Widgets are arranged in a hierarchy. The label and button were contained within a frame, which in turn was contained within the root window.

When creating each child widget, its parent widget is passed as the first argument to the widget constructor. Widgets have configuration options , which modify their appearance and behavior, such as the text to display in a label or button.

Different classes of widgets will have different sets of options. A geometry manager like grid controls where in the user interface they are placed. Tkinter reacts to user input, changes from your program, and even refreshes the display only when actively running an event loop.

Without getting into too many details, notice the following:. The commands used to create widgets like ttk::frame correspond to widget classes in Tkinter. Tcl widget options like -text correspond to keyword arguments in Tkinter.

Widgets are referred to by a pathname in Tcl like. dot as a path separator. The pathname for the root window is just. In Tkinter, the hierarchy is defined not by pathname but by specifying the parent widget when creating each child widget. Operations which are implemented as separate commands in Tcl like grid or destroy are represented as methods on Tkinter widget objects.

Introspection, either in an interactive Python shell or with print , can help you identify what you need. To find out what configuration options are available on any widget, call its configure method, which returns a dictionary containing a variety of information about each object, including its default and current values.

Use keys to get just the names of each option. As most widgets have many configuration options in common, it can be useful to find out which are specific to a particular widget class. Comparing the list of options to that of a simpler widget, like a frame, is one way to do that.

Similarly, you can find the available methods for a widget object using the standard dir function. As noted, the official Tk commands reference manual man pages is often the most accurate description of what specific operations on widgets do. Even when you know the name of the option or method that you need, you may still have a few places to look.

Examples are methods for accessing the clipboard or the system bell. They happen to be implemented as methods in the base Widget class that all Tkinter widgets inherit from. If you use threads, you may need to be aware of this. A Python interpreter may have many threads associated with it. In Tcl, multiple threads can be created, but each thread has a separate Tcl interpreter instance associated with it. Threads can also create more than one interpreter instance, though each interpreter instance can be used only by the one thread that created it.

Each Tk object created by tkinter contains a Tcl interpreter. It also keeps track of which thread created that interpreter. Calls to tkinter can be made from any Python thread. mainloop and responds to events. Because it is single-threaded, event handlers must respond quickly, otherwise they will block other events from being processed. To avoid this, any long-running computations should not run in an event handler, but are either broken into smaller pieces using timers, or run in another thread.

This is different from many GUI toolkits where the GUI runs in a completely separate thread from all application code including event handlers. If the Tcl interpreter is not running the event loop and processing events, any tkinter calls made from threads other than the one running the Tcl interpreter will fail. In this case, tkinter calls the library from the originating Python thread, even if this is different than the thread that created the Tcl interpreter.

A global lock ensures only one call occurs at a time. While tkinter allows you to create more than one instance of a Tk object with its own interpreter , all interpreters that are part of the same thread share a common event queue, which gets ugly fast. Blocking event handlers are not the only way to prevent the Tcl interpreter from reentering the event loop. It is even possible to run multiple nested event loops or abandon the event loop entirely. There are a few select tkinter functions that presently work only when called from the thread that created the Tcl interpreter.

Options control things like the color and border width of a widget. Options can be set in three ways:. For a complete explanation of a given option and its behavior, see the Tk man pages for the widget in question. The former is a list of options that are common to many widgets, the latter are the options that are idiosyncratic to that particular widget. The Standard Options are documented on the options 3 man page.

No distinction between standard and widget-specific options is made in this document. Whether a given widget responds to a particular option depends on the class of the widget; buttons have a command option, labels do not. The return value of these calls is a dictionary whose key is the name of the option as a string for example, 'relief' and whose values are 5-tuples.

Passing the config method the name of a shorthand option will return a 2-tuple, not 5-tuple. Of course, the dictionary printed will include all the options available and their values. This is meant only as an example. Geometry managers are used to specify the relative positioning of widgets within their container - their mutual master. In contrast to the more cumbersome placer which is used less commonly, and we do not cover here , the packer takes qualitative relationship specification - above , to the left of , filling , etc - and works everything out to determine the exact placement coordinates for you.

