How To Download Python Pysimplegui

Be aware that Macs default to using ttk buttons. You can override this setting at the Window and Button levels. If you installed Python from python.org, then it's likely you can use the non-ttk buttons should you wish.
Be sure and run your program outside of your IDE first. Start your program from the shell using python or python3 command. On numerous occasions much time was spent chasing problems caused by the IDE. By running from a command line, you take that whole question out of the problem, an important step.
With a simple GUI, it becomes practical to "associate" .py files with the python interpreter on Windows. Double click a py file and up pops a GUI window, a more pleasant experience than opening a dos Window and typing a command line.
Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Sorry to hear that results in an error - I would have to learn more about pysimplegui before I could make another suggestion. Someone with more experience with that library may have a better suggestion.
You should now do these 2 operations on that shortcut1. Rename it something that looks like any other program2. Choose an icon for your shortcut. On windows, this needs to be a .ICO file3. Set a specific program that opens it (your pythonw.exe file)
Because I wanted the 3.9 version of Python to open this specific program, I added pythonw.exe part to the target field in the properties. After the pythonw.exe add your full path to your .pyw file. If there are any spaces, put "" around it. It should look something like this:
Printing to the console becomes a problem however when you launch using pythonw on Windows or if you launch your program in some other way that doesn't have a console. With PySimpleGUI you have many options available to you so fear not.
If you would like your python program to run without showing a console window, then you can name your file with a .pyw extension and open the file using pythonw instead of python. This is the preferred way to launch a final version of a PySimpleGUI program as there is no need for a Console window and it will be a much more "Windows-like" experience.
Even HTAs have crossed my mind. Been thinking about doing this under WINE or virtualized. Linux simply doesn't cater to easy... Even bash can be over-engineered. PySimpleGUI looks perfect (for some solutions). This may help entice me to working with python more seriously.
I have been working on a simple python application recently to automate creating article stubs for this blog. I had a working version using tkinter for the user interface. I wanted to add a date picker, to allow selecting the date from a pop-up dialog. Tkinter doesn't have a date picker in its widget collection. I did find where someone has written a date picker that is available to pip install. (It is called tkcalendar).
PySimpleGUI can also be a wrapper around Qt, wxPython, and Remi. I haven't heard of Remi previously, but apparently it is a browser based UI for python apps. This means you could write your application with pySimpleGUI and have it wrap any one of four different GUI frameworks with some tweaks to your python imports! That is pretty cool.
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.
