[Tutor] wxPython parent classes
I've been noticing that in all the example codes I have seen, when someone creates container, x, inside of a frame or other container class, y, they always seem to create an instance of wx.Panel first and then use that instance as the parent class of container x. I have been just placing 'self' in there, however, letting the class I am creating (whether it be a wx.Frame subclass, wx.ScrolledWindow subclass, etc) be the parent class of any other wx.Window class I instantiate inside that class. Is one way better than the other, and if so, why? Thanks. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] wxPython parent classes
wx.Panel provides better cross-platform reliability, so it's fairly standard practice to go with a Panel in a Frame, and place the buttons, etc. on the panel.

[Tutor] wxPython issues
I am trying to create an addressbook program and am currently working on prototype pages. Right now, I am trying to create a wx.ScrolledWindow class with a wx.ListCtrl to display the names of all contacts. I keep running into an error with my current configuration that is stating I have not specified the 'parent' position when instantiating my class, but from my best understanding, I have. (The full Exception Error is below). I have attatched a text file with a copy of my program.

Re: [Tutor] wxPython issues
Eric Stevens element.eff...@gmail.com wrote prototype pages. Right now, I am trying to create a wx.ScrolledWindow class I would strongly recommend not calling your class the same as the standard widget. I don't think thats causing issues here but I wouldn't be surprised! Its a bit like overrriding built-in Python functions. Users of wxPython expect ScrolledWindow to refer to the standard one... understanding, I have. (The full Exception Error is below). I have attatched a text file with a copy of my program. Being picky, you attached an RTF file which mostly won't cause a problem, but you might as well just have attached the original python code since it truly is a text file!

It is so worth paying alumni dues! There is no way they would transport books to the public library to make it easier for people though - not with the way the city and the university feel about each other :} You might be surprised. I would't have expected to get a book from San Diego State University sent to the San Jose Public Library, but it did. I just entered teh request, and a few hours later, I had anote saying it was on the way. The system finds the copy and obtains it. It's not on a one-to-one basis, i.e., as if SJPL had an arrangement with SDSU; it's more of the libraries deciding to patricipate in the pool. If I just can't figure out how to do this with Tkinter and the Python Imaging Library, is 'wxPython' the additional software I would want to install and try with? wxPython is an alternative to Tkinter. The advantage of Tkinter is that it comes as part of standard Python. You know that it will be installed on any reasonably current Python installation. If you write a program using Tkinter and send it to me, you can be sure that I can run it as long as I have Python installed (at least as far as the GUI is concerned; other things such as PIL might still be an issue). wxPython is an API over the cross-platform wxWidgets GUI. I think it provides a cleaner and more native look compared to Tkinter. For what my opinion is work (and that's not much -- I'm pretty inexperienced at GUI stuff), I find it at least as easy to use as Tkinter, but I recall a learning curve when I started. I don't use Tkinter any more, preferring wxPython, but opinions will vary. Here's a comparison of the two; it's hosted on a wxPython site, so it's undoubtedly slanted toward wxPython: http://wiki.wxpython.org/Choosing%20wxPython%20over%20Tkinter Another couple: http://www.llaisdy.com/static/tech/python/calc.html http://ojs.pythonpapers.org/index.php/tpp/article/viewArticle/61 However, if you would like an example of using Tkinter with PIL, I would be happy to provide you with a very rough program I wrote several years ago for my own use (when I still used Tkinter). It loads an image that was taken with a digital camera; reads the date the photo was taken from the image's EXIF data; adds a timestamp to the photo, and saves it. It's very rough; I have the habit of writing something only to the point where it's good enough for me, and then stop development on it. But you might find it helpful of a straightforward program that uses both. It's from about 2006 or so, and I am by no means a GUI programming expert and was even less so then, so my techniques may be suspect; but I'd be happy to send it to you for what it's worth. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] [wxPython-users] passing file name from one script to theGUI class
I do not currently have wx installed, but I can see the errors... I think some information will help you more than answers in this instance. When you 'import clases_calling', what you are doing is creating a new namespace. Inside that namespace is the class 'funct'. In your code, you call the function 'clases_calling.func_call' which does not exist because it is hidden inside of the class 'funct'. To access this function you would have to 'clases_calling.funct.func_call(self)'. This is bad practice, and defeats the purpose of using a class. Which is understandable since the class 'funct' is not necessary here. All you need is a function that will return the new filename right? So, in the clases_calling module place a 'getnewfilename' function which will return the new filename (no class in clases_calling) and in your 'readfile.py' call it by 'clases_calling.getnewfilename()'. Also, when you try to call 'imagetobit' from your current 'func_call' function it will fail because in *this* module (clases_calling.py) you have it imported as 'MainWindow.imagetobit'. I would highly recommend *not* putting this code in this module anyway, intuitively it would belong in the 'OnRead' method right after the call to your new function 'getnewfilename'. More errors to be... sigh. Here we go. In your function 'imagetobit' in readfile.py you should get an error because 'self' is not defined. You have not put self in the argument list as you did in all the other methods of MainWindow. This also means that self.imageFile1 will not be defined either, and should give you an error when trying to define it. If you adjust the imagetobit function so that it is a method of the class, we see that the imagename parameter is no longer necessary, as we can set the self.imageFile variable directly from one of the other functions. Also, I see code that looks very similar in the __init__ method of MainWindow and the function imagetobit. I suggest that you change this so that in the __init__ method you actually call self.imagetobit. To summarize: 1) Change clases_calling.py to be a single function that return the new filename as a string. 2) Change MainWindow.OnRead so that it calls this new function first (I used clases_calling.getnewfilename()), then self.imagetobit(), and finally run the rest of the commented stuff you have there (Remembering that the Image redrawing has already been done in self.imagetobit() you can delete it here) 3) Change imagetobit so that it is a method of the class MainWindow, and remove the imagename parameter 4) Change all references of self.imageFile1 to just self.imageFile. You do not need the extra. 5) Change MainWindow.__init__ so that it calls self.imagetobit() immediately after you set the variable self.imageFile And... I think that's everything. IMHO the important concept inherently missed in these two modules is that the names of the functions and variable inside are hidden behind the names. i.e. import math is used as math.sqrt, instead of just sqrt.

