PySimpleGUI – Simplified GUI Development for Python

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by MrRobot

PySimpleGUI is a Python library that makes creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) quick and easy. It acts as a wrapper around other GUI frameworks like Tkinter, Qt, WxPython, and Remi, but provides a much simpler API. With PySimpleGUI, developers can build windows, forms, and interactive applications with just a few lines of code. It is popular for beginners, rapid prototyping, and small-to-medium projects where simplicity is more important than advanced customization.

Installation:

pip install PySimpleGUI

Example usage:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [[sg.Text("What's your name?")],
          [sg.InputText()],
          [sg.Button("OK")]]

window = sg.Window("Simple GUI", layout)

while True:
    event, values = window.read()
    if event == sg.WINDOW_CLOSED or event == "OK":
        print("Hello,", values[0])
        break

window.close()

3 Project Ideas:

1. Build a desktop application for managing personal tasks or to-do lists.
2. Create a file organizer tool with drag-and-drop support.
3. Develop a GUI wrapper for a command-line tool to make it user-friendly.
