tkextras

Enhancing tkinter development with streamlined rendering and DataFrame-powered Treeview.

tkextras is a lightweight Python library that extends tkinter functionality, making GUI development easier and more efficient. It introduces a simplified widget rendering system and an extended Treeview component that integrates seamlessly with pandas DataFrames.

Features

• WidgetsRender: Unified interface for rendering widgets with grid(), pack(), and place() methods.
• TreeviewDataFrame: Extended ttk.Treeview that synchronizes with pandas.DataFrame.
• Built-in Filtering: Interactive filtering and flagging for table-based data.
• Event System Integration: Custom events for enhanced user interaction.
• Sphinx Documentation: Full API documentation and usage examples.

Installation

1. Install the module:

   pip install tkextras
   

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/whellcome/tkextras.git
   cd tkextras
   

Usage

Rendering Widgets Easily

import tkinter as tk
from tkextras import WidgetsRender


class ExampleApp(WidgetsRender, tk.Tk, ):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    lable = self.rgrid(tk.Label(self), dict(row=0, column=0))
    lable['text'] = "Hello, World!"

app = ExampleApp()
app.mainloop()

Working with Treeview and DataFrames

from tkextras import TreeviewDataFrame
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
tree = TreeviewDataFrame(root, columns=["Name", "Married", "Employed"], show='headings')
tree.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

tree.insert("", "end", values=("Alice", " ", " "))  # Normal rows addition
tree.insert("", "end", values=("Bob", " ", " "))

tree.make_tree()  # Tree design, can include a Dataframe(transformed, with identical columns) to loading
tree.bind("<<TreeToggleCell>>", lambda x: print(tree.df))  # DataFrame synchronization

root.mainloop()
