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! 🚀

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.

@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

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.

I'm enjoying improving my naive folder/image browser in #Python
https://github.com/villares/sketch-a-day/blob/main/admin_scripts/folder_browser.py

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!

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!

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?

TODO: Find a way of injecting my #Python #py5 sketch source code into the metadata of SVG files they might generate (similar to what I do with the PNGs), and maybe also find a workflow for source in the metadata of GIF outputs.

THEN TODO: Update my image viewer that displays code from the metadata to read those new sketch image formats. https://github.com/villares/sketch-a-day/blob/main/admin_scripts/image_meta_viewer.py

MORE TODO: Improve the image viewer to have a nice grid view (maybe this will be hard if I keep using #PySimpleGUI, but I'm too tired to learn Qt or any other GUI library...)

@jbigham @clatulip yeah, I see your point. Looks like their message is "interfaces are hard and you are just getting started"

As I mostly teach creative coding I like to show how to build some rudimentary GUI elements...

Also, I must try showing #PySimpleGUI in class some day...

@tshirtman #Kivy is amazing! I hope I can do something with Kivy at some point.

For very small stuff I'm using #PySimpleGUI :)

There is a #PySimpleGUI example that shows us how to make an image viewer/browser with very few lines of #Python. I have adapted the example to show PNG metadata, because I find it very useful in my #CreativeCoding practice to be able to generate snapshots that include the source code in the image: https://github.com/villares/sketch-a-day/blob/main/admin_scripts/image_meta_viewer.py

Now I'd like to make a new version that can show thumbnails from a bunch of nested folders... let's see it could be a weekend project...

I built an #alarmclock! Which is ironic cause I hate waking up 😂 It's a project I've been working on for quite some time and I used it to learn building #GUI apps in #python. It's built on #pySimpleGui and has tons of themes and fonts built in. I've built a custom #Raspberrypi image for it or you can self build with the included #ansible script. Custom song support, custom snooze, voice functionality, 12 hour or military time, alarm saving. You name it! Check it out!

I've begun a complete rewrite of the VoiceLab backend. It's enough hacking. Time to start from scratch. I won't change the measurements or anything... Just the GUI and the data pipeline to accommodate multiprocessing, and in doing so, I'll tidy up the codebase.

While I'm developing (will likely take many months), have a look at my latest release:

Tutorial: PySimpleGUI und die Matplotlib

Nach dem gestrigen Beitrag hatte ich Blut geleckt und wollte es genau wissen. Kann man wirklich die Matplotlib so einfach mit PySimpleGUI verkuppeln, wie das auch mit Tkinter möglich war? Spoiler: Man kann! http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/11/2022111301.html #Python #PySimpleGUI #Matplotlib

PySimpleGUI und Py5 – wächst zusammen, was zusammengehört?

Hut ab! Alexandre B A Villares hat es geschafft, Py5, den Python-3-Port von Processing, mit PySimpleGUI zu verkuppeln. Das ist für mich vor allem aus dem Grund interessant, weil mein (leider wegen fehlender Open Source Lizenz eingestelltes) Interesse an TigerJython auch darauf beruhte, das man zwischen den Modulen GPanel und Turtle einfach wechseln konnte. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/11/2022111201.html #Py5 #Processing #Python #PySimpleGUI #CreativeCoding
