Question about loops in .kv file

[aminet...@gmail.com]

Hey

thanks for Kivy, you're awesome

I am new to Kivy so this question might look like a little bit odd

I have list of objects in my python code and i want to create a button for each one in my .kv file

is there a way to loop throught them in .kv file?

something like Mako template language:

%for item in items

Thanks :)

You don't really want to do that. Kivy is really for layout, not logic. Loops should (probably) stay in Python as they are logical structures. It sounds like the best approach might be to subclass a Button, add the properties and intelligence you need. You can then just pop these into the appropriate layout defined in your kv....

If this does not work for you, perhaps try and demonstrate what you are trying to do?

this is what I was trying to accomplish in kivy, but I defined it in logic.

resp = get_lessons().json()
for l in resp['lessons']:
    self.add_widget(
        Button(text=l['title'])
    )

thanks for your reply :)

Without knowing where you are doing this, that looks fine. You could put that in a list comprehension in kv, something like:

on_enter: [self.add_widget(Button(text=l['title'])) for get_lessons().json()['lessons']]

But really, it's simpler in Python. kv is great for layouts, but you really you don't need to do everything in kv...:-)

Thanks again :)
yes you are right. logic in python and layout in kivy is the best practice
