  • Their old CONTRIBUTING file <https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/blob/1fa911cafee6...> said:

    > Pull requests are not being accepted for the project. This includes sending code changes via other means than "pull requests". Plainly put, code you send will not be used.

    > I don't mean to be ugly. This isn't personal. Heck, I don't know "you",the reader personally. It's not about ego. It's complicated. The result is that it allows me to dedicate my life to this project. It's what's required, for whatever reason, for me to do this. That's the best explanation I have. I love and respect the users of this work.

    It's obvious in hindsight that those reasons were a bald-faced lie, and the real reason was exactly that he could legally do this rug pull.

  • Sun-Valley-ttk-theme

    A gorgeous theme for Tkinter/ttk, based on the Sun Valley visual style ✨

  • Welp, I have been messing around with a small project using PySimpleGUI using Deepseek to help me learn it. I found a cool project that has a very nice theme for 'ttk' widgets[0] which are supported in PySimpleGUI. Not sure how to proceed... I guess I will use the uncertainty to explore some of these 100% pure python web dev for shits and grins[1].

  • FastUI

    Build better UIs faster.

  • CPython

    The Python programming language

  • You missed that they gave an example that does work—Java Swing is bundled with the JVM, making it more or less part of the standard library. Python itself also has Tkinter, which exists inside the cpython repo and is installed with Python [0].

    C++ may not work, but most other languages (especially VM-based) can and many do.

  • PyAutoGUI

    A cross-platform GUI automation Python module for human beings. Used to programmatically control the mouse & keyboard.

  • PySimpleGUI-4-foss

    Mirror of the last GPL version of PySimpleGUI repository

  • Thanks to you and @molticrystal I've made a mirror just in case. Didn't mention your names in the README as I weren't sure if you wanted to be mentioned or not.
