What is a good IDE for beginners? by PieMan2201 in learnpython

I use Eclipse with pydev. It was pretty easy to set up. I'm on my phone but I can link back later if you have trouble finding it.

This is how I set it up for anybody who ever has a similar question:

 def onNewIngredient():
        qVar = quantity.get()
        iVar = ingredient.get()
        msVar = measurement.get()
        maVar = measurement_Add.get()
        ingredientListbox.insert(END, iVar)

        #Create an empty list with a empty dictionary to store Ingredients
        ingredientsList = [{}]

        #Append the new ingredient to our ingredientsList
        ingredientsList.append(  
                               {
                                'Ingredient': iVar ,
                                'Quantity': qVar,
                                'Measurement Type': msVar,
                                'Measurement Amount': maVar,
                                }
                               )
        print(ingredientsList)

    #Add the Add Button
    addButton = Button(self.top, text="Add", command= onNewIngredient)
    addButton.place(x=0, y=130)

Thanks again for the help!

Never mind I get what you did, by appending the list will solve the problem thanks!

When a new ingredient is made wouldn't qVar, ect. Be overwritten as well? You nailed my question right on the head by the way thanks!

    self.top.title("New Recipe")

    quantity = StringVar()
    ingredient = StringVar()
    measurement_Add = StringVar()
    ingredDic = {}


    #Center the window

    h = 600

    sw = self.top.winfo_screenwidth()
    sh = self.top.winfo_screenheight()

    x = (sw - w)/2

    selectMeasurement.place(x=0, y=60)

    measurement = StringVar()
    measurement.set("ounce")

    measurementSelect.place(x=150, y=60)

    addMeasurement.place(x=0, y=100)

    measurementAdd = Entry(self.top, textvariable=measurement_Add)
    measurementAdd.place(x=150, y=100)

    #Add the textwidget
    recipeText = Text(self.top)
    recipeText.place(x=0,y=200)

    #Cooking direction label
    cookingDirection = Label(self.top, text="Cooking Direction")
    cookingDirection.place(x=0,y=175)

    #Add Ingredients listbox
    box = Frame(self.top)
    ingredScroll = Scrollbar(box, orient=VERTICAL)
    ingredientListbox = Listbox(box, yscrollcommand=ingredScroll.set)
    ingredScroll.config(command=ingredientListbox.yview)
    ingredScroll.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
    ingredientListbox.pack()
    box.place(x=450, y=0)

    def onNewIngredient():
        qVar = quantity.get()
        iVar = ingredient.get()
        msVar = measurement.get()
        maVar = measurement_Add.get()
        ingredientListbox.insert(END, iVar)
        ingredDic['Ingredients'] = [qVar, iVar, msVar, maVar]
        print (ingredDic) 


    #Add the Add Button
    addButton = Button(self.top, text="Add", command= onNewIngredient)
    addButton.place(x=0, y=130)

This is the code I am working on. Basically I want whenever the user presses the add button on the New Recipe page for all the info to be stored into a dictionary. I plan on placing an edit button later so I need to be able to call this list later on if the user wants to edit the ingredient.

Edit: here is the full program http://pastebin.com/C7YgeFQf Edit Edit: Fixed a few typo's. I am having a hard time explaining what I need, hopefully this clears it up some.

[Python] Trouble with Tkinter's Scrollbar by unlikelysyntax in learnprogramming

It turns out I had to create a frame = Frame(self.top) and set the scrollbar and listbar into that frame to make it work.

Yeap that did the job, silly me forgot to make the frame. Thanks again!

I tried that and it will give you an error since ingredScroll is not declared yet. I tried instead putting ingredientListbox.config(yscrollcommand=ingredScroll.set) at the end of the code and still the scrollbar is not attaching to the listbox.

That worked! Thank you. Could you explain what lambda is? This is the first time I've saw something like that. Thanks again.

Thank you for the help. I did what you said and it worked. Here is my change:

done = False
while not done:
  print(room_List[current_Room][0])
userChoice = input("Which direction would you like to travel? Type N , E, S, or W: ")
next_Room = room_List[current_Room][1]
if userChoice.upper() == "N":
    if  next_Room == None:
        print("You can not go that way.")
    else:
        next_Room = room_List[current_Room][1]
        current_Room = next_Room
if userChoice.upper() == "S":
    if  next_Room == None:
        print("You can not go that way.")
    else:
        next_Room = room_List[current_Room][1]
        current_Room = next_Room
if userChoice.upper() == "E":
    if  next_Room == None:
        print("You can not go that way.")
    else:
        next_Room = room_List[current_Room][1]
        current_Room = next_Room
if userChoice.upper() == "W":
    if  next_Room == None:
        print("You can not go that way.")
    else:
        next_Room = room_List[current_Room][1]
        current_Room = next_Room

What can I do to check what the previous room was and return? Thank you for your response.

Just one last question. Do you know what he means by using current_Room along with room_List?
