Simple Tkinter problem

[gmarkowsky@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a GUI that will put up multiple widgets in
succession. My problem is that each widget also contains the previous
widgets when they pop up. How do I reinitialize the widget each time so
that it doesn't contain earlier ones? Actually, another question I have
is, is there a way to set python so that it will assume any undefined
variable is 0 or ''? That is, I have several statements like "If k 0
then so and so" and I would like it to assume k=0 unless I tell it
otherwise. I've just been defining k=0 at the start of the program but
it seems there should be a better way.

Show your code.

Actually, another question I have is, is there a way to set
python so that it will assume any undefined variable is 0 or
''? That is, I have several statements like "If k 0 then so

otherwise. I've just been defining k=0 at the start of the
program but it seems there should be a better way.

The best way to do it is to never use undefined names.

Re: Simple Tkinter problem

Here's my Tkinter class:

class TwoChoice:
def __init__(self, master):

frame = Frame(master)
frame.pack()
m = Label(root, text= maentry)
m.pack()
n = Label(root, text= fave)
n.pack()

self.button = Button(frame, text=home_team, command=
self.comm_1)
self.button.pac k(side=LEFT)

self.hi_there = Button(frame, text=vis_team,
command=self.co mm_2)
self.hi_there.p ack(side=LEFT)

def comm_1(self):
print home_team
root.quit()

def comm_2(self):
print vis_team
root.quit()

I call it by

root = Tk()
gui= TwoChoice(root)
root.mainloop()

The next time I call it I want to just run the same thing but with
different values for the variables. Instead it gives me like two copies
of the widget.

Greg,

Run the following code to see how pack_forget() or
grid_forget() works, it makes previous widgets
disappear but not go away. If you call grid() or
pack() again after using grid_forget() the widget
returns.


root = Tk()
class Ktest:
def __init__(self):
self.Ftest1()

def Ftest1(self):

try:
self.test2.grid _forget()
except AttributeError :
pass
self.test1 = Button(root, text='Push #1
button', bg = 'yellow', width = 25,
command = self.Ftest2,
height = 25)
self.test1.grid (row=0, column=0)


def Ftest2(self):
self.test1.grid _forget()
self.test2 = Button(root, text='Push #2
button', bg = 'green',
width = 15,
command = self.Ftest1,
height = 10)
self.test2.grid (row=0, column=0)

if __name__== '__main__' :
Ktest()
mainloop()



Maybe someone else has an idea about not defining
a variable.

My question is how does a budket of wires and
screws know its a bucket of wires and screws
unless someone tells it that it's a bucket of
wires and screws?
