Tag entry for Tkinter like Jquery Tag It (Python)

2017-04-07T12:30:13-07:00

Python recipe 580734 by Miguel Martínez López (entry, megawidget, tag, text, tkinter). Revision 2.

Text widget width and height in pixels (Tkinter) (Python)

2016-12-11T13:39:08-08:00

Python recipe 578887 by Miguel Martínez López (text, tkinter). Revision 8.

The solution consists in putting the Text widget inside a frame, forcing the frame to a fixed size by deactivating size propagation and configuring the Text widget to expand and fill both directions (to stick to the frame borders).

Automatic resized Text widget (Tkinter) (Python)

2016-12-10T15:40:25-08:00

Python recipe 578886 by Miguel Martínez López (autoresize, text, tkinter). Revision 14.

The Text widget resize to its contents. Based on this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11544187/tkinter-resize-text-to-contents

But here there is one important improvement: The widget resize first, before a character inclusion.

For this trick I have had to use tag bindings.

Here there is a practical application of this widget:

Call out to an external editor (Python)

2014-09-01T18:26:51-07:00

Python recipe 578926 by Steven D'Aprano (editing, editor, external, text). Revision 2.

Here's a function that lets you use Python to wrap calls to an external editor. The editor can be an command line editor, like venerable old "ed", or something more powerful like nano, vim or emacs, and even GUI editors. After the editor quits, the text you typed in the editor is returned by the function.

A simple example, using the (rather cryptic) 'ed' editor on Linux. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with 'ed', I have annotated the editor session with comments.

>>> status, text = edit('ed')
0                        ## ed prints the initial number of lines
a                        ## start "append" mode
Hello World!
Goodbye now
.                        ## stop appending
w                        ## write the file to disk
25                       ## ed prints the number of bytes written
q                        ## quit ed and return to Python
>>> status
0
>>> print text
Hello World!
Goodbye now

Simple Bash Text Mode Sine Curve Generator. (Bash)

2014-08-12T20:57:39-07:00

Bash recipe 578921 by Barry Walker (apple, bash, cygwin, graph, linux, macbook_pro, text). Revision 2.

This bash script is a taster for a kids level, audio, text mode, sweep generator. The code just creates a single cycle of a quantised sine curve inside an 80 x 24 bash terminal. This will be the calculator for a sinewave sweep generator from about 50Hz the 12KHz... The code tells you more and the display is in comments at the end...

Levenshtein, my love (Python)

2014-01-15T09:14:30-08:00

Python recipe 578810 by yota (text). Revision 3.

be kind and comment, especially if you downvote

levenshtein_distance() is an implementation of the iterative algorithm for the levenshtein distance (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance#Iterative_with_full_matrix)

levenshtein_sequence() is an attempt to retrieve one of the levenshtein paths (the one that give priority to substitution, deletion, insertion, in this order). The result is a list of tuples made of:

the operation ( =, -, +, * for respectively keep, delete, insert, substitute)
the coordinate in the first
and in the second string.

>>> levenshtein_sequence('saturday', 'sunday')  
[('=', 0, 0), ('-', 1, 0), ('-', 2, 0), ('=', 3, 1), ('*', 4, 2), ('=', 5, 3), ('=', 6, 4), ('=', 7, 5)]
>>> levenshtein_sequence('kitten', 'sitting')
[('*', 0, 0), ('=', 1, 1), ('=', 2, 2), ('=', 3, 3), ('*', 4, 4), ('=', 5, 5), ('+', 5, 6)]

This code is part of foreplays, in a plan I have to improve difflib with alternative SequenceMatchers \o/

Pseudo-3D effect in text mode... (Bash)

2013-09-10T21:23:58-07:00

Bash recipe 578655 by Barry Walker (3d, apple, bash, color, colour, display, linux, macbook_pro, text).

This is just a simple DEMO to display a pseudo-3D effect using a bash script. It generates a recessed box and a button and writes some thext inside bot.

There are two pieces of code, one for Linux, and one for OSX 10.7.5...

