    Python GUIs for Humans! PySimpleGUI is the top-rated Python application development environment. Launched in 2018 and actively developed, maintained, and supported in 2024. Transforms tkinter, Qt, WxPython, and Remi into a simple, intuitive, and fun experience for both hobbyists and expert users.

    Does this kind of app distribute easily? As in, can I package up the runtime and the app into a single exe? I see this, but does someone have experience to share? https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI

  • Gooey

    Turn (almost) any Python command line program into a full GUI application with one line

    For those looking to build a simple GUI, another option is Gooey [0]. It takes your arparse declarations and builds a simple GUI based on that.

    Gooey is probably easier to set up, but PySimpleGUI looks like it's more flexible and powerful. Look at your own battle and choose your weapons accordingly :-)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • urwid

    Console user interface library for Python (official repo)

    One question. Which is the best python library for TUI?

    I used to use http://urwid.org/ but It needs a lot of code to do the stuffs.

    I look for a library that is packaged in Debian (if something is in Debian, it is standard and has long life).

  • DearPyGui

    Dear PyGui: A fast and powerful Graphical User Interface Toolkit for Python with minimal dependencies

    I have found DearPyGui [1] to be a really efficient way to knock up a quick GUI for a Python script/app. There's almost no boilerplate and I've found it scales reasonably well as things get more complex as it's easy to split views/"components" into modules and classes.

  • guietta

    Does anyone know how this compares to guietta? [1] Both look quite similar, and I have already successfully used the latter in two small projects. It was so easy to set up, I had not even read much of the documentation at all.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
