Create a GUI to Extract information from VIN number Using Python
Prerequisite: Python GUI – tkinter
In this article, we are going to look at how can we use Python to extract vehicle information from its VIN number (Vehicle Identification Number). A VIN consists of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle. It is a unique code that is assigned to every motor vehicle when it is manufactured. VIN can be used to extract information about a vehicle like the country it was manufactured in, its manufacturer, etc.
Before we start we need to install the vininfo module. Run this code into your terminal for installation:
pip install vininfo
Below is the implementation.
Python3
# importing modulefrom vininfo import Vin # Pass the VIN number into Vin methodsvin = Vin('MAJGERTYKGHG56037') # prints vehicle's countryprint(vin.country) # prints vehicle's manufacturerprint(vin.manufacturer) # prints vehicle manufacturer's regionprint(vin.region) |
Output:
India FordS Asia
Program to extract information from VIN number Application with Tkinter. This Script implements the above implementation but in GUI.
Python3
# import modulesfrom tkinter import *from vininfo import Vinfrom tkinter import messagebox def check_vin(): try: vin = Vin(str(e.get())) country.set(vin.country) manufacturer.set(vin.manufacturer) region.set(vin.region) model.set(vin.wmi) Plant.set(vin.vds) Serial.set(vin.vis) year.set(vin.years) res.set("SUCCESS") except: messagebox.showerror("showerror", "VIN not found") # object of tkinter# and background set for light greymaster = Tk()master.configure(bg='light grey') # Variable Classes in tkintercountry = StringVar()manufacturer = StringVar()region = StringVar()model = StringVar()Plant = StringVar()Serial = StringVar()year = StringVar()res = StringVar() # Creating label for each information# name using widget LabelLabel(master, text="VIN NUMBER :", bg="light grey").grid(row=0, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Status :", bg="light grey").grid(row=3, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Country :", bg="light grey").grid(row=4, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Manufactures :", bg="light grey").grid(row=5, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Region :", bg="light grey").grid(row=6, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Model :", bg="light grey").grid(row=7, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Plant :", bg="light grey").grid(row=8, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Serail no:", bg="light grey").grid(row=9, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Year :", bg="light grey").grid(row=10, sticky=W) # Creating lebel for class variable# name using widget EntryLabel(master, text="", textvariable=res, bg="light grey").grid( row=3, column=1, sticky=W)Label(master, text="", textvariable=country, bg="light grey").grid(row=4, column=1, sticky=W)Label(master, text="", textvariable=manufacturer, bg="light grey").grid(row=5, column=1, sticky=W)Label(master, text="", textvariable=region, bg="light grey").grid(row=6, column=1, sticky=W)Label(master, text="", textvariable=model, bg="light grey").grid(row=7, column=1, sticky=W)Label(master, text="", textvariable=Plant, bg="light grey").grid(row=8, column=1, sticky=W)Label(master, text="", textvariable=Serial, bg="light grey").grid(row=9, column=1, sticky=W)Label(master, text="", textvariable=year, bg="light grey").grid( row=10, column=1, sticky=W) e = Entry(master)e.grid(row=0, column=1) # creating a button using the widget# Button that will call the submit functionb = Button(master, text="Show", command=check_vin)b.grid(row=0, column=2, columnspan=2, rowspan=2, padx=5, pady=5) mainloop() |
