. We’ll also explore some demonstration examples to highlight the differences in performance between the two data structures in different scenarios. *pronounced like “deck" Audience: This presentation is ideal for those who have either never heard of deque, or have heard of it but never really used it or understood why it’s needed. The more experienced may find the visual story insightful. Stephen used to be a physicist, which is where he learned programming. After working in science and academia for over a decade, he decided to escape before it was too late. Since then, has focused exclusively on teaching coding and communicating about Python. A big part of his day is busy with running Codetoday—we teach Python coding to children between 7 and 16 years old (https://www.codetoday.co.uk/). He also runs courses for adults and corporate training programs, and particularly, writing about Python. He writes the articles he wished he had when learning. He publishes articles at The Python Coding Stack (https://thepythoncodingstack.substack.com/) and also wrote an online book (soon to be in other formats, too) for beginners, The Python Coding Book (https://thepythoncodingbook.com/). Please RSVP on Meetup.com (NZPUG Auckland Branch): https://www.meetup.com/nzpug-auckland/events/295433874/ -- Regards, =dn

Help with storing a variable
by nadeem nan Nov. 1, 2023

Nov. 1, 2023

Hi Alan, I hope you are doing well. I am a beginner at Python and as a practice trying to code a rental property management application using tkinter/ttkbootstrap as GUI and MS Excel to store the data. In the application, the end user (here the property agent) can add tenants and their details, properties, rent etc. What I am trying to do is whenever the user adds a new tenant via the user interface, it will generate a tenant-code like MR0001 for a male tenant or MS0001 for a female tenant and the numbers would increment as more tenants are added. I was wondering how would I go about storing this tenant-code so when the user returns to the application to add more tenants the tenant-code is incremented from where it was left. My idea is to store a variable for tenant-code some where in the excel sheet where the tenants data is being saved. This variable can be then accessed when the application is used and incremented accordingly. Do you think this idea would work or if you have a better and efficient way, please let me know. I haven't started coding yet but just gathering ideas on paper. Any help will be much appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Regards, Nadeem Nan

Multiprocessing question
by Albert-Jan Roskam Oct. 29, 2023

Oct. 29, 2023

Hi, I'm trying to create multiprocessing task that runs multiple SQL queries in parallel (COPY TO csv), then adds those csv files to a zip. In the code below, tge csv files don't end up in the zip. Why not? I'm using a buffer instead of a file for the zip because in my actual scenario, a Flask endpoint returns the .zip Thanks in advance! Albert-Jan import io import logging import multiprocessing as mp #from multiprocessing.shared_memory import SharedMemory from random import randint from time import sleep from zipfile import ZipFile, ZIP_DEFLATED mp.log_to_stderr(logging.DEBUG) def task(lock, archive): # Do some work in parellel (SQL), followed # by adding the query result to a zip name = mp.current_process().name print(f"==begin {name}") sleep(randint(1, 5)) csv_buff = io.BytesIO(b"name = " + name.encode("utf-8")) with lock: print(f"* begin zipping {name}") sleep(randint(1, 5)) data = csv_buff.getvalue() print("csv data", data) archive.writestr(name, data) print(f"* end zipping {name}") print(f"==end {name}") def main(): #shm = SharedMemory(create=True, size=2048) # read-only! :-( #zip_buff = shm.buf zip_buff = io.BytesIO() archive = ZipFile(zip_buff, "w", ZIP_DEFLATED, False, 2) lock = mp.Lock() procs = [mp.Process(target=task, args=(lock, archive)) for _ in range(3)] for proc in procs: proc.start() for proc in procs: proc.join() with archive: archive.writestr("main", b"from main") zip_buff.seek(0) data = zip_buff.getvalue() assert len(data), "No data!" print("data:", data) with open("archive.zip", mode="wb") as archive: archive.write(data) if __name__ == "__main__": main()

Tkinter grid layout question
by Phil Oct. 29, 2023

Oct. 29, 2023

This a customtkinter project but I expect the grid layout works exactly the same in standard Tkinter. The aim is to display an image at the top left of the window and four direction buttons in a cross formation centred on the image and to the right of the image. I've got this working through a trial and error but I'd like to know how I should have arrived at the same solution without all the fuss. Gradually increasing the label rowspan finally led to the solution. I have a large label defined and displayed as follows: my_image = customtkinter.CTkImage( dark_image=Image.open("background.png"), size=(250, 230) ) image_label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self, image=my_image, text="",fg_color="yellow") image_label.grid(row=0, column=0, rowspan=18, padx=10, pady=10, sticky="nw") The four direction arrow buttons are as follows (I'll just show one): up_arrow_image = customtkinter.CTkImage( dark_image=Image.open("up.png"), size=(40, 40) up_button = customtkinter.CTkButton( self, text="", image=up_arrow_image, width=50, height=50 ) up_button.grid(row=0, column=4, pady=(40,0),sticky="ne") The up_button pady=(40,0) shifts the group of buttons down so that they're centred to the right of the label. I'm not confident that I've attacked the problem correctly but if the solution is correct then all is well. -- Regards, Phil

I'm a 67 year old retired guy that wants to learn python. I was hoping to find someone local in the Fort Lauderdale Florida area. I also have a csv datafile that I thought would be a good project to learn how to manipulate and read the data. Any help would be appreciated. I've been doing some research and reading. Sounds Like Pandas and Numpy and Anaconda. I'm excited.
