## Tkinter helloworld
|
|
|
|
The absolute most basic way to have a *hello world* GUI program up and running with Tkinter is the following.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
|
|
MyLabel = Label(root,text="hello world")
|
|
MyLabel.pack()
|
|
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
```
|
|
Tkinter have two popular architectures, the Tcl and Tk. This two architectures are different, they have their own functionality and their own official documentation.
|
|
We are gonna use the Tk architecture.
|
|
|
|
The Tk architecture is used to create a GUI widget. He adds a lot of custom commands, so the widget is very customizable.
|
|
|
|
In the previous code,the `mainloop()` instruction allows us to open the main window and to not close immediately the window.
|
|
And then, the `Label()` method creates label in a layout. This method has many parameters to customize a label. The instruction `pack()` will be always call , this instruction can
|
|
add and adjust a widget.
|
|
|
|
While it works we know better by now.
|
|
We should include the `if __name__ == "__main__"` statement.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
|
|
MyLabel = Label(root,text="hello world")
|
|
MyLabel.pack()
|
|
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The instance of `Tk()` is what will actually process our event loop and the `root` is the content of our window. We can customize `root` with instruction like geometry, title,etc.
|
|
In the latter we will create our button and labels so should create our own class and inherit from it.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
Label.__init__(self, text="hello world")
|
|
self.pack()
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
root.title("title of the window")
|
|
root.geometry("500x300")
|
|
MainWindow()
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can add content to the *frame*, such as labels, input boxes and buttons as follows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
Label.__init__(self, text="hello world")
|
|
#Label
|
|
MyLabel = Label(self, text="This is a label")
|
|
MyLabel.pack()
|
|
|
|
self.config(bg="yellow")
|
|
self.pack()
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
root.title("title of the window")
|
|
root.geometry("500x300")
|
|
MainWindow()
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's try to put multiple visual object into the same frame.
|
|
|
|
```python3
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
Label.__init__(self, text="hello world")
|
|
#Label
|
|
MyLabel = Label(self, text="This is a label")
|
|
MyLabel.pack()
|
|
#Button
|
|
MyButton = Button(self, text="I'm clickable!")
|
|
MyButton.pack()
|
|
|
|
self.config(bg="yellow")
|
|
self.pack()
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
root.title("title of the window")
|
|
root.geometry("500x300")
|
|
MainWindow()
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You see how they are *stacked* one on top of the other?
|
|
We can overcome this problem with parameters of [pack()](https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/sizers_overview.html).
|
|
We can also use other geometry managers like [grid()](https://www.pythontutorial.net/tkinter/tkinter-grid/) and [place()](https://www.pythontutorial.net/tkinter/tkinter-place/).
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
Frame.__init__(self, master=None)
|
|
MyPanel = PanedWindow.__init__(self, bg="Blue")
|
|
#Label
|
|
MyLabel = Label(MyPanel, text="this is a label", bg= "yellow")
|
|
MyLabel.pack(fill="x")
|
|
#Bouton
|
|
MyButton = Button(MyPanel, text="I'm clickable!")
|
|
MyButton.place(x=10, y=50)
|
|
self.pack(fill=BOTH,expand=True)
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
root.title("this is the title of the window")
|
|
root.geometry("500x300")
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is looking better!
|
|
But it requires some explanation though.
|
|
Let's break it down.
|
|
The `Frame.__init__` is your **window** in which you create a `PanedWindow.__init__` which is used to draw thing to.
|
|
To this panel you're adding two different *objects* (`Label()` and `Button()`) each with or without their own settings (such as a label or not).
|
|
It probably looks a bit convoluted but this is how most GUI libraries work internally.
|
|
|
|
1. You create a frame
|
|
2. Within this frame you create a *drawing area* and set some form of automatic layout to it.
|
|
3. You create the visual elements you want and add them one by one to the drawing area.
|
|
4. Success
|
|
|
|
Now how do we link **user input** to **code actions**?
|
|
This is a complicated way of saying *actually do something when I click the damn button*!
|
|
For this we'll need to create a function, or better yet a method to the `Frame.__init__` objects.
|
|
Each time we click the button, that method will be called.
|
|
Because it is a *method* it has access to *self* so it can modify *anything* within the scope of the instance.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
class MainWindow(Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
Frame.__init__(self, master=None)
|
|
MyPanel = PanedWindow.__init__(self, bg="Blue")
|
|
#Label
|
|
MyLabel = Label(MyPanel, text="this is a label", bg= "yellow")
|
|
MyLabel.pack(fill="x")
|
|
#Bouton
|
|
MyButton = Button(MyPanel, text="I'm clickable!", command=lambda : self.ButtonEnable(MyLabel))
|
|
MyButton.place(x=10, y=50)
|
|
self.pack(fill=BOTH,expand=True)
|
|
|
|
def ButtonEnable(self, Label):
|
|
global number
|
|
number += 1
|
|
counter = "You have press the button {} time".format(number)
|
|
Label.config(text=counter)
|
|
|
|
|
|
number=0
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
root.title("this is the title of the window")
|
|
root.geometry("500x300")
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can use the same *idea* to grab input from the textbox.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
Frame.__init__(self, master=None)
|
|
MyPanel = PanedWindow.__init__(self, bg="Blue")
|
|
#Label
|
|
MyLabel = Label(MyPanel, text="this is a label", bg= "yellow")
|
|
MyLabel.pack(fill="x")
|
|
#TextBox
|
|
MyEntry = Entry(MyPanel)
|
|
MyEntry.place(x=200,y=50)
|
|
#Bouton
|
|
MyButton = Button(MyPanel, text="I'm clickable!", command=lambda : self.ButtonEnable(MyLabel,MyEntry))
|
|
MyButton.place(x=10, y=50)
|
|
self.pack(fill=BOTH,expand=True)
|
|
|
|
|
|
def ButtonEnable(self, MyLabel, MyEntry):
|
|
MyText = MyEntry.get()
|
|
MyLabel.config(text=MyText)
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
root.title("this is the title of the window")
|
|
root.geometry("500x300")
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tkinter guess the number
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import time
|
|
from tkinter import *

