The Kickstarter campaign for my latest book has been going quite well, so I thought it would be fun to share some sample chapters of the book with you. You can check out the first couple of chapters here as a PDF. I have also been doing some experiments with regards to some of the ideas that were given about other chapters for the book for the stretch goals of the Kickstarter. I haven’t made any concrete decisions as of yet, but I do think that interacting with the NASA website’s API sounds fun and appears easy to do as well. I will research the feasibility of the other ideas too. Thanks so much for your support!

It seems like there are lots of people reading this video editing project and share this project with their friends which has really encouraged me to continue developing this project. There are a few of you that ask me to include a few new features into this application and I will do that but for now, do allow me to tidy up the user interface for this project first before we proceed further. In this chapter, we will create the input box which will receive the time duration input which then will be used to extract an animated image from a video. The user will enter the starting time where he wants the program to start recording the animated image and the total second he wants the animated image to play from that starting time. Besides that, I have also included a counter which will be used to name the new video or the animated image file. If you have entered a valid digit inside the time input box under the animated image part of the application then only the animated image with the selected size will be created. Otherwise the new video will be created as usual. Below is the entire program. from tkinter import * from tkinter import filedialog import os import subprocess import tkinter.ttk as tk win = Tk() # Create tk instance win.title("NeW Vid") # Add a title win.resizable(0, 0) # Disable resizing the GUI win.configure(background='white') # change background color mainframe = Frame(win) # create a frame mainframe.pack() eqFrame = Frame(win) # create eq frame eqFrame.pack(side = TOP, fill=X) animatedFrame = Frame(win) # create animated frame animatedFrame.pack(side = TOP, fill=X) buttonFrame = Frame(win) # create a button frame buttonFrame.pack(side = BOTTOM, fill=X, pady = 6) # Create a label and scale box for eq contrast_variable = DoubleVar() contrast = Scale(eqFrame, from_=float(-2.00), to=float(2.00), orient=HORIZONTAL, label="CONTRAST", digits=3, resolution=0.01, variable=contrast_variable) contrast.set(1) contrast.pack(side = LEFT) brightness_variable = DoubleVar() brightness = Scale(eqFrame, from_=float(-1.00), to=float(1.00), orient=HORIZONTAL, label="BRIGHTNESS", digits=3, resolution=0.01, variable=brightness_variable) brightness.pack(side = LEFT) saturation_variable = DoubleVar() saturation = Scale(eqFrame, from_=float(0.00), to=float(3.00), orient=HORIZONTAL, label="SATURATION", digits=3, resolution=0.01, variable=saturation_variable) saturation.set(1) saturation.pack(side = LEFT) gamma_variable = DoubleVar() gamma = Scale(eqFrame, from_=float(0.10), to=float(10.00), orient=HORIZONTAL, label="GAMMA", digits=4, resolution=0.01, variable=gamma_variable) gamma.set(1) gamma.pack(side = LEFT) loop_variable = DoubleVar() loop = Scale(eqFrame, from_=float(0), to=float(10), orient=HORIZONTAL, label="REPEAT", digits=2, resolution=1, variable=loop_variable) loop.pack(side = LEFT) fr_variable = DoubleVar() fr = Scale(eqFrame, from_=float(9), to=float(60), orient=HORIZONTAL, label="FPS", digits=2, resolution=1, variable=fr_variable) fr.set(24) fr.pack(side = LEFT) #create animated gif anime = Label(animatedFrame, text="Create Animated Image from Video ") anime.pack(side = TOP) anime.pack(side = LEFT) from_ = Label(animatedFrame, text="Start From (hour : minute : second) ") from_.pack(side = BOTTOM) from_.pack(side = LEFT) from_t_h_varable = StringVar() from_t_h = Entry(animatedFrame, width=3, textvariable=from_t_h_varable) from_t_h.pack(side=BOTTOM) from_t_h.pack(side=LEFT) from_m = Label(animatedFrame, text=" : ") from_m.pack(side = BOTTOM) from_m.pack(side = LEFT) from_t_m_varable = StringVar() from_t_m = Entry(animatedFrame, width=3,textvariable=from_t_m_varable) from_t_m.pack(side=BOTTOM) from_t_m.pack(side=LEFT) from_s = Label(animatedFrame, text=" : ") from_s.pack(side = BOTTOM) from_s.pack(side = LEFT) from_t_s_varable = StringVar() from_t_s = Entry(animatedFrame, width=3,textvariable=from_t_s_varable) from_t_s.pack(side=BOTTOM) from_t_s.pack(side=LEFT) to_ = Label(animatedFrame, text=" To (in second) ") to_.pack(side = BOTTOM) to_.pack(side = LEFT) #to_t_h_varable = StringVar() #to_t_h = Entry(animatedFrame, width=3,textvariable=to_t_h_varable) #to_t_h.pack(side=BOTTOM) #to_t_h.pack(side=LEFT) #to_m = Label(animatedFrame, text=" : ") #to_m.pack(side = BOTTOM) #to_m.pack(side = LEFT) #to_t_m_varable = StringVar() #to_t_m = Entry(animatedFrame, width=3,textvariable=to_t_m_varable) #to_t_m.pack(side=BOTTOM) #to_t_m.pack(side=LEFT) #to_s = Label(animatedFrame, text=" : ") #to_s.pack(side = BOTTOM) #to_s.pack(side = LEFT) to_t_s_varable = StringVar() to_t_s = Entry(animatedFrame, width=3,textvariable=to_t_s_varable) to_t_s.pack(side=BOTTOM) to_t_s.pack(side=LEFT) # Create a combo box vid_size = StringVar() # create a string variable preferSize = tk.Combobox(mainframe, textvariable=vid_size) preferSize['values'] = (1920, 1280, 854, 640) # video width in pixels preferSize.current(0) # select item one preferSize.pack(side = LEFT) # Create a combo box vid_format = StringVar() # create a string variable preferFormat = tk.Combobox(mainframe, textvariable=vid_format) preferFormat['values'] = ('.mp4', '.webm', '.avi', '.wmv', '.mpg', '.ogv') # video format preferFormat.current(0) # select item one preferFormat.pack(side = LEFT) removeAudioVal = IntVar() removeAudio = tk.Checkbutton(mainframe, text="Remove Audio", variable=removeAudioVal) removeAudio.pack(side = LEFT, padx=3) newAudio = IntVar() aNewAudio = tk.Checkbutton(mainframe, text="New Audio", variable=newAudio) aNewAudio.pack(side = LEFT, padx=2) count = 0 # counter uses to create multiple videos # Open a video file def openVideo(): fullfilename = filedialog.askopenfilename(initialdir="/", title="Select a file", filetypes=[("Video file", "*.mp4;

- By Vasudev Ram - Online Python training / SQL training / Linux training$ foo bar | bazHi, readers,A couple of days ago, I wrote this post for computing factorials using the reduce and operator.mul functions:Factorial function using Python's reduce functionA bit later I realized that it can be made into a Python one-liner. Here is the one-liner - it works in both Python 2 and Python 3:$ py -2 -c "from __future__ import print_function; from functools import reduce; from operator import mul; print(list(reduce(mul, range(1, fact_num + 1)) for fact_num in range(1, 11)))"[1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880, 3628800]$ py -3 -c "from __future__ import print_function; from functools import reduce; from operator import mul; print(list(reduce(mul, range(1, fact_num + 1)) for fact_num in range(1, 11)))"[1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880, 3628800](I've split the commands above across multiple lines to avoid truncation while viewing, but if trying them out, enter each of the above commands on a single line.)A small but interesting point is that one of the imports is not needed in Python 2, and the other is not needed in Python 3:- importing print_function is not needed in Py 3, because in 3, print is a function, not a statement - but it is not an error to import it, for compatibility with Py 2 code - where it actually needs to be imported for compatibility with Py 3 code (for using print as a function), ha ha.- importing reduce is not needed in Py 2, because in 2, reduce is both a built-in and also available in the functools module - and hence it is not an error to import it.Because of the above two points, the same one-liner works in both Py 2 and Py 3.Can you think of a similar Python one-liner that gives the same output as the above (and for both Py 2 and 3), but can work without one of the imports above (but by removing the same import for both Py 2 and 3)? If so, type it in a comment on the post.py is The Python launcher for Windows.Enjoy.- Vasudev Ram - Online Python training and consultingI conduct online courses on Python programming, Unix / Linux commands and shell scripting and SQL programming and database design, with course material and personal coaching sessions.The course details and testimonials are here.Contact me for details of course content, terms and schedule.Getting a new web site or blog, and want to help preserve the environment at the same time?
