PyQt how to capture print output and display in text field - cmd

The following script is part of a more complex one. I have taken out some parts just for simplification.
My aim is to insert a textedit field that captures the print output of the command window (when the pushbutton is pressed) and displays it inside the text field while the program is executing.
The suggestions I found are too much aimed at scripts that have no other functions. But my script is already quite complex and I don’t want to change it from the beginning or rewrite the whole script.
Does anyone have an idea on how to include the function in the script in a relatively simple way? I have tried it without success.
Any kind help would be appreciated.

Urwid and Multiprocessing

i try to sequence some actions in urwid
I made a timer which run in background and communicate with the mainprocess
like this:
from multiprocessing import Process, Pipe
import time
import urwid
def show_or_exit(key):
if key in ('q', 'Q'):
raise urwid.ExitMainLoop()
class midiloop(urwid.Frame):
def __init__(self):
self.message = urwid.Text('Press Space', align='center')
self.filler = urwid.Filler(self.message, "middle")
super().__init__(urwid.Frame(self.filler))
def keypress(self, size, key):
if key == " ":
self.seq()
else:
return key
def timer(self,conn):
x = 0
while True:
if (conn.poll() == False):
pass
else:
z = conn.recv()
if (z == "kill"):
return()
conn.send(x)
x+=1
time.sleep(0.05)
def seq(self):
self.parent_conn, self.child_conn = Pipe()
self.p = Process(target=self.timer, args=(self.child_conn,))
self.p.start()
while True:
if (self.parent_conn.poll(None)):
self.y = self.parent_conn.recv()
self.message.set_text(str(self.y))
loop.draw_screen()
if ( self.y > 100 ):
self.parent_conn.send("kill")
self.message.set_text("Press Space")
return()
if __name__ == '__main__':
midiloop = midiloop()
loop = urwid.MainLoop(midiloop, unhandled_input=show_or_exit, handle_mouse=True)
loop.run()
The problem is i'm blocking urwid mainloop with while True:
So anyone can give me a solution to listen for key Q to quit the program before it reachs the end of the loop for example and more generally to interact with urwid and communicate with the subprocess
It seems to be rather complicated to combine multiprocessing and urwid.
Since you're using a timer and your class is called midiloop, I'm going to guess that maybe you want to implement a mini sequencer.
One possible way of implementing that is using an asyncio loop instead of urwid's MainLoop, and schedule events with the loop.call_later() function. I've implemented a simple drum machine with that approach in the past, using urwid for drawing the sequencer, asyncio for scheduling the play events and simpleaudio to play. You can see the code for that here: https://github.com/eliasdorneles/kickit
If you still want to implement communication with multiprocessing, I think your best bet is to use urwid.AsyncioEventLoop and the aiopipe helper for duplex communication.
It's not very minimal I'm afraid. However I did spend a day writing this Urwid frontend that starts, stops and communicates with a subprocess.

Tkinter auto scrolling frame almost working. Apreciate input

I am trying to develop a scrollable frame in tkinter that can be used in the same way a normal frame can.
Thanks to many hint in this forum i develloped some code, that does exactly what it is supposed to, if i pack the scrollframe in the root window.
Unfortunately it fails if i use place or grid.
Here the code for the Frame
import tkinter as tk
class ScrollFrame(tk.Frame): #this frame will be placed on a canvas that is in a frame that goes on the parent window
class AutoScrollbar(tk.Scrollbar):
def set(self, *args):
if float(args[0])==0 and float(args[1])==1: self.grid_forget()
else:
if self.cget('orient')=="vertical": self.grid(row=0,column=1,sticky="ns")
else: self.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky="ew")
tk.Scrollbar.set(self, *args)
def __init__(self, root,*args,**args2):
self.outer_frame=tk.Frame(root,*args,**args2) #this is the frame that will be packed in th parent window
self.outer_frame.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
self.outer_frame.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=2)
self.canvas = tk.Canvas(self.outer_frame, borderwidth=0, background="#ffffff")
tk.Frame.__init__(self, self.canvas,*args,**args2)
self.vscroll = ScrollFrame.AutoScrollbar(self.outer_frame, orient="vertical", command=self.canvas.yview)
self.hscroll = ScrollFrame.AutoScrollbar(self.outer_frame, orient="horizontal", command=self.canvas.xview)
self.canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=self.vscroll.set, xscrollcommand=self.hscroll.set)
self.canvas.create_window((0,0), window=self, anchor="nw")
self.canvas.grid(row=0,column=0,sticky="news")
self.hscroll.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky="ew")
self.vscroll.grid(row=0,column=1,sticky="ns")
self.bind("<Configure>", self.onFrameConfigure)
def onFrameConfigure(self, event): #Adapt the scroll region #does the resizing
self.canvas.config(scrollregion=self.canvas.bbox("all"))
self.canvas.config(width=event.width, height=event.height)
#convenience functions so the ScrollFrame can be treated like a normal frame
def destr_org(self):tk.Frame.destroy(self)
def destroy(self):
self.destroy=self.destr_org
self.outer_frame.destroy()
def pack(self,*args,**arg2):
self.outer_frame.pack(*args,**arg2)
def place(self,*args,**arg2):
self.outer_frame.place(*args,**arg2)
def grid(self,*args,**arg2):
self.outer_frame.grid(*args,**arg2)

