class doesn't open its window - newbie question
I am a newbie to python, but not programming.
I have a menubar item
displaySubMenu.add_command(label="External", command=externalDisplay)
externalDisplay is a new class, which I have already imported. The class is
here:
from Tkinter import *
from datetime import datetime, date, time
import urllib
from PIL import Image
#import Image # PIL required
import ImageTk
backColor = "Gray"
highcolor = "Green"
entryColor = "Cyan"
okColor = "Green"
warnColor = "Red"
class externalDisplay(Frame):
def __init__(self,callSign,nexrad):
"""Initialize yourself"""
self.callSign = callSign
self.nexrad = nexrad
#"""Initialise the base class"""
Frame.__init__(self)
"Set the Window Title"""
#self.title( "Test")
self.findu = "http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/radar-find.cgi?call="; +
self.callSign + "&radar=" + self.nexrad
"""Display the main window" with a little bit of padding"""
self.grid(padx=5,pady=5)
self.CreateWidgets()
def CreateWidgets(self):
#"""Create all the widgets that we need"""
self.f = Frame(self, bd=0, bg=backColor)
self.title = "netcomm Online Radar"
self.f.grid()
#
# Insert the date and time the radar image was updated
#
self.lblLastUpdate = Label(self.f, text="Last Updated: " +
str(datetime.now()), bg=backColor)
self.lblLastUpdate.grid( row=0, column=0, sticky=W)
self.btnRefresh = Button(self.f, text="Refresh",
command=handlesExternalDisplayByClick,
bg=backColor,highlightbackground=okColor,highlightcolor=highcolor)
self.btnRefresh.grid(row=0, column=1)
self.btnRefresh = Button(self.f, text="Close", command=self.destroy,
bg=backColor,highlightbackground=warnColor,highlightcolor=highcolor)
self.btnRefresh.grid(row=0, column=2)
#
# Start the download from findu
#
#
# This gets the image and saves it to the local disk as "image.png"
#
# NOTE - will ideally want to conver this to GIF and save it using
#the date as part of the filename so the net can be re-created
#for reporting and to create a flipbook of the radar images
#
urllib.urlretrieve(self.findu, "image.png")
Image.open("image.png").save("image.gif")
self.photo = PhotoImage(file="image.gif")
#
# create a canvas of the appropriate size for the image
#
self.w = Canvas(self.f, width=600, height=550)
#
# convert it into a photo item we can use in the display
#
self.netRadarImage = Label(self.w, image=self.photo)
self.netRadarImage.image = self.photo
self.w.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=3)
self.netRadarImage.grid( row=1, column=0)
def handlesExternalDisplayByClick(self):
#
# destroy the existing frame the radar is in
#
self.destroy()
#
# rebuild the radarWidgets
#
createRadarWidgets(frameRadar)
def handlesRadarRefreshByClick(self):
#
# destroy the existing frame the radar is in
#
self.destroy()
#
# rebuild the radarWidgets
#
self.update()
if __name__ == "__main__":
guiFrame = externalDisplay("AE5PL-10","fws")
guiFrame.mainloop()
The problem is that the window defined in the class never appears, and I don't
know why. I would like to get all of the code for the window into a single
file which I import, but since I can't make this work right, I don't want to
invest the time yet.Eve worse, is that when I run the code as a standalone
module and click on the close button, I am left with a tk window instead of
the app actually closing.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

image resize doesn't work
I have the following chunk of code. Although it seems to execute fine, no
errors, the image is never resized. What am I missing?
imagePNG = Image.open("image.png")
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(imagePNG
canvasWidth = 300
canvasHeight = 275
photo =
ImagePNG.resize((canvasWidth,canvasHeight),Image.ANTIALIAS)
netRadarImage = Label(w, image=photo)

Thanks for the help. My one week of python is getting a workout.
I have shortened it all down and made it a standalone example, using yours as a
model. Your example, works, but it will take a lot of effort to retrofit it
into the code I have. (which is maybe not a bad idea,).
Anyway
from Tkinter import *
import ImageTk
import Image
import sys
def sizeit(filename):
image = Image.open(filename)
w,h = image.size
print w, h
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(file=filename)
canvasWidth = 450
canvasHeight = 412
image = image.resize((canvasWidth,canvasHeight),Image.ANTIALIAS)
w,h = image.size
print w, h
netRadarImage = Label(frame, image=image)
netRadarImage.image = photo
w.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=3)
netRadarImage.grid( row=1, column=0)
[filename] = sys.argv[1:]
root = Tk()
frame = Frame(root)
frame.grid()
sizeit(filename)
root.mainloop()
Just like yours it takes a filename. Unlike yours, mine gets an error that I
can't figure out and is likely the root of the problem.
When I run this code I get
600 550 <== ORIGINAL image size
450 412 <== resized image size
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "zztest.py", line 26, in
sizeit(filename)
File "zztest.py", line 16, in sizeit
netRadarImage = Label(frame, image=image)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 2466, in __init__
Widget.__init__(self, master, 'label', cnf, kw)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 1932, in __init__
(widgetName, self._w) + extra + self._options(cnf))
_tkinter.TclError: image "" doesn't exist
So, my problem appeared to be the resize, but in fact is just getting it onto
the label.
What am I doing wrong?

