I'm writing a (hopefully) short python script. Part of the functionality I need is 'show a grid over the screen when the user presses the set shortcut'. I'd like the grid to look like this:
(Image from this github repo)
I'm struggling to make myself clear to Google. What would be a good choice for a python library that flashed up a grid? (I don't need to be able to click while the grid is up) Ideally without changing the active window... I definately need OSX, and linux would be a nice bonus.

So I am trying to make a python script that when I do a certain hotkey combination, It shows a text box as an overlay like what "Geforce Experience" and "Windows Gamebar" do.
the problem is that in the game when I interact with the text-area loses focus and goes minimized as opposed to the 2 programs I spoke about before, for example windows game bar allows you interact with a lot of options while the game is still on foreground and you close the bar you are left with whatever you were with before...
I'm using tkinter for now, and if there are solution not including tkinter it is Ok as long as it achives the goal.
As far as I understand what you are trying to do is create a overlay for a game and the overlay should be created using tkinter object. Here is a library that can do that, however as far as I remember you needed to change something in it's python file, however this might have already been fixed.
I am working on the following project and I am having really difficulties in finding the right way of doing that. I would like to build in Python (but I am open to other possibilities) a very basic interface that allows the user to draw with the mouse (or the pen if used on a surface laptop) something and then save the image. Ideally I would like this to work on a website or at least in a jupyter notebook (at least I imagine this to be utterly difficult).
Anyone can point me in the right direction? The goal would be to use the images as input to a neural network model to demonstrate its result with real life examples.
I am looking at tk but I don't seem to find much in terms of examples.
Thanks in advance, Umberto
I'd take a look at pyautogui to capture the mouse location then "draw" it in matplotlib -- should be able to do this in a loop. You'll want to watch the tkinter window size to sync the mouse coordinates with the relative location.
Why not just have your script open create a new blank img and automatically open it with paint - then read it on close? Seems easier than creating a drawing GUI.
Have a look at my Github repository which have exactly what you need.

Depending on the complexity you could either use tkinter which is a package for complex GUIs or something from the gaming community like pygames. You have user input and graphical output so libraries made for games will do what you want but provide way more stuff then you need. This site might help you: Drawing Libarys

I am learning to use vim as an IDE for Python and followed this tutorial to setup my .vimrc file. My setup is working fine.
Here, vim shows me the help for np.random.randint, but I could not figure out how to scroll through the displayed help and read about the other parameters. This feature is introduced by YouCompleMe (as far as I understand), so possible solution might be to change some configuration for it.
Since, I am new to this, I am not even sure what this feature is called (auto complete does not seem to be the right name for displaying help) and therefore was not able to find help on web-searching.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
YouCompleteMe uses the Jedi library for Python. If you want to install Jedi alongside YCM, this answer has some advice on how to do so.
In any case, the extra docstring information is opened in a preview window, so you should be able to switch to it in normal mode (ctrl-w w) and scroll like a regular Vim window.
If the buffer disappears when you exit insert mode, here's some sample solutions:
If you're okay with enabling mouse controls, add set mouse=a to your VIMRC, and then you can click between the buffers while typing and even scroll using your mouse wheel or trackpad.
Remove let g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_completion=1 from your VIMRC, since that will remove the preview window when you enter normal mode. Then, switch to the window normally.
Change the default preview height. Just be aware that this might be annoying if you have limited screen space.
I made a program in python which allows you to type commands (e.g: if you type clock, it shows you the date and time). But, I want it to be fullscreen. The problem is that my software doesnt have gui and I dont want it to so that probably means that I wont be using tkinter or pygame. Can some of you write a whole 'hello world' program in fullscreen for me? What I am aiming for is for my program to look a bit like ms-dos. Any help??? By the way, im very new to python (approximately 4 weeks).
NOTE: I have python 3.4.1
Since Vista, cmd.exe can no longer go to full-screen mode. You'll need to implement a full-screen console emulator yourself or look for another existing solution. E.g. ConEmu appears to be able to do it.
Solution
Use your Operating System services to configure parameters.
<_aMouseRightClick_>->[Properties]->[Layout]
Kindly notice, that some of the python interpreter process window parameters are given in [char]-s, while some other in [px]:
size.Width [char]-s
size.Height[char]-s
loc.X [px]
loc.Y [px]
So adjust these values so as to please your intentions.
You may set negative values for [loc.X, loc.Y] to move/hide window edges "outside" the screen left/top edges
I am beginner in wxPython, and I have two questions:
How can I put the Linux terminal in wxPython?
How do I connect the event, for example, of a combobox (or other) in Tabs (class1,class2,etc) to write text in TextControl (in class2)?
"The linux terminal" is a text console that needs to talk to a framebuffer or other display driver, so you're not going to be able to put that in a window without a whole lot of work.
But hopefully what you actually want is to just put any decent terminal in there—something you can run a shell in, ideally something that will match some TERMCAP entry so it can do things like curses, etc. You could build something like that yourself, but it's a lot of work. An easier solution is to use one of the pre-existing libraries for this, like wxTerm.
