Modern Graphical User Interfaces in Python

[@skoolderz55]

Depending on the python version, you would have to put "font=("Roboto", 24)" in place of "text-font"

[@versystudio822]

Since customtkinter update, if you have an error "ValueError: ['text_font'] are not supported arguments", change argument 'text_font' to 'font', like this: label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(master=frame1, text="Trade Control", font=("Roboto", 24))

[@raindrop2124]

Thank you, I was wondering why it wasn't working

[@MZak-js7oy]

can you make a comparison between "PysimpleGUI, Tk, CustomTK, streamlit and Flet" ? the complexity of the code, the number of code lines, load time, speed, event handling, web usage etc ?

[@UncleDavid]

flet is just flutter bindings, pysimpleGUI looks like windows 95, tk looks like windows 98, customtk looks like windows xp, streamlet is basically react components so html and css, pyqt has .ui files which are basically xml files, xml can be edited to your hearts content with css, or you can use their ui python syntax to make modern apps

[@cheaterman49]

Kivy too :-)

[@Mahanmarwat]

@@cheaterman49 PyGi too.

[@duftcola]

Pysimplegui only lets you create a single window so if your ui is a bit more complex than that then it is quite limited

[@cheaterman49]

@@UncleDavid How is Kivy "pretty limited"? It gives you access to the whole power of OpenGL/GLES, so you have literally as much control as you want :-)

When will someone make a drag-and-drop editor for this and help everyone save time on manually coding such stuff. Even VBA had this built in, why is everyone so proud of all the characters it took to build a UI..

[@robertfox499]

I was thinking the exact same thing myself. Even VBA in Excel has a click and drag UI builder so why are people getting so excited about this? And then it dawned on me that one could pretty easily build a Tkinter Drag and Drop GUI builder in... wait for it... wait for it...: Visual Basic Dot Net or Visual Basic C#. It would be a supreme irony, no?

Could not agree more. As he pointed out himself, it is just sort of a wrapper around tkinter, with nicer names etc. and much more comfort. This can be all done in the original, but it would take a lot of time. A really nice 10 minute dive to get familiar with a new library

[@TipsJazzInferno]

I would strongly recomend to any linux users just looking to make GUI for yourself or other linux user. The Gnome and KDE python gui kits are really nice and handle all of the themeing etc for you since they make use of whatever your DE settings are

[@MrBiggles53]

LOT of improvements since 2.12 & wxPython! I hope to get back into Python in a year or so. Had to switch to Java then C+ or Sharp for projects before switching to web front ends then Linux Admin. The programming approach still comes in handy, but I’ve strayed from being pure pythonic.

For the easiest, intuitive and very modern ui just make your python code to an api and use Flutter for front end. If you just need a quick ui where the user isnt worried about the look then pyqt is the best through the designer and you can easily implement progress bars, drag and drop of files etc

[@BurakSaruhan]

Is there any examples to this? Like a boilerplate git repo?

How would I go about doing that? I'm new to this so what would I have to learn make my python code an api and use flutter for front end? Thanks!

[@shawnington]

QT and intuitive don't belong in the same sentence. Its a C++ library with Python bindings, but still mostly still C++ syntax, for anyone not semi competent in c++ its the most confusing non-pythonic thing they will ever interact with in python.

[@ahmed89channel]

i was have an error not working and solved by google it Instead of using text_font=("Roboto"), 24)). Use (master=frame, text="Login" font=("Roboto"), 24)). The current version library to 'customtkinter' update may have caused the change.

Yeah, or how we have to read through some thrown together error output instead of the editor just straight up jumping and highlighting the line where the exception happend. I mean it can output the error, why can't it process it then ? I think all of this is even more ridiculous if you compare it to games like AgeOfEmpires or something, like even the games almost thirty years ago had visual designers for their ingame levels, yet when programming anything it feels like I have to deal with 40yr old technology for some religious reason. IMO programming should be the most advanced user experience a computer can give you and not the worst one lol.

@@NeonGreenT True. Honestly feels like game engines handle this stuff better. It takes literally seconds to throw together a UI and a bunch of working buttons in something like Unity or Godot.

[@mainsequence1055]

I'm using Python 3.9 and using the latest version of customtkinter and I had to make some slight changes to get this script to run without any kwargs errors: The CTkEntry class does not support the placeholder argument. This may be due to a version mismatch between the customtkinter module and the version of the code that you are using. To fix the issue, you can remove the placeholder argument and instead use the insert method to add a placeholder text to the entry widget. Here's an example: entry1 = customtkinter.CTkEntry(master=frame) entry1.insert(0, "Username") This creates an entry widget and adds the placeholder text "Username" to it using the insert method. You can do the same for the password entry widget: entry2 = customtkinter.CTkEntry(master=frame, show="*") entry2.insert(0, "Password") Hope this helps.

Looked at the WYSYWYG GUI implements etc but everything kind of looked ugly. Part of me wants to just code it out in Sublime and the other part of me wants to save time on the GUI via drag and drop concept which of course creates massive endless blocks of code which is annoying to sift through should I have the desire or need to.
