Help with building an app at early stages

[craigmrock]

Hi,
I’m looking to get my pythonista code into app mode, and I’m looking for some advice from others. I created the UI folder so I have a UI file and a Python file. The only tutorials I can find are for different types of games.
I need to figure out how to incorporate my code into the UI layout. Thoughts?
This is my code, the console says I haven’t defined myInterface, so I need help with that.

import ui
import time
from random import choice

def intro():
	print("The Guitar Oracle is listening.")
	time.sleep(2)
	
def key (myInterface):
	viewSelector = myInterface.superview
	textFromTextBox = viewSelector['textview1'].text
	keys = ['C','F','Bb','Eb','Ab','Db','Gb', 'Cb','G','D','A','E','B','F#','C#']
	key = input("Choose your key: ").capitalize()
	if (key == 'C'):
		print('You chose C, excellent')
		ask=input('Major or Minor?: ').lower()
		if (ask=='major'):
			cmajor = ['C Ionian: C – D – E – F – G – A – B','C Lydian: C - D - E - F# - G - A - B','C Mixolydian: C - D - E - F - G - A - Bb', 'C Maj Pentatonic: C - D - E - G - A']
			levels= input('Choose your level (1, 2, or 3): ')
			validLevel = range(1,4) #provides range for acceptable levels 1, 2, or 3
			if (levels.isnumeric()):
				levels = int(levels)
			if (levels == 1):
				question = choice(cmajor)
				print(question)
			elif (levels == 2):
				question = choice(cmajor),choice(cmajor)
				print(question)
			elif (levels == 3):
				question = choice(cmajor),choice(cmajor),choice(cmajor)
				print(question)
			if (ask=='minor'):
				cminor = ['C Dorian: C - D - Eb - F - G - A - Bb','C Phrygian: C - Db - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb', 'C Aeolian: C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb','C Locrian: C - Db - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb', 'C Harmonic Minor: C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - B','C Melodic Minor: C - D - Eb - F - G - A - B','C Min Pentatonic: C - Eb - F - G - Bb']
				levels= input('Choose your level (1, 2, or 3): ')
				validLevel = range(1,4) #provides range for acceptable levels 1, 2, or 3
				if (levels.isnumeric()):
					levels = int(levels)
				if (levels == 1):
					question = choice(cminor)
					print(question)
				elif (levels == 2):
					question = choice(cminor),choice(cminor)
					print(question)
				elif (levels == 3):
					question = choice(cminor),choice(cminor),choice(cminor)
					print(question)
if __name__ == "__main__":
	intro()
	practicing = True
	while practicing: #prompts the user to keep playing
		key(myInterface)
		viewSelector = myInterface.superview
		textFromTextBox = viewSelector['textview1'].text
		time.sleep(2)
		keepPracticing = input('Do you want to keep practicing (yes or no)? ')
		validUser = ['yes', 'y','sure','ok','k','okay'] #acceptable answers for keepPracticing
		if (keepPracticing not in validUser): practicing = False #terminates program/loop
		print('Goodbye')
v = ui.load_view()
v.present('sheet')

@craigmrock to be able to help you, we also need your .pyui file

[mikael]

@craigmrock, are your files named the same (myInterface.py and myInterface.pyui) and in the same directory?

[craigmrock]

@cvp I’m not sure how to show that here, I don’t see adding a picture/screenshot option and my UI file only shows the grid layout. I thought I had accessed a code version before, but every button I press in the menu seems to take me everywhere but where the code is (using my iPhone, not a tablet).

[craigmrock]

@mikael they aren’t named myInterface, but they are both named the same thing, GOapp.py and GOapp.pyui in the same folder

[cvp]

@craigmrock it is always possible to rename temporarily your .pyui file as .txt, then edit it, select all, copy and paste here, like you did for your .py file
