wxPython and Tkinter

Hi all,
I migrate some code from tkinter to wxpython. I need the equivalent
Tkinter method Tkinter.Tk.afte r
in wxPython, but I'm not able to find it. It exist or there are other
trick to emulate it?

thank you

"after" in Tk method allows to all a function every X milliseconds.

I think you need to setup an wx.Timer object.
self.timer = wx.Timer(self)
self.Bind(wx.EV T_TIMER, self.OnTimer, self.timer)

where the self.OnTimer is the method you want to call.
You need to start the timer:
self.timer.Star t()

That's it, I think.

I've been experimenting with passing a window handle from a wxPython app to a Tkinter app. The Tkinter app should embed a Toplevel window containing a Canvas widget in the wxPython app's Frame (see example below). Both apps run, but the Tkinter app's output doesn't appear. Can anyone see why this isn't working? Using wxPython-2.5.1/Python 2.3.3/Win98 and Win2000.

See: http://www.wxpython.org/quotes.php. especially: "wxPython is the best and most mature cross-platform GUI toolkit, given a number of constraints. The only reason wxPython isn't the standard Python GUI toolkit is that Tkinter was there first." - Guido van Rossum Guess, that answers my question, but isn't "Tkinter was there first" a very bad answer? :) It is kinda ugly too, so I wonder why it can't be replaced? Or maybe another GUI...

I am looking for some input on GUI libraries. I want to build a Python-driven GUI, but don't really understand the playing field very well. I have generally heard good things about wxPython. I happen to already own John Grayson's book about Tkinter programming, so that is rather handy if I decide to use Tkinter. I have done some things slightly more involved than "Hello World" in Tkinter - I have never used wxPython. So, basically the...

Hi ! I've looked all over (internet, books, etc.) and I haven't found a very good ressource to get started with wxPython (yes, I've been through their tutorial). What I would basically like to do for starters is to be able to define the main panel being displayed. For example : 1. wxFrame contains a wxPanel (call it mainPanel). 2. mainPanel contains another panel (childPanelA)

I'm porting a Tkinter application to wxPython and had a question about wxPython's event loop. The Tkinter app provides a GUI to a command-line tool. It gathers user input, and opens an asynchronous pipe to the external tool via os.popen(). Then, it dumps the output from the external process into a text display. Although threads are often recommended for use with GUI apps, I am able to keep the GUI responsive with Tkinter's event loop,...

Hi, I'm in the process of writing some code and noticed a strange problem while doing so. I'm working with PythonWin 210 built for Python 2.5. I noticed the problem for the last py file processed by this script, where the concerned tmp file is only actually written to when PythonWin is closed. In other words, after I run this script, one of the generated tmp files has a size of 0kB. I then close PythonWin and it is then written to.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

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.
