[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**

Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.
[end sys1]


Q:

Python - Initialzing tkinter inside class,and what happens when need another gui in another class?

I'm trying to create a 'read from  csv file' class. This class should read a csv file and return result as a list.So far- quite simple even for a newbie as me.
BUT- I need something a bit more complexed:
1) If filename is not given ( as an argument to class) - a file selection dialog box pops up to select one.
2) Optional: show file's content in a GUI, using a CSVGui class (using method self.out_in_gui).
Since ReadCSV is not GUI based class, GUI is initialized only in need to launch a askopenfilename. A use of widtdraw() is made in order not to show additinal blank GUI.
The probelm is: When I try to read a file, without spcifing one, a file selection dialog pops up, PLUS calling method self.out_in_gui to execute CSVGui class - file contents does not show in GUI (Entries left empty).
TRIES:when I specify as a parameter, the file to be loaded, everything runs OK. My guess- it has something to do with using the GUI in ReadFile to load file selection GUI.
Thanks

A:

I tried your code and it doesn't work for me because problem is master
In ReadFile you run CSVGui(self, ...) and self means ReadFile. In CSVGui you assign this ReadFile to master and use in ttk.Frame.__init__(self, master) - but master has to be any tkinter's widget, not ReadFile.
I made changes in two places
First: in ReadFile I create Tk() window and after askopenfilename I destroy it. This way if I run ReadFile() or ReadFile(filename.csv) I always will run CSVGui without master in computer memory.
   if fname == '' and path == '':
        master = tk.Tk()
        master.withdraw()
        self.filename = askopenfilename(title='Select CSV file', filetypes=[('CommaSeperatedFile', '*.csv')])
        master.destroy()

Second: CSVGui doesn't need master as second argument because I create it inside CSVGui
class CSVGui(ttk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, data=[]):
        master = tk.Tk()
        ttk.Frame.__init__(self, master)

It also need self.pack() to put class CSVGui(ttk.Frame) inside this master, and master.mainloop() to keep it open.
