confused about classes and tkinter object design
Hi, I've created my first Tkinter GUI class which consists of some buttons that trigger functions. I have also created a tkFileDialog.askdirectory control to local a root folder for log files. I have several file paths that depend on the value of tkFileDialog.askdirectory should I create an object that inherits this value or can I point functions at the GUI class? I am creating the tkinter GUI instance using; if __name__ == __main__: GUI = AuditorGUI() GUI.mainloop() class AuditorGUI(Frame): def __init__(self): Frame.__init__(self) self.pack(expand = YES, fill = BOTH) ## Create GUI objects self.currentdir = StringVar() self.currentdir.set(os.getcwd()) self.logdir = Button(self, text=Choose Data directory,command=self.choose_dir) self.logdir.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky='nsew',pady=20,padx=20) self.labeldirpath = Label(self, textvariable=self.currentdir) def choose_dir(self): dirname = tkFileDialog.askdirectory (parent=self,initialdir=self.currentdir.get(),title='Please select a directory') if len(dirname ) 0: self.currentdir.set(dirname) I think I have created an instance of the AuditorGUI class called GUI so should be able to access the path using GUI.currentdir but this doesn't work.

Also the conditional if len(dirname ) 0: could simply be if dirname: When you ask for the attribute currentdir are you asking as GUI.currentdir.get() or GUI.currentdir??? only the second will work with a TKVAR, but there is really no need to use a TKVAR here. I would simply do: self.currentdir = None then you could say: if GUI.currentdir: do this() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
