I am building a file browser using Gtk.IconView in python. I am trying to find the path of an icon selected using " selection-changed" signal using gtk.IconView.get_path_at_pos(x,y). The docs are mum on how to obtain the (x,y). How do I find them? using python 2.7 and pygtk 2.24

You don't use get_path_at_pos. It is meant for cases where you handle the button presses directly (which you should avoid unless you really have good reasons to do so). Simply use gtk_icon_view_get_selected_items (C) or the pygtk equivalent iconview.get_selected_items() which gives you a list (in C a GList) of currentl...

No. The ListCtrl does not support that functionality. There is a pure Python list control widget called the UltimateListCtrl that allows you add any widget to a cell, although it doesn't appear to allow cell spanning either. I would still try this widget and see if it works for you. If it does not, you may be able to p...

Qt is an application framework that implements the GUI event loop. GLUT is an application, that implements the GUI event loop. There can be only one GUI event loop in a process.

You will use multithreading to perform parallel or background tasks that you don't want the main thread to wait, you don't want it to hang the GUI while it runs, or interfer with the user interactivity, or some other priority tasks. Most applications today don't use multithreading or use very little of it. Even if they...

Actually, GUIs are typically single threaded implementations where a single thread (called UI thread) keeps polling for events and keeps executing them in the order they occur.

If your main goal is to solidify your python knowledge, I would recommend Tkinter. It's simpler and it's already installed with Python. If you want to build complex applications, I recommend PyQt, which is way more powerful.

You can have two separate windows running two separate kivy apps controlling/communicating with each other via osc/twisted/... However one "App" instance is only limited to one App window for that process. It can launch another process(subprocess.popen) which has a new window though.

You don't need to download the file using FTP (or the like) to load it into Qt.

You can call QApplication::setStyle("windows") before creating QApplication object to set a style by name.

I have a scene, and I need to be able to overlay the scene with translucent polygons (which can be done easily using pygame.gfxdraw.filled_polygon which supports drawing with alpha), but the catch is that the amount of translucency has to fade over a distance (so for example, if the alpha value is 255 at one end of the...

It is possible that you have already thought of this and have decided against it, but it would obviously run far better in real time if the polygons were pre-drawn. Presuming there aren't very many different types of polygons, you could even resize them however you need and you would be saving CPU. Also, assuming that ...

I think you could use a wx.Panel without any issues. There is a CustomDragAndDrop example in the wxPython demo that shows how to drag and drop images from one wx.Window to another. A wx.Panel is a type of wx.Window and I would think it would be better to use anyway. I would give that a try.

I think that you can afford generating a new TextEdit content from the relevant data, every time something changes. That should be very easy to implement. QCursors and stuff like that is good for editable QTextEdits which is not true in your case. And there is no guarantee that it will be faster at all.

It really depends on what it is you are trying to test.

If you can build your program as a shared library, then you can use the ctypes foreign-function interface to call your functions.

Since python is running as another process. This is no way for python to access object in c# directly since process isolation. A way of marshal and un-marshal should be included to communicate between processes. There are many way to communicate between processes. Share memory, file, TCP and so on.

This is not supported by the grid widget. You could size a column or row such that it is skinnier than usual and change all the cells in that row or column to have a different background color. You might also be able to utilize a custom label renderer or cell renderer. See the wxPython demo for examples.

I don't know why exactly does this happen but this looks like a bug in wxWidgets. In practice, this means that it you shouldn't rely on this behaviour because it might (and in fact I'm pretty sure it does) behave differently under other platforms and also could change in future wxWidgets versions.

I'm drawing a map of a real world floor with dimensions roughly 100,000mm x 200,000mm. My initial code contained a function that converted any millimeter based position to screen positioning using the window size of my pygame map, but after digging through some of the pygame functions, I realized that the pygame transf...

