Which GUI should I choose ? - Matprog49 - Apr-25-2020
Hi everyone,
I’m using .Net since some years and I would like to learn python. To be honest I really like linux and the idea to do software compatible with windows and linux…
Anyway, i’m starting with some tutorial I found online and tried a simple menu with tkinter.
And to be honest i’m a bit dissapoint with the result. The quality of the menu is not amazing ….
I mean the quality of the menu itself, seems like old….
So, should I do something to improve it ? If yes how ? If you have any links I would be happy
I’m developping software for the office
Thanks for your help :)
RE: Which GUI should I choose ? - buran - Apr-25-2020
This is discussed so many times. Look at https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming
wxPython phoenix is good choice in my opinion.
PyQt/PySide, but note the licensing terms of PyQt.

Thanks and sorry again…
So I installed wxFormBuilder, and when I copy the code generated inside PyCharm
it block just with the importation
import wx import wx.xrcso I tried to install wxPython but I got this message :
