One possible answer is to do something like Idle does. As a user hits each key, its custom incremental parser tags identifiers that are a keyword, builtin, or def/class name*. It also tags delimited char sequences that are a string or comment. I does what can be done quickly enough. For example, if one types printer ...

Set kivy.core.window.Window.size to (800, 600). You can't set it directly in kv, but you could bind it to a button or similar. You would also need to import the Window to kv, using the #:import statement explained in the doc.

There is no position nor size in a Canvas. Canvas act just as a container for graphics instructions, like Fbo that draw within a Texture, so it have a size.

When I understand you correctly, you are mixing Callbacks with Events.Perhaps this makes the problem so problematic. In Python functions are objects, and can be passed as any other object like strings. So there is no need to pass names and evaluate them.

Tkinter is not installed with QPython, unlike SL4A and Kivy. You'll have to install it yourself. There is a pip console among the scripts, so I'd try using that first.

All the downloaded libraries are in the C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages. You can check this folder before you uninstall a version of Python. I agree with Rinzler, for Python, both versions will have its own Tkinter. Maybe it's just a problem of interpreter choice of your IDE.

This is where Twilio gets tricky. Technically the call is picked up instantly, so there is no timeout to let it ring. What you can do, is initialize the phone call with a timeout, and using the Play verb, use an MP3 recording of the standard ring before letting the program do it's thing.

You cannot change the coordinate system of the canvas. You can scroll the canvas so that 0,0 is in the bottom left, but the y coordinates will be negative going up.

Each of your sprites should have velocity attributes. If your velocity is negative, turn one way. If your velocity is positive, turn the other. Because velocity indicates the direction of movement, this can be used to determine angular direction.

When dealing with C extensions with Python, what is the best way to move data from a C++ array or vector into a PyObject/PyList so it can be returned to Python?

You have to construct a PyObject from each element prior to adding it to a sequence. So you have to either add them one by one, or convert them all, then pass to a constructor from PyObject[]. I guess the 2nd way is slightly faster since it doesn't have to adjust the sequence's member variables after each addition.

No, it is likely not possible, depending on what you mean by "everything" and what you mean by "scaled". Any widget can be made to stretch to fill its allotted space.

PyEval_SetTrace() is exactly the API that you need to use. Not sure why you need some additional way to "pause" the execution; when your callback has been called, the execution is already paused and will not resume until you return from the callback.

As we all know, when developing an Android app in native Java, we use activities. I was wondering that, in developing Android apps in Python(with Kivy), does Kivy implements activities for the apps in itself or not? because I don't see any activity implementation on the sample codes. If it doesn't implement activities,...

Kivy is a great tool for developing Android Apps. The best advantage of using Kivy is that it is cross platform and the same project can be used to publish apps on mutti-platforms. However , it has some performance related disadvantages(as do most cross-platform tools like unity , cocos etc). If you're developing only ...

I recently used homebrew to install pyqt (along with qt & sip), but get an import error whenever I try to import PyQt4 in Python 3 (which was also installed using homebrew). To confuse matters more, I am able to import PyQt4 on Python 2 via the terminal. I'm totally new to working with Python packages and, with that, t...

I'm using wxpython. I'd like to solve a simple problem for a GUI that consists of a button "Add", which when pressed creates a new button called "Remove". You can press "Add" as many times as you like and many remove buttons are created and added to the panel. What I would like is for when you press one of the remove b...

If your trouble is to pass an argument to the function, consider following: self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, lambda e: otherFunction(arg1, arg2), button_name)

I am coding a Tkinter GUI for a senior research project at school. I need to, at some point in the code, reset the counter used to create id values for new additions. Does anyone know if this is possible beside replacing the entire canvas? Basically, after adding a bunch of lines and ovals, I need to delete them all ...

It is not possible to reset the id numbers generated by a canvas. Your solution of deleting and recreating the canvas is a reasonable alternative, though it may not be necessary. There are probably better ways to do whatever it is you think is solved by resetting canvas ids. For example, you could generate your own id...

I have written a Python module designed to solve the Tetris cube tiling puzzle, and it contains a lot of code, but it doesn't want to run, when I press f5 to run the program, the shell restarts, but then stops working, even when I enable debugging nothing happens still. I put a print statement at the very start of the ...

The problem seems to have been an issue with the version of python I had installed. A new installation is able to run long modules fine, without any noticeable delay even from pressing f5 to first print statement.

Is there any form to set a 100% of horizontal size for TextCtrl in Toolbar? Because I have been looking for about this in the documentation and I did not found anything.

You probably can't do that in a normal toolbar. However, you can easily just roll your own toolbar by using a horizontally oriented BoxSizer and adding the necessary widgets to it. Then you can add the text control with the correct proportion and the wx.EXPAND flag.

I'am trying to build an e-commerce website using turbogears. Initially I modified the tgapp-photos to make the items come on the page properly. But then I find it difficult to make cart from the scratch and hence thought to use stroller. However, when I'am plugging it in the config.py file, all of a sudden my app stops...

Stroller is a pretty old project that is not maintained anymore. The reason why it was not working for you is that it was still pending some changes required to make it compatible with TG2.3+, it was compatible only with <=2.2. And so was looking for some Pylons imports. To solve your problem I just released stroller 0...

I've been working really hard trying to find a solution to this for the past few weeks. I have committed to a direction now, but I am still not entirely satisfied with what I have come up with. Asking this now purely out of curiosity and for hope of a more proper solution for next time. How on earth do I keep multiple ...

One way to do it is to use viewmodels. Have one QAbstractItemModel adapter to your underlying data model. All interaction must pass through that model. When you need to further adapt the data to a view, simply use a proxy view model class that refers to the adapter above and reformats/adapts the data for a view. All th...

I really need someone to explain why this is not working. I was reading on some of the other questions that you have to change the...

There is only really only one way to do this: Create a folder Put the Python Interpreter you are using in that folder Put the PyGame module you are using in that same folder And your problem is now solved. I hope this helps you!

I have written a monitoring program for the control system at our plant. It is basically a GUI which lets the operator see the current status of the lock of the closed loop system and aware the operator in case the lock/loop breaks. Now, the operation is heavily dependent on the responses of the GUI. My seniors told me...

I would say that if your program is simply accessing data and not interacting with the data, then a GUI seems to be a bit of overkill. GUI's are guided user interfaces, as you know, and are made for guiding a user through an interface. If the interface is just a status, as you indicated, then I see nothing wrong with a...