If your map is not dynamic, I would suggest draw a map outside the game and load it in game. If you plan on converting the game environment into a map, It might be difficult for a large environment. 100,000mm x 200,000mm is a very large area when converting into a pixels. I would suggest you to scale it down before loa...

I am trying to visualize a Control Flow Graph in Python using pyqtgraph. I have the following two problems. How can I visualize the edges with a direction? How can I visualize a self edge? I tried looking into the documentation, but couldn't find. Obviously, I didn't get time to read it all!

While pyqtgraph is awesome, for my use case I found a much better tool to do this. graphviz is a nice tool to develop Control Flow Graphs quite conveniently, and has a large number of features for this particular problem.

For direction, you might add a pg.ArrowItem at the end of each line (although this could have poor performance for large networks), and for self connections, QtGui.QGraphicsEllipseItem combined with an arrow.

No i don't ask about spritesheets. I'm working on a game in pygame and I want to know if it's possible to divide sprite into parts like body parts and then use it in collision-detection with pygame.sprite.groupcollide?

The default Sprite class has no notion of separate parts of a sprite; the whole thing is assigned a single bounding box. If you plan on using pygame.sprite.groupcollide it seems like you don't want an individual sprite anyway, you want them packaged together in their own group. Keep in mind that the pygame.sprite.Group...

My question is about QDial. It can make the full tour around. When the value is 0 it jumps to 100 and if the value is 100 and you turn it a little more it passes to 0 suddenly. How can I disable this?

Actually @Trilarion , setWrapping to false does not fix his problem. The Dial still jumps from end to beginning and vice-versa. This is not cool in some applications. The only solution, I believe, is to hardly not allowing the Dial to do this in a slot. For example, in value changed. Considering you stored the previous...

I have terrible doubts regarding python config file approach. I am creating a program with a GUI (PyQt). The program loads some settings from a .cfg file using the configparser module.

Updating the state of your application may not be a trivial thing if you are somewhere in the middle. Just an example: Your app = A car You launch your app = You start your car You set in the preferences the variable type_tyre to Winter Your running app still has type_tyre equals Sommer You attempt to change tyres whi...

I have an application made up of Frames, Frames in Frames and Labels in Frames. There is quite a lot of them and I am looking for a way to modify some of the default values. I am particularly interested in modifying .columnconfigure() since I call .columnconfigure(0, weight=1) on each of the columns, in each frame. Thi...

No, there is no way to change the defaults. You can easily write your own grid function to automatically configure the weight of each column. You could do this by subclassing Frame, for instance.

On mobile, your app should automatically fill the phone screen. You don't need to worry about it. On desktop, you can use the --size=WxH option to test a specific screen size, or use the screen module (-m screen:nexus7 for example - run kivy with -m screen to see the available options). No. All mouse/touchscreen intera...

Good afternoon, I'm using a QTableview+QAbstractTableModel to display a potentially large amount of data (20k+ rows) were each row consists of cells holding text of various length, including newlines, displayed using a custom delegate.

If you set verticalHeader.sizeHint to ResizeToContents, on any row update ALL table will be processed to obtain new column width. This behaviour is life saver for most of us, if we don't have a large table that frequently update. First, don't use resizeToContents size hint! Basic solution: use fixed size for columns w...

Are you by any chance running the Python 3 version of Kivy? Suds looks like it is abandondonware (last release in 2010) and likely does not have a Python3 port. You may have luck with the Python2.7 version of Kivy and pip installing suds, but keep in mind you will be relying on an apparently unsupported module (suds) f...

How can I get raw base64 PNG data from a PyQt4.QtGui.QImage object? The only method I can find that seems like it would help is bits(), but that just returns a sip.voidptr object and I have no idea where to go from there.

You have the right method if you want to directly access the data in memory. It is a C array, and has no python object associated, so it's a little tricky. You need: the start address from bits(), the depth() and the byteCount(). ctypes.string_at would give you access to the data there, which you would pass to a numpy ...
