hi i am trying to write a controller that creates a Tkinter gui,takes userevents from gui and calls another program to do some calculation and finally returns the results to gui to be displayed.
I tried to separate these three like MVC pattern however ,being a newbie i have some doubts sample gui class class MyGUI: def __init__(self, parent): self.controller=MyController() self.myParent = parent self.mainframe = Frame(parent,background="grey") self.mainframe.pack(fill=BOTH,expand=YES) ... def button1Click(self): controller.callback(uservalue) def showResult(resultvalue): //display on canvas class MyController: def createGUI(self): root = Tk() root.wm_title("MyGUI") self.myapp = MyGUI(root) root.mainloop() def callback(value): self.userenteredvalue=value def callGUI(self,resultvalue): self.myapp.showResult(resultvalue) if __name__ == "__main__": controller=MyController() controller.createGUI() resultTodisplay=self.userenteredvalue+1000 # or may be call some program to do the calc controller.callGUI(resultTodisplay) Here,root.mainloop() causes the application to go into Tk event loop and the controller will not be able to interact with the gui until i close the window. I was wondering if i can keep the gui window open and at the same time call the gui objects methods from my controller.If anyone can help/ advise please do thanks gordon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