|
|
|

|

Frame.__init__(self, master=None, bg="white")
|

MyPanel = PanedWindow.__init__(self)
|
|
|
|
MyNumber = random.randint(0, 100)
|
|
|

def ButtonEnable(self, MyEntry, MyNumber):
|
|
if self.IsCorrect(MyEntry.get()):
|
|
number = int(MyEntry.get())
|
|
if number != MyNumber:
|

self.GameOver(number, MyNumber)
|

self.Win()

self.MyLabel.config(text="My number is bigger")
|
|

|

self.MyLabel.config(text="You WIN!")
|
|
|
|
def IsCorrect(self, MyEntry):
|

x = str(MyEntry)
|

if x.isdigit() == True:
|
|
return True
|

return False
|
|

if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|

root.title("Guess the number")
|
|
root.geometry("500x300")
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## MVC design pattern
|
|
|
|
A simple console only MVC.
|
|
We'll add the GUI view in a bit.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
|
|
class ConsoleView(object):
|
|
"""A view for console."""
|

"""Prints error messages coming from the controller."""

print("error: {}".format(msg))

|

root.mainloop()
|
|
|
|
def get_task_from_model(self, idx):
|
|
"""Needed for the TkinterView to communicate with the controller."""
|
|
task = self.model.get_task(idx)
|

self.view.show_task(task)
|
|

|
For a GUI only login generator an implementation without MVC could look a bit like this.
|
|
Note that the actual calculation is done inside the window itself.
|
|
This is not a good idea because we should separate responsibilities into classes!
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from tkinter import *
|
|
from tkinter import ttk
|
|
import login_generator
|

FunctionValue = Item.values()
|
|
Array = list(FunctionValue)
|
|
Login = Array[2]
|
|
self.login_amount.insert(END, "Username : {} \nPassword : {} \n".format(Login[0],Login[1]))
|
|
|
|
except:
|
|
Msg = Toplevel(root)
|
|
l1 = Label(Msg, text="You have to take something")
|
|
l1.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=True)
|
|
|
|
def add_login(self):
|
|
self.username = login_generator.generate_username()
|
|
self.password = login_generator.generate_password(12,self.complex.get())
|
|
self.login_list.insert('', END,values=[self.username, self.password])
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
root = Tk()
|
|
root.title("Login Generator")
|
|
root.geometry("500x300")
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
root.mainloop()
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now let's assume the generate username and password function take some calculation time.
|
|
We'll add in a fake `time.sleep` to simulate.

