If you would want to make tkinter app a little bit nicer looking you could use theme like this one.

You can make tkinter look good with this or this.

Surprisingly more than ever! There are a few libraries and themes that make it look very good. This one and this one are both amazing

Move to html/css for your interface or for desktop only Tkinter with some new looks. And if you need really complex stuff, there's PySide6.

Easily themable (some great themes here).

Matplotlib or Plotly will give you grafana style plots, the rest of what you want (Buttons, Entry Boxes, Labels) is all in Tkinter! If you don't like the look of tkinter, you can change it with this, this or this. (that last one is my favorite).

Also with the new tkinter themes provided here, tkinter is having a micro-resurgence thanks to its new look.

But I recently found this beautiful theme for ttk and some customizations for tkinter that made me look twice before going to the PySide. If your UI does not need complex interaction, tkinter can look really good.

Hello!

I am pleased to announce a new version of my "CLI text processing with GNU sed" ebook. This book heavily leans on examples to present features one by one. In addition to sed commands and options, regular expressions are also discussed in detail.

Links:

* PDF/EPUB versions: https://learnbyexample.gumroad.com/l/gnu_sed (free for a few days)

* Web version: https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_gnused/ (always free)

* Markdown source, example files, etc: https://github.com/learnbyexample/learn_gnused

* Interactive TUI app for exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/TUI-apps/blob/main/SedExercises

I would highly appreciate it if you'd let me know how you felt about this book. It could be anything from a simple thank you, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn't!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.

Happy learning :)

I also wrote an interactive TUI app based on some of the exercises from the ebook. Reference solutions are provided for both GNU grep and ripgrep.

These days I prefer coding TUI apps using Textual (see my repo https://github.com/learnbyexample/TUI-apps for examples) since I find this framework easier to work with and I don't need full GUI features for my projects.

This year I started updating my existing books and I'm also creating interactive apps. Here's one for Python regex: https://github.com/learnbyexample/TUI-apps/blob/main/PyRegexExercises. Next is grep.

Having an interactive program that automatically loads questions and checks the solution is wonderful to have while learning a topic. I wrote a TUI app that has beginner to advanced level exercises for Python regular expressions. There are more than 100 exercises covering both the builtin re and third-party regex modules.
