(Aug-17-2018, 04:16 PM)PySimpleGUI Wrote: It's crazy that with this design one line of Python code replaces many pages of typical GUI code and is superior to the other simplified packages in the flexibility. And yet, Python's only GUI promise is that tkinter is available. Why can't Python have something for the beginners that is officially supported? Why can't Python seem to get off the command line and onto the screen?tkinter is "technically" the official GUI for python (for now). However only windows users assume that tkinter comes with python. In some distros of linux you have to install it like any other 3rd party package. At that point they might just install wxpython or pyqt, etc.
tkinter is for beginners of GUI. It automates some of the work for you that other GUI libs dont do. Its missing a lot of features other GUI's have for common tasks.
Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, says of wxPython Wrote:wxPython is the best and most mature cross-platform GUI toolkit, given a number of constraints. The only reason wxPython isn't the standard Python GUI toolkit is that Tkinter was there first.
Quote:how does one go about making a pitch to the Python-powers-that-be? Is there a process documented for presenting new Python ideas? If not my design, then Python needs something else that's similar.Your library is more of a wrapper around tkinter. It might just be how you want it. But what does others want? Maybe they just want to use straight tkinter because its well documented, and any question regarding an issue has a ton of Google hits. Your lib does appear to simplify tasks. If people like it then it will get popular by natural methods. This forum is not ran by those developing python or python.org site. It took me a couple years of emailing them to get this forum listed on python.org. I couldnt imagine the time it would take for something more complex than a link on the page.