|
A clear separation of responsabilities can be acchieved via an MVC pattern and a login *library*.
|
|
The library code is quite straightforward and goes as follows.
|
|
It's basically the same code we did before but with added `try except` blocks.
|
|
Can you tell me why I added those?
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import random
|
|
import string
|
|
|
|
|
|
def load_file(filename):
|
|
"""
|
|
We load a file and make a list out of it. Note that the same function is
|
|
used for both files (both adjectives and subjects). Functions should be
|
|
made as generic as possible.
|
|
|
|
There IS a problem you can fix, some logins will have spaces in them. Try
|
|
to remove them in this function!
|
|
"""
|
|
words = []
|
|
with open(filename, "r") as fp:
|
|
lines = fp.readlines()
|
|
for line in lines:
|
|
words.append(line.strip()) # what does strip() do, what does append() do? remember CTRL+Q!
|
|
return words
|
|
|
|
|
|
def generate_username():
|
|
"""
|
|

|
|
"""
|
|
try:
|
|
adjectives = load_file("./adjectives.txt")
|
|
except:
|
|
adjectives = ["big", "funny", "normal", "red"]
|
|
try:
|
|
subjects = load_file("./subjects.txt")
|
|
except:
|
|
subjects = ["giraffe", "elephant", "cougar", "tiger"]
|
|
adjective = random.choice(adjectives)
|
|
subject = random.choice(subjects)
|
|
username = adjective.capitalize() + subject.capitalize()
|
|
return username
|
|
|
|
|
|
def generate_password(length=10, complictated=True):
|
|
"""
|
|
We generate a password with default settings. You can overide these by
|
|
changing the arguments in the function call.
|
|
"""
|
|
password = ""
|
|
if complictated:
|
|
chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
|
|
else:
|
|
chars = string.ascii_letters
|
|
for i in range(0, length):
|
|
password += random.choice(chars)
|
|
return password
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
# let's do some testing!
|
|
username_test = generate_username()
|
|
print(username_test)
|
|
password_test = generate_password()
|
|
print(password_test)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And now the GUI code nicely split up in a **model**, **controller** and a **view**.
|
|
The overhead is quite large but it makes the code a lot more scalable.

# WXpython
|
|
|
|
## wxpython helloworld
|
|
|
|
The absolute most basic way to have a *hello world* GUI program up and running with wxpython is the following.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import wx
|
|
|
|
app = wx.App()
|
|
|
|
frame = wx.Frame(None, title="hello world")
|
|
|
|
frame.Show()
|
|
|
|
app.MainLoop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While it works we know better by now.
|
|
We should include the `if __name__ == "__main__"` statement.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import wx
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
app = wx.App()
|
|
frame = wx.Frame(None, title="hello world")
|
|
frame.Show()
|
|
app.MainLoop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The instance of `wx.App` is what will actually process our event loop and the `wx.Frame` is the content of our window.
|
|
In the latter we will create our button and labels so should create our own class and inherit from it.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import wx
|
|
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title="hello world")
|
|
self.Show()
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
app = wx.App()
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
app.MainLoop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can add content to the *frame*, such as labels, input boxes and buttons as follows.
|
|
Note the first argument to the `wx.StaticText` creation.
|
|
This is *where* we put the label *into*.
|
|
It kind of works but we'll encounter a **problem** when we pack more visual **objects** into the same frame.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import wx
|
|
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title="hello world")
|
|
self.label = wx.StaticText(self, label="this is a label")
|
|
self.Show()
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
app = wx.App()
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
app.MainLoop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's try to put multiple visual object into the same frame.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import wx
|
|
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title="hello world")
|
|
self.label = wx.StaticText(self, label="this is a label")
|
|
self.input = wx.TextCtrl(self)
|
|
self.button = wx.Button(self)
|
|
self.Show()
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
app = wx.App()
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
app.MainLoop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You see how they are *stacked* one on top of the other?
|
|
We can overcome this problem with [sizers](https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/sizers_overview.html).
|
|
There are multiple ones we can use but let's dive into a first one called a **box sizer**.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import wx
|
|
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title="hello world")
|
|
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
|
|
self.box = wx.BoxSizer()
|
|
self.label = wx.StaticText(self.panel, label="this is a label")
|
|
self.input = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel)
|
|
self.button = wx.Button(self.panel, label="I'm clickable!")
|
|
self.box.Add(self.label)
|
|
self.box.Add(self.input)
|
|
self.box.Add(self.button)
|
|
self.panel.SetSizer(self.box)
|
|
self.Show()
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This is looking better!
|
|
But it requires some explanation though.
|
|
Let's break it down.
|
|
The `wx.Frame` is your **window** in which you create a `wx.Panel` which is used to draw thing to.
|
|
To this panel you're adding three different *objects* (`wx.StaticText`, `wx.TextCtrl` and `wx.Button`) each with or without their own settings (such as a label or not).
|
|
Next you add these three objects to the `wx.BoxSizer` and you tell the panel to use this box as sizer.
|
|
It probably looks a bit convoluted but this is how most GUI libraries work internally.
|
|
|
|
1. You create a frame
|
|
2. Within this frame you create a *drawing area* and set some form of automatic layout to it (the `wx.BoxSizer`).
|
|
3. You create the visual elements you want and add them one by one to the drawing area.
|
|
4. Success
|
|
|
|
Now how do we link **user input** to **code actions**?
|
|
This is a complicated way of saying *actually do something when I click the damn button*!
|
|
For this we'll need to create a function, or better yet a method to the `wx.Frame` objects.
|
|
Each time we click the button, that method will be called.
|
|
Because it is a *method* it has access to *self* so it can modify *anything* within the scope of the instance.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import wx
|
|
import random
|
|
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title="hello world")
|
|
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
|
|
self.box = wx.BoxSizer()
|
|
self.label = wx.StaticText(self.panel, label="this is a label")
|
|
self.input = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel)
|
|
self.button = wx.Button(self.panel, label="I'm clickable!")
|
|
self.button.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.set_label_value)
|
|
self.box.Add(self.label)
|
|
self.box.Add(self.input)
|
|
self.box.Add(self.button)
|
|
self.panel.SetSizer(self.box)
|
|
self.Show()
|
|
|
|
def set_label_value(self, event):
|
|
number = random.randint(0, 100)
|
|
self.label.SetLabel("{}".format(number))
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
app = wx.App()
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
app.MainLoop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can use the same *idea* to grab input from the textbox.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import wx
|
|
|
|
|
|
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title="hello world")
|
|
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
|
|
self.box = wx.BoxSizer()
|
|
self.label = wx.StaticText(self.panel, label="this is a label")
|
|
self.input = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel)
|
|
self.button = wx.Button(self.panel, label="I'm clickable!")
|
|
self.button.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.set_label_value)
|
|
self.box.Add(self.label)
|
|
self.box.Add(self.input)
|
|
self.box.Add(self.button)
|
|
self.panel.SetSizer(self.box)
|
|
self.Show()
|
|
|
|
def set_label_value(self, event):
|
|
msg = self.input.GetValue()
|
|
self.label.SetLabel("{}".format(msg))
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
app = wx.App()
|
|
win = MainWindow()
|
|
app.MainLoop()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

