Troubleshooting

These items may solve your problem. Please check those you've done by changing - [ ] to - [X]

• Searched main docs for your problem www.PySimpleGUI.org
• Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal. It is recommend you use the Demo Browser! Demos.PySimpleGUI.org
• None of your GUI code was generated by an AI algorithm like GPT
• If not tkinter - looked for Demo Programs for specific port
• For non tkinter - Looked at readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
• Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
• Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported Issues.PySimpleGUI.org
• Have upgraded to the latest release of PySimpleGUI on PyPI (lastest official version)
• Tried using the PySimpleGUI.py file on GitHub. Your problem may have already been fixed but not released

Detailed Description

I'm simply trying to help with your Timer example on the https://github.com/PySimpleGUI page.

When I copied the code into Visual Studio Code, saved it and ran it using the version of Python above, I got the following errors:

  File "/home/user/projects/python-gui/timer-example.py", line 46
    event = window[event).GetText()
                        ^
SyntaxError: closing parenthesis ')' does not match opening parenthesis '['

  File "/home/user/projects/python-gui/timer-example.py", line 57
    element = window['button')
                             ^
SyntaxError: closing parenthesis ')' does not match opening parenthesis '['

/home/user/projects/python-gui/timer-example.py:50: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
  if event is 'Reset':

I believe that there was an open square bracket-close parenthesis match problem as well. I fixed these for myself, but thought you should know that they're in the code on the webpage...

Watcha Makin?

Maybe the link for the wrong code is

desktop-floating-widget---timer

    if event is 'Reset':
        start_time = int(round(time.time() * 100))
        current_time = 0
        paused_time = start_time
    elif event == 'Pause':
        paused = True
        paused_time = int(round(time.time() * 100))
        element = window['button')          # <----- here
        element.update(text='Run')
    elif event == 'Run':
        paused = False
        start_time = start_time + int(round(time.time() * 100)) - paused_time
        element = window['button')          # <----- and here
        element.update(text='Pause')
