new to GUI creation with python, I have the following code, how can I make the print command appear on the GUI not the command line? I’m wanting to show the print in the GUI as a text box or some kind of output window so the process can be shown.
import mechanicalsoup
def validateLogin(username, password): #source: https://pythonexamples.org/python- tkinter-login-form/
URL3 = 'mysite'
headers = {
'referer': URL3 + '/',
'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.105 Safari/537.36',
}
#print("username entered :", username.get())
#print("password entered :", password.get())
browser.open(URL3, headers=headers) browser.select_form()
browser.form.set("username", username.get())
browser.form.set("password", password.get())
response = browser.submit_selected()
print(response.text)
return
#window
tkWindow = Tk()
tkWindow.geometry('400x150')
tkWindow.title('Tkinter Login Form - pythonexamples.org')
#username label and text entry box
usernameLabel = Label(tkWindow, text="User Name").grid(row=0, column=0)
username = StringVar()
usernameEntry = Entry(tkWindow, textvariable=username).grid(row=0, column=1)
#password label and password entry box
passwordLabel = Label(tkWindow,text="Password").grid(row=1, column=0)
password = StringVar()
passwordEntry = Entry(tkWindow, textvariable=password, show='*').grid(row=1, column=1)
validateLogin = partial(validateLogin, username, password)
#login button
loginButton = Button(tkWindow, text="Login", command=validateLogin).grid(row=4, column=0)
tkWindow.mainloop()

Answer
You can add a label for output underneath loginButton:
output = StringVar() outputLabel = Label(tkWindow, textvariable = output).grid(row = 5, column = 0)
Then replace print(response.text) with output.set(reponse.text) to change the text in your label.
Edit for ScrolledText
Add from tkinter import scrolledtext to the top.
Remove output = StringVar() and replace outputLabel = ... with
outputText = scrolledtext.ScrolledText(tkWindow) outputText.grid(row = 5, column = 0, columnspan = 2)
Then, in validateLogin, replace output.set(...) with
outputText.delete(1.0, "end") #Delete whatever is currently there outputText.insert(1.0, response.text) #Insert the response
