at 12:46 when you create a config file, it might save as a config.ini.txt file. if it does, open the file, go to save as, "config.ini". this will convert the text document to an ini file! Took me a while to figure this out.
I want to say this is probably one of the best GUI tutorials I've experienced. I have struggled for years trying to build customer GUI in python and I just wanted to say thank you for making this easy to understand and purposeful. SUBSCRIBED!
Ah, you're making me blush! Thanks for the kind comment and happy to hear that you found this video helpful. Good luck with your GUI project, and happy coding! 👍
I love that they have a theme called *_SystemDefault,_* and then another one called *_SystemDefault1,..._* and then one called *_SystemDefaultForReal._* :)
Thank you for another amazing video! I am quite new to Python and your channel (only watched a few videos so far), and your videos make it all look really exciting! I'm a big sucker for practical applications when it comes to coding :) One thing that I can think of in terms of foolproofing: If the config file gets somehow deleted, I assume the app will crash on startup (maybe? I am new as I said), so maybe it is possible to check in the code if the config file exists, and if it doesn't proceed to create one with some default values before running anything else. I wonder how tough this will be to implement, I might actually try to do this myself in a fork in the future. PS: Love your accent!
*I am glad to hear you are enjoying them; thanks for watching and for the comment!* You have a very valid point there. The application will crash if the settings file does not exist. You could hard code any default settings in the python file to prevent this. Before loading the settings, you could check whether the settings file exists. If it does not exist, you could create a new file and dump the default settings there. Here is a complete example for you: github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/blob/master/DemoPrograms/Demo_Settings_Save_Load.py Take a look at line 27. I hope it helps, and also, thank you very much for the coffee donation. I appreciate it! 🙏
Hey, thanks for watching! If you wanna check out how to merge Excel data using pandas and xlwings, I've got a separate video for you right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AHS925L8JVk.html After you've got your script working, you can totally build a GUI around your app with PySimpleGUI. Happy coding!
pysimplegui will now be moving to a subscription model if you can believe that. Do you think that the older version 4, if installable, could still be used without problem or interference?
Oh wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing it out. I've just checked the GitHub and PySimpleGUI page. I guess that after its sunset in Q2 2024, it will continue to work but won't be further developed. This could mean it may not be compatible with newer Python versions, and there will be no bug fixes, etc. However, if you're using your GUI in a non-commercial setting (as a hobbyist), PySimpleGUI 5 will be available free of charge and is fully backward compatible. Therefore, upgrading to the latest version might be a good move.
@@CodingIsFun I'm ok with using the version of everything that I currently have, but even though I'm not a good coder, I'm developing a useful app I'm rather proud of, and so I had to ask chatgpt about installing specific versions of packages and virtual environments because I don't want to upgrade.
A quick google search will show you many different Python libraries. I just like the simplicity of PySimpleGUI. In regards to plotting libraries, I prefer 'Plotly'. I am not really an expert on predicting crypto prices, sorry!
Thanks for watching the watching and your question. It is hard to tell from a distance what is causing the error. Try searching for the text of your error message on google/StackOverflow.
The creator of the PySImpleGUI library, Mike, created an excellent documentation and even provided example applications which you can run the browser: pysimplegui.trinket.io/demo-programs#/demo-programs/menus Happy Coding!
Thank you for this amazing video! please help me, after running the code, I received this error message "Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Ojajumi Marvellous\PycharmProjects\SETTINGS\main.py", line 105, in font_size = int(settings["GUI"]["font_size"]) TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType', please I am new in the system.
Thanks for watching. Please try to clone the entire repo from GitHub and run your code again (I assume your missing the settings file). Also, let me know if you have modified the code. Thanks!
