This is “kind of” a continuation on an anti-geek theme I’ve propounded before. You may or may not have encountered the comment that the content of this site began with an orientation to being of service to a (then) 12-year-old grandson. That said, I find Python documents that use this kind of vocabulary, without inclusive […]

I don’t know about you but rarely do I get into a project that does not eventually call for me to take pictures, create graphics or adjust and modify the same. Not being rich and not being a professional in this area (ok, that could be argued) I have elected not to spend the thousands […]

Have you had the fun of Google suddenly offering a Google Python challenge while you were researching something?  If you have, we would love to post your story – you can see two examples posted in in the SHORT PROGRAM EXAMPLES SECTION of www.wikipython.com.  See “A little fun: Solar Doomsday” and “I Love Lance & […]

4/9/2018  Shortly, wikipython will announce an awesome real-time resource for students and occasional users of tkinter. A completely free, open source, uncomplicated python program called tksidekick.  The third version is in the hands of beta testers now. It will be explained here on wikipython, but just like our toolboxes you will download the program from GitHub […]

I am now looking for 2 volunteers to beta test tksidekick 3 and give me feedback. If you would like to help, send your name and email to me at oakey.john@yahoo.com. All information from all responses will be absolutely confidential forever. You should be well on your way to learning tkinter or an irregular user […]

I have posted a rant and some demo code on a new page that addresses finding a pathname, widget name, widget id, etc., when you create a series of widgets in a loop and don’t know how to address them. Also, I guess, it addresses the question of given x,y coords (like from event data) […]

You may or may not have gotten into this site far enough to understand that our first tier objectives are accuracy and clarity and our second tier objective is just to have and share fun with Python and Raspberry Pi. (I know, RPi has been woefully neglected but you can blame that on tkinter needing […]

This is a solved problem by at least one person. But an issue avoided by the experts – read on. I am working on a multi-widget demo for an article that will tout using Excel to layout a screen and calculate grid dimensions as a “plan” to guide app construction.  One of the things I […]

Last night the final addition to www.wikipython.com for 2017 was added. It is an article called Anatomy of a Class – an overview for beginners. It is written with the benefit of having spent considerable time with a 14 year old grandson learning the basics of Python. So, instead of starting out with a technical […]

Rarely do I get communication from site users – which is OK. I don’t solicit much communication, tho I do enjoy suggestions, criticism, and general interaction with those who are interested in Python. A user wondered recently if I had stopped updating the site. The answer is no, but the current hold up is part […]
