How do you do this in python with tk?

[Ali]

I have a the list:

info = [['Ali',18],
['Zainab',16],
['Khalid',18]]

I want this info to show on a tk window like this:

|--|------------------------|
|TK|Blah |
|--|------------------------|
|Name: Ali |
|Age: 18 |
| |
|Name: Zainab |
|Age: 16 |
| |
|Name: Khalid |
|Age: 18 |
|---------------------------|

I was wondering how to do this?

Do you even try to figure these things out before posting?

You could create a Text widget and insert lines of text in it.

import Tkinter
def add_rows(w, titles, rows):
for r in rows:
for t, v in zip(titles, r):
w.insert("end", "%s:\t%s\n" % (t, v))
w.insert("end", "\n")

app = Tkinter.Tk()
t = Tkinter.Text(app)
t.pack()
info = [['Ali',18],
['Zainab',16],
['Khalid',18]]
add_rows(t, ["Name", "Age"], info)
app.mainloop()

If there are many lines, you can use a scrollbar widget to scroll the
text widget. You can use the tabs= argument of the Text widget to
adjust the alignment of the second column. If you want to make the
items "interactive", you can use tags and tag_bind to react to things
like button presses. You can set the text widget to be "disabled" to
keep the user from changing the contents.

I will try out your code. Thank you for helping.

How? I tryed putting diabled in there and disabled=yes and
disabled='yes'. None of them worked :(

Setting state='disabled' does not only prevent the user from editing the text,
but also prevents *you* from modifying the text via the insert or delete
methods. So whenever you want to insert or delete lines in the text, you must
configure its state to 'normal' before, do the modification, then set back its
state to 'disabled'

OK so I tryed:

import Tkinter
def add_rows(w, titles, rows):
t.state = 'normal'
for r in rows:
for t, v in zip(titles, r):
w.insert("end", "%s:\t%s\n" % (t, v))
w.insert("end", "\n")

app = Tkinter.Tk()
t = Tkinter.Text(app)
t.pack()
info = [['Ali',18],
['Zainab',16],
['Khalid',18]]
add_rows(t, ["Name", "Age"], info)
app.mainloop()

it still wont show the text I want it to.

Hello Ali,

import Tkinter
def add_rows(w, titles, rows):
t.state = 'normal' w.state = 'normal' for r in rows:
for t, v in zip(titles, r):
w.insert("end", "%s:\t%s\n" % (t, v))
w.insert("end", "\n")

app = Tkinter.Tk()
t = Tkinter.Text(app)
t.pack()
info = [['Ali',18],
['Zainab',16],
['Khalid',18]]
add_rows(t, ["Name", "Age"], info)
app.mainloop()

HTH.

tk options are not exposed as widget attributes, but via the configure method or
dictionary-style indexing. So this should be:

w.configure(state='normal')

or:

w['state'] = 'normal'

What you did only creates a new attribute named "state" for the widget, which
has no meaning at all at tk level.

well I tryed this:

import Tkinter
def add_rows(w, titles, rows):
t.configure(state = 'normal')
w.configure(state = 'normal')
for r in rows:
for t, v in zip(titles, r):
w.insert("end", "%s:\t%s\n" % (t, v))
w.insert("end", "\n")

app = Tkinter.Tk()
t = Tkinter.Text(app)
t.pack()
info = [['Ali',18],
['Zainab',16],
['Khalid',18]]
add_rows(t, ["Name", "Age"], info)
app.mainloop()

Well... it shows the window, it doesnt show text, it still lets me type in stuff :(
What is wrong now?

REMOVE THAT LINE! Since you use t as a local variable afterwards, this will make
the whole script fail. BTW, this means this isn't the code you actually used,
since it doesn't display any window at all.
w.configure(state = 'normal')
for r in rows:
for t, v in zip(titles, r):
w.insert("end", "%s:\t%s\n" % (t, v))
w.insert("end", "\n")

app = Tkinter.Tk()
t = Tkinter.Text(app)
t.pack()
info = [['Ali',18],
['Zainab',16],
['Khalid',18]]
add_rows(t, ["Name", "Age"], info)
app.mainloop()

You never set the text state to disabled, so no wonder you can still type text in...

add_rows(t, ["Name", "Age"], info)
app.mainloop()

This now shows the text but, will still let me edit the text in side! :(

when the state is set to normal, you can insert text into the widget, and
so can the user. when the state is set to disabled, you cannot insert text,
and neither can the user.

now try setting the state to disabled *after* you've inserted the text.

[Ali]

Thank you all!! it now works just fine! The following is the final code!

import Tkinter
def add_rows(w, titles, rows):
w.configure(state = 'normal')
for r in rows:
for t, v in zip(titles, r):
w.insert("end", "%s:\t%s\n" % (t, v))
w.insert("end", "\n")
w.configure(state='disabled')

app = Tkinter.Tk()
t = Tkinter.Text(app, state='disabled')
t.pack()
info = [['Ali',18],
['Zainab',16],
['Khalid',18]]
add_rows(t, ["Name", "Age"], info)
app.mainloop()

Thank you all again! :):):)
