How good is appJar?
#1
I started learning python about 1 week ago, so I'm not sure if the path I'm taking for creating gui's will be a good one. I heard that appJar was pretty simple from this website https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming, so I decided to try it in my test script 
...And it turned out like this: Of course, I did the bare minimum to make the program functional, as I'm still learning. It probably isn't accurately representative of appJar's capabilities.

On appJar's website, it says that It has no dependencies, other than Python (Python 3.x or 2.7) and relies on Python's built-in tkinter library.

So I guess my question is this: If I'm going to being creating some more detailed or in depth gui's, should I switch from appJar? If so, to what?

EDIT: Any tips on my code would also be appreciated :-)

how about using tkinter directly. It's already a wrapper around Tk, and is quite easy to use.
To be fair, though I had never heard about appJar so need to take a look at it to see what it offers
above and beyond tkinter itself.
I think if I wanted to use a package, it would be Qt5.

Sound like a good idea to me. Do you know of any good websites of videos for learning the basics of Tk?

Not sure about videos, but a quick search for 'tkinter' on youtube should find a bunch.
Here's a demo (needs some help on a couple of widgets, but most work) with examples

hare are some good tutorials:
http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/index.html
http://www.python-course.eu/python_tkinter.php
and there are many more.

The demo above has sample code for every widget included in the demo
