A Phone Book GUI Built in wxPython Connected To Database Using Data Grid View (Python)

2013-09-29T19:25:23-07:00

Python recipe 578676 by toufic zaarour (database, datagridview, graphical, gui, interface).

this GUI as simple as it is explains some basic but important graphical database interfacing; "Add", "Edit","Delete","Search" and few others along with a data grid view. in order to work create an sqlite3 database as follows:

data table : Phone, column 1 : ID, column 2 : name, column 3 : surname, column 4 : telephone.

save the sqlite3 file as file.db in a folder called Data and place it in the same directory as your python script.

if you want to create the sqlite3 database graphically use my previous post : http://code.activestate.com/recipes/578665-a-wxpython-gui-to-create-sqlite3-databases/

Also there is more: I did not use auto-number for 'id' because I also wanted to include in the code a renumbering script.

I am pleased to receive all the suggestions and improvements on this site or to my e-mail directly if this is convenient to you.

note: if you don't like the database table name, and columns name create your own but make sure to change them in the code as well! in the end life is great! remember that!

A wxPython GUI To Create Sqlite3 Databases (Python)

2013-09-18T23:05:51-07:00

Python recipe 578665 by toufic zaarour (gui, python, sqlite, wxpython). Revision 2.

A GUI built around wxPython in a way that will allow you to add to this application other forms and functionalities. The main DialogBox is to create,in a fast way, Sqlite3 databases that are used for web or applications development. In order to work properly, save the script in a separate directory.There is also more; each time you create a database a text file named "CreationLog.txt" will be created (for the first time you use the application or if it is not there) and updated, describing when and where was your database created and with what SQL query. I am pleased to receive all the suggestions and improvements on this site or to my e-mail directly if this is convenient to you.

Just type in a song and the artist and the program will get the YouTube video, convert it to an mp3 then download it! It has a high quality function and a medium quality function and also the user can choose the directory and name they want the file to be saved to!

It is the first time I've used threads and my second time with WxPython! I used BeautifulSoup for the scraping and I'm pretty familiar with that.just thought id share it with you guys and see if you have any feedback or suggestions!

also you may get an error saying self.convhtml doesn't exist just wait then retry

Here is a link to an screenshot:

Directory Pruner 4 (Python)

2012-06-06T22:00:00-07:00

Python recipe 578154 by Stephen Chappell (delete, directory, file, gui, utility). Revision 2.

Module providing GUI capability to prune any directory.

The code presented in this module is for the purposes of: (1) ascertaining the space taken up by a directory, its files, its sub-directories, and its sub-files; (2) allowing for the removal of the sub-files, sub-directories, files, and directory found in the first purpose; (3) giving the user a GUI to accomplish said purposes in a convenient way that is easily accessible.

processing (Python)

2012-01-09T02:23:35-08:00

Python recipe 578004 by Stephen Chappell (experiment, framework, gui).

This module was inspired by http://processing.org/ . The code is meant to mimic an extremely small subset of this high-performance library. After seeing how easy it was to accomplish certain task in the Java framework, a desire was created to have a simple starting point to create little graphical experiments that would be easy to program without haveing to know a lot of details regarding setup, timing, et cetera. This is the result of that desire.

Directory Pruner 2 (Python)

2011-04-05T01:37:14-07:00

Python recipe 577633 by Stephen Chappell (delete, directory, file, gui, utility).

This program builds on work done in recipe 577632, adds new options to the context menu, and experiments with threading the GUI. Directory Pruner 2 appear to work better on Windows 7 while Directory Pruner 1 (the non-threaded version) performs better on Windows XP. Those are the primary platforms on which the two programs have been tested. Please use these applications at your own risk.

If you do not like something about this recipe and want to vote it down, please let everyone what you find fault with, how you would improve it, and an example of the code you would improve.

Directory Pruner 1 (Python)

2011-04-05T00:56:25-07:00

Python recipe 577632 by Stephen Chappell (delete, directory, file, gui, utility).

This program is an extension of recipe 577567 in that it not only allows one to find a directory's size but also remove files based on a context menu. The directory pruner has been used by my roommate to free up room on his hard drive and also by several friends that wished to remove games and other unnecessary program that were taking up their space. Right-click on found directories to review your options.

If you wish to vote this recipe down, please post a comment at the bottom telling me how you would improve the utility.

