Autoscrolling text - Python

[aktiwers]

I want to write a small program that displays auto-scrolling text (with Tkinter?),or at least some GUI.

The text should come from a text .txt file.

I am still a beginner in Python and can't really grasp how to do this? Like how to control the timings from each line to show up etc?

Would a loop calling each line be the right way to do this?

Or how would you approach this? All help/links will be very appreciated :)

Okay I settled with using the readlines() and the Timer() class.

Gonna post some code if I get it to work :)

Okay I can't get this to work :(

I want it to print a new line from the text file every 4 second.. but instead it waits 4 seconds
and then print the whole text file.. can anyone help me out with this?
(Sorry about the danish code, let me know if it is I need to translate it)


from threading import Timer
# Insaet sti paa text dokument imellem "". (boer ikke aendres)
dokument = "test.txt"

# Indstil hastigheden paa texten her
#(4.00 = 4 sekunder)
tid = 4.00

"""
Beskrivelse af funktionen
"""
def skriv():

f = open(dokument, "r") # indlaeser text dokument
linie = f.readlines()

count = len(linie) # taeller antal linier i dokument
print count


# Loop der fungere som scrolling text
def hejsa():
for x in range(0, count):

print linie[x]
t.cancel()


# En timer

t = Timer(tid, hejsa)
t.start()

Argh!! Nevermind! Got it !



def skriv():

f = open(dokument, "r") # indlaeser text dokument
linie = f.readlines()

count = len(linie) # taeller antal linier i dokument
print count


# Loop der fungere som scrolling text
for x in range(0, count):
time.sleep(3)
print linie[x]

Argh!! Nevermind! Got it !
great :)

btw
it might be an advantage not to use danish in code.
not that i have trouble reading it since i am from denmark my selve.
but if anyone else reads it and dont know danish it can prevent some from answering.
good luck whit your project :)

Hey Thanks or Tak :)

Now my next problem is to get it into tkinter :(

Don't use Tkinter, its ugly.

I would recommend pygtk (http://pygtk.org/).It has
functions to scroll text btw.

And use glade to design the ui.Great tutorial here (http://www.micahcarrick.com/12-24-2007/gtk-glade-tutorial-part-1.html)
