sample GUI programs/scripts - Skaperen - Jan-16-2019
i am looking for sample GUI programs/scripts that a coded only in Python (as are any modules or libraries it uses beyond core graphical components). i would like to see simpler smaller scripts that are complete enough that i can just download them and run them on my Ubuntu Linux 16.04 laptop that has Python 3.5.2 and 2.7.12. i have a couple ideas for GUI apps i want to code in Python 3 and need to do a lot of learning to get there.

You may take a look at those snippets for PyQt5, especially 'Bare application template' and 'Mouse draggable frameless window'.

Qt is cross platform and it works fine on Linux. The desktop environment is not that relevant (I use Openbox). The advantage of deploying Qt apps on KDE is that the required libs are already installed. But at the opposite I've found that all my apps work fine on most DE, but need specific fixes for KDE as they tend to change the way that Qt work natively, such as appending '&' in front of tab names and other idiosyncrasies.

is there a Python binding for GTK+ ? i found that the native Qt API is C++ whereas the native GTK+ API is plain ole C. my pre-Python experience is in C, not C++, so i would be inclined to go with something based on GTK+, if at all possible, just to learn one set of API semantics.
