About

I created tRandom while a Python beginner, I was attempting to gain experience and create my first GUI application. Here it is to share for all.

Installing

A deb package is available for v0.2 with two minor know issues. This has only been tested on Ubuntu 18.04, but being a 100% Python application with only included packages imported, it should run happily all over the place.

To install elsewhere, the tRandom.py and icon.png files should be kept in the same folder, as long as you have the dependencies listed below installed, you will be able to launch the tRandom.py file directly. On Windows devices you may want to rename the py file to tRandom.pyw which will launch the program without a console window opening.

Dependencies

If installing using the deb package all dependencies should be taken care of.

• python3 (Tested on 3.8)
• python3-tk

Known Issues

• When installing with the DEB, the package will show in the Lost & Found category in your app launcher (At least on KDE Plasma).

trandom's Issues

`import tkinter as tk` instead of `from tkinter import *`

Will result in tidier code but will need significant attention to ensure all references to tkinter functions are changed correctly.

Version popup in v0.0.1 incorrect

Pop up says that the version is 'unversioned'.

Add check that interger < 1000

Add a check that the integer entered is less than 1000 to ensure that the GUI doesn't break when a large number is chosen.

Does not launch from included launcher

When installed with the .deb the launcher appears in the Lost & Found menu and does not launch. When navigating to the /usr/bin/trandom/trandom.py file the program launches with no problem.

Consider moving icon.png to /usr/lib for testing.
