Message-ID: <18802754.post@talk.nabble.com>


I wonder if someone who understands Python and Tkinter a bit better than I
could help me out.  Basically, I'm trying to encapsulate the kind of messy
stuff associated with setting up a listbox with a scrollbar in a Python
class.  From my probably incredibly naive point of view, it doesn't look too
hard.

class ScrolledList(Frame,Listbox,Scrollbar) :
  #At this point we have a template for objects that have all the 
  #attributes and methods of Frames,Listboxes,and Scrollbars.  For 
  #names that occur in all, the Frame version takes precedence over 
  #the Listbox version and that in turn takes precedence over 
  #Scrollbar version

  def __init__ (self, Tkobject, height=4, width=50) :
    #This code is executed whenever a new scrolled list object is
    #created (instantiated)
    self.f = Frame(Tkobject)
    s = Scrollbar(self.f,orient=VERTICAL)
    self.l = Listbox(self.f, height=height, width=width,
yscrollcommand=s.set, exportselection=0)
   #We have now created a frame, scrollbar and listbox     

    s.config(command=self.l.yview) 
    s.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y); self.l.pack()
   #And configured the listbox and scrollbar to interact

And it creates a Tkinter object with a gazillion attributes.  Unfortunately
tk isn't one of them.  When I try to invoke the methods, I am informed that
the new object has no 'tk' attribute.  That's correct.  It doesn't. 
Apparently I have failed to call some necessary constructor.  But which?

Maybe I'm close to having it right because if I create a grid attribute in
the class and pass the parameters to the frame grid method, the scrolled
listbox can be configured and displayed.

  def grid(self,row=90,column=1,rowspan=5,columnspan=4,sticky=W) :
   
self.f.grid(row=row,column=column,rowspan=rowspan,columnspan=columnspan,sticky=sticky)

What am I doing wrong, or not doing right?

I won't answer the original question - sorry, no time to look at the code
:-)

But why roll your own? There is a PMW widget called ScrolledListBox that
probably does all that you require.

I would highly recommend the PMW distribution - it is exceptionally well
thought out and (IMO :-)) brilliantly executed. You can find it through any
of the Python resource pages or by Googling "Python PMW". It has been around
(and exceptionally stable) for a number of years now - it is at v1.2. I have
been using it for close to 8 years and it has only been up rev'd once in
that time.

It forms an excellent framework for creating your own composite widgets as
well. There is a bit of a learning curve to achieve that part (using
ScrolledListBox is easy) but once you get your head around the philosophy of
the package it is fantastically powerful.

So have a look at PMW - I can't recommend it enough :-)

There are two ways to create your own widgets with Tkinter: subclass from an 
existing widget or construct your new widget in a Frame.  Subclassing from a 
Frame is the more general method.  Subclassing an existing widget is usually 
only useful if you are creating a specialized version of an existing widget. 
If your widget is a composite of two or more existing widgets (often called 
a megawidget), you should almost always use the Frame approach. 
Alternatively you can use a widget-building framework such as PMW.

Here's how to get started:  In your constructor you first initialize the 
superclass then create your childwidgets.  The parent of the subwidgets is 
self.

class ScrolledList( Tkinter.Frame ):
   def __init__( self, parent, **options ):
      Tkinter.Frame.__init__( self, parent, **options )

      self._list = Tkinter.List( self )
      self._scrollbar = Tkinter.Scrollbar( self )

      self._list.pack( side=Tkinter.LEFT )
      self._scrollbar.pack( side=Tkinter.LEFT )


This allows your widget to behave like any other widget.  That is to use 
your widget, you construct it:

   myWidgetInstance = ScrolledList( aParentWidget, ... )

Then you pack, grid or place it to display it.

   myWidgetInstance.pack( )

If you want to allow your widget to handle its own custom widget options, 
you need to pull these options out of the **options argument before calling 
Tkinter.Frame.__init__( ... ).

If you don't like the .pack() methods being in __init__, you could override 
pack(), grid() and place() and pack the list and scrollbar there instead.

Hope this helps

Ron -- Thanks, I thought I was doing about what you describe, but apparently
not as the tk attribute for the class objects is not getting set up.  I'm a
bit hazy on what the tk attribute does (other than making things work) and
can't find much about it via Google.  I'll go back and subclass from frame
rather than trying to multiply inherit from Frame, List, and Scrollbar.

Peter -- Thanks also.  I was aware of the PMW scrolledlist.  And it works
fine.  But I don't want to use any components that are not part of the
standard Python distribution.  Should have mentioned that, but the post was
getting overlong.