In the back end i am making a list variable to which i have to send the information about the selected files. And that list is read and files are opened in another script.

Is there a reason why you cannot import the script as a module and then call a function (or functions) within the script instead of executing the script? That is a much safer and more flexible process. However, if that is impossible you can use subprocess module to execute any external program including python, so simply call that fom your event handler.

Re: [Tutor] wxPython GUI builders?
wxGlade is a good GUI builder, very much like Glade, however it may o may not integrate with your coding style but you should definitively give it a try. PythonCard is a nice concept I personally do something similar but with XML, parse and build the GUI from it, then tweak the layout manually, with PythonCard this is easier to do since it has a resource editor. Personally I would like an IDE + wxPython GUI editor integrated, that would help a lot, I'm starting to work on that myself. Good luck!

Re: [Tutor] WXPython Listbox Problem
Try ID's higher then 1 ... low ID's are usually taken by wxWidgets. To be safe simply create them with wx.ID_ANY (from the top of my head) and after that: self.box1.Bind(wx.EVT_LISTBOX, self.b1func,id=self.box1.GetId()) Which is a bit more dynamic anyway and saves you some constants.

Re: [Tutor] wxPython book
Thanks Wes, After posting it dawned on me that the US site might have more (any!) reviews, and sure enough there is one mega review and several shorter ones, none negative. I think I'll be buying... The wxWidgets book I'll pass on, I have an old one from about 10 years ago (from when I was actively programming in C++) which explains the logic behind the toolkit and the wxWidgets reference web pages do all I need now, its really the Python aspects I want a book on.

Re: [Tutor] wxPython book
There is a good interview on Python 411 last week with the authors of the book. http://www.awaretek.com/python/index.html You can also find a few other shows about gui toolkits in Python. This is a great resource if you want to learn about Python while you commute. --Dennis - Original Message -Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2006 23:50:11 +0100 From: Alan Gauld [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Tutor] wxPython book To: wesley chun [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: tutor@python.org Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=iso-8859-1; reply-type=response Thanks Wes, After posting it dawned on me that the US site might have more (any!) reviews, and sure enough there is one mega review and several shorter ones, none negative.

[Tutor] wxPython
Hello. I have made some programs using wxPython (PythonCard). They all seem to have one common nominator. When the program are doing something unrelated unrelated to the graphics (for example, ftp's, works with a document or a file), the graphics freezes. It does unfreeze afterwards, but since the working with the other files might take a few minutes, the user assumes my program has crashed. How can I avoid that the graphics freeze.

The problem is that your long-running task is not yielding any time to the GUI to respond to events or update the screen.

Hey Jeff, -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Peery Hello, does anyone know if there is a list of widows icons available? I'm creating an application for windows and I'd like to use standard icons for things like a print button or save button etc. thanks. Checkout images.py in the wxPython demo directory. If you put it in your python path somewhere you can do an import images and then write code like this (grabbed from the wxPython toolbar demo): pythoncode tb = self.CreateToolBar( wx.TB_HORIZONTAL | wx.NO_BORDER | wx.TB_FLAT | wx.TB_TEXT ) tb.AddSimpleTool(10, images.getNewBitmap(), New, Long help for 'New') self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL, self.OnToolClick, id=10) self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED, self.OnToolRClick, id=10) tb.AddSimpleTool(20, images.getOpenBitmap(), Open, Long help for 'Open') self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL, self.OnToolClick, id=20) self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED, self.OnToolRClick, id=20) /pythoncode There are probably other ways to do this as well, but there's my .02!

Re: [Tutor] wxPython / Tkinter Grid
Thanks for the feedback. I should clarify - I find wxPython restrictive fiddly in terms of trying to use a fully featured set of widgets, which are written in C++, trying to use them through a not overly documented Python wrapper. I love Pythoncard more and more.
