I'm trying to avoid a *lot* of typing in my Tkinter application by
associating image names with items in a list. Here is my sample list:
self.catlist = [
'all', 'installed', 'base', 'crypto', 'database', 'devel',
'editors', 'games', 'gnome', 'graphics', 'kde', 'languages',
'libs', 'libs_perlmods',
'libs_pythonmods', 'libs_rubymods', 'net', 'sci', 'shells',
'sound', 'text', 'web',
'x11_system', 'x11-wm', 'x11'
]
I've also already created a bunch of images with names that correspond
to the list above, i.e. self.all, self.installed, and so on. Here's the
rest of my code:
for item in self.catlist:
print item
self.categorytable.insert(END, item)
self.categorytable.cellconfigure("end,0", image=self.item)
This yields the following error:
AttributeError: item
because, of course, I don't actually have an image called self.item.
What I'm trying to do is get the value of the variable "item" and plug
it into the image name, so that self.item actually corresponds to
self.installed, self.base, etc. Trying something like
self.categorytable.cellconfigure("end,0", image=self.%s % item)
just yields a syntax error: SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
