2021-07-22 14:10:28 ​Top 5 Python GUI Libraries

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is the first thing your user sees and interacts with when he opens your application or website. A user interface usually includes a host of visual elements like icons, buttons, graphics, displayed text, and several other forms of input, like checkbox, text input boxes, and such. The goal behind this post is to help you to find the right framework for building interactive GUIs with the several GUI frameworks Python has to offer.

PyQt5
The PyQt package is built around the Qt framework, which is a cross-platform framework used for creating numerous applications for various platforms. It also offers the QtGui and the QtDesigner module, which provide numerous visual elements that the developer can implement with a simple drag and drop.

Tkinter
Tkinter was created to equip modern developers with a standard interface to the Tk GUI toolkit with its Python bindings. In Tkinter’s world, most of the visual elements that we’re familiar with are called widgets, and each of these widgets offers a different level of customizability.

Kivy
Kivy is an open-source GUI framework for building some of the most intuitive user interfaces encompassing multi-touch applications that implement Natural User Interface (NUI). With Kivy, interface designers can code once and deploy to multiple platforms.

wxPython
wxPython allows Python developers to create native user interfaces that add zero additional overhead to the application. The cross-platform capabilities of wxPython allow deployment to platforms like Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Unix-based systems with little to no modifications.

PyGUI
PyGUI is a graphical application cross-platform framework for Unix, Macintosh and Windows. Compared to some other GUI frameworks, PyGUI is by far the simplest and lightweight of them all. PyGUI inserts very less code between the GUI platform and Python application, hence the display of the application usually displays the natural GUI of the platform.

2021-07-13 11:48:52 Python → .exe

Your Python code would be more useful if it was available to a wide range of people – this would include non-technical users who have never used a command prompt or terminal. With PyInstaller you can easily convert a Python file (.py) to an executable standalone application (.exe).

Installation
pip install pyinstaller

PyInstaller is designed to worked in a command prompt or terminal environment. You would simply compile your Python code by typing the code below in your terminal:
pyinstaller your_python_code.py
You can also slightly modify it by adding the onefile option. This creates one giant executable file instead of creating a lot of files which are mixed with your compiled executable:
pyinstaller your_python_code.py --onefile
