I have created a complex program(i can share if anyone wants for reference), which simply takes input and gives output in the console.The start of the program is:-

a = int(input("Range - "))

.......(The whole program is long..so not putting it here for now).....

And i want to create an application using 'tkinter'..with an entry widget as the input (which is stored in variable 'a', after clicking a button).

My program doesn't have any functions and I would like to just use that value of a which I get as input to be used as it is used in my actual program. .

In short after i get input, my program should carry out the operations and then output the answer to the user in the app.

Please help for getting input and showing output..

 

 

Search net for "tkinter example", "tkinter tutorial" or similar keywords.

For instance

https://likegeeks.com/python-gui-examples-tkinter-tutorial/

What you need is Entry widget

https://likegeeks.com/python-gui-examples-tkinter-tutorial/#Get-input-using-Entry-class-Tkinter-textbox

After clicking button, there is called procedure:

https://likegeeks.com/python-gui-examples-tkinter-tutorial/#Handle-button-click-event

Inside of it, you need to read Entry widget user data, parse it the way you want (like in command-line script), and show output.

How to show output? Try Label widget or yet another Entry widget (it could be with disabled editing of content).

 

Well i looked into it ...(thanks)...my program actually takes a range from user and then takes a number of data that is given by user in the form of range earlier. For this I have created a for loop which takes data as per range.

My program then makes a list of that data ....so I created a loop of entry widgets as per range...so now how do I compile that data in a list so that my program can run further?..or is there any other way in which I can take data from the user and compile it into a list.

I have attached the whole programs for ref

1) main (graphic)- is the GUI I was trying to work out.

2)main-is the actual working program

It's fot custom use so u might not get point of it ....Cheers

main(graphic).py

main.py

You have two options:

- forget about main.py... just copy its functionality to main(graphics).py.. and instead of taking arguments from shell replace it by GUI equivalent code.

- call main.py from main(graphics).py. To learn how to do it search net for "call python script with arguments from python" e.g.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3781851/run-a-python-script-from-another-python-script-passing-in-args

Then you will have to analyze output.

 

As an alternative, may I suggest running a webserver, running your Python program as a CGI script, and using simple HTML forms for data input. Different approach to give a Python program a GUI.

I am sorry but i already made changes in the script so that I can use it in tkinter..

However I am caught up in another problem :-

a=[12, 13, 14]

b=[(12, 13), (13, 14)]

I want to say remove the values stored in b[0] to be removed from 'a'. With this I am gonna complete my program so...this is the final step..

cheers

how can I do it?

(I tried directly removing by a.remove(), but it didn't ..probably because it identifies (12, 13) as 1 element, but still ...help me out)

So how would you extract 12 and 13 from (12,13)? You can work this out by experimenting with the syntax.

Brute-force method would be manual go through the all elements in array, compare, and if criterion is met, remove element at specified index..

Thanks that worked

And my program is now complete.

Thanks guys/girls !!
