GTK or TKinter (or what else?)

Hi,
I use python under linux and would like to create some GUI applications. I
have seen that Python can be used together woth some different graphic
libraries and would like to have a suggestion about which one to use.
I feel like GTK is better documented bud would not like to create programs
which are not fully portable. Moreover, I know you can use wxWindows as
well... I have tried it in my C program and didn't like the way events were
handled. Are there any differences in Python?
Thanks
Marco

Right now I'm using wax, (a wxWindows wrapper that hides some
of that sort of thing).


In relation to an earlier thread, I took a look through my
Qt book again, and noted that it does require passing in
the parent when creating a widget (although it is passed as
the last parameter which seems wrong to me) and the layout
and containment hierarchies are also different.

The '-1' issue can't really go away unless Python allowed
default arguments in the middle of an argument list, which
would probably be a bad thing.

I would like to link the contents of three OptionMenu lists. When I select an item from the first list (call it continents), the contents of the 2nd list (call it countries) would update. And in turn the contents of the 3rd list (call it states would be updated by a change in the 2nd list. If anyone can share a recipe or some ideas, I'd be grateful! Here's some sample code that displays three OptionMenus, but doesn't update the list...

I have a Tkinter app running on cygwin. It includes a Test menu item that does nothing more than fetch a directory listing and display it in a Toplevel window (I'd use a tkMessageBox showinfo widget, but for some reason the text is invisible on cygwin). After I close the Toplevel widget, all of the menus in my app behave as though they have no contents to them, i..e I can press on the File menu button, and see it depress, but the Exit...

Hello: Below I have included a stripped down version of the GUI I am working on. It contains 2 dialog boxes - one main and one settings. It has the following problems, probably all related, that I am hoping someone knows what I am doing wrong: 1) Pressing the Settings.. Button multiple times, brings up many instances of the Settings Panel. I just want it to bring up one. Is there an easy way to do that?

I'm not sure how often members of this list visit the Tkinter wiki at http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/FrontPage; this wiki seems to have less traffic in general than the Tcl/Tk wiki at http://wiki.tcl.tk. Given that, I hope it's not out of line for me to call attention to several pages that I've posted about integrating Tile (http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile) and TableList (http://www.nemethi.de, http://wiki.tcl.tk/5527) into...

I'm trying to match against Event.type for KeyPress and ButtonPress. Currently I'm using integer constants (2 and 4). Are these constants defined anywhere? The docs talk about KeyPress and ButtonPress, but I don't see them in any of the Tkinter source files. Are these just magic values that come out of the TK side of things and are not defined in Python? Code like this makes me think I'm doing something wrong: if event.type == 2:...

Hi, One of my python program needs tkinter to be installed to run successfully. I am using Redhat 9.0 and hence tried installing by copying the tkinter-2.2.2-36.i386.rpm alone from the CD 3 to my pc. But, it is not getting installed and is failing by throwing the below errors. Should i need to configure / install any specific files for resolving this issue ?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