===

As a practical matter, I discovered after I posted, that I can access my
frame, list (and probably scrollbar as well) methods from the main program
via their objects.  That is to say that the way I did it, a scrolled list
object sl doesn't have a directly usable grid or insert method, but
sl.f.grid(... or sl.l.insert seem to work fine.

What bothers me, isn't that I can't get things to work.  It's that I clearly
don't understand what is going on.

Hi,

I just started using Tkinter in windows, and I was wondering if it is
possible to hide the button from tk window that appears in the taskbar
while still showing this window. I couldn't find any clue. All I could
do was hide everything (button + window).

Thanks!

Well, here are some clues - the "multiple" inheritance doesn't seem to work
the way the manual *implies* it should i.e. multiple inheritance is
described as searching for methods in the first inheritance and then all
it's ancestors, then onto the next and all its ancestors and so on.

To get an "insert" (Listbox) method on your class you need to invoke the
__init__ method on the super classes (sub-classes should always invoke the
initialisation of their super class anyway - so that is something your class
definition is definitely missing!) i.e.

   Listbox.__init__(self)

If you do just this, then ScrolledList has the Listbox attributes (and none
of the others). If you then add initialisation of Scrollbar then you have
this:

    Listbox.__init__(self)
    Scrollbar.__init__(self)

And viola! ScrolledList now has the methods of Scrollbar - and "lost" the
methods of Listbox.

So without being any kind of expert on Tk objects with inheritance etc it
looks very much as though you have attempted too simplistic an approach to
creating what amounts to a "composite" object.

I would suggest that you pick one of your 3 objects to do the real
inheritance - and then create actual methods on ScrolledList that
"duplicate" the methods of the other object methods. That is the only way I
can see you get this working at the moment.

Hope this helps
Peter

Well one of the best ways is to read the manual first. Some quite reasonable TkInter documentation is available here:

http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/

You might look for documentation on the Text widget and then "Methods on Text widgets". The Text widget is pretty good at dealing with text; I'm sure there will be some way of getting rid of unwanted text.

Message-ID: <18948087.post@talk.nabble.com>


I am having trouble figuring out the best way to do this and would love some
help.

What I need to do is to create clickable links in a text widget, but there
will be at max 40. They will all be different. I am wondering what is the
best way to create a clickable unique url in a text widget. I know that you
can bind tags, but the problem with that is since each url is unique that
would mean 40 tags to get what I want... at least, as far as I know, there
might be a way to do it that I just don't know. 

Sorry if I am being vague, I just don't know what else to say. If you need
any extra info just reply I would be happy to provide.

Message-ID: <a24554e40808121818h17de939asd15fd2c5a766e6c1@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings,

I've followed some of the discussion on the list concerning the
problem of getting some Unicode characters to display properly. As
suggested in a few messages, I've recompiled my python to link to
Tcl/Tk8.5. I know this has succeeded, as running Tkinter._test() pops
up a dialog confirming that I'm using 8.5.

Unfortunately, there still seem to be problems displaying Unicode
characters properly. The following snippet demonstrates (disclaimer:
I'm not a Tkinter guru by any means)...

import Tkinter
root = Tkinter.Tk()
w1 = Tkinter.Button(root, text=u"\u026E", font=("Lucida Grande",24))
w2 = Tkinter.Label(root, text=u"\u026E", font=("Lucida Grande",24))
w1.pack()
w2.pack

The Button displays the correct character (a digraph from the
International Phonetic Alphabet), whereas the Label displays what
looks like a Chinese kanji character...the same problem as in 8.4.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

For the record, I'm running OSX 10.4.11 on a PPC Mac.


Thanks for any advice or pointers,
Fred.

Tkinter widget instances are proxy objects that delegate method calls to 
an underlying Tk widget.  A widget instance can only be bound to a 
single Tk widget.

Multiple inheritance works as usual at the Tkinter class level, but that 
doesn't help if the widget instance is not bound to the right Tk object 
when you do a method call.

That binds the widget to the underlying Tk listbox widget (see the code 
in Tkinter's BaseWidget for details).  After this call, any method calls 
will be forwarded to the Tk listbox.

After those calls, the widget instance ends up being bound to a Tk 
scrollbar widget.  There's no change in what methods the object has at 
the Python level, though.

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] initial state of radiobutton
Message-ID: <g8240p$uoc$1@ger.gmane.org>

Hi,

I'm trying to create a preferences dialog. At the moment, I'm just 
reading a config file using ConfigParser and displaying this in a 
tkSimpleDialog.

