Python help using tkinter

This is my first attempt at a python app and can't find the answers i need so thought i would post here for some help.

This app will be a replacement for my Unitab prices excel sheet, so far i can import the venues and a bit of info for the day, i have tried a few different methods and the closes i can get is it prints the first venue info and stops, yet if you run this in your ide it prints all the info as i would like it.

The print statement doesn't need to be there.

Code:


from tkinter import *
from tkcalendar import Calendar,DateEntry
import json
import requests


app = Tk()
app.title("Todays Races")
app.geometry("1000x500")
app.resizable(width=False, height=False)

date_label = Label(app, text="Input Date", font=("bold", 14), pady=20)
date_label.pack()

cal = DateEntry(app,width=30,bg="darkblue",fg="white",date_pattern='yyyy-mm-dd',year=2020)
cal.pack()

date_btn = Button(app, text="Go", width=8, command=lambda:    get_json())
date_btn.pack()





def get_json():
    state = "VIC"
    date = cal.get()
    url = "https://api.beta.tab.com.au/v1/tab-info-service/racing/dates/" + str(date) + "/meetings?jurisdiction=" + state
    data = requests.get(url)     
    data1 = json.loads(data.content)
    Venues = data1["meetings"]
    for Venue in Venues:
        Rtype = Venue["raceType"]
        track = Venue["meetingName"]
        Rstate = Venue["location"]
        Wcondition = Venue["weatherCondition"]
        Tcondition = Venue["trackCondition"]
        states = ("VIC","NSW","QLD","SA","WA","TAS","ACT")
        if Rtype == "R" and Rstate in states:
           text = track + " " + Rstate + " " + Tcondition + " " + Wcondition
           print(text) 
app.mainloop()

Success......always the way, try to solve a problem for a couple days as soon as i post the issue i figure it out.

Code:


from tkinter import *
from tkcalendar import Calendar,DateEntry
import json
import requests


app = Tk()
app.title("Todays Races")
app.geometry("1000x500")
app.resizable(width=False, height=False)

date_label = Label(app, text="Input Date", font=("bold", 14), pady=20)
date_label.pack()

cal = DateEntry(app,width=30,bg="darkblue",fg="white",date_pattern='yyyy-mm-dd',year=2020)
cal.pack()

date_btn = Button(app, text="Go", width=8, command=lambda:    get_json())
date_btn.pack()





def get_json():
    try:
        state = "VIC"
        date = cal.get()
        url = "https://api.beta.tab.com.au/v1/tab-info-service/racing/dates/" + str(date) + "/meetings?jurisdiction=" + state
        data = requests.get(url)     
        data1 = json.loads(data.content)
        Venues = data1["meetings"]
        for Venue in Venues:
            Rtype = Venue["raceType"]
            track = Venue["meetingName"]
            Rstate = Venue["location"]
            Wcondition = Venue["weatherCondition"]
            Tcondition = Venue["trackCondition"]
            states = ("VIC","NSW","QLD","SA","WA","TAS","ACT")
            if Rtype == "R" and Rstate in states:
               text = track + " " + Rstate + " " + Tcondition + " " + Wcondition
               text_label = Label(app, text=str(text))
               text_label.pack() 
                
    except:
        pass              
app.mainloop()

I have progressed a bit further but having issues with the formatting, if you run this you will notice the results are going in a downward pattern rather than lining up under the headings.

Code:


from tkinter import *
from tkcalendar import Calendar,DateEntry
import json
import requests


app = Tk()
app.title("Todays Races")
app.geometry("1000x500")
app.configure(bg='Lightblue')
app.resizable(width=False, height=False)

        widget.destroy()

    date = cal.get()
    url = "https://api.beta.tab.com.au/v1/tab-info-service/racing/dates/" + str(date) + "/meetings?jurisdiction=" + state
    data = requests.get(url)
    data1 = json.loads(data.content)
    Venues = data1["meetings"]
    for Venue in Venues:
        Rtype = Venue["raceType"]
        Mname = Venue["meetingName"]
        Location = Venue["location"]
        Wcondition = Venue["weatherCondition"]
        Tcondition = Venue["trackCondition"]
        states = ("VIC","NSW","QLD","SA","WA","TAS","ACT")
        if Rtype == "R" and Location in states:
           #Race Info
           Mname_label = Label(Rinfo, text=Mname, font=("bold", 12), width=15, anchor=W, bg="Lightblue")
           Mname_label.grid(column=0, sticky=W)
           Location_label = Label(Rinfo, text=Location, font=("bold", 12), width=5 ,anchor=W, bg="Lightblue")
           Location_label.grid(column=2, sticky=W)
           Tcondition_label = Label(Rinfo, text=Tcondition, font=("bold", 12), width=10 ,anchor=W, bg="Lightblue")

           Wcondition_label = Label(Rinfo, text=Wcondition, font=("bold", 12), width=10 ,anchor=W, bg="Lightblue")

#Race Info Frame
Rinfo = Frame(app, bg="lightblue")
Rinfo.grid(row=2, column=0, sticky=W)

app.mainloop()

try .strip()
on the entries

my early morning guess does not work
to make debug easier, change background colours
just do a think like
MNA_COLOR = "Red"
LOC_COLOR = "Blue"
and use that in places like your race info
then, when you are all filled with joy, change them to what you really want

it is a long time since i used tkinter
i will see if i can find a better answer for you

label.grid( row=0,column=0,sticky=w)

I will try your background solution, it might let me see what's going on, as for adding the row this seems to stop the loop as it always prints on row 0

I solved this by creating a frame and spanning the column, i then just packed everything in from the left then just looped over and did it again.

Setting the colours definitely made a difference as i could see what was happening, now just to set them all back.

from tkinter import *
from tkcalendar import Calendar,DateEntry

app = Tk()
app.title("Todays Races")
app.geometry("1000x500")
app.configure(bg='Lightblue')
app.resizable(width=False, height=False)

    data = requests.get(url)
    data1 = json.loads(data.content)
    Venues = data1["meetings"]
    for V in Venues:
        Rtype = V["raceType"]
        Mname = V["meetingName"]
        Location = V["location"]
        Wcondition = V["weatherCondition"]
        Tcondition = V["trackCondition"]
        states = ("VIC","NSW","QLD","SA","WA","TAS","ACT")
        if Rtype == "R" and Location in states:
           #Race Info frame
           Rinfo = Frame(app, width=100, bg="green")
           Rinfo.grid(columnspan=1)
           #Race info
           Mname_label = Label(Rinfo, text=Mname, font=("bold", 12), width=20, anchor=W, bg="red")
           Mname_label.pack(side=LEFT)
           Location_label = Label(Rinfo, text=Location, font=("bold", 12), width=5 ,anchor=W, bg="red")

hweather.grid(row=0, column=4)


app.mainloop()

#sorry for my rushed reply.
#above the for Venue in venues:
rowo = 0
for Venue in Venues:
#add row=rowo to your .grid( lines
#then at the bottom of that loop under
Wcondition_label.grid( column=4,sticky=W,row=rowo)
rowo += 1
#that will increment the row number
#you need row=rowo or whatever you choose to call it alongside the column=n

I will also try this as it may be useful moving forward with this project.
