python-live-gui VS flet

Looks super cool! Clearly an idea that people want - I built something similar to this almost two year ago [1] but your project is a lot more fleshed out. I like that you actually used websockets instead of my hacky approach of using an http stream.

Hey all,

Wanted to re-share my framework now that it has reached v1.0.

https://gitlab.com/BenWiser/python-live-gui

I’m promising stability for the API but there’s still a lot more I’d like to get done.

I built this for a very specific use case I have of wanting a remote based application.

I specifically use this for communicating with a raspberry pi.

It’s quite a nice quick way of working. Hopefully the form upload gives a better idea of how you can use this:

I'm happy to officially mark it as version 1.0.0 and to enforce backwards compatibility.

There is still a lot I want to get done but I'm also eagre to hopefully start getting feature requests.

The goal of this project is to make it really easy for me to throw a GUI together for remote applications. Hopefully that scratches an itch for some of you as well.

This demo showing how you can save form data shows the kind of usecases I use this for:

> When you run flet build command it ... Packages Python app using package command of serious_python package. -- https://flet.dev/docs/guides/python/packaging-app-for-distri...

It looks like Flet is for client-side code. It lets you write Flutter apps with Python instead of Dart.

> Simple Architecture - No more complex architecture with JavaScript frontend, REST API backend, database, cache, etc. With Flet you just write a monolith stateful app in Python only and get multi-user, realtime Single-Page Application (SPA). -- https://flet.dev

If I'm writing Python that runs on the mobile device, it must talk to a server to read & write data. Doesn't this still require an API backend, database, cache, etc?

I just learned of Flet (https://flet.dev) which seems interesting for Python. I may try this as well.

When developing or selecting an MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) recognition SDK, the primary challenge lies in finding an appropriate dataset for testing. Acquiring genuine MRZ images is challenging, and due to privacy concerns, they aren't publicly accessible. Therefore, crafting MRZ images becomes a practical solution. Fortunately, there's an open-source Python MRZ generator project, available for download from pypi, eliminating the need to start from scratch. This article aims to illustrate how to integrate and run Python scripts within web applications. First, We will showcase how to employ the Python MRZ SDK and Flet to construct a cross-platform MRZ generator. Subsequently, we will reuse the Python script with Pyodide, HTML5, and the Dynamsoft JavaScript MRZ SDK, creating an advanced online MRZ tool that can handle both MRZ creation and MRZ detection.

"The fastest way to build Flutter apps in Python" is the title of Flet's web page. As someone coming from the Flutter world reading the line I draw an ideal picture of "swapping Dart language for Python and magically having the whole power of Flutter framework and the tips of your fingers".

Well I haven't seen anyone mention Flet, which is pleasant (if maybe not all that complete) if you have Dart/Flutter experience, so increment your counter at least one. :-)
