Python GUI development tool selection

The biggest feature of Python is its rapid development function. As a glue language, python can penetrate into almost every field in our programming process. Here I will briefly introduce some options for GUI development using python.

1.Tkinter

　Tkinter seems to be an interface library developed at the same time as the tcl language. Tkinter is a standard GUI library equipped with python and is also a product of opensource. Tkinter can be used on windows/linux/unix/macintosh operating systems, and the display style is localized. Tkinter is very simple to use, and IDLE that comes with python is written using it. In addition, tkinter's extension sets pmw and Tix are more powerful than it, but tkinter is the most basic. I think that tkinter is the most basic knowledge when using Python for GUI development, so this link must be learned. You may not use tkinter frequently in future development, but it is still very useful for some small applications, and the development speed is also very fast.

2.WxPython

　 WxWidgets should be regarded as a relatively popular GUI cross-platform development technology in recent years. There are different versions of wxWidgets, including c++ and basic. Now there are better transplants on python. The functions of wxpython are stronger than tkinter. It provides more than 200 classes, object-oriented programming style, and a designed framework similar to MFC. For large-scale GUI applications, wxPython still has strong advantages. boa constructor can help us quickly and visually build the wxwidgets interface.

3.PyQT

　Qt is also an open source GUI library. Qt has more than 300 class libraries and more than 5,700 functions. Qt is also suitable for large-scale applications. Its own qt designer allows us to easily build interface elements.

4.pyGtk

Gtk is the core development library of Gnome under Linux. The functions are very complete. It is worth mentioning that the display style of gtk under the windows platform is not particularly localized. However, the glade interface designer he brings can still save you a lot of trouble.

5.Jython

Have you tried using python to access the java class library? Then use jython. Jython can actually be considered as another Python development environment, based on Java, but most CPython calls can still be made under jython. You can call the Java language through Python syntax in the jython environment just like you use Java, which is really cool.

6.MFC

　 Windows Pywin32 allows you to use PYTHON to develop win32 applications in the same form as VC. The coding style can be similar to win32 SDK or MFC, the choice is yours. If you still don't give up on the same code process as vc in python, then this is a good choice.

7.PythonCard

　PythonCard is actually a repackage of wxPython. However, the encapsulation is simpler, and it feels more intuitive and simpler to use than wxPython.

8.Dabo

　 It is still a repackaging library based on wxpython. I have never used it and don’t know much about it. It provides database access, business logic, and user interface.

9.AnyGui

　 Use the underlying API to access other tool sets, such as tkinter, wxpython and qt. I haven’t used it very much.

10.WPY

　 MFC-style Gui development library, the code style is also similar to MFC. However, you can still use this library to develop GUI applications without worrying about platform porting. It is also a cross-platform library.

11.IronPython

If you want to develop applications under .net, then IronPython is your choice. It is somewhat similar to jython. It also supports standard python modules, but also adds support for .net libraries. You can also understand it as another python development environment. You can use Python syntax to develop .net applications very conveniently, which sounds really interesting.

In short, after introducing so much, my personal opinion is that if you are a java user, then you should use jython. In addition to enjoying the module functions and syntax of python, you can find many shadows of java; if you are. NET users, then use iron python. If you are familiar with Visual C++, then you can use MFC, WPY or wxPython. Of course, I recommend wxPython. Of course, I think tkinter is a GUI library that everyone who originally worked in C should understand and learn, because it is very light and can be used for small applications. For larger applications, pyGtk, pyQt, WxPython or PythonCard is used to solve this problem. In this way, you can not only focus on the connection of knowledge, but also quickly develop software.
