I've finished my youtube dl gui, now I'm moving onto zsync-curl gui.

!! IF YOU INSTALLED THE DEB FILE, PLEASE RUN THIS COMMAND: sudo rm -Rf /.git !!
There is a huge bug where it will Include .git in the package and install it as /.git. REMOVE THAT DIRECTORY IMMEDIATELY; it might interfere with your git repos.
/.git
Hoo boy, old man trouble hiding behind a tree and surprising you where you least suspect him.

Actually surprised you used python and tkinter there.
I find tkinter gobsmacking ugly compared to other GUI elements. 
It is easy to code, especially if you use "easygui" that's for sure.
You should give Qt (and Qtdesigner) a go, it has some surprisingly nice stuff .... or else, why not simply GTK. It's not that hard. 
A post was merged into an existing topic: Making tkinter look ok
easygui_qt isn't finished, not really usable yet....it looks promising though. 
Qtcreator gives enormous control over the widget you're developping, it's nice.
The link I put into the former reply isn't really good. This one is nicer. 
Of course tkinter has a big pro in that it often comes bundled with Python albeit that especially Apple requires a specific extra download. 
If the OS (like Elive) uses 2.7 by default: Yes.
I'm getting used to python3 lately so I've set it to default python on my box.
Which does mean it'll hamper some older python stuff. 
Sometimes I feel like changes are ALWAYS being held up by laziness.
BTW
Did you ever try mu-editor?
It's over-simplified but has a nice and easy way to simply test or try out python3 scripts.
4 posts were split to a new topic: Error while building package with debuild
Ok nice, but still needs some vanishing 
.
test install on bare metal:

ok, .deb file works oob so far;
the sw itself could not initiate the next action with "Add loading music?" tickled,
but untickled. Alas Icould not find any downloaded file and the window does not show any progres, but it was working (somewhere..), look:
Huh?
What's the terminal output in there? Something's screwy. There's supposed to be an Xterm window showing progress (I had to have a bunch of arguments so I couldnt use elive-tools) and that's a lot of whitespace. Also, the loading music is supposed to work 
yes, I know that the text goes offscreen; I'll fix it next version done
You two are killing me.

Please don't die, Elive needs you 
Wait, I just realized, since we're killing you:
- TheTechRobo is a robot, so robots ARE taking over the world
- And Rebel450 is a rebel [to Elive]

Actually, I need me the most. LOL.
Actually Antares is a red giant (aka dying sun) that is the closest to us on earth and tri=triple. So who in their right mind would want to try killing 3 red giants?
Reality is more mundane:
I own 2 ships called "Triade" and "Antares" (where "Triade" means 3 as 1 to commemorate our first born). So I just concatenated the 2.

Been able to reproduce this or should I close the issue as invalid? 
This is what it's supposed to look like. Apologies for long video.
makefile good, debfile works
you will have to change the paths for compiling. variables weren't working, it was interpreting $HOME/youtube-dl-gui-1.3 as the variable H, then OME/youtube-dl-gui-1.3
sure ain't pretty but it works
Closed the issue as invalid, will reopen if you can reproduce it.
Just trying to keep stuff organised.
