Pyroot GUI - tutorial examples problems, 6.22.06

[jaromrax]

Hello,
sorry for a probably stupid question. How to get GUI elements in tutorial/pyroot working?

First I have first found, I need to run with python3 -i ... gui_ex.py - see here

But anyway,

Demo.py - every (but the first) button gives

enter "q" to quit: enter "q" to quit: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'execfile' is not defined

numberEntry.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "numberEntry.py", line 51, in <module>
    window = pMyMainFrame( gClient.GetRoot(), 50, 50 )
  File "numberEntry.py", line 25, in __init__
    self.fLabelDispatch = TPyDispatcher( self.DoSetlabel )
NameError: name 'TPyDispatcher' is not defined

gui_ex.py this one shows two buttons, but doesnt scale the content with the window.

I have seen there were some issues with the new pyroot in 6.22., I use the precompiled version, I see TPython in the code so I am not sure, where to start. I found some older discussions, but not too clear to me.
thread 1
thread 2
thread 3

Basically, I just want to have a menu left, canvas on right. I cannot catch-up with the examples. Might be my fault - I didn’t compile root this time and used the precompiled version for ubuntu 20.04.
Or, is that better/feasible to start with PySimpleGUI of Kivi instead and display a canvas in them somehow? (this happens to be a second question, actually).

Thank you,
jaromir

Hi Jaromir,

I can confirm the issues with gui_ex.py and numberEntry.py, but demo.py works fine for me. Some issues might have been fixed meanwhile, so could you try compiling from the github sources?

@etejedor @eguiraud Do you have any suggestions?

Cheers,
Jakob

Hi,
this is one for Enric, our PyROOT expert – as he is off until the end of the month, it’s probably best to convert this thread to a GitHub issue so he can take a look when he’s back.

Sorry I cannot be of more help,
Enrico
