zenity_soso

Python wrapper for zenity.

From the zenity manpage:

zenity is a program that will display GTK+ dialogs, and return (either in the return code, or on standard output) the users input. This allows you to present information, and ask for information from the user, from all manner of shell scripts.

For example, zenity --question will return either 0, 1 or 5, depending on whether the user pressed OK, Cancel or timeout has been reached. zenity --entry will output on standard output what the user typed into the text entry field.

Examples:

Show a message:

from zenity_soso import Info
dlg = Info(text = 'This is the message text', title = 'Some info')
dlg.show()

Ask a question:

from zenity_soso import Question
dlg = Question(text = 'Are you really <b>sure</b> you want to do that?',
    ok_label = 'Sure', cancel_label = 'No, not ever')
if dlg.show():
    print('Okay, you asked for it!')

(The above example illustrates the use of "Pango" markup. See: https://docs.gtk.org/Pango/pango_markup.html)

Choose one out of a list:

from zenity_soso import List
dlg = List(['Tom', 'Dick', 'Harry'])
res = dlg.show()
if res:
    print(f'Sending this off to {res} ...')

Pick a color:

from zenity_soso import Color_Selection
dlg = Color_Selection(color = "#00FF00")
res = dlg.show()
if res:
    print(f'Color me {res}')
