how to connect my app python code to gui??

Question

i had made a program for text to speech convertion in python..and now want to make an gui for it...

i have installed wxpython..and have been trying few example available online to understand,but i am not exactly understanding it..

i basically want a frame and a text box to enter text and a button...on clicking the button it the text in the text should be copied to the file and run the app.py file for giving the result.. I am finding this difficult as i am new to wxwidgets.. looking for some help..can someone tell how to perform this simple task in wxpython???

can i do it in vb and connect my py code to it??

import wx
app=wx.App(redirect=False)
window=wx.Frame(None, title='sample gui app',pos=(100,100),size=(400,500))
hellobtn=wx.Button(window,label='hello',pos = (200, 200), size = (60,25))
byeBtn=wx.Button(window,label='bye',pos=(250,250),size=(60,25))
printArea=wx.TextCtrl(window,pos=(10,10),size=(400-120-15-10,25),style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)

window.Show()
app.MainLoop()

this is the code i wrote for creating a frames and text box and button hjow to add events to this and connect to the my code..on clicking a button i want it to run my .py file from cmd prmt on anywhere..

Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

If you want to create the GUI in vb, take a look at IronPython: it's a Python implementation on .net, so you can use the entire .net ecosystem with your Python code.

Answer 2

Since Ned Batchelder covered the VB part of your question, I'll outline a wxPython approach.

In short you'll need to import your module that contains the code you've written previously, then bind the button's click event to a function that calls your code.

import myText2Speech
... code above ...

hellobtn.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton)

def OnButton(self, event):
    """Prep whatever's needed, and call function txt2speech module."""

Of course your final code should be cleaner than all this, but this should give you a jumping off point.

I would like to add that as far a Python GUI programming goes, my best experience has been with Python and QT. I can only assume that the Windows experience is as good as the Linux one.
