This is a function using tkinter colorchooser and it works fine when I actually choose a color but when I either Cancel or X off the colorpicker the program will crash when I run the program. (The pick function is part of the "setup" class and then there's a button that saves settings and ...

I just found my code with comments and see now that [1] specified hex ? as I was reading color values. I remember I really struggled with that 5 years ago when I was writing it. Need to go back and reteach myself what I did.

see now it looks for the second string (hex) in that colorchooser result.

and so goes my bad memory. it's not even a list --- thanks and happy xmas.

Probably quicker to ask -- I can't remember what the [1] is for ? --THANKS cin = open('colors.dat','rb') cread = pickle.load(cin) cin.close() g.lb1.configure(bg=cread[0][1]) g.lb2.configure(bg=cread[1][1]) g.lb3.configure(bg=cread[2][1]) g.lb4.configure(bg=cread[3][1])

I keep sitting here playing with this to figure it out (not documented at all in help). What is the deal with enable recording hotkey? I assumed it would be a way to start/stop recording but I'm not getting that. And -- ctrl+ ? alt+? doesn't make sense. (+ is only activated with a shift) Thanks for ...

Haven't tried the software but best of luck to you. I'll make note of trying it in the future. WHY? I *^$@ing HATE Roku and someone needs to do something. WHY? Because Roku is now throwing advertisements INSIDE a video. Yes, they have always played before and after from time to time but I noticed st...

What is Pygtk? Should I look into it or go with gtk3?

mmkw43

Do I still have to install xscreensaver and then disable it to keep the monitor from sleeping? Can't find anything in the new OS that let's me do it. ? ! -- THANKS

tkinter more limited compared to tkinter

too many senior moments lately. -- seriously.

sounds like I wish I would have gone the gtk route. never too late to start.

mmkw43

I don't know how I missed GTK3 (is it now 4?). When I was looking to make a GUI, everything pointed to tkinter. So, thanks for that. I watched some tutorials on youtube (the new boston -- love that guy) and it seems that GTK is very versatile. He was talking some basic widgets and just on a basic la...

Thanks very much, Todays project -- to get it right. A fun project to get a grasp on the math operators.

mmkw43

Huh, Had responded to this but don't see reply. Anyway -- thanks. I wasn't thinking so converted to an integer and works fine now. I had also mentioned that the hour hand doesn't advance correctly in this code. It should advance in increments at the passing of every miute -- pretty crude code I'm gu...

I got this code for an analog clock online and playing with it. I'm puzzled why, when I substitute timestrf for datetime, I get a crash. I don't get it because it works fine with datetime and yet when I print out both datetime and timestrf, I get the same result. The same numbers! #if I use timestrf...

mmkw43

Great thanks. Will look into that for sure. Managed to make things look a bit better with canvas by changing bg color etc.

mmkw43

I did an analog clock for the fun of it in Tkinter and it looks good except for the clock hands which are not smooth (lousy looking really) and searched the forum for any possible solutions to this "antialiasing" ? Anyway -- unless someone can give me some hints on maybe how to make the li...

mmkw43

Gotcha.
Thanks kindly.

mmkw43

Thanks. Yes, I see it in etc/xdg.... the lxsession folder doesn't appear in dot config. The same autostart file used to be in the path I mentioned so let me ask something very basic -- Where SHOULD it be for a python script to autostart? And why? (for my own education). Don't want to edit the file u...

Another problem with an old command that was fine with Jessie but got an error with RPI OS that the folder didn't exist. I had a python script starting on boot up with -- sudo nano /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart and then @/usr/bin/python3.4 /home/pi/myscript.py (3.7 now) I always hate ...

mmkw43

Ok thanks very much for reply. I really appreciate it -- did the job !

mmkw43

In Jessie, I could --
pcmanfm>view>show hidden>.config>openbox>lxde-pi-rc.xml

and change A-F2 (which runs commands) to something else.

I've updated to the latest RPI OS and trying to find a way to do the same thing. -- THANKS

mmkw43

Thanks very much. Works great but why did I have to do it in contrast to the line I used in 3.4 ?
We're having to tell who the sudo user is? -- thanks

mmkw43

I changed my code to 'inet' and 'netmask' and it's working fine as before. But I'll take heed what you guys say about it. If I get that raspi-config thing figured out, I'm good to go. Again, more code that should probably be left for fingers on a keyboard but had it working flawlessly. Fact is as I'...

mmkw43

Ok. I've pretty much given up trying to use this script with 3.7 -- it took all of my gray matter to have it all function (100% -- always), with Jessie and 3.4 I'll play with it some more but not for long because I'm at the point where it's dangerous and may really be screwing some things up. Anothe...

mmkw43

Just created problems for myself putting a script I wrote with 3.4 on top of the new RPI OS (with 3.7). This always worked flawlessly with Jessie and 3.4. It decoded the IP address and showed it in a label. Now I get nothing -- subprocess.call('sudo ifconfig eth0',shell=True) showout = subprocess.ch...

Not good. Better get everything off it. Let me ask -- I'm guessing fewer failure issues with a card when you just read it over the years? Write an image once? Less life (much?) with many, many write/save instructions? Thanks much for the answer -- I have used this card a great deal. Class 10 Sandisk.
