Creating 10 Apps in Python [ with PySimpleGui ]

In this video you will learn how to create simple python GUIs using the PySimpleGUI library. There are 10 projects in this video: A converter, a calculator, a stopwatch, a text app, the snake game, an image editor, a music player, a weather app and a opencv face detector. There is also an extra video about creating a gui in a single line of code.
By the end of the video you should be comfortable understanding PySimpleGUI and solve more or less any problem inside of it. The video will also use popular python modules like matplotlib, opencv, pytube, pillow and BeautifulSoup4.

Very nice video. You could add a little more code in the stop watch since at the moment the lap function does not really create "Lap Times". It just stores the current value for the overall elapsed time. For example if the first Lap is 2 seconds long the the second one is one second long this would show: Lap 1: 2; Lap 2: 3 instead of Lap 1: 2; Lap 2: 1

In the text editor 1:48:04 u should add: if char_count == 0: word_count = 0 so that when you have nothing in there it wount tell u that u have 1 word

[@jonateez]

At 33:07 I found it much easier to just use this: if event == 'button1' and values[0] == 'km to miles': input = int(values['input1']) window['outputText1'].update(input / 1.609 ) and then use the asterisk operator to do the opposite

[@erfer]

definitely make 'km to miles' a variable like KM_TO_MILES. This means you can also make it a number which is a bit easier to check

Hi! I don't know if you reply or not, but i have a question. I'm developing an app that will help me calculate the dimension of components, and i noticed that if i lay it down like the first demonstration and i put in negative numerical values it recognizes them as string values, not numerical values. I managed to work around it without implementing the numerical check but i want to have a safer insertion. Is there a workaround?

[@kjasghi]

[@kpm25]

I'm just researching to decide on which python gui to put effort into to get started with. You mentioned that PySimplegui is wrapped around others such as Tkinter and qt....... would it be more beneficial to learn those first?

[@ClearCode]

If you just want to make guis and don't care about looks very much just go with PySimpleGui, it is by far the easiest to learn. I will release a long series on tkinter in a few weeks, that will cover much more sophisticated stuff.

for the converter example, while running the code "match values['-UNITS-']:" it is throwing me an error, stating invalid syntax.

[@ClearCode]

match only works with python 3.10 or greater. You probably have an older version.

[@TheREALDocRabbit]

you can use an if elif else statement in place of the match to make it work, setting units = values['-UNITS-'] makes the if statement read like: if units == 'km to mile': ... elif units=='kg to pound': etc.

tkinter is usually installed when you install Python, not via pip. The easiest fix is probably to reinstall python and make sure you tick the box to install tkinter. Look for a checkbox that inlcudes tcl/tk
