pytkgen Description
Create Tkinter GUIs from XML/JSON definition files pytkgen is a Python module to create Tkinter GUIs from XML or JSON definition files.The idea behind this simple module is that you can define Tkinter GUIs in either JSON or XML format. All value which can be configured for an widget can be defined in those files. The module 'tkgen' has an Generator class which is able to parse these files and return you a Tk root.To use a JSON file as input:gui = tkgen.gengui.Generator()root = gui.initialize('ui.json', title = 'Some test gui...')root.mainloop()Or XML:gui = tkgen.gengui.Generator()root = gui.initialize('ui.xml', type = 'xml', title = 'Some test gui...')root.mainloop()Please see the examples in the 'examples/' directory for more details on how to use this package.Module can be retrieved from pypi as well:easy_install/pip install pytkgenSome useful TipsSo since the GUI itself is defined in a XML or JSON file you need to lookup the widgets in your python code to do actual operations on them. The gengui module offers some routines which will make your life easy:- find(name) - Returns the Tkinter widget object of the widget with the given name. Requires that a name was indeed defined in the definition file for this widget. Now that you have the object for an Tkinter widget you can do everything which is defined for this particular widget with it using known techniques.- button(name, cmd) - Associates a 'Button' widget with a command - For example: 'root.destroy'.- checkbox(name) - Returns an 'IntVar' for a 'Checkbox' so you can retrieve the value (0/1) to see if the User checked the box or not.- entry(name) - Returns the text of an 'Entry' widget.Feel free to play around with this - I do not guarantee that it is perfect nor complete - Have Fun!See https://github.com/tmetsch/pytkgen for more information Requirements: · Python
