Augmenting the Markdown Language for Great Python Graphical Interfaces
I gave up a long time ago attempting to write GUIs in pure python. I've come back to them periodically to see if the landscape has changed, but I'm always disappointed.
My current go-to python GUI solution is to use the Eel library. It renders GUIs in a web-browser like window with HTMl/CSS/JS.It lets you expose your python functions to JavaScript, so data can be easily transferred back and forth between the python and the JavaScript. And since it's just web-dev, it's pretty easy to make things look and feel good enough. Any other web-dev libraries like bootstrap and jquery can be used. It works pretty well for writing GUIs that put data analysis tools in front of my colleagues.

Need to access the variable from an asynchronous function
I am calling a function from Python using eel and taking the return value. Python functions are asynchronous with JavaScript by nature. This code is combined with other variables to determine if the form can continue. allFilled() is called everytime the form field changes.

TIL: Eel is amazing for making quick and visually rich UIs!
In the past, I've used QT4 and QT Designer. It was okay. It was a small mountain to climb for myself then - but certainly doable. However, there was a lot of generated code that wasn't the most concise thing. Today, I discovered Eel. Since I used QT4 in the past, I've done some web dev. Certainly, not proficient there. But Eel wasn't as big of a hurdle. In fact, it took me a fraction of the time because it is much like creating a basic website. Where there's an abundance of tutorials and tips out there for everything imaginable. Instead of downloading and adding a font, clicking through a bunch of dialogs. I just linked a Google font and updated the CSS. Stuff like that.

Could someone suggest a development environment and/or tools I could use? I'm looking for an environment similar to a browser. I plan on using Python to display the results of many calculations that would change, maybe every second or half second. With lots of variables involved. More details below.
If you don't want a web-app, you can still use JS for GUI, using something like python-eel https://github.com/python-eel/Eel

Why although Pyqt and Pyside are very similar in terms of functionality, every known course is made for Pyqt which has commercial licence? I am really curious to know...
They're basically identical as far as I've seen through using PyQt5 then Pyside6. Either way, I'd recommend just using qtpy. Then if you need to switch for license reasons or whatever, it's as easy as installing the other lib and changing an env variable
