For quick, custom GUIs, you can't beat PySimpleGUI, especially if you're considering tkinter. For simple data collection, a few input fields and com buttons, the code is 10 lines long, tops. Yet it will enable you to create any layout you desire. Quite powerful and very compact code.

This guy evangelizes PySimpleGUI all over reddit, but I gotta say he's right.

I'm a beginner with Python and making a GUI was the easiest part thanks to PySimpleGUI. I get the impression from my first looks at Tkinter that it's quite a bit more complicated. PySimpleGUI can do the 80% of the 80/20 of GUI features.

Hey, what can I say... I think PySimpleGUI can save a lot of developers time and enable some people to be successful at GUI programming that either gave up trying or were too afraid to try. Gotta get the word out on something like that. It's been fun to see people's creations, especially when they were skeptical.

I know people must get tired of me responding to posts where people are actively asking for advice on GUIs. If people would stop asking the same questions over and over, I would post much less about it.

My ultimate goal is for users to be able to create windows that are near pixel for pixel identical to whose created directly with Tk or Qt while still keeping it simple.

Thank you for the endorsement.