A simple console only MVC.

For a GUI only login generator an implementation without MVC could look a bit like this.
|
|
Note that the actual calculation is done inside the window itself.
|
|
This is not a good idea because we should separate responsibilities into classes!
|

|
A clear separation of responsabilities can be acchieved via an MVC pattern and a login *library*.
|
|
The library code is quite straightforward and goes as follows.
|
|
It's basically the same code we did before but with added `try except` blocks.
|
|
Can you tell me why I added those?
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import random
|
|
import string
|
|
|
|
|
|
def load_file(filename):
|
|
"""
|
|
We load a file and make a list out of it. Note that the same function is
|
|
used for both files (both adjectives and subjects). Functions should be
|
|
made as generic as possible.
|
|
|
|
There IS a problem you can fix, some logins will have spaces in them. Try
|
|
to remove them in this function!
|
|
"""
|
|
words = []
|
|
with open(filename, "r") as fp:
|
|
lines = fp.readlines()
|
|
for line in lines:
|
|
words.append(line.strip()) # what does strip() do, what does append() do? remember CTRL+Q!
|
|
return words
|
|
|
|
|
|
def generate_username():
|
|
"""
|
|
We'll generate a random pair of adjectives and subjects from two wordlists.
|
|
You NEED to have both files in you python project for this to work! Note
|
|
the capitalize method call to make it all prettier...
|
|
"""
|
|
try:
|
|
adjectives = load_file("./adjectives.txt")
|
|
except:
|
|
adjectives = ["big", "funny", "normal", "red"]
|
|
try:
|
|
subjects = load_file("./subjects.txt")
|
|
except:
|
|
subjects = ["giraffe", "elephant", "cougar", "tiger"]
|
|
adjective = random.choice(adjectives)
|
|
subject = random.choice(subjects)
|
|
username = adjective.capitalize() + subject.capitalize()
|
|
return username
|
|
|
|
|
|
def generate_password(length=10, complictated=True):
|
|
"""
|
|
We generate a password with default settings. You can overide these by
|
|
changing the arguments in the function call.
|
|
"""
|
|
password = ""
|
|
if complictated:
|
|
chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
|
|
else:
|
|
chars = string.ascii_letters
|
|
for i in range(0, length):
|
|
password += random.choice(chars)
|
|
return password
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
|
# let's do some testing!
|
|
username_test = generate_username()
|
|
print(username_test)
|
|
password_test = generate_password()
|
|
print(password_test)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And now the GUI code nicely split up in a **model**, **controller** and a **view**.
|
|
The overhead is quite large but it makes the code a lot more scalable.
