Olivier,

 

Regarding your suggestion:

def choose(self, widget):
    index = self.b3box.get_position(widget)

 

get_position is not implemented, as you suspected (an error message states so).

 

However, self.b3box is generated by gtk.Hbox which is a child of gtk.Box.

 

One of the child properties of gtk.Box is "position" - which is exactly the value I need.

 

But

  index = self.b3box.position(widget)

and random variants thereof that I've tried have led nowhere.

 

The error message: Attribute Error: "gtk.Hbox" object has no attribute "position"

 

Any suggestion?

I have not used gtk for a while but I'm sure this line doesn't work:

but6 = win.cbbutton(self.b3box, self.choose(self, 1), " 1")

You execute self.choose inside the definition of the widget, but what you want to do is to pass a callback reference to the widget, something like:

but6 = win.cbbutton(self.b3box, self.choose, " 1")

The signature of the callback function is defined inside win.cbutton, I don't think it's a good idea to try to modify it.
Every buttons will call the same function with the widget in argument, so you have to grab the index from the widget... maybe the index inside the box self.b3box:

def choose(self, widget):
    index = self.b3box.get_position(widget) # this is only the idea, I don't know if get_position is implemented in the class used to create self.b3box...

Thanks both to Andres and Olivier.

 

Using both of your suggestions, I modified my Python script segments to the following. However I'm missing something related to "index" (do I need to declare it?), and get various error messages related to the choose function. Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

 

   self.paths = ["0"]*26
   self.jobjects = [None]*26

 def choose(self, index, widget):

   chooser = ObjectChooser(parent=self, what_filter=mime.GENERIC_TYPE_AUDIO)
   result = chooser.run()
   if result == gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT:

     self.jobject[index] = chooser.get_selected_object()
     self.paths[index] = str(self.jobjects[index].get_file_path())
   else:
     self.jobject[index] = None
     self.path[index] = "0"

 

 def send_data(self):

   for i in range(26):
     self.w.set_filechannel("file%d" % i, self.paths[i])

 

Choose is being called by one of 26 cbbuttons (from csndsugui, which is what win. refers to), as in:

     but6 = win.cbbutton(self.b3box, self.choose(self, 1), " 1")
This may well be the source of my problem.

 

Am I perhaps passing the index value 1 to the choose function incorrectly? (I tried: self.choose(self, index=1), "1"

which made no difference.

 

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Art,

Additionally, you could add the index input to the choose function:

def choose (self, index, widget)

Cheers,
Andres

self.path0 -> self.path25 must be a list where you store your paths:
Same thing for self.jobjects... (not sure you really need to keep references to those objects).

self.paths = ["0"]*26
self.jobjects = [None]*26

def choose(self, widget):
    which = something here to grab the order of "widget"
    ....
    self.paths[which] = str(self.jobjects[which].get_file_path())

def send_data(self):

I've written a Python script for a new XO/Sugar activity for children (SamplePlay).
It includes 26 buttons that allow a user to select (from the Journal) up to 26 audio
samples/loops to play. AFAIK, the "filename" must be sent to Csound as a
discrete variable, on its own channel (see below).

As a result, I've 26 iterations(!) (0-25) of the same basic code. I'd like
to simplify it if possible (the code itself works fine). Any suggestions from
you Python/Csound enthusiasts are very much welcomed. (The code references
Victor's csndsugui.py, but I don't think this is significant her

 self.path0 = "0"
 (up through)
 self.path25 = "0"

 self.jobject0 = None
 (through)
 self.jobject25 = None

def choose0(self, widget):
 chooser = ObjectChooser(parent=self, what_filter=mime.GENERIC_TYPE_AUDIO)
 result = chooser.run()
 if result == gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT:
   self.jobject0 = chooser.get_selected_object()
   self.path0 = str(self.jobject0.get_file_path())
 else:
   self.jobject0 = None
   self.path0 = "0"
 (through)
def choose25(self, widget):
 chooser = ObjectChooser(parent=self, what_filter=mime.GENERIC_TYPE_AUDIO)
 result = chooser.run()
 if result == gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT:
   self.jobject25 = chooser.get_selected_object()
   self.path25 = str(self.jobject25.get_file_path())
 else:
   self.jobject25 = None
   self.path25 = "0"

def send_data(self):
 self.w.set_filechannel("file0", self.path0)
 self.w.set_filechannel("file1", self.path1)
 (through)
 self.w.set_filechannel("file24", self.path24)
 self.w.set_filechannel("file25", self.path25)


Hoping (as a Python novice) to be shown a more efficient way; I'm in the dark -
