Autocomplete using List of Colours as source


Autocomplete using Colour list as source

Tkinter autocomplete to browse and select colour names and update the background color of widget

List of colour names

Here is the list of colour names with RGB values. By using Pandas we will create DataFrame by reading the excel file. From the Name column of the DataFrame we will create the list and use the same as Data source for our Autocomplete.
import pandas as pd 
df=pd.read_excel("D:\\my_data\\tk-colours.xlsx") # Path of the file. 
my_list=df['Name'].values.tolist() 
Read the tutorial on Autocomplete.
Here we are only replacing the Source of data by using above defined my_list.
import pandas as pd 
df=pd.read_excel("D:\\my_data\\tk-colours.xlsx") # Path of the file. 
my_list=df['Name'].values.tolist() # list as data source  
# data source is ready ## Start the Tkinter code
