Tkinter questions

What is the recommended/preferred widget in Tkinter in the following areas:

1. Multi-column list display. I'm aware of bindings for Tktable,
tablelist, and mclistbox, as well as Python-megawidgets that handle this.

2. Tree widgets. I'm aware of Gene Cash's tree widget, the IDLE tree
widget, as well as wrappers for BWidgets and tktreectrl.

Rather than wade through every one of these different widgets, I'd like
to get a sense of which ones are actually used in applications and why.
Thanks for any advice.

In the new Python game I'm developing, I need to crop out individual tiles from larger tilesets, and maintain transparency. Unfortunately, I've run into major deficiencies in both Tkinter and PIL (PyGame, wxPython, PyQt, etc. are not really suitable for this program, for a number of reasons, and I have zero interest in discussing why right now). Since the Tkinter.PhotoImage.copy() method doesn't allow a region parameter, I have to save...

Ok.... I am pretty new to Python (as you may have gathered from previous posts). So now it time for another one of my ridiculous questions.... :-) When using 'Tkinter', what is used as the base window to work from, meaning what widget do I use to place all other widgets onto to create a custom dialog ?

Hi everybody, I'm using QuickTimeTcl (3.1) to be able to play movie files in my Tkinter application (Python 2.3.2) on Windows 2000. I was planning to write a simple wrapper class, QuickTimeMovie, that would wrap up the QuickTimeTcl Tcl extension as a Python class. All seems to work pretty fine until the Tkinter application is closed, when the Python interpreter crashes with an error of the following kind: The instruction at...

Hi all, I'm a programming dabbler trying learn Python, and I've got a few questions. Mainly: Where can I find a good open-source library or tutorial (preferably free) that explains how to easily manipulate text in a tKinter window? Basically, I want to be able to do anything that HTML can do (or close to it) but without the HTML. :-)

Hello NG, I'm asking this, (although I know a mailing list on gmane gmane.comp.python.tkinter and there is so little traffic compared to the mailing list of wxPython also mirrored on gmane gmane.comp.python.wxpython. I cannot imagine, that there is no more interest in exchanging opinions, or is this really the case?

Hi, If a user resizes a Toplevel window, or I set a Toplevel's geometry using the geometry() method*, is there any way to have the geometry reset to that required for all the widgets?

In a couple of places recently I've seen Brent Welch's _Practical Programming in Tcl & Tk_ (<http://tinyurl.com/ynlk8b>) recommended for learning Tkinter well. So a couple of questions: 1) Is it really good for learning Tkinter, even though it doesn't mention Tkinter at all (in the 4th edition at least)? 2) If it is good for learning Tkinter, can I get by with a cheaper,

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
