Hi all,

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a simple tkinter gui that has two buttons: "Stop", "GO"

I am trying to loop through a pandas data frame, and for each row I would like to display a word and depending on which button is clicked (Stop or Go), I would like to append the result of the button that is clicked to the data frame for the particular index.

If possible I would like the GUI to always remain in the forefront (in front of all windows).

I have the GUI and data frame loading, but I am not sure how to combine the two.

from tkinter import *
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename
import pandas as pd

class Window(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.master = master
        self.init_window()


    def init_window(self):
        self.master.title("TEST GUI")
        self.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)

        StopButton = Button(self, text="Stop", command=self.stop)
        GoButton = Button(self, text="Go", command=self.go)

        StopButton.place(x=25, y=25)
        GoButton.place(x=25, y=80)

    def stop(self):
        print('stop')

    def go(self):
        print('go')

Tk().withdraw()
filename = askopenfilename()
if filename == '':
    exit()


data = pd.read_excel(filename)
data['Stop_or_Go'] = ''

root = Tk()
root.geometry("400x300")
app = Window(root)


for index, series in data.iterrows():
    word_of_day = series['Word']
    #this is where I want the to be able to click Stop or Go
    data.at[index, 'Stop_or_Go'] = #GUI BUTTON RESPONSE


root.mainloop()