I've got some Entry widgets working okay, but I can't get the 
radiobuttons to work. The code is:

import Tkinter as tk

settings = tk.LabelFrame(master, text="Settings")
settings.grid(row=0, column=0)

tk.Label(settings, text="Angular Units: ").grid(row=0, column=0, 
sticky=tk.E)

angles = tk.StringVar(value=__main__.angles)

tk.Radiobutton(settings, text="Degrees", variable=angles, 
value='degrees').grid(row=0, column=1)

tk.Radiobutton(settings, text="Radians", variable=angles, 
value='radians').grid(row=0, column=2)

When I run this, angles is set to degrees but I don't get the 
radiobutton active (either of them).

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Fred,

Yeah, this question hit my "curiousity bump" and I have been "investigating"
it on and off - as time allows :-)

I "discovered" what you have detailed - the last Tk object "bound" is the
one that tries to interpret the call (via self._w) - and if that happened to
be the Scrollbar then the Listbox methods become "lost" for want of a better
term - and vice versa.

I then started to look at "intercepting" the unsuccessful call i.e. before
the exception is raised, to see if I could potentially "re-route" the
request at run-time - but couldn't work out how to do that, I suspect you
can't?

Dear Iain,

    Makes it easier to test your code if you provide
a standalone example.

I modified your code as follows to get it to run:

import Tkinter as tk
master = tk.Tk()
settings = tk.LabelFrame(master, text="Settings")
settings.grid(row=0, column=0)
tk.Label(settings, text="Angular Units: ").grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=tk.E)
angles = tk.StringVar(value='radians')
tk.Radiobutton(settings, text="Degrees", variable=angles,
value='degrees').grid(row=0, column=1)
tk.Radiobutton(settings, text="Radians", variable=angles,
value='radians').grid(row=0, column=2)
master.mainloop()

...and on my Macosx running python 2.5.2 it runs fine, with buttons selected.

My bet is that angles is not in fact set, or is not set
to one of 'degrees' or 'radians'. Put a print statement to
see what value  __main__.angles has at the point of
setting the variable angles.

Hi Mick,

Sorry about that. The code below does work, however, in my case its a 
little more complex. I'll try and explain. I've put most of the code 
into different modules which get imported in the usual way, so I have 
one that has all the classes for the menu bar. There is also a class in 
here which generates the tkSimpleDialog for the preferences. Is is here 
that I've got the bit of code I posted below.

__main__.angles is set correctly, and if I do:

print tk.StringVar.get(angles)

I get the correct result.

I'm a little confused. Also if I put angles into an Entry widget it is 
correct.

Thanks for your help,

Iain

Hi Iain,

  My earlier reply established that the radio widget IS functioning correctly
on your machine in the usual case. If there is still something wrong, I'd have
to see runnable code from your app which fails to set the radio. Can you
make a minimal case which uses the class structure you discuss, and
still doesn't work, and send it (probably as a compressed archive,
e.g., zip file).

I'll then see if I can find the bug. What OS are you on?

Mick

Dear Alex,

    I think you are on to a valid solution: tag each anchor.

I would use 2 tags:

1) A general tag called for example 'link', which you config
    a) to present itself as a link (e.g., in blue, underlines)
    b) to respond to events, e.g., ButtonRelease

2) a tag for each individual link, which could be an integer
indicating which link it is (e.g., the position of the url in a list
of  urls).

When you insert the text of the anchor in the widget, specify: ('link', str(i))

The action bound to the ButtonRelease event can recover which link was pressed,
and recover the appropriate url to follow.

E.g.

from Tkinter import *
master = Tk()

LINKS=("http://www.python.org", "http://www.heaven.com")

def showLink(event):
    idx= int(event.widget.tag_names(CURRENT)[1])
    print LINKS[idx]

txt=Text(master)
txt.pack(expand=True, fill="both")
txt.insert(END, "Press ")
txt.insert(END, "here ", ('link', str(0)))
txt.insert(END, "for Python. Press ")
txt.insert(END, "here ", ('link', str(1)))
txt.insert(END, "for Heaven.")
txt.tag_config('link', foreground="blue")
txt.tag_bind('link', '<Button-1>', showLink)

master.mainloop()