I can help with this problem. You may be saving config.ini as a text file when saving it in Notepad and so it won't load correctly. Go into your folder and check if the type says "Text" or "Configuration settings." If it is text, then open a new instance of notepad and copy/paste the settings over. When using "save as," make sure the field "save as type:" is "All Files." Check the type again. Now it should be a configuration settings file and the program should work.
hi I'm currently working on automated test data generator based on user inputs to the fields. And these inputs are provided to the user using sg.combo(list of options to select from). What I'm wondering is ,is there any way that we can provide a popup to the user when he selects an option from list of drop-down options to get more inputs from the user. For example I have options like date,name,phone number etc in the drop-down which is created using sg.Combo. Now when the user selects date from the list can we provide a popup(immediately after selecting date option)so that the user can provide different dates (starting and ending date). Similarly if he selects phone number can we provide a popup so that we can ask him what kind of phone number he is looking like any particular format (xxx-xxx-xxxx or number with country code) and so on. I have searching for this for past three days. Any suggestions from you might help me finish the major part of my problem. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for watching the video. Your questions are great, but finding the time to answer them is difficult. Kindly understand that I receive many requests for individual solutions or modifications. That said, you might want to join our Discord server (pythonandvba.com/discord) and post your question there. Thanks for your understanding. Happy Coding!
Hello, your videos about PySimpleGUI are awesome! I would like to ask you if you know, is it possible to insert invoice template made in excel in pysimplegui app and for example when you press a button named " Preview of your invoice " to show popup window with the template that have been made in excel? Or something like that? Thanks in advance!
Thanks so much for watching the video and leaving a comment! Your request is definitely noted. However, I get a ton of requests for custom solutions and, as much as I'd love to help everyone out, I just don't have the time in my schedule to develop and test all of them. I hope you can understand. Happy Coding!
Thank you for these new possibilities for me. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. I have two dictionaries where the field names are different. I would like the user to be able to match one field to another so that dict1[key] = dict2[newkey]. In the original the headers of the csv file needs to manually changed to match the other file. It just needs to be some event, lists or popup where I can match the field names.
Thank you for watching the video and for your question. Unfortunately, I do not know how to implement that right off the bat. I would also need to search the internet for a solution. Sorry that I cannot help!
@@CodingIsFun Thank you for your response. What I would have liked is some table structure with direct matching with clicking or selecting (Text1 = Client_Name), but the only thing I could come up with is a popup with two listboxes where one is just for show and the other is where I have to pick the right fields then do this: count = -1 for k, v in dict1.items(): count = count +1 try: dict2[selectedkeys[count]] = v except: pass But with this method the selecting must be in the right order and amount as the other.
Thanks for watching. I don’t remember the exact file size of my executable, but it was definitely over 10MB. The “issue” with compiling is that all the packages required to run your GUI need to be included in the executable. To ensure that you compile only the necessary packages for your application, it is recommended to create a virtual environment for your project, as shown in the video. So, turning a Python file into an executable is possible, but it comes with the downside of a potentially large final file size (even for a relatively 'simple' GUI) Cheers, Sven ✌️
Hi. Why is my pyinstaller applications being flagged by antivirus software. I am switching to a new UI and I want to sell my applications, but I don't know how long that would last if my software get flagged by antivirus.
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, this issue occurs quite often. You can see more details here: stackoverflow.com/questions/43777106/program-made-with-pyinstaller-now-seen-as-a-trojan-horse-by-avg
@@CodingIsFun Thank you for the response. I have seen about compiling the bootloader but that would take many gigs to download and is complicated. Just some apps get flagged and others don't. Mystery! Why don't pyinstaller fix it.
Yes, that is possible. Have a look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T3meVMaV8AA.htmlsi=_vPhVryYXpHdvHDk Happy Coding! Cheers, Sven ✌️
Hi love this guide and used it to start learning Python. 🙂 Can some body help me here.. i have a test.ini file with this in it. [TEST] 1 = 0,1,2,3 2 = 3,2,1 4 = A,B,C 5 = A,1,2,B, 3,2 AL = Temp, Man Is there a way to read the ini file like READ["TEST"] and get the 1,2,4,5, AL as a result? PS trying to learn to program python.
