Just trying to learn to use Tkinter.

python 2.7.3  OS Ubuntu 12.4

This code

#!/usr/bin/python

top = Tkinter.Tk()

v = top.StringVar()
Label(master, textvariable=v).pack()

v.set("hello")

top.mainloop()

returns this error message

Please what am I doing wrong?

Dear Chris,

StringVar is a method in the module Tkinter, it is not a method of a
Tk instance.
Also, you reference an undefined "master" in the Label line.
Thus, the following should work:

from  Tkinter import Tk, StringVar, Label
top =Tk()
v = StringVar()
Label(top, textvariable=v).pack()
v.set("hello")
top.mainloop()

Thanks for the pointer. The tutorial I was working through did not explain
where the StringVar() came from, and showed what I now understand as a
code snippet.

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Cursor Index From Tkinter.Text in <KeyRelease>
	Gives Insconsistent Column, Test Case
Message-ID: <b5cf5392ebca5fe91393667f2cb577f7@email.freenet.de>




I want to get the cursor position (line and column) of the insertion point of a Tkinter.Text, but you may assume the answer is easy until you run this simple test run.? Acutally I hope someone finds it easy.

PROBLEM: My text editor project requires a custom undo/redo for Tkinter.Text. I put in the same string for both Test One and Test Two below, but undo does not act consistently due to a inconsistent column variable in KeyRelease event handler given by Tkinter. The problem seems to be that I type too fast for second test which produces a bad column value. Can you help me find the problem?

TWO TEST PROCESS TO REPRODUCE THE ERROR:

TEST ONE

??????? Type this string slowly: 'one two three'
??????? Press F1 to see each word undo.

??? Result: Works fine. (For me atleast. Ephasis: type slowly.)

TEST TWO

??????? Type the same string as fast as you can: 'one two three'
??????? Press F1 to see each word undo.

??? Result: Gets the wrong column and does not undo properly. (Restart script and repeat this step if you don't see the error at first, it sometimes works fine with fast typing. I usually get it with 3 to 4 tries at the most.)

QUESTION: Is this a bug in Tkinter, or am I not understanding something specific within Tkinter that would produce consistent columns for my undo/redo records?



from Tkinter import *

class TextView(Text):

??? def __init__(self, root):
??????? Text.__init__(self, root)

??????? self.history = History(self)
??????? self.bind("<KeyRelease>", self.keyRelease)

??????? # used to capture a char at a time in keyRelease.? If space char is pressed it , self.word)

if __name__ == "__main__":
??? root = Tk()
??? root.geometry("400x200+0+0")

??? textView = TextView(root)
??? textView.pack()
??? root.bind("<F1>", textView.undo)
??? root.bind("<F2>", textView.redo)

??? root.mainloop()

Looks like there is something missing here :-)
Could you please post a short but complete code example that exhibits the
problem?

I'm not sure where to go from here. If tkConfig.sh and tclConfig.sh don't know where the headers are, where would you look for headers?

There is no tkPort.h anywhere under /anaconda

I've never seen configure generate include paths with a lot of hyphens. Is that coming from tkConf.sh or tclConf.sh?

Thanks

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] tkinter on android?
Message-ID: <3j4LFz03p5z7Lky@mail.python.org>

Has there been any work on porting tkinter to Android
yet?  The usual searches come up empty, but the following
looks like a promising development in the Tcl/Tk front:

  http://www.androwish.org/index.html/home

and there may be a few usable Python 2.X and 3.X Android 
ports to build on ("Python for Android" search results
turn up SL4A, QPython, and others).

This may or may not be feasible, but there are a lot of 
tkinter GUIs which would be great to have on an Android 
device; personally, I have tkinter-based text editors, 
clocks, email clients, calculators, and now calendars 
that see daily action elsewhere.

Thanks,
--Mark Lutz  (http://learning-python.com, http://www.rmi.net/~lutz)