File Share Messenger 2.5 (Python)

2011-04-06T02:45:15-07:00

Python recipe 577638 by Stephen Chappell (file_io, file_share, gui, messenger, network, workaround).

After writing the limited program shown in recipe 577637, the following program was written with a better yet incompatible I/O system designed not to fill up a file share with many, separate files. This program had five revisions as outlined within the source code. To access settings within this program, use the "F2" key. Documentation may be accessed via the "F1" key (with future plans cut).

If anyone wishes to comment or vote this recipe down, please provide your insight into the fault(s) of the program and provide a suggestion as to what solution you would implement to fix the problems.

edit dictionary values (possibly restrained) with Tkinter (Python)

2011-03-15T21:37:54-07:00

Python recipe 577611 by s_h_a_i_o (edit, gui, in, options).

The behaviour of applications sometimes depends on various parameters that can be chosen by the user through some GUI. Quite often, these parameters need take value in a predefined set. Parameters include for instance:

The number of replications for a simulator.
Dates of beginning/end of sample for time series access/plot.
Log writing

This recipe assumes that

Such parameters are stored in a dictionary. Values in the dictionnary are used as initial values for the parameters.
Values are "singleton", i.e non iterable (although they may be strings).
When a value is a list instance, its content represent the set of possible values The recipe offers a simple way to edit the values in a Tkinter Frame, by adding proper widget to it (constrained value are menubutton while unconstrained values are edit widgets).

This is done by the function apply(frame,dict,position), which adds to the Tkinter frame the necessary widgets to edit the dictionary dict. Widgets are placed using grid (hence the frame needs use grid() too) and span on two columns. topleft position (x,y) in grid is specified using position= (x,y,0,0)

File Share Messenger 1.0 (Python)

2011-04-06T00:03:20-07:00

Python recipe 577637 by Stephen Chappell (file_io, file_share, gui, messenger, network, workaround).

File I/O has many potential uses, and in the case of network file shares, messaging can be conducted by creating files in a directory and scanning for new files to find new messages. In the case where there are restrictions within a network that prevent opening server sockets or creating and using client sockets, the technique in this recipe may be used with file shares instead. The program is simple and was written in about fifty minutes, so there are a great deal of enhancements that could be made to the recipe and its capabilities. Hopefully, this will provide inspiration for other program writers.

If you have any comments or wish to down-vote this recipe, please provide your insight as to what could be improved upon and how you would go about fixing any problems that you might find.

Directory Pruner 3 (Python)

2011-04-05T23:15:58-07:00

Python recipe 577635 by Stephen Chappell (delete, directory, file, gui, utility).

After considering the monolithic design of recipe 577633 and deciding that it should be divided into several smaller modules, Directory Pruner 3 was written to take advantage of better abstraction methodologies. There are a total of twelve files in the project, and all of them except the first are contained within a directory called "Directory Pruner 3" such that they make up a package in Python. Like the other Directory Pruners, please use and configure this program at your own computer's risk.

If you have any comments or wish to vote this recipe down, please provide an explanation as to what you find fault with in this program and also a solution that you would implement to fix the problem.

Color Study 1 (Python)

2011-04-05T23:35:32-07:00

Python recipe 577636 by Stephen Chappell (color, example, experiment, gui, sandbox).

The following program was written to understand how two different color systems related to each other, RGB and HSV. The recipe could be better written and extended further to support other color systems in addition to the two it already uses, but it is a simple example of how one might go about to understand what others speak of when talking about color. The GUI is simple to use and responsive, and the code is a good demonstration of what may need to be written to produce a demonstration such as this one.

If you have suggestions or would like to vote this recipe down, please provide an explanation of the problem along with a solution that you would propose and implement to improve upon what is presented.

Directory Size (GUI) (Python)

2011-02-09T13:47:54-08:00

Python recipe 577567 by Stephen Chappell (application, directory, gui, sizeof, tree). Revision 2.

Have you ever wanted to find out how much room a particular directory was taking up on your hard drive? A roommate of mine in college was having trouble keeping track of where his hard drive space is going, so the following program provided a solution that allows a brief overview of a directory's size along with all of its children. A tree view is created using tkinter and is populated with the directory's name, cumulative size, immediate total file size, and full path. The search button is disabled during a search, and the directory listing with its children is automatically updated.
