World Clock syntax error - OscarBoots - May-03-2024

Hi Forum,
I'm using tis code to create a World clock for 4 Countries.
I've copied the code and understand the logic, but i must have made an error as it doesn't show a frame with 4 different Countries timezones.
Can anyone see why this isn't working?
Thanks.

RE: World Clock syntax error - snippsat - May-03-2024

clock.after(200, times) you call two times,only the last one needed.
Also most call times before mainloop.

times()
root.mainloop()

Also should not use pytz anymore.

Quote:This project is in maintenance mode.
Projects using Python 3.9 or later are best served by using the timezone functionally.
now included in core Python and packages that work with it such as tzdata.

I would advise to use pendulum,it handle the Timezones the best.
Here is some improvement(your whitespace after every line is a little annoying😕) a class make more sense when use a GUI and i use pendulum.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
import pendulum

class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.title("World Clock")
        self.geometry("600x500")
        # Define the timezones you want to display
        self.timezones = {
            'Australia (Victoria)': 'Australia/Melbourne',
            'India (Kolkata)': 'Asia/Kolkata',
            'USA (New York)': 'America/New_York',
            'Coordinated Universal Time': 'UTC'
        }
        self.labels = {}
        self.create_widgets()
        self.update_clock()

    def create_widgets(self):
        for idx, (label, tz) in enumerate(self.timezones.items()):
            row = idx * 2
            # Timezone and Clock labels
            tk.Label(self, text=label, font=("times", 20, "bold")).grid(row=row, column=0, pady=10, sticky="ew")
            clock_label = tk.Label(self, font=("times", 25, "bold"), anchor="center")
            clock_label.grid(row=row + 1, column=0, pady=5, sticky="ew")
            self.labels[tz] = clock_label
            tk.Label(self, text="Hours   Minutes   Seconds", font="times 10 bold").grid(row=row + 2, column=0, sticky="ew")
        self.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

    def update_clock(self):
        for tz, label in self.labels.items():
            local_time = pendulum.now(tz)
            current_time = local_time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
            label.config(text=current_time)
        # Schedule the next update
        self.after(1000, self.update_clock)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = App()
    app.mainloop()
