TypeError: int() 参数必须是字符串、类似字节的 object 或数字，而不是“TextInput”

Question

I am developing a Kivy password generator. The user is required to input a number (digit) into the app for password generate depending on how many characters are intended. Then, the app will generate a random character from the randint, finally, the output will be displayed into the output entry for a copy to the click board. Following are my code:

password_generator.py

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.core.window import Window

from random  import randint


Builder.load_file('password_generator.kv')

Window.size = (350, 600)

class MainApp(App):
    title='Password Generator'
    def build(self):
        Window.clearcolor = (255/255, 255/255, 0, 1) 
        return Mylayout()  

    def password(self):
  
        self.root.ids.output_entry = ''

        pw_length = int(self.root.ids.input_entry)
       
        my_password = ''

        for x in range(pw_length):
            my_password += chr(randint(33, 126))

        self.root.ids.output_entry = my_password

  
    def clip_board(self):
        self.root.clipboard_clear()

        self.root.clipboard_append(self.root.ids.output_entry)

    def delete(self):
        self.root.ids.input_entry = ''
        self.root.ids.output_entry = ''
    
class Mylayout(Widget):    
    pass
       

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MainApp().run()

When I click Generate Strong Password button and was required to output a random password character in the output entry, however, the following error was incurred:

 TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'TextInput'

How to resolve?

Answer 1

Try changing pw_length in your password() function to:

pw_length = int(self.root.ids.input_entry.text or 0)

input_entry is a TextInput which can't be converted to an int. I think you want to convert its value ( input_entry.text ) to an int, not the widget itself. To do that, change the pw_length =... line in password() method as above.

Answer 2

When you use something like self.root.ids.some_name (or, self.ids.some_name ) you are supposed to access aweak reference of the named ( some_name ) widget from root (or, some class).

Now to get an attr. of that proxy widget you can go as usual using '.' syntax ie like self.root.ids.some_name.prop (or, self.ids.some_name.prop ).

Here, self.root.ids.output_entry is a TextInput instance. So to access any of its properties you can do something like, self.root.ids.output_entry.prop_name . With this I modified password method as,

    def password(self):
  
        self.root.ids.output_entry.text = ''
        
        input_text = self.root.ids.input_entry.text
        
        # Bellow you will handle user-input. You can use try-except or if-else or whatever that suits. I just implement a simple one.
        if input_text: # Means non-empty string.
            pw_length = int(input_text)
        else: # Raise Error or warn user via a message.
            pw_length = 0
            
       
        my_password = ''

        for x in range(pw_length):
            my_password += chr(randint(33, 126))

        self.root.ids.output_entry.text = my_password

Don't forget to apply the required changes (as described above) wherever necessary.

Answer 3

first the text field has to be limited to support only integers by adding the input_filter: "int"

TextInput:
    id: input_entry
    text: ''
    multiline: False
    font_family: 'Helvatica' 
    font_size: 24
    pos_hint: {'x': .8, 'y':4.5}
    size_hint: (2, .4)
    halign: "center"
    focus: True
    color: 'black'
    input_filter: "int"
