I'm using python for my little project and for fun I made my program one single file and it's kinda large and messy right now so I decide try to devide several files and import it. It's ok to work but the problem is I have no idea how to use text.insert func
gui_test.py
from tkinter import *
import threading
from test import test_fun
def t_test():
t0 = threading.Thread(target=test_fun)
t0.start()
if __name__ == "__main__":
root = Tk()
root.title(f"test_gui")
root.geometry("355x280")
txt = Text(root, width=50, height=10, wrap=WORD) # log
txt.place(x=0, y=20)
txt.config(state=NORMAL)
btn1 = Button(root, text="test_button", command=t_test)
btn1.place(x=5, y=160)
root.mainloop()
test.py
import time
def test_fun():
sec = 0
while True:
txt.insert(END, f"{sec}\n")
sec += 1
time.sleep(1)
How can I send some text and show on gui_test.py?
Looking for easiest way
Solved
gui_test.py
from tkinter import *
import threading
from test import test_fun
def t_test():
t0 = threading.Thread(target=test_fun, args=(root,), daemon=False)
t0.start()
if __name__ == "__main__":
root = Tk()
root.title(f"test_gui")
root.geometry("355x280")
root.txt = Text(root, width=50, height=10, wrap=WORD) # log
root.txt.place(x=0, y=20)
root.txt.config(state=NORMAL)
btn1 = Button(root, text="test_button", command=t_test)
btn1.place(x=5, y=160)
root.mainloop()
test.py
import time
from tkinter import *
def test_fun(widget):
sec = 0
while True:
widget.txt.insert(END, f"{sec}\n")
widget.txt.update()
widget.txt.see(END)
sec += 1
time.sleep(1)
You need to pass the Tk() object to the function if you want the function to be able to change anything in it:
def test_fun(widget):
sec = 0
while True:
widget.txt.insert(END, f"{sec}\n")
widget.txt.update()
sec += 1
time.sleep(1)
And then you need to make the Text box a part of the widget:
root.txt = Text(root, width=50, height=10, wrap=WORD) # log
root.txt.place(x=0, y=20)
root.txt.config(state=NORMAL)
Now, you can call the function by writing test_fun(root)
and it will start filling the window.
(unfortunately, I'm not familiar with threading. But a lambda-function passing root should be feasible)
