Progress Bar While Sending an Email - maxtimbo - Oct-08-2019 Hello, I am trying to create a progress bar for my tkinter based gui that shows the user that an email is being sent. I've never successfully implemented threading or multi-processing before, simply because any application I thought I would need either of them, it was easier and faster without. My thought was that I would need to create a popup tkinter object with a progress bar that polls a separate function that sends the email. These two function would then be combined in a single caller function that uses concurrent.futures. I'm not really sure, however, how I can poll the send_mail function from the mail_waitbox function. Here's the relevant code from my project: class MainApplication(ttk.Frame): def __init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs): ttk.Frame.__init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs) #gui setup and variables. self.email_test_button = ttk.Button(self.email_tab, width=36, text="Test Email Settings", command=self.check_email) self.email_test_button.grid(row=11, column=1, padx=20, pady=5) def check_email_waitbox(self): popup = tk.Toplevel() popup_label = ttk.Label(popup, text="Message being sent").grid(row=0, column=0) progress = 0 progress_var = tk.DoubleVar() progress_bar = ttk.Progressbar(popup, variable=progress_var, maximum=100) progress_bar.grid(row=1, column=0) def check_email_backend(self): t1=time.perf_counter() print(t1) sender_name = self.display_email_from.get() test = "testlog.txt" for x in self.display_email_recipient: recipients = [x] with open(test, "w+") as f: f.write(f"From: {sender_name}\n") f.write(f"To: {recipients}\n") f.write("Subject: Testing\n\n") f.write("This is a test mailer.") try: server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(self.display_email_smtp.get(), self.display_email_port.get()) server.ehlo() server.login(self.display_email_login.get(), self.display_email_passwd.get()) with open(test) as fp: msg = EmailMessage() msg.set_content(fp.read()) msg["Subject"] = "Test" msg["From"] = self.display_email_from.get() msg["To"] = recipients server.send_message(msg) server.close() except Exception as ex: if "getaddrinfo" in str(ex): messagebox.showerror("Something Went Wrong", "Check your settings or your internet connection before continuing.") if "A connection attempt failed" in str(ex): messagebox.showerror("something Went Wrong", f"Check your settings.\n\nError Returned: \n{ex}") print(ex) t2=time.perf_counter() print(t1 - t2) def check_email(self): self.check_email_backend() # with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor: # g1 = executor.submit(self.check_email_waitbox) # g2 = executor.submit(self.check_email_backend) if __name__ == "__main__": root = tk.Tk() MainApplication(root) root.mainloop()Note: I know what I have won't work. I'm just not really sure how to proceed from here. |
