Tkinter Addressbook

  #1
Apr 30th, 2007
I am new to python and Tkinter. I was trying to build an addressbook for my class. I have the Tkinter GUI looking good - nothing fancy. Now I can't get my python part working. I want to keep the GUI in its own class and file. My two files are project.py and AddressBookGUI.py
AddressBookGUI.py
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. # This file is named AddressBookGui.py
  2. from Tkinter import *
  3. import tkMessageBox
  4. from ScrolledText import *
  5. import project
  6.  
  7. class GUI:
  8.   def __init__(self):
  9.     root = Tk()
  10.     root.title("Simple Address Book")
  11.     root.geometry('500x400')
  12.     b =Frame(root, bd = 3, bg='darkblue')
  13.     b.pack(side='top', fill = 'x')
  14.     findit = Entry(b, width=30)
  15.     find = Button(b, text = "SEARCH LASTNAME",command=project.findname)
  16.     find.pack(side = "right", pady = 5, padx = 10)
  17.     findit.pack(side='right')
  18.     record = Button(b, text ="NEW RECORD",command=project.openwindow)
  19.     record.pack(side = "left", pady = 10, padx = 10)
  20.     a = Frame(root, bd = 3,bg='darkblue')
  21.     a.pack(side='left', fill = 'y')
  22.     openfile = Button(a, text = "OPEN",command=project.readfile)
  23.     openfile.pack(side = "top", pady =10, padx =10)

  45.     x = open(filename,"r")
  46.     for y in x:
  47.         thelist1.insert(END,y.strip())
  48.     x.close()

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have been working on this for days and am ready to cry .

thanks!

My suggestion is to break this monster down to smaller parts and test each part before you assemble it all. Get familiar with GUI programming, classes, callbacks, functions and so on.

At first glance there are a lot of mistakes. For instance this line:
printrec= Button(a, text ="PRINT LIST",command=project.printfile(thelist1))
has 2 errors, thelist1 has not been established yet, and command does not accept a function call but a function object.
May 'the Google' be with you!
