Note: This section is rather incomplete. Don't be too disappointed if you can't find the information you need, but please add any information you can contribute.

Todo:: Would it be useful to have information about the GUIs and development tools in a fixed format to make them more easily comparable (see WebProgrammingTemplate and WebProgrammingTemplateHelp). Some categories: directly supported widgets, addon widgets, layout managers, ...

Maybe it could answer the questions in ChoosingGuiToolkits for each toolkit?

Some available GUI's for Python:

  • Package

    Target

    ["venster"]

    Windows

    [http://venster.sf.net Venster] is a highly native Windows GUI toolkit for Python based on the ctypes ffi library. The aim of Venster is to be a very lightweight wrapper around the standard Win32 API, making it easy to write slick windows applications in pure Python.

    PyUi

    OpenGL

    Specialized GUI Toolkit for generating GUIs for OpenGL programs.

    ["PyGUI"]

    MacOS / Gtk

    Abstract, pythonic API encapsulating different platforms; At the moment runs on MacOS X/Carbon & Unix/Gtk

    EasyGui

    Tk

    EasyGUI is a module for very simple, very easy GUI programming in Python.

Anyone for a GuiProgrammingShootout?

GUI builders:

CameronLaird's personal notes on Python GUIs [http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.python/python_GUI.html] includes over 25 links to toolkits and techniques for connecting python with a GUI.

Other places to look are PythonGuis at Thinki, and http://sensei.co.il/python/ui.html .

[http://www.opendocs.org/ Opendocs] has some material on Qt programming with python for onl-line reading.

Python City ([http://www.awaretek.com/plf.html]) has an on-line interactive GUI toolkit chooser for Python based on user-defined criteria: [http://www.awaretek.com/toolkits.html]