The Linux version also works on OSX 10.7.5 but is harder to see so a near identical version using the default OSX terminal colours was craeted instead.

You will have to split the two code pieces up yourself to run...

Easy to use, easy to read, python based HTML generation (Python)

2013-06-21T14:47:21-07:00

Python recipe 578436 by Pavlos (html, template, text). Revision 4.

I was looking for a simple way to generate HTML directly in python that does not require learning a new template 'language' nor requires the installation of a big complex package. Closest thing I found was James Casbon's attempt(https://gist.github.com/1461441). This is my version of the same idea.

(2013-04-21) added some simplifications and support for switching off string interpolation. Added to github:

For Characters in a String, Replace with Character (Python)

2012-03-23T20:44:23-07:00

Python recipe 578086 by Andrew Yurisich (character, replace, substitute, text). Revision 9.

Useful if you need to replace many different characters with all of the same character. Can accept an unlimited number of request to replace.

Does not work with words, only characters. You can, however, replace single characters with words. I may go back and re-implement it using tuples for the keys, but this would make searching the text for any matches pretty expensive, I'd imagine. At that point, it's mostly a job for a regex, and those tools already exist.

Funny text generator (Python)

2011-12-25T11:14:39-08:00

Python recipe 577988 by Pierre Quentel (generation, random, text). Revision 4.

This class takes a text (preferably long enough) and generates another text that "looks like" the original. It won't mean anything, or just by chance ;-)

For example, taking Hamlet, Act I, the program generates things like :

Hamlet

And vanish'd from our watch;
His further. Fare third nights of the flushing immortal as it draw you into the flushing thy complete steel
'Tis sweet and each new-hatch'd:
A country's father;
To business and is prodigal thee!
Have of crowing more the should I have heaven,
Forward, therefore as ourself in the business it, Horatio
To what is't that your watch, bid this here!

Usage :

generator = TextGenerator(txt)
result = generator.random_text(3000)

Arduino Diecimila Board Access Inside A Linux Bash Shell. (Text)

2011-03-30T18:08:11-07:00

Text recipe 577627 by Barry Walker (access, arduino, bash, linux, shell, text).

The "code" in this recipe is a step by step "root" shell command line procedure for testing whether a(n) USB Arduino Dev Board is working or not. To get more recognisable characters displayed it is best to use a potentiometer wired as one end to +5V, the other end to Gnd and thw wiper to ANALOG IN 0. This has been tested on various Linux Distros and kept as simple as possible so that anyone can understand it.

The required ?.pde file for the Arduino Board can be found here:-

Komodo JavaScript Macro - wrap the current word under the cursor (JavaScript)

2011-02-02T23:28:37-08:00

JavaScript recipe 577561 by Todd Whiteman (komodo, macro, text, toddw, wrap).

A Komodo JavaScript macro that can be used to wrap the current word under the cursor position (or current selection) with arbitrary text.

For example, if I'm editing a HTML file and have the selected text "This is my heading", I can quickly use this macro to wrap this text into "<h1>This is my heading</h1>".

Convert a transcript with Ansi escape sequences to HTML (Python)

Render tables for text interface (Python)

2010-04-20T18:02:51-07:00

Python recipe 577202 by Denis Barmenkov (format, table, text). Revision 2.

Sometime pprint module is not enough for formatting data for console or log file output. This module provide function which fill the gap.

Sample function call:

nums = [ '1', '2', '3', '4' ]
speeds = [ '100', '10000', '1500', '12' ]
desc = [ '', 'label 1', 'none', 'very long description' ]
lines = format_table( [(nums, ALIGN_RIGHT|PADDING_ALL, 'NUM'), 
                       (speeds, ALIGN_RIGHT|PADDING_ALL, 'SPEED'), 
                       (desc, ALIGN_LEFT|PADDING_ALL, 'DESC')] )

Output:

=======================================
| NUM | SPEED | DESC                  |
=======================================
|   1 |   100 |                       |
|   2 | 10000 | label 1               |
|   3 |  1500 | none                  |
|   4 |    12 | very long description |
