safetkinter.py (Python)

2012-06-05T03:23:47-07:00

Python recipe 578153 by Stephen Chappell (threadsafe, tkinter).

This module clones several classes from the tkinter library for use with threads. Instances from these new classes should run on whatever thread the root was created on. Child classes inherit the parent's safety.

Markov Encryption Demonstration 2 (Python)

2012-03-14T17:39:17-07:00

Python recipe 578076 by Stephen Chappell (demo, demonstration, encode, encoding, encrypt, encryption).

This program is meant to act as an example of how to use ME with data that needs to be obfuscated. The functionality provided via the GUI demonstrates both the ability to encrypt and decrypt all text that the UTF-8 encoding can handle. Explanations come later.

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.

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.