Hi Mick,

Sorry about that. Here is the simplest example, which fails:

import Tkinter as tk
import tkSimpleDialog

def edit_preferences(event=None):
     prefs = Preferences(master, title="Preferences")

class Preferences(tkSimpleDialog.Dialog):
     def body(self, master):
         settings = tk.LabelFrame(master, text="Settings")
         settings.grid(row=0, column=0)
         tk.Label(settings, text="Angular Units: ").grid(row=0, 
column=0, sticky=tk.E)
         angles = tk.StringVar(value='radians')
         tk.Radiobutton(settings, text="Degrees", 
variable=angles,value='degrees').grid(row=0, column=1)
         tk.Radiobutton(settings, text="Radians", 
variable=angles,value='radians').grid(row=0, column=2)


master = tk.Tk()

tk.Button(master, text="Prefs", command=edit_preferences).grid()

master.mainloop()

Thanks for your help,

Widgets don't keep references to their option values, so unless you 
explicitly keep a reference to the variable yourself (e.g. via an 
instance attribute, as above), it'll be removed at the end of the method.

Okay, thanks. Not quite sure I follow though, later in my code I have

tk.Label(files, text="Working dir: ").grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=tk.E)
tk.Entry(files, textvariable=workdir).grid(row=0, column=1, sticky=tk.W)

and this worked okay, without the self.var = var bit. Is there a 
difference between the two?

Thanks,

Iain

The first thing that strikes me is an endian issue. You're asking for
Unicode 026E, but Unicode 6E02 might be what you're getting (and it's in the
CJK ideograph range). Is there an endian compiler flag you need to set when
you recompile your python for linking to Tcl/Tk 8.5?

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] configuring temporary entry widget of TableList
	Cell using Python
Message-ID: <000b01c90182$10752a20$315f7e60$@com>

Hi,

 I recently posted this to comp.lang.python & tcl, but have not had much
luck with responses on how to do this.

Really hoping you guys can help with me with this. No doubt the answer is
right under my nose!

Let me know if it is useful for me to provide a direct example of what I am
trying to achieve. 

I really look forward to receiving correspondence on this!

 

Best Regards,

 

Lee

 

 

Hi, 

I am using Tkinter & the Kevin Walzer's TableList Wrapper for python 
implemented GUI: 

http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TableListWrapper 

The TableList has been extremely useful in allowing me to create my 
GUI for my engineering requirements, but I have hit a brick wall and 
need some assistance. 

"I am unable to configure the Temporary Embedded ComboBox List when 
the specific TableList cell is selected for editing" 

I have a registered the Bwidget Combobox widget so I can use this as 
an alternative temporary Entry Widget ( depending on the specific cell 
usage) thanks to some assistance from Kevin Walzer ( Many thanks ). I 
configure the particular cell's edit window (-editwindow ) for 
ComboBox which is working successfully. 
The problem I have is I wish to change the "-values" of the Temporary 
Combobox Widget i.e. a List that I can specify. 
When my "-editstartcommand" call is called I firstly request the pathname of

the Temporary Embedded Widget using, 
 TEW = editwinpath() 
I am then assuming (although I must be wrong!) that I can then do: 

 TEW.configure( values=("my","list","of","Strings")) 

However, this leads to the exception error ->  TEW does not contain 
such an attribute "configure". 
My reference for this procedure is (http://objectmix.com/tcl/377931- 
communicating-tablelist-embedded-widgets.html but also available from 
tcl.tk tablelist coding examples) : 

proc editStartCmd {tbl row col text} { 
set w [$tbl editwinpath] 

switch [$tbl columncget $col -name] { 
currency { 
# 
# Populate the ComboBox and make it non-editable 
# 
$w configure -values {Dollar Euro Yen ...} -editable no 

} 

. . . 

} 

return $text 

} 

It is this procedure I am trying to replicate in Python. Is it 
possible to guide help tell me the right approach here. Of course I 
can submit my code to help ( if this is useful ) but the problem I 
think clear to see from these summary details. 
Please take it easy on me, I am a HW engineer by trade and am slowly 
(but surely) gaining more knowledge & experience in the world of 
Python (and of course Tkinter)! 

B.Regards, 

Lee Walczak

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss]  Problems with a scrollbar on a listbox
Message-ID: <19044535.post@talk.nabble.com>


So I have a listBox and a scrollbar, both in the same frame. I have them set
up just as I do my text widgets, and they work just as they should. Here is
how I have it:

self.urlscrollbar = Scrollbar(self.insidebuffer1)
        self.urlscrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)

self.diclistBox = Listbox(self.insidebuffer1, selectmode=MULTIPLE,
                                  yscrollcommand=self.urlscrollbar.set)
        self.diclistBox.pack(side=TOP, anchor=N, fill=BOTH)

I am on a mac if it matters. But what happens is they show up, and when the
list in the listbox is big enough, the bar turns blue like it is able to
scroll; but it doesn't function. Any ideas? Did I leave something out?

