Listbox fill=BOTH expand=YES (Tkinter)

[Harlin Seritt]

I am trying the following:

Listbox(parent).pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES)

I notice that the listbox will fill on the X axis but will not on the Y
axis unlike other widgets. Is there any way to force this?

thanks,

Harlin

Harlin,

It should expand (and fill ) in both directions have you checked it's
parents packing options?

That was it Martin. I forgot to expand the parent.

Thanks!

is YES a valid flag for expand?
maybe expand=1

either YES, True, or 1 should work.

yes, indeed.

import Tkconstants
'True' and 'YES' in dir(Tkconstants)

True

thanks Harlin,

True

thanks Harlin,

I hope you also know that

..>> 'inexistent keyword' and 'YES' in dir(Tkconstants)

is also True...

True

thanks Harlin,

yeah, known but forgotten.

hmmm .......
let's try :

import Tkconstants
'YES' in dir(Tkconstants) True 'True' in dir(Tkconstants) False 'TRUE' in dir(Tkconstants) True ('inexistent keyword') in dir(Tkconstants) False

so 'TRUE' and 'YES' in dir(Tkconstants) True 'inexistent keyword' and 'YES' in dir(Tkconstants) True

i'll recite 42 times truth tables before going to bed.
however i didn't expect the following:
'inexistent keyword' or 'YES' in dir(Tkconstants) 'inexistent keyword' False or 'YES' in dir(Tkconstants) True

hmmm...
('inexistent keyword' or 'YES') in dir(Tkconstants) False (False or 'YES') in dir(Tkconstants) True

i'll recite 42 times precedence rules before going to bed.
but now i'm a bit confused by the -in- operator. as:
set(['TRUE','YES']).issubset(set(dir(Tkconstants))) True

i expected this to be true, but it's not:
set(['TRUE','YES']) in set(dir(Tkconstants)) False

originaly, i'm thinking to short-cut the following, reduce(lambda t,f: t and f, [i in dir(Tkconstants) for i in 'YES','inexistent keyword'])
False reduce(lambda t,f: t and f, [i in dir(Tkconstants) for i in

'TRUE','YES'])
True

but that was too short and i miss something!
i do reset my brain somewhere between cell234 and cell241
thanks for reading!

False

the 'in' operator searches for existance of *elements* in a set, not of
*subsets*. BTW, only a frozenset can be included in a set.

To check for subsets, either use the issubset function, or the '<' operator (I
believe they both call the same code):

..>> set(['TRUE','YES']).issubset(set(dir(Tkconstants)))
True

can be expressed as

..>> set(['TRUE','YES']) < set(dir(Tkconstants))
True

ah! yes. that's clear now. thanks!
after all:

for element in aset: print element,

why did i think that 'in' was another different operator?
the test should be then:
'TRUE' in dir(Tkconstants) and 'YES' in dir(Tkconstants) True

and then:
'inexistent keyword' in dir(Tkconstants) and 'YES' in dir(Tkconstants)
False

a bit cumbersome if there is a lot of keys to test.
i also found in the itertools-recipes the way to avoid
the reduce-lambda construction i had previously in head:
from itertools import *
def all(seq, pred=bool): "Returns True if pred(x) is True for every element in the
iterable"
for elem in ifilterfalse(pred, seq):
return False
return True
all(i in dir(Tkconstants) for i in ['TRUE', 'YES']) True all(i in dir(Tkconstants) for i in ['TRUE', 'YES', 'inexistent

key'])
False

lovely...
i do not regret the fate of reduce et al.

To check for subsets, either use the issubset function, or the '<' operator (I believe they both call the same code):

.>> set(['TRUE','YES']).issubset(set(dir(Tkconstants)))
True

can be expressed as

.>> set(['TRUE','YES']) < set(dir(Tkconstants))
True

i noted! thanks again.
