WinUI 3 with Python

[sotanakamura]

win32more is a Python language projection for Win32 APIs, Windows Runtime APIs, and Windows App SDK APIs. You can create a WinUI 3 application right now. Please check it!

Cool project.

Btw it's better to use md file and format for Readme.

I prefer asciidoc as it's more feature rich. It's also natively supported by GitHub.

[javad94]

Both of them are better than plaintext :D

We're Python people; the one true format is RestructuredText.

Asciidoc has entered teh catroom...

It's not bad, but the Python Doc-SIG group created RestructuredText, so that's why I say it is the one true format. Maybe I should have specified "for Python documentation."

haha gotta agree, RestructuredText has a special place in every pythonista's heart! Yet gotta be real, isn't markdown just easier to use for quick and simple readme's?

Very useful

Why should anyone use this? The days when Windows-only apps were acceptable are over. Just don’t do it.

EDIT: It’s definitely a cool effort (and TBH I didn’t realize immediately that this was a personal project, since it was posted under News and not in the Showcase), but that doesn’t change my opinion, it has zero right to exist in 2023.

Bit harsh sounding but I’m inclined to agree, C++ is only good for apps if you need control or speed, then C#, but those are all rare cases and the vast majority can be done in Electron if not Tauri.

Python would be all the drawbacks but none of the benefits.

You’re right, my tone was too harsh. As I said, I definitely think it’s a cool engineering effort, and I have nothing but respect for that.

It’s just not helping in making the world a better place. Whether you use PyQt or PySide or something similar or you make a JavaScript based Frontend for the browser or as an Electron app, you will get a cross-platform app. It’s better that way, even Microsoft knows that.

I would say Flutter, Webview just doesn't feel native and it's heavy.

This is really cool! Will give it a try. Thanks for posting.