Hi Alex,

  Several issues here.

1)  In some cases, the size a frame will eventually have
depends on what is packed/gridded inside it. So it m,ay not
be possible to tell the size of the frame before adding the list boxes.

The exception here is if you use tell the frame to take the
maximum space (e.g., for pack: expand=True, fill=BOTH
for grid: sticky=NSEW

You can then pack/grid your Frame, and then ask how big it is
using frm.winfo_geometry() or frm.winfo_height() and frm.winfo_width()

2) You cannot get the frame's size until it is packed and displayed.
So, what you can do is something like the following, using update:

from Tkinter import *
tk = Tk()
Label(tk, text="HELLO").pack(side=TOP)
fr=Frame(tk)
fr.pack(side=TOP, fill=BOTH, expand=True)
print "frame size before update: ", fr.winfo_width(), fr.winfo_height()
fr.update()
print "frame size after update: ", fr.winfo_width(), fr.winfo_height()
tk.mainloop()


Not always possible to do this,

Mick

Alex,

  To link a scroller to a widget, you need to link in both directions:
not only setting the yscrollcommand of the ListBox but also:

        self.urlscrollbar.config(command=self. diclistBox.yview)

Example below:

from Tkinter import *

class ScrolledListBox(Frame):

    def __init__(self, master, items=[], width=24, height=20,
bgcol="white", **keywords):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.config(bg=bgcol)

        # Scrollbars
        scrollbar = Scrollbar(self, orient=VERTICAL)

        # Create the listbox
        self.table=Listbox(self, yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set, **keywords)
        self.table.config(bg = bgcol, width=width, height=height)
        scrollbar.config(command=self.table.yview)
        scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
        self.table.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH, expand=1)

        # insert the items
        for item in items:
            self.table.insert(END, item)

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Scrollbar maybe not setting right on a text widget
Message-ID: <19059580.post@talk.nabble.com>


The reason I say "maybe" is because I am not sure if that is what is
happening. 

What happens is that the textbox will fill up (with info the program puts
in, not the user) and the text widget will be at the top, like you will be
looking at the begining of the textbox, but the scrollbar starts at the
bottom of the track. It thinks it is at the bottom, but if you press the
down arrow, it resets and figures it out. I am wondering if I forgot code or
put it out of order?

Oh, and I am using a mac with leopard. 

Here is code:

        self.scrollbar = Scrollbar(self.textFrameBuffer) 
        self.scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
        

        self.text = Text(self.textFrameBuffer,
                         yscrollcommand=self.scrollbar.set)
        self.text.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH, expand=YES)
        
        self.scrollbar.config(command=self.text.yview)

--------The Text is filled in after this point. However, I have done the
exact same setup with a listbox, and it works just as it should-----------

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Tkinter and TableList - Configure the Temporary
	Embedded Widgets
Message-ID: <000001c902fb$2ee24f40$8ca6edc0$@com>

I actually post a topic relating to my problem on this mailing list a couple
of days ago

but I thought it could be useful to place an example of my problem 
here aswell. This a small piece of testcode that creates a TableList. 
When the cell is selected, a ComboBox Widget is used temporarily 
during the editing phase. It is during this ( EditStartCmd call) that 
I wish to configure the "values" of the Widget. My question is, ""How 
do I do this ?"" 

The code below returns the error when the cell is selected. : 

Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "D:\Python25\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1403, in __call__ 
    return self.func(*args) 
  File "D:\PythonWS\TEW Test.py", line 34, in EditStartCmd 
    TEW.configure(values=("This","Is","A","Test"))  # Here I "try" to 
configure the Temporary Widget 
AttributeError: '_tkinter.Tcl_Obj' object has no attribute 'configure' 

I has also provided a normal bwidget combox box ( which I use for the 
Temporary Embedded Widget). It shows the normal method of configuring 
the "values" is working, just the method I assume for embedded ones it 
not. 

Anyone who has experience in Tkinter & Tablelist would really help me 
here. It could be something really silly that I do not appreciate and 
any clues would really help! 