Thanks for watching. Here you are: import configparser # Create a configparser object config = configparser.ConfigParser() # Read the ini file config.read('test.ini') # Get the keys from the 'TEST' section keys = config.options('TEST') # Print the keys print(keys) If you like the solution, consider supporting me here: pythonandvba.com/coffee-donation Thanks!
Hey. This was super helpful. But I am facing one issue here. I run the final script, click on settings -> save current settings -> ok (in the popup) and instead of closing only the settings window, this closes the main window as well. However if I do not include the popup feature in the settings window, and then click on save current settings button, then it works as expected and only closes the settings window. Realised that it does not actually close the main window but the main window goes into background processes. This is very undesirable. PLEASE HEL.P
@@CodingIsFun Thanks. It just turned out to be a memory issue on my PC itself. Its resolved now. However I notice that the size of .exe file is 36MB, and the startup time for the app is significant (7 seconds). Is there any way to reduce the startup time and/or reduce the size of .exe file?
Actually I am tasked with making a light and simple GUI as a front-end for some already heavy backend code. This is part of a research project with an industry partner. Can you suggest some other options for doing this?
The app is not working : PS C:\Users\pc> python -u "c:\Users\pc\Desktop\Data_Entry\main.py" Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\pc\Desktop\Data_Entry\main.py", line 105, in font_size = int(settings["GUI"]["font_size"]) TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType'
The app is working, otherwise I would have not been able to record this video 😅 Please check if you entered a number for the font size in the settings file.
Hey,this video helps me a lot. I also combined it using the simple user form to collect information. I just want to understand that whenever I am trying to print those input values in excel, file path is also getting embedded into it. Can you please help here to get specific “key” values in pysimplegui ?
Thank you very much for watching the video and your comment. Your requirements are well noted. Yet, I receive many requests for creating individual solutions. As much as I want to help, I simply do not find the time in my daily schedule to develop & test all the different requests. I hope you can understand. Thank you!
Having 0 knowledge about python and someone who wants to learn and make a custom GUI app for my specific needs, this gives me high hope that it is possible for me to achieve and make one, thank you for this...
While I'm happy to try and help, it sounds like your question is beyond the scope of the tutorial and would require a custom solution. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to code something specific for every viewer. If you'd like some support and guidance from a community of like-minded people, you might want to check out my Discord server at pythonandvba.com/discord. Good luck with your project. Happy Coding!
@@CodingIsFun I have main code(python) about detect mistake document on PDF file and I want to show PDF file on gui. How can I do it? Would you recommend something? Can I Use PySimpleGUI?🥲
In Python, when you import a library, you can choose to give it a different name that's easier to use in your code. In this case, the library PySimpleGUI is assigned the name "sg". This allows you to call functions from PySimpleGUI by using the shortened name "sg" instead of having to type out the full name "PySimpleGUI" each time. For example, instead of writing "PySimpleGUI.Window()", you can write "sg.Window()" to create a new window object. This can make your code more concise and easier to read.
Glad you liked the video. Thank you very much for watching and being a member of this channel for over one year now. I truly appreciate your support! 🙏
I'm only at 9:30 right now so maybe I'll see it happen but I'm noticing you don't use elif statements, is that just a preference? Is there a reason for this?
As I had no even bit of knowledge on python and I found your videos and drives me to learn coding and Yes you are right it’s fun, thanks for introducing me to python and your explanations are very clear and understanding. I saw your video of making gui for data entry. So ad a chef I wanted to make my own program to when I entered the data and it will go and save to a my own excel format. Thanks to you I was successful 90% . ❤ now I wrote the code and everything works, I just wanted to know how I can make it data to go and store in my format as a example Recipe name - will go to the head line and when I feed information to ingredients button it will save in specific column I want it to be. Could you please help me with that ? And keep up the good work. And in my opinion the by watching most other people you make things very clear