The packer is used to control where slave widgets appear inside the master into which they are packed. You can pack widgets into frames, and frames into other frames, in order to achieve the kind of layout you desire. Additionally, the arrangement is dynamically adjusted to accommodate incremental changes to the configuration, once it is packed. Note that widgets do not appear until they have had their geometry specified with a geometry manager. Here are some examples:. Boolean, 0 or 1.

Legal values: 'x' , 'y' , 'both' , 'none'. Legal values are: 'left' , 'right' , 'top' , 'bottom'. The current-value setting of some widgets like text entry widgets can be connected directly to application variables by using special options.

These options are variable , textvariable , onvalue , offvalue , and value. Unfortunately, in the current implementation of tkinter it is not possible to hand over an arbitrary Python variable to a widget through a variable or textvariable option.

The only kinds of variables for which this works are variables that are subclassed from a class called Variable, defined in tkinter.

There are many useful subclasses of Variable already defined: StringVar , IntVar , DoubleVar , and BooleanVar. To read the current value of such a variable, call the get method on it, and to change its value you call the set method.

If you follow this protocol, the widget will always track the value of the variable, with no further intervention on your part. In Tk, there is a utility command, wm , for interacting with the window manager. Options to the wm command allow you to control things like titles, placement, icon bitmaps, and the like. In tkinter , these commands have been implemented as methods on the Wm class. Toplevel widgets are subclassed from the Wm class, and so can call the Wm methods directly.

This method begins with an underscore to denote the fact that this function is part of the implementation, and not an interface to Tk functionality.

Legal values are points of the compass: "n" , "ne" , "e" , "se" , "s" , "sw" , "w" , "nw" , and also "center". There are eight built-in, named bitmaps: 'error' , 'gray25' , 'gray50' , 'hourglass' , 'info' , 'questhead' , 'question' , 'warning'. You can pass integers 0 or 1 or the strings "yes" or "no". Colors can be given as the names of X colors in the rgb. The standard X cursor names from cursorfont.

You can also specify a bitmap and mask file of your own. Screen distances can be specified in either pixels or absolute distances. For example, 3. Tk uses a list font name format, such as {courier 10 bold}. Font sizes with positive numbers are measured in points; sizes with negative numbers are measured in pixels. This is a string of the form widthxheight , where width and height are measured in pixels for most widgets in characters for widgets displaying text.

Legal values are the strings: "left" , "center" , "right" , and "fill". This is a string with four space-delimited elements, each of which is a legal distance see above.

For example: "2 3 4 5" and "3i 2i 4. Determines what the border style of a widget will be. Legal values are: "raised" , "sunken" , "flat" , "groove" , and "ridge". This is almost always the set method of some scrollbar widget, but can be any widget method that takes a single argument. Must be one of: "none" , "char" , or "word".

The bind method from the widget command allows you to watch for certain events and to have a callback function trigger when that event type occurs. The form of the bind method is:. is a string that denotes the target kind of event. is a Python function, taking one argument, to be invoked when the event occurs. An Event instance will be passed as the argument.

Functions deployed this way are commonly known as callbacks. Passing an empty string denotes that this binding is to replace any other bindings that this event is associated with.

This field contains the widget that caught the X event. The following table lists the other event fields you can access, and how they are denoted in Tk, which can be useful when referring to the Tk man pages.

These are used to point at a specific place in a Text widget, or to particular characters in an Entry widget, or to particular menu items in a Menu widget. Entry widgets have options that refer to character positions in the text being displayed. You can use these tkinter functions to access these special points in text widgets:. Some options and methods for menus manipulate specific menu entries.

Anytime a menu index is needed for an option or a parameter, you may pass in:. an integer which refers to the numeric position of the entry in the widget, counted from the top, starting with 0;.

the string "active" , which refers to the menu position that is currently under the cursor;. the string "last" which refers to the last menu item;. the string "none" , which indicates no menu entry at all, most often used with menu. activate to deactivate all entries, and finally,. a text string that is pattern matched against the label of the menu entry, as scanned from the top of the menu to the bottom.