beginner python GUI question
I hope I can explain this correctly.
I have a GUI, which is already being processed by a mainloop. I want to be
able to open a second window so the user can interact with specific information
in the second window. I pulled together this code example
from Tkinter import *
class Net:
def __init__(self,tkWin):
self.window = tkWin
def show(self,t):
self.l = Label(self.window,text=t)
self.l.grid()
button = Button(self.window, text="Again")
button.bind("", self.Again)
button.grid()
def Again(self,event):
win3 = Tk()
x = Net(win3)
x.show("window 3")
root = Tk()
root.title = "test"
f = Frame(root,bg="Yellow")
l = Label(f,text="window 1")
f.grid()
l.grid()
win2 = Tk()
x = Net(win2)
x.show("window 2")
if __name__ == "__main__":
root.mainloop()
Is this the right way to do things, or would you suggest something different?
Thanks,
Chris

Re: image resize doesn't work
Thanks Peter - I know what I said sounded stupid :-) I have been working with Python for a week and as you know sometimes it is easier to learn by seeing what you did wrong as compared to what should have been done with the same example.

how best to clear objects from a frame
Here is the situation:
I have a window with a bunch of widgets in it. I want to clear the objects in
a given frame and recreate them to update them.
The example below destroys the top level frame, and so I can't recreate the
widgets. I am likely doing this wrong.
should I be doing this in a class?
Thanks for the help.
from Tkinter import *
def createLeftWidgets(left):
#
# Add the Net Status Section
#
conditions = LabelFrame(left, text="Net Conditions",bg="Gray")
conditions.grid(row=0,column=0);
button = Button(conditions, text="Refresh",
command=refreshNetConditions, highlightbackground="Green")
button.grid(row=0,column=1, sticky=E)
cText = Text(conditions,bg="Gray")
cText.insert(END, root.netHistory.get())
cText.config(height=12,width=40)
cText.grid(row=1,column=0,columnspan=2)
status = LabelFrame(left, text="Net Details",bg="Gray")
status.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky=N+E+W+S);
lblNetNumber = Label(status, text="Net Number")
lblNetNumber.grid( row=19, column=0, columnspan=2,sticky=W)
return(conditions)
def refreshNetConditions():
global frameLeft
frameLeft.destroy()
root.netHistory.set( "inserting text\n" + root.netHistory.get())
createLeftWidgets(frameLeft)
root = Tk()
root.netHistory = StringVar()
root.netHistory.set("goes into the text widget")
frame = Frame(root)
frame.grid()
frameLeft = createLeftWidgets(frame)
root.mainloop()

I thought that would be a good idea, so I changed the code a bit to this:
from Tkinter import *
class Net:
def __init__(self):
self.window = Toplevel()
def show(self,t):
self.l = Label(self.window,text=t)
self.l.grid()
button = Button(self.window, text="Again")
button.bind("", self.Again)
button2 = Button(self.window, text="Dismiss")
button2.bind("", self.window.destroy)
button.grid()
button2.grid()
def Again(self,event):
x = Net()
x.show("window 3")
root = Tk()
root.title = "test"
f = Frame(root,bg="Yellow")
l = Label(f,text="window 1")
f.grid()
l.grid()
x = Net()
x.show("window 2")
if __name__ == "__main__":
root.mainloop()
I put the call to Topevel into the Class. This however, gets me an error
message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "a.py", line 27, in
x = Net()
File "a.py", line 5, in __init__
self.window = Toplevel()
File

line 1978, in __init__
self.title(root.title())
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
I should think it would work, but I don't understand why it doesn't.

I have several python books and I have been using effbot and various other
sources. Thanks for the help. Your suggestion (and a couple others I added)
got my example working exactly like I want it, so I can incorporate that into
my program. Thanks again.

namespaces, scoping and variables
I am having a problem getting around this variable namespace thing.
Consider these code bits
File a.py
from Tkinter import *
import a1
def doAgain():
x = a1.Net()
x.show("Again!")
root = Tk()
root.title("test")
f = Frame(root,bg="Yellow")
l = Button(root,text="window 1",command=doAgain)
f.grid()
l.grid()
a = 5
x = a1.Net()
x.show("window 2")
if __name__ == "__main__":
root.mainloop()
File a1.py
from Tkinter import *
class Net:
def __init__(self):
self.window = Toplevel()
def show(self,t):
self.l = Label(self.window,text=t)
self.l.grid()
button = Button(self.window, text="Again")
button.bind("", self.Again)
button2 = Button(self.window, text="Dismiss")
button2.bind("", self.hide)
button.grid()
button2.grid()
def Again(self,event):
x = Net()
x.show(a)
def hide(self,event):
self.window.destroy()
When I run a.py, it imports a1.py and click on the Again button, I get the error
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 1410, in __call__
return self.func(*args)
File "/Volumes/Development/py/a1.py", line 17, in Again
x.show(a)
NameError: global name 'a' is not defined
I believe this is the expected behavior. so my question is this -- how do I
tell the code in a1.py about the variable a, which exists in a.py? Do I have
to pass it as part of the function call, or what? using
global a
in a1.py doesn't change anything.
since I am using SQLite for the disk database, I was thinking I could keep all
the "global" variables in an in memory database and just access them when I
need to, but other ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks to everyone for answering my question. I think its clear now. I'll
just go the "stuff 'em in a module and import that" route.

