Sorry guys for not be clear - recursive isn't the correct term -
that's what you get when you fire off an email late at night.
I want to create 10 buttons through a loop, each with different text
and passing a different var to another function. My current code is:
(the bit I'm currently working on is near the bottom)
#!/usr/bin/env python
from Tkinter import *
from tkFont import *
from string import *
from sys import*
from re import *
class Application(Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None, geometry="500x200"):
"""Starts the application off"""
Frame.__init__(self,master)
self.grid()
self.addMenu()
self.createWidgets()
def quit(self):
self.master.quit()
def save(self):
print "saving..."
def open(self):
print "opening..."
def about(self):
print "about"
def addMenu(self):
menu = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menu)
filemenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)
menu.add_cascade(label="File", menu=filemenu)
filemenu.add_command(label="Open", command=self.open)
filemenu.add_command(label="Save...", command=self.save)
filemenu.add_separator()
filemenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=self.quit)
helpmenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)
menu.add_cascade(label="Help", menu=helpmenu)
helpmenu.add_command(label="About...", command=self.about)
def createWidgets(self):
"""This creates all the widgets in the main frame"""
titleLabel = Label(text="Squawk report generator")
titleLabel.grid(column = 0, row=0)
firstNameLabel = Label(text="First name: ")
firstNameLabel.grid(column = 0, row = 3, sticky = NW)
self.firstname = StringVar()
firstNameEntry = Entry(textvariable = self.firstname)
firstNameEntry.grid(column =1, row=3, sticky = NW)
surNameLabel = Label(text="Surname: ")
surNameLabel.grid(column = 0, row = 4, sticky = NW)
self.surname= StringVar()
surNameEntry = Entry(textvariable=self.surname)
surNameEntry.grid(column = 1, row=4, stick=NW)
button = Button(text ="hello")
#Now we will loop around showing the entry fields
button = []
for i in range(0,10):
print i
buttonlabel = "field " +str(i)
button[i].append = Button (text=buttonlabel)
button[i].grid(column=3, row = i+3)
root = Tk()
app = Application(root)
app.master.title("Squawk Report Generator")
app.mainloop()
The current error is:
File "report.py", line 80, in createWidgets
button[i].append = Button (text=buttonlabel)
IndexError: list index out of range
TIA
