  1. PySimpleGUI 6: 🎉 Because we all know #Python developers were just praying for yet another layer of #abstraction over tkinter, Qt, WxPython, and Remi. 🤦‍♂️ 2026 brings us the #LGPL3 version, because clearly, nothing screams "fun" like licensing updates! 🚀

  6. I'm so old that literally #PySimpleGUI got sold and is now a freemium library. I just opened my old app and it woke up asking for a license key.

    At least there is a replacement, the frozen old version (the company removed the old versions) and the possibly active fork (got a bad impression because of the AI image on the README). Still an ass move though. Better to let it sit on the archives than sell it.

  15. @glyph @mcc I have been developing in Python over 20 years but have always been leery of UI work due to the complexity of Tkinter and GTK APIs. Last year I surveyed the options for RAD GUI tools and landed on #PySimpleGUI. Over a few months I was able to iteratively develop and enhance a SQL query tool of modest complexity and found joy in accomplishing the task. No longer intimidated I am now exploring other options such as #Streamlit and #Textual

  20. Есть библиотека, PySimpleGUI, на питоне, с целью "сделать простую утилитку для быстрого делания гуя кодом на основе уже имеющихся фреймворков (tkinter, PyQT, ещё какой-то)".

    Сегодня узнал, что они решили 1) стать платными для корпораций и вообще лицензироваться, 2) постирали историю коммитов, и 3) что в 2024 Q2 версия 4 (бесплатная) будет "sunsetted". Люди уже форкнули её (лицензия позволяет вроде), но осадочек(

    Пишу, т.к. мне понравился их подход к построению интерфейсов, но какое-то негодование ощущается.

    🎶 Another bites the dust. 🎶

    Moves like this are a bit... strange? It was on github. There are 1.8k forks, with intact LGPL. What is happening here? Is their dev work worth 99$/year ? Not saying people don't deserve to get paid for their work. I'm just not seeing the business case for this.

  29. Dzisiaj prowadziłem warsztaty z #Python, #Requests i #API, a potem wyświetlenie okna z #PySimpleGUI. Dobre dla technik programista, liceum.

  31. I'm enjoying improving my naive folder/image browser in #Python
    github.com/villares/sketch-a-d

    Every time I explore #GUI making without a proper GUI library/framework, drawing directly on a window with #py5, I get something useful very quickly with lot's of control, but on the other hand, the code starts getting "complicated" quickly.

    #PySimpleGUI is awesome for small forms/panels and, as the name implies, simple GUIs. I quickly got blocked by it for this use case. Maybe one day I'll learn #PyQt and "make the jump" to proper GUI building. But the initial complexity is daunting. I'm probably ignoring/overlooking the initial complexity of py5 too, because I'm so used to it and the subjacent #Processing way of doing things!

  36. Today I improved my #Python script to convert #png files in a folder to #gif, using a graphic interface with #PySimpleGUI (I have a CLI version too I have recently converted from #Pillow to #imageio) and during class I made a png to #mp4 version!

  37. From time to time I think about working on a #Python #ImageBrowser (that can show me metadada I have added to some of my images with the source code of the sketch that generated each).

    I've seen quite a few #tkinter and #PySimpleGUI examples, but they all look at a single folder, I'd like something that could *show multiple folders at once* (ideally with the option to collapse sub-folders). PyQt is to daunting for me.

    Would you know of any project I could study?