Note that this index type is considered after all the others, which means that matches for menu items labelled last , active , or none may be interpreted as the above literals, instead. Images of different formats can be created through the corresponding subclass of tkinter. Image :. BitmapImage for images in XBM format. PhotoImage for images in PGM, PPM, GIF and PNG formats. The latter is supported starting with Tk 8. Either type of image is created through either the file or the data option other options are available as well.

The image object can then be used wherever an image option is supported by some widget e. labels, buttons, menus. In these cases, Tk will not keep a reference to the image. When the last Python reference to the image object is deleted, the image data is deleted as well, and Tk will display an empty box wherever the image was used.

The Pillow package adds support for formats such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, and WebP, among others. Only one handler may be registered per file descriptor. Example code:.

I've been testing out Selenium with Chromedriver and I noticed that some pages can detect that you're using Selenium even though there's no automation at all. Even when I'm just browsing manually just using Chrome through Selenium and Xephyr I often get a page saying that suspicious activity was detected.

I've checked my user agent, and my browser fingerprint, and they are all exactly identical to the normal Chrome browser. When I browse to these sites in normal Chrome everything works fine, but the moment I use Selenium I'm detected. In theory, chromedriver and Chrome should look literally exactly the same to any web server, but somehow they can detect it. If you browse around stubhub you'll get redirected and 'blocked' within one or two requests.

I've been investigating this and I can't figure out how they can tell that a user is using Selenium. I installed the Selenium IDE plugin in Firefox and I got banned when I went to stubhub. com in the normal Firefox browser with only the additional plugin. When I use Fiddler to view the HTTP requests being sent back and forth I've noticed that the 'fake browser's' requests often have 'no-cache' in the response header.

Results like this Is there a way to detect that I'm in a Selenium Webdriver page from JavaScript? suggest that there should be no way to detect when you are using a webdriver. But this evidence suggests otherwise. The site uploads a fingerprint to their servers, but I checked and the fingerprint of Selenium is identical to the fingerprint when using Chrome. VPNs work for a single use, but they get detected after I load the first page.

Clearly some JavaScript code is being run to detect Selenium. Basically, the way the Selenium detection works, is that they test for predefined JavaScript variables which appear when running with Selenium. Of course, all of this depends on which browser you are on.

All the different browsers expose different things. According to user szx , it is also possible to simply open chromedriver. exe in a hex editor, and just do the replacement manually, without actually doing any compiling. See the answer by Erti-Chris Eelmaa to learn more about that string and how it's a detection point. Make sure to make a copy of the original chromedriver before attempting to edit it. Credit to Vic Seedoubleyew :.

Make sure that the replacement string e. Go to the altered chromedriver and double click on it. A terminal window should open up. If you don't see killed in the output, you've successfully altered the driver. Make sure that the name of the altered chromedriver binary is chromedriver , and that the original binary is either moved from its original location or renamed.

Like others have said though, if you've already been detected, you might get blocked for a plethora of other reasons even after using this method. So you may have to try accessing the site that was detecting you using a VPN, different network, etc. As we've already figured out in the question and the posted answers, there is an anti Web-scraping and a bot detection service called "Distil Networks" in play here. And, according to the company CEO's interview :.

Once we see a pattern emerge from one type of bot, then we work to reverse engineer the technology they use and identify it as malicious.

It'll take time and additional challenges to understand how exactly they are detecting Selenium, but what can we say for sure at the moment:. Also, I haven't experimented with older Selenium and older browser versions.

It's just a theory that needs to be tested. A lot have been analyzed and discussed about a website being detected being driven by Selenium controlled ChromeDriver. Here are my two cents:. According to the article Browser detection using the user agent serving different webpages or services to different browsers is usually not among the best of ideas.

The web is meant to be accessible to everyone, regardless of which browser or device an user is using. There are best practices outlined to develop a website to progressively enhance itself based on the feature availability rather than by targeting specific browsers.

