Tkinter- Creating the application call with and without Graphical User Inetrface

[psbasha]

Hi,

I would like to call the same aplication executable with and without Graphical User Interface.

Requirement:

With Tkinter User interface,user can give the inputs to run the application ( Interactive).
Instead user will have this inputs in the file and it will be read by the batch utility or exe for the application

For example:

When we run the 'Sample.Exe' at the Python command prompt.It should ask for whether you want to run as Interactive-Yes, Batch (No).

Case-1 :- With User Interface:
------------------------------------------------

If user type 'Yes ',then Grapical User Interface has to display

Case-2 :- Without User Interface:
------------------------------------------------

if the user types 'No' ,then it should ask for the text file to be given as input tp execute the application.

To sumup:

if 'Yes':
# call Graphical User Interface
elif 'No'
# call batch application with < Sample1.in>

Can anybody guide me how to proceed with this options.

Thanks
PSB

Here is something that might work for you.
Also included is the tkFileDialog with the native look and feel.

from Tkinter import Tk, Label
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
from SimpleDialog import SimpleDialog
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    root=Tk()
    l = Label(root, text="Starting Application")
    l.pack()
    UIChooser = SimpleDialog(root, "Default is Batch Mode", ["Batch Mode", "Full GUI"],
                             0, 0, "Choose the user interface")
    choice = UIChooser.go()
    if not choice:
        fileName = askopenfilename()
        print fileName
        fileName = fileName or ""
        root.destroy()
    else:
        l.config(text="Running Full GUI")
        root.mainloop()

Thanks.

But I have to invoke the Batch and Interactive application.Suppose if I am not having the Tkinter installed in my system,then Batch application has to work,if Tkinter is available then I can use either Batch( Without User Interface) or Interactive ( With User Interface)

Is this piece of code works in UNIX environment?