---------------------------------- 

import Tkinter 
import bwidget 
import tktablelist 

root = Tkinter.Tk() 
TestFr = Tkinter.Frame(root) 
TestBox = bwidget.ComboBox(root) 
TestBox.configure( values = ("1","two","4rer")) 

class TableBuilder: 
    def __init__(self, Frame, Titles): 
        self.Table=tktablelist.TableList(Frame, 
                        editstartcommand=self.EditStartCmd, 
            selecttype="cell", 
            stretch = "all", 
            width=20, 
            ) 
        root.tk.call('tablelist::addBWidgetComboBox') 
        self.Table.pack() 
        self.BuildTable(Titles) 

    def BuildTable(self,Titles): 
        I = 0 
        for Title in Titles: 
            self.Table.insertcolumns("end", 0, Title) 
            self.Table.columnconfigure("end",editable='yes', 
editwindow="ComboBox") 
            I +=1 
        for row in range(10): 
            self.Table.insert("end","") 
            self.Table.rowconfigure("end", text=(row,row+1,row*row)) 

    def EditStartCmd(self, table, row, col, text): 
        TEW = self.Table.editwinpath()                        # Here I 
return the Temporary Widget pathname 
        TEW.configure(values=("This","Is","A","Test"))  # Configure 
the Temp Widget - This is wrong! what is right? 

Test = TableBuilder(TestFr,['A','B','C']) 
TestBox = bwidget.ComboBox(root) 
TestBox.configure( text=" This Works!", values = ("1","two","4rer")) 
TestFr.pack() 
TestBox.pack() 
Tkinter.mainloop()

you need to make sure that you keep references to all photoimages that

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Kinetic Scrolling and Keyboard Shortcuts in Menus
Message-ID: <B9166899-2E53-44A1-A9A9-EE2E81B8CE8D@gmail.com>

I'm having trouble trying to make a kinetic scrolling canvas.  The  
code looks something like this...

def scroll(acceleration, speed):
	while speed >= 0:
		canvas.xview_scroll(-speed, "units")
		speed -= acceleration

This doesn't update the drawing of the canvas in real-time (as in,  
every time xview_scroll is called)... it only updates the drawing  
after the while loop has already run, so you don't get to see it  
scroll, which is stupid.  How can I get this to work properly?


Also, I have set keyboard shortcuts for some functions in my program.   
The functions these shortcuts call are also linked to menu items in  
the menu bar.  How can I get the menu labels to reflect the keyboard  
shortcuts for each relative command?  I know I can set the shortcut as  
a string in the label manually, but it will be stupid, not flush with  
the right edge of the menu, like in other programs.


Thanks for helping my program not be stupid

You will need a canvas.update() after that .xview_scroll
But, why aren't you using "after" instead of a while loop for this ?

There are actually two question here.

For the later the answer is.. instead of setting the shortcut it in
the label, use the accelerator option to set it.
The former is about reflecting keyboard shortcuts in menu labels, for
this you will need to roll your own solution or try finding someone
that already did it.

I ran into exactly this keyboard shortcut issue while writing the Rapyd-Tk Python development environment (http://www.bitflipper.ca/rapyd/). My solution is based on these functions, where the left part is the usual menu label and the right part is the shortcut. If the length of the shortcut text varies a lot you can compute the width on the fly as is done in Rapyd, otherwise just use some reasonable constant.


def PadToWidth(LeftPart,RightPart,Width,Widget):
    """
    Given left and right parts, return string of specified width in pixels.
    
    o "LeftPart" is the string to be left justified in the result.
    o "RightPart" is the string to be right justified in the result.
    o "Width" is the desired width, in pixels, of the result.
    o "Widget" the calculation is done with reference to the font set for this widget.
    
    Note that since we pad with space characters, the result will be as close as
        possible to the target size but will not necessarily be exactly the number
        of pixels requested.
    """
    UsedPixels = TextMeasure(LeftPart+RightPart,Widget)
    PadPixels = Width - UsedPixels
    PadCount = int(round(float(PadPixels) / float(TextMeasure(' ',Widget))))
    return '%s%s%s'%(LeftPart,' '*PadCount,RightPart)

def TextMeasure(Text,Widget):
    """=u
    Measure size of "Text", in pixels, if displayed in "Widget".
    """
    return int(Widget.tk.call("font", "measure", Widget["font"]
        ,"-displayof", Widget.master, Text ))

Why did you use that instead of using the accelerator option ? Ok, the
accelerator text doesn't go all the way to the right in the menu but
they get are all aligned and you don't have to worry about doing
anything else, and it is not that bad after all (not as I see at
least).

I'm attaching an image so you can confirm that you dislike its behavior.
