Hi Michael,

Thank you for your reply, but I'm on a PC / Linux Ubuntu 14.10 with 
Tkinter/Tk version 8.6 for Python3, standard installation, no specific 
tuning.

I'm working this way to fit as much as possible with customers' machines 
who'd use my apps, generally without making any changes to their 
platform pre-installed packages.

I'm not looking for a bug fix on my own, I'd like to acknowledge 
Tkinter's dev team that this bug exists, hoping that in some late days 
it will be fixed everywhere for everybody. :)

I thought tkinter-discuss was the best place for this.
I don't know if there is a bugtracker for Tkinter somewhere.
I don't even know if Tkinter is still in development, in fact.

Is it?

Regards.

Please could someone tell me why this is not working?

root = Tk()
e = Entry(root)
e.grid(column=0, row=0)
info = e.grid_info()

Paul,
Are you trying to create a loop to add entry 
fields to a form?

No

I want to store the info detail so that if I later forget the widget I
can restore it to the same position using the stored details.

Hi Jeff

The problem seems to have occurred with version 2.7.6 of python in linux.

I always found it impossible to predict the occurence of these
TclObjects, it seems to me that they depend on a combination of Python
and Tcl/Tk versions that are not fully compatible, this is why I
recommend setting wantobjects to False when writing code that is supposed
to work on different systems, with unknown Python/Tk combinations.

Btw, I think I read somewhere that wantobjects = False is supposed to
work now with recent versions of Python3, too (never tested it myself,
though)

Michael

Hi Michael

I tried using wantobjects=False but found that it broke too many other
things like e.g. cget['size'], cget['width'], Treeview selection and
some others. I found that in this case it was easier to create my own
geom_info function.

glad to hear that everything works for you now.
Of course you are right, changing this in an existing project is likely
to cause quite a bunch of side effects. I usually set wantobjects to
False right from the start, then it does not add much cost to use calls
like int(cget('size')) etc. Maybe "ad hoc" type-conversions as these have
an impact on performance in some situations, if really a lot of them have
to be done, but I never experienced any problems of that kind.

Michael

What are Python and Tk versions?

I don't think Python 2.7 is compatible with Tk 8.6. Have you tried 8.5?

I thought Python 3 was intended to be used with Tk 8.6 but this page 
suggests otherwise:

Current versions of Python 2.7.x and 3.4.x are being shipped by various 
distributors with Tk versions 8.4, 8.5, and/or 8.6.  If there's a 
specific problem with using 8.6, please open an issue at bugs.python.org.

Hi,

I want to redirect the console or command line output to a python gui in
realtime.

But most of the codes i have seen waits for the script to complete than
show up in gui.

My script is long and it shows is progress while executing, i want a
realtime output on gui.

Code snippet:













































*import wxfrom wx.lib.delayedresult import startWorker from subprocess
import Popen, PIPEclass MainWindow(wx.Frame):    def __init__(self, *args,
**kwargs):        wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)        self.button = wx.Button(self.panel,
label="Run!")        self.command = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel)
self.result = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)
self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)        self.sizer.Add(self.command,
0, wx.EXPAND)        self.sizer.Add(self.button, 0, wx.EXPAND)
self.sizer.Add(self.result, 1, wx.EXPAND)
self.command.SetValue("dir")        self.button.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,
self.CallCommand)        self.panel.SetSizerAndFit(self.sizer)
self.Show()    def CallCommand(self, e):
startWorker(self.WorkCommandDone, self.WorkCommand)    def
WorkCommand(self):        self.button.Disable()        p =
Popen(self.command.GetValue(), shell=True,                   stdin=PIPE,
stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)        while True:            line =
p.stdout.readline()            if line != '':
wx.CallAfter(self.result.AppendText, line)            else:
break    def WorkCommandDone(self, result):        self.button.Enable()app
= wx.App(False)win = MainWindow(None)app.MainLoop()*
help me to modify to this code to suit my requirement, or suggest me any
other way,

Thanks,
kamlendra

Hi,

Look at this package - pytkapp. See demo script in this package -
<packagedir>/demo/run_ptamdidemo.py, after start - select ThreadChild
btn from toolbar (button with lighting)
