I have a list and 3 paths. Every path refers to an application that runs specifically for that country.
country = ['Spain', 'United Kingdom', 'Malaysia']
path_spain = r"c:\data\FF\Desktop\PythonFolder\spain_software.py"
path_uk = r"c:\data\FF\Desktop\PythonFolder\uk_software.py"
path_malaysia = r"c:\data\FF\Desktop\PythonFolder\malaysia_software.py"
The Run button
I created needs to trigger one of those 3 applications based on the country I select in the OptionMenu
. So If I select Malaysia
I want the Run button
to run the application in the path_malaysia
. I'm struggling to fix this. Preferably I would also like the Run button
to change to Run application Malaysia
if I click Malaysia
in the OptionMenu
for example.
This is my code:
import os
from tkinter import *
window = Tk()
window.title("Running Python Script") #Create window
window.geometry('550x300') #geo of the window
def run():
os.system('python path_spain')
#The run button (this button runs some other software)
run_button = Button(window, text="Run application.....", bg="blue", fg="white",command=run)
run_button.grid(column=0, row=2)
#These are the option menus
dd_country = StringVar(window)
dd_country.set(country [0]) #the first value
w = OptionMenu(window, dd_country, *country)
w.grid(row=0,column=1)
#These are the titles
l1 = Label(window, text='Select Country', width=15 )
l1.grid(row=0,column=0)
mainloop()
Right now it only runs for Spain...
import os
from tkinter import *
owner = ['Spain', 'United Kingdom', 'Malaysia']
path_spain = r"c:\data\FF\Desktop\PythonFolder\spain_software.py"
path_uk = r"c:\data\FF\Desktop\PythonFolder\uk_software.py"
path_malaysia = r"c:\data\FF\Desktop\PythonFolder\malaysia_software.py"
window = Tk()
window.title("Running Python Script") # Create window
window.geometry('550x300') # geo of the window
def run():
if dd_owner.get() == "Spain":
print("spain")
# os.system('python path_spain')
elif dd_owner.get() == "United Kingdom":
os.system('python path_uk')
elif dd_owner.get() == "Malaysia":
os.system('python path_malaysia')
def update_button(_):
run_button.config(text="Run application {}".format(dd_owner.get()))
# The run button (this button runs some other software)
# These are the option menus
dd_owner = StringVar(window)
dd_owner.set(owner[0]) # the first value
w = OptionMenu(window, dd_owner, *owner, command=update_button)
# w.config()
w.grid(row=0, column=1)
run_button = Button(window, text="Run application {}".format(dd_owner.get()), bg="blue", fg="white",command=run)
run_button.grid(column=0, row=2)
# These are the titles
l1 = Label(window, text='Select Owner', width=15)
l1.grid(row=0, column=0)
mainloop()
This will solve your problem
