Python GUI Programming Help!!! by Snippets(op): 4:47pm On Mar 11, 2013
Pls Gurus in the House.. I need help on Choosing a Framework for Building apps(GUI Programming) using Python.. I've Heard about Tkinter, PyGTK, Wxpython, Iron Python, EasyGUI

Am still a newbie in Python and can only write text-based apps with it.. I'll like to venture into GUI programming and then web programming using Python later on..

All I need is a suggestion on a framework that does not have a steep learning Curve..

Thanks in Advance..

PS: Please reasons as to Why a particular framework will be much Appreciated..

Am Just Loving Python

Gurus, Over To U

imho PySide or PyQt is best. It it easier to learn and has an excellent drag n drop ui designer (qt designer). plus it has everything u'll ever need. u can write a complete gui app using only qt apis without any module from d standard lib. if u come from .net u'll find d api very similar. least i forget, it has excellent documentation too. checkout PySide on qt-project.org or PyQt on riverbankcomputing.com.

bb6xt, you use pyqt?
Re: Python GUI Programming Help!!! by bb6xt(m): 9:48pm On Mar 15, 2013
started out with pyqt4 but later ditched it for pyside because of the license. But both have the same api except for the initial import (from PyQt4 import QtCore or from PySide import QtCore). From the look of things pyside is not actively developed now so I'd advice pyqt, I hear qt5 is being ported to pyqt presently.

@webdezzi: I luv qt! I can use it in any language where it is support eg Python+PyQt/PySide, Java+QtJambi, C++Qt5 etc. However, I first discovered it in PyQt4.

I use pyQt too and since i've been programming, i've never seen a toolkit that makes life so easy as QT
it's GUI and threading are awesome. to have it go with python means you can develop great apps with one of the finest programming language.
