pythoncard-users Mailing List for PythonCard

And if you're using PyInstaller and PythonCard, remember that you need to
explicity import all the components. So for example:
from PythonCard.components import statictext, imagebutton, textfield,
textarea #, [and so on]
from PythonCard import graphic, timer # [and so on]
# and for our fantastic new flashwindow:
from PythonCard.components import flashwindow

There's nothing Pythoncard-specific about the audio recording task, you
simply need a GUI with a record button if I understand correctly? And
probably a countdown to let them know how much time they have left unless
they press the stop button? In the Pythoncard Resource Editor you'll simply
be placing a bitmap button on a frame. If you want that record button to
turn into a stop button while they're recording, you'll use SetBitmapLabel
if I remember correctly, to change the graphic of the button. And in the
Resource Editor, you'll add a command that is triggered when that button is
pressed. For example the command might be called RecordButton, and in your
file you'll put this line:
on_RecordButton_command(self, event):
 ...print "record was pressed"
....#(do something here)
As far as the countdown, you can either put it in the statusbar (look around
for some examples, there are lots) or I believe you could update the text on
a statictext widget.
To check the time remaining and update the countdown, you'll use a timer.
Timers are quirky and are applied to a specific widget, look for samples.
For the audio recording, I did something very similar to what you're
describing (a "confessional" at Burning Man) using this code as a starting
point:

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a GUI for audio recording to create a database of
utterances. So in principle I want it to work in a way that it presents like
100 sentences one by one to the user and for each sentence the user can
start recording by pressing say "record" and he himself will be the one to
press STOP button when he is done saying each sentences and the audio is
stored somewhere and then moves to the next sentence. Now since I'm quite
new to this package I wanted to know if anyone can show me an example
similar to my task or perhaps general guidelines. because previously i had
done some simple Gui in MATLAB but I dont see PythonCard Gui design
organized in a same way.
besides as usually in audio recording tasks (e.g. in MATLAB) i have to
specify the duration of the recording independent of the time that takes the
user to read a sentence out. So can I have such a user dependent recording
duration (controlled by two buttons mentioned above) using python card ?
Many thanks in advance
Best.
