Future Python Gui?

K

Kevin Walzer

For posterity's sake, here's what I did...

- install python http://www.python.org/download/
(use the Windows MSI install package)
- go to http://bruno.thoorens.free.fr/ and do the download
- instructions say to copy "tty.py" to "Tkinter" folder, but that
doesn't exist
- copy instead to C:\Python25\Lib
- copy folders as directed (to C:\Python25\Tcl)

This should also work with the ActivePython download at
http://www.activestate.com/products/activepython/ .

Within your program, you need:

# Import "Tile" theming engine
tkroot.tk.call('package', 'require', 'tile')
tkroot.tk.call('namespace', 'import', '-force', 'ttk::*')
tkroot.tk.call('tile::setTheme', 'xpnative')

after your call to "tkroot = Tk()" (or "tkroot = Tkinter.Tk()" if you
just "import Tkinter").

The frustrating part is that the main reason I wanted this is because
it says it wraps a "Notebook" widget. If it does, I can't find it!
<sigh>

-- Brian

The wrapper I maintain works differently, and includes the notebook widget.

The wrapper I maintain works differently, and includes the notebook widget.

I've seen the page. You can get to it via Google's cache; just put
the url in the box and the one search result returned usually has a
"cached" link.

However, that file is completely useless without instructions on how
to use it, and there are no instructions within the page or file.

That is:
- exactly where does it get installed
- what else needs to get installed (eg. some dll)
- where do you find these other things
- where does that something else get installed
- how do you import this module
- how does use of Tkinter change (if at all) once imported

I know all this stuff is obvious to those that have been working with
it for a while, but for those of us just getting started with Python,
it's immensely frustrating that we're assumed to know all these steps.

to use it, and there are no instructions within the page or file.

That is:
- exactly where does it get installed

In your Python site-packages directory.
- what else needs to get installed (eg. some dll)

The Tile package. Install ActiveTcl from http://www.activestate.com,
find the Tile package, and copy it to Python's installation of Tcl/Tk
(find the libs directory--I'm not on a Windows box ATM and don't
remember exactly).
- where do you find these other things
http://www.activestate.com

- where does that something else get installed

See above.
- how do you import this module

import Tile
- how does use of Tkinter change (if at all) once imported

It shouldn't change at all. I use Frame for Tkinter frames and
Tile.Frame for Tile frames, since a lot of the widgets have the same
names. Here's a sample:

from Tkinter import *
import Tile


root = Tk()
root.tk.call('package', 'require', 'tile')

def printme():
print "You clicked me"


frame = Tile.Frame(root)
frame.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=TRUE)

button = Tile.Button(frame, text="Print", command=printme)
button.pack()

root.mainloop()

HTH,

Thanks for all the info.

I'm a little confused about using both Tkinter and Tile at the same
time. Do the calls to Tkinter now get themed?

What is the benefit of calling similar widgets for both modules within
the same code? Why wouldn't I call everything via Tile? (i.e. "from
Tile import *" and not import Tkinter at all)

Thanks!

Because Tile depends on Tkinter, and also, not everything from Tkinter
is in Tile (text widget, menus, etc).

I am not a hacker, just a software developer, but I'd have no problems
in either installing PyGTK on Ubuntu box (sudo apt-get install
python-gtk2, but it's installed by default anyway) or on Windows XP
machine (double click on installer icon). "Simple user" is not an idiot
either and if she can read English, she wouldn't have hard time too.

The rumours on "problems installing GUI toolkits" are greatly exagerated
IMO.

It might not be a big deal for your own computer,
but if you are distributing software professionally
to a bunch of customers, things get more complex.

Let's say your customers use RHEL4 for instance. If you
would like to use a recent PyGTK, this means that the
GTK libs in RHEL4 aren't new enough. Upgrading GTK will
force you to upgrade a bunch of other libraries as well.

That means that the system will no longer be the vanilla
RHEL4 with your additions. Bugs might pop up in other
applications on the system than yours, because they
assumed other versions of shared objects. You can
(perhaps) install the newer versions of the libs in
non-standard locations and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
that location for your program, but that means that
things brake fairly easy, and if you for instance have
a larger system, where Python scripts relying on this
new PyGTK are started from a Python interpreter embedded
in some big application, this big application will also
see the newer versions of all those shared objects that
PyGKT pulled in. Unless you are very careful, other
programs that you start up from within your application
(maybe it's possible to spawn a new shell from your app
with the embedded Python interpreter and start arbitrary
applications from there) will also get the non-standard
shared objects.

If you just install the shared objects the new PyGTK rely
on in the standard locations, you have probably removed
security patches and bug fixes added to the software by
Red Hat from the system. Any application might cease to
work, and the customer might have problem getting support
from Red Hat on the system. You might end up with a lot
more support and maintenance work than intended, or get
very unhappy customers.

Now imagine that you have half a dozen other platforms
besides RHEL4 on x86_64 that you need to support...

This is a problem you need to deal with if you develop
software for Unix. It's not impossible to solve all these
problems, but there is certainly a cost in this. If you
handle it well, there is a cost in testing and adapting
the systems. If you don't handle it well, there might
be a big cost in handling emergencies and dealing with
unhappy customers or users.