self.outer_frame.config(*args,**arg2)
tk.Frame.config(self,*args,**arg2)
def configure(self,*args,**arg2):
self.outer_frame.config(*args,**arg2)
tk.Frame.config(self,*args,**arg2)
here the code i used to test it. Just uncomment the f.place and f.grid lines to try them.
win=tk.Tk()
f=ScrollFrame(win)
for n in range(10):
o=tk.Button(f,text="-----------------------"+str(n)+"------------------------")
o.pack()
f.pack(expand=True, fill=tk.BOTH)
#f.place(x=0, y=0)
#f.grid(column=0,row=0)
Since i get no errors i am somewat lost and would be grateful for hints why it doesnt work.
I know there are packages with scrollable frames, but i really would like to get a frame without additional imports.
Its also tru that it is a little more complicated than necessary, but that is because I tried to design it in a way that it can be filled and placed exactly like a tk.Frame
Thanks a lot
Ok, I figured it out.
This works quite well for pack() and place() (didnt try to get grid working) (on Linux)
The key for place() is the binding to the resizing of the parent window, whereas for pack() the resizing of the inner frame (=self) seems to be important.
Even though the code of Novel (see comments above) is quite more elegant than mine, it sometimes gave me errors were this one worked :-)

Arrow key event handling in PyObjC

I am trying to make an app using PyObjC and am struggling to find how to record arrow key (left and right). I would like to be able to record every time the user presses the left and right arrow keys. I am using another example found online. Instead of the buttons used in previous example for increment and detriment, I would like to use the arrow keys on the key board. Been looking a while and thought I could get some help here. Thanks!

Your NSView-derived class should implement a keyDown_ and / or keyUp_. You also need to have acceptsFirstResponder return True:
from AppKit import NSView
class MyView(NSView)
def keyDown_(self, event):
pass
def keyUp_(self, event):
pass
def acceptsFirstResponder(self):
return True
Here'a an example implementation from the PyObjC documentation you can use: https://pythonhosted.org/pyobjc/examples/Cocoa/AppKit/DragItemAround/index.html

Can I make a QToolButton perform QLabel.setLayout(someLayout)? -- setting row height isn't working

My only GUI experience is with java.swing. I'm using PySide to update which of two QGridLayouts are set to a QLabel depending on a button press, but the actual update isn't happening. Making a call to self.update() after lines 123 and 130 didn't work. Should I be using a repaint event or something?
def displaySimulator(self):
if self.sim_vis == True: pass
else:
self.sim_vis = True
self.graph_vis = False
self.options.setLayout(self.simulator_settings)
def displayGraphing(self):
if self.graph_vis == True: pass
else:
self.graph_vis = True
self.sim_vis = False
self.options.setLayout(self.graphing_settings)
Here's the full code.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, the toolbar label at the top is way too big...
self.layout.setRowMinimumHeight(0,20)
self.layout.setColumnMinimumWidth(0,250)
self.layout.setColumnMinimumWidth(1,1000)
setColumnMinimumWidth() works fine but setRowMinimumHeight() doesn't seem to work at all. I'm still a little confused about how the size of QWidgets are affected by layouts, containers, and subwidgets...perhaps I need to adjust the size of the QLabel, toolbar?
Try using a QWidget instead of a QLabel for self.options. Does that change anything?
For the toolbar spacing, do addStretch() after you add the last widget to the layout, but note that if you use a layout in a toolbar, you lose the built-in capabilities for it to autosize and hide buttons in a "... more options ..." type thing.
Since you name your object a toolbar I would actually make it a QToolbar. I would like to point out some styling points, because you said you were new.
import * is always bad for many reasons. You should know what you are importing and from where.
from PySide import QtGui, QtCore
Since you have a main GUI that you are running I would make that a QMainWindow. I would then add a menu bar and move some of your functionality to a file menu or edit menu.
This is just my style and how I like to do things

PySide crash on exit (using QCompleter)

I have reproduced the "Custom Completer Example" from the Qt documentation using PySide
(Python 2.7.3, PySide 1.1.2, Qt 4.8.1).
I have an issue where a win32 exception is thrown on exit (or on Mac OS X a access violation exception).
On the Mac I can see a stack trace and the issue occurs during garbage collection, where references to QObjects are apparently not consistent, such that things go bad.
I can see this crash with the following self-contained script, only if a completer insertion was accepted. I.e. type the first few letters, then accept the completion.
On the other hand, if I have seen the completion list popup, but not accepted the completion, no crash occurs on exit.