However, browsers and standards are not perfect, and there are still some edge cases where some websites still detects the browser and if the browser is driven by Selenium controled WebDriver. Browsers can be detected through different ways and some commonly used mechanisms are as follows:.

You can find a relevant detailed discussion in Access Denied page with headless Chrome on Linux while headed Chrome works on windows using Selenium through Python. You can find a relevant detailed discussion in Unable to use Selenium to automate Chase site login. However, using the user-agent to detect the browser looks simple but doing it well is in fact a bit tougher.

Note : At this point it's worth to mention that: it's very rarely a good idea to use user agent sniffing. There are always better and more broadly compatible way to address a certain issue. You can find a relevant detailed discussion in Way to change Google Chrome user agent in Selenium?

Rotating the UserAgent in each of your Tests using Network. You can find a relevant detailed discussion in How to change the User Agent using Selenium and Python. Changing the property value of navigator for webdriver to undefined as follows:. You can find a relevant detailed discussion in Selenium webdriver: Modifying navigator.

webdriver flag to prevent selenium detection. You can find a relevant detailed discussion in Is there a version of selenium webdriver that is not detectable? I have checked the chromedriver source code. That injects some JavaScript files into the browser. So I used reverse engineering and obfuscated the JavaScript files by hex editing. Now I was sure that no more JavaScript variables, function names and fixed strings were used to uncover selenium activity. I discovered there are some parameters in 'navigator' that briefly uncover using of chromedriver.

So what I needed was a chrome extension to run JavaScript on the web pages. I made an extension with the JavaScript code provided in the article and used another article to add the zipped extension to my project.

I have successfully changed the values; but still nothing changed! I didn't find other variables like these, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist.

The next step should be reverse engineering of the detector services that I don't want to do. Now I'm not sure if is it worth it to spend more time on this automation process or search for alternative methods! With the availability of Selenium Stealth evading the detection of Selenium driven ChromeDriver initiated google-chrome Browsing Context have become much more easier.

selenium-stealth is a Python package to prevent detection. This programme tries to make python selenium more stealthy. However, as of now selenium-stealth only support Selenium Chrome. selenium4 compatible code. Try to use Selenium with a specific user profile of Chrome. That way you can use it as specific user and define anything you want.

When doing so, it will run as a 'real' user. Look at the Chrome process with some process explorer and you'll see the difference with the tags. Google Chrome tag list here. The webdriver IDL attribute of the Navigator interface must return the value of the webdriver-active flag, which is initially false.

This property allows websites to determine that the user agent is under control by WebDriver, and can be used to help mitigate denial-of-service attacks.

Taken directly from the W3C Editor's Draft of WebDriver. This heavily implies that at the very least, future iterations of Selenium's drivers will be identifiable to prevent misuse. Ultimately, it's hard to tell without the source code, what exactly causes chrome driver in specific to be detectable. Some more information to this: This relates to website skyscanner.

In the past I have been able to scrape it. I tried some of the most popular suggestions to avoid automation being detected, but they didn't work. Then I found this article which did work, and by process of elimination I found out it only took the option above to get around their browser automation detection.

Firefox is said to set window. That was according to one of the older specs e. org but I couldn't find it in the new one except for some very vague wording in the appendices. js where the comment at the end says "Currently only implemented in firefox" but I wasn't able to identify any code in that direction with some simple grep ing, neither in the current I also found a comment for an older commit regarding fingerprinting in the firefox driver b from January js with a comment linking to the slightly differently worded appendix in the current w3c webdriver spec.

Additionally to the great answer of Erti-Chris Eelmaa - there's annoying window. webdriver and it is read-only. Even if you change the value of it to false , it will still have true. That's why the browser driven by automated software can still be detected.

The variable is managed by the flag --enable-automation in chrome.

Internally, Tk and Ttk use facilities of the underlying operating system, i. The link opens normally, as it should. ISBN The channels previously set by -channel of the combined image are taken from the grayscale values of each image in the sequence, in order. To extract a profile, the -profile option is not used. Note that this a color reduction option. I'm not trying to bypass anything, I was just interested in knowing how these websites detect a user using selenium.
