Re: tkinter socket client ?
Hi, thanks for this info - I had to abandon the createfilehandler() method as it is not supported in windows and the GUI might be used there at some time ... So - I went the threading route - works well - for now - so I will stick to it ... BUT - the next question: In the Text() widget - why - when the text scrolls off the screen - does the window not follow it ? I have added a scrollbar to it : self.center_frame = Frame(self.top_frame, background=tan, relief=RIDGE) self.text=Text(self.center_frame,background='white') scroll=Scrollbar(self.center_frame) self.text.configure(yscrollcommand=scroll.set) self.text.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH, expand=YES) scroll.pack(side=RIGHT,fill=Y) self.center_frame.pack(side=RIGHT, expand=YES, fill=BOTH) but the window does not scroll to follow the text ? Any ideas ? Thanks Tonino -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I have added a scrollbar to it :

relief=RIDGE)
self.text=Text(self.center_frame,background='white')
scroll=Scrollbar(self.center_frame)
self.text.configure(yscrollcommand=scroll.set)
self.text.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH, expand=YES)
scroll.pack(side=RIGHT,fill=Y)
self.center_frame.pack(side=RIGHT, expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
but the window does not scroll to follow the text ?
Any ideas ?
This is the default behavior of the Text widget. You have two options
(as I see it) one, put the new text at the top of the Text widget
textwidget.insert(0, your new text) or two, use the yview_pickplace
method to move the view down every time you insert text
textwidget.yview_pickplace('end')
I wrote a sub-class of the ScrolledText widget to do just this
I gave it a write method - so I could re-direct stdout to it - and also
called yview_pickplace in that method.

Any ideas ? That's just how it works. But when you append text you can easily tell the text widget to display it, e.g. using see. Here is the code I use (from RO.Wdg.LogWdg.py), which has these useful features: - auto-scrolls only if the user is already scrolled to the of text (so if a user is staring at some older data, it won't be jerked out from under them) - deletes excess text. def addOutput(self, astr, category=None): Add a line of data to the log. Inputs: - astr: the string to append. If you want a newline, specify the \n yourself. - category: name of category or None if no category # set auto-scroll flag true if scrollbar is at end # there are two cases that indicate auto-scrolling is wanted: # scrollPos[1] = 1.0: scrolled to end # scrollPos[1] = scrollPos[0]: window has not yet been painted scrollPos = self.yscroll.get() doAutoScroll = scrollPos[1] == 1.0 or scrollPos[0] == scrollPos[1] if category: self.text.insert(end, astr, (category,)) else: self.text.insert(end, astr) extraLines = int(float(self.text.index(end)) - self.maxLineIndex) if extraLines 0: self.text.delete(1.0, str(extraLines) + .0) if doAutoScroll: self.text.see(end) -- Russell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Tonino [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: yeah - had a look at createfilehandler() - was a bit confusing - but your example helps ;) Be warned that createfilehandler does not work on Windows, though it works well on unix and MacOS X. So my suggestion is one to try any of these (any of which are preferable to threads): - file handlers for non-Windows code - use tcl sockets for cross-platform code. - use Twisted Framework (some work to learn, but supposedly very solid; I confess I've never used it myself). There is a bit of info on the first two options (including a link to the RO package that includes a python interface to tcl sockets) here: http://www.astro.washington.edu/rowen/TkinterSummary.html#FileHandlers -- Russell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

On 20 Jan 2005 22:25:52 -0800, rumours say that Tonino [EMAIL PROTECTED] might have written: [tkinter gui for a socket client, lots of data from the socket] NOW - HOW do I get the server's sent data to continuiosly print in the Text() widget ? You need to use: yourTextWidget.insert(Tkinter.END, data) # to insert the data yourRootWindow.update_idletasks() # to update the GUI -- TZOTZIOY, I speak England very best.

Re: tkinter socket client ?
just one problem - I do not know how to sit in a loop accepting messages on the socket connection - writting them to the Text() widget - refreshing the the GUI - and then starting all over where do I put the loop for the socket ? Another thread? Or use twisted, it comes with a tkinter-aware exec-loop: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/howto/choosing-reactor#auto16: -- Regards, Diez B.

Re: tkinter socket client ?
thanks for the info - but I really do not want to learn twisted before I can understand Tkinter ;) another thread seems the way - will try that ... Thanks Tonino -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: tkinter socket client ?
You are probably looking for Tkinter.createfilehandler(). Here are some snippets to get you started: tk_reactor = Tkinter._tkinter self.sd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) self.sd.connect((HOST, PORT)) tk_reactor.createfilehandler(self.sd, Tkinter.READABLE, self.handle_input) def handle_input(self, sd, mask): data = self.sd.recv(SIZE) (Sorry if the formatting is busted, blame google groups.)

tkinter socket client ?
I have been looking through the previous posts - but with my lack of knowledge on the whole tkinter subject - I have no clue what to look for ... SO - can anyone please help with this ...? I have a python server that when it gets a connection from a client - it sends data back - quite a bit of it - in discreet parts - around 1024 byte chunks ... I have created a tkinter client that makes a simple connect to the server. What I have a problem with is I need the client to write all the data to the Text() widget created in the GUI client - the Text() widget is created as : self.text=Text(self.center_frame,background='white') scroll=Scrollbar(self.center_frame) self.text.configure(yscrollcommand=scroll.set) self.text.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH, expand=YES) scroll.pack(side=RIGHT,fill=Y) self.center_frame.pack(side=RIGHT, expand=YES, fill=BOTH) I have a button with Connect written on it that connects to the server by calling : HOST = 'localhost' PORT = 9000 global s for res in socket.getaddrinfo(HOST, PORT, socket.AF_UNSPEC, socket.SOCK_STREAM): af, socktype, proto, canonname, sa = res try: s = socket.socket(af, socktype, proto) except socket.error, msg: s = None continue try: s.connect(sa) except socket.error, msg: s.close() s = None continue break if s is None: print 'could not open socket' self.quitButtonClick NOW - HOW do I get the server's sent data to continuiosly print in the Text() widget ?
