A tkinter GUI collating various data

Dashboard

Scripts

• Dashboard.py - Main Dashboard script that draws the form and inserts text/images.
• xplane.py - Web scrapes data from threshold.net
• hddspace.py - Uses the module psutil to grab hard drive capacities
• news.py - Calls newsapi.org and grabs the latest BBC headlines
• piholeget.py - Calls my Raspberry Pi on home network and gets PiHole data (web scrapes Temp and Memory usage)
• steam.py - Web scrapes steampowered.com for the latest top selling games.
• weather2.py - Calls openweathermap API and gets 7 day weather for York, UK.

Run Dashboard.py for the main program, this imports the 6 other scripts which have been seperated for easy editing.

Built With

dashboard's Issues

Unknown Error

I haven't edited any of the scripts yet however, am getting this error and I am unaware of what's causing it and how to fix it.

Congrats for getting listed in Python Weekly

Congratulations.... saw your project listed in the PythonWeekly.com email...

Your overall GUI design / layout

Hiya!
Big-time congrats on showing the Python community that tkinter can rock the GUIs if time is spent working on the design and polish.

Was there any other programs that you drew on for inspiration for your layout? I'm always on the lookout for nice layouts, like yours, so if you have run across other designs that inspired you to make this one, I would be interested in seeing those too.

remove sensitive data

Great project, well done!

While you may (or may not) be using a free account on OpenWeatherMap, its still a good idea to not commit sensitive data to your public repository.