calling a class method from a menu in a different class
What I am trying to do is call a class function from a menu, for example
displaySubMenu.add_radiobutton(label="Medium",
variable=radarPanelSize, command=radarWidgets.refresh)
class radarWidgets:
def __init__(self,root):
self.window = root
def refresh(self):
global radar
global refreshTimer
self.refreshTimer.cancel()
logging.debug("handlesRadarRefreshByTimer()")
#
# destroy the existing frame the radar is in
#
self.w.destroy()
self.lblLastUpdate.destroy()
self.btnRefresh.destroy()
#
# rebuild the radarWidgets
#
self.createImage()
self.refreshTimer = threading.Timer( 900, self.refresh)
self.refreshTimer.start()
This doesn't work because the instance of radarWidgets was defined in a
different class ..
class mainDisplay:
def __init__(self,root):
self.window = root
def show(self):
#
# Configure the base frame
#
base=Frame(self.window,bg=backColor,width=1200, height=800)
base.grid()
frameRadar = Frame(base, bd=0, bg=backColor)
frameRadar.grid(row=2,column=1,sticky=N+E+S+W)
#
radar = radarWidgets(frameRadar)
radar.show()
so the actual instance is called "radar". If I put the instance name in the
menu item, I get an error that "radar" is unknown. If I use
RadarWidgets.refresh ins the command for the menu, I get the error:
TypeError: unbound method refresh() must be called with radarWidgets instance
as first argument (got nothing instead)
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Re: calling a class method from a menu in a different class
Oh and Risk, I know I was calling the class object. class 1 creates the instance object class 2 tries to use the instance object so the problem is how to make class 2 knowledgable of instance object? I guess I could pass the instance object into the class, since class1 creates the instance and also calls class 2.

assigning variables from list data
I have a database query result (see code below). In PHP, I would have said

is there a way more like PHP or am I stuck with it?

Tk window and contents will not display
The scenario is this:
I want to loop around all of the images in a given directory (which I know will
be images, but I guess I should check), show an image in a window, wait 2
seconds and show the next one and repeat that indefinitley, which will be until
the user closes the window.
This is the code I extracted from the larger program and made work - sort of -
in a standalone fashion. When I run the code, each of the file names gets
displayed, and I can view the images, so it has to be something I am doing
wrong with this chunk of code.
However, I don't see what the problem is.

Thanks Peter. I threw away what I started with and merged your code into my
class:
class externalLoopDisplay:
def show(self):
main.logging.debug("externalLoopDisplay.show:","start")
self.window = Tk()
self.btnClose = Button(self.window, text="Close",
command=self.window.destroy, bg=backColor,highlightbackground=warnColor,
highlightcolor=okColor)
self.btnClose.grid(row=0, column=2)
self.label = Label(self.window)
self.label.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=3)
dirName = getRadarPath() + "/net" + str(netNumber.get()) # e.g.
.../Radar/net17/net17-MMDDHHMMSS.gif
self.imagefiles = glob.glob(dirName + "/*.gif")
self.imagefiles = cycle(self.imagefiles)
self.window.after_idle(self.next_image)
def next_image(self):
imagefile = next(self.imagefiles)
image = Image.open(imagefile)
w, h = image.size
image = image.resize((600, 550*h//w))
self.label.image = self.label["image"] =
ImageTk.PhotoImage(image=image) # < bails here
self.window.title("Now showing %s" % os.path.basename(imagefile))
self.window.after(2000, next_image)
I marked where the code bails with an error saying pyimage2 doesn't exist. All
of the images exist and worked just fine with your standalone script.

Yes - you are bang on.
Thanks. One final question if I may, how would you suggest I handle checking
for new files and adding them to the list? For example, if the loop is playing
and a new image is added, how can I detect it and then refresh the list of file?
I am stuck on that part with this new approach.

adding a "windows" item to a menu bar dynamically
I want to add a "Windows" menu item to my menu bar, so when another Toplevel window is opened, I can add that to the menu bar in case the user accidentally clicks on a different window and moves the Toplevel under something else. Then when the window is closed, remove the window from the menu Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
python strings and {} in Tkinter entry widgets
I have some code that pulls a value from a database. In this case, it is three space delimited words. When I display the value in a Tkinter.Entry widget, the text has curly braces around it, even when there are none in the surrounding the text in the database. Is this normal, and how do I prevent it or remove them correctly before displaying the text in the Entry widget? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Actually I want all of the words, as they form the name of an organization
entered by the user. So the space delimited words should be displayed without
the {} in the tkinker entry box. The contents of the widget is a persons first
and last name, space delimited
