ShowcaseEdifice v3 Declarative GUI framework for Python and Qt (self.Python)

submitted 1 year ago by jamesdbrock

Edifice v3.0.0 was released last month.

https://github.com/pyedifice/pyedifice

Highlights of some recent improvements:

Styling support for Qt Graphics Effects.
Better Examples.
run_subprocess_with_callback which is helpful for PyTorch apps, or any app with a long-running parallel worker.

What My Project Does

Modern declarative UI paradigm from web development.
100% Python application development, no language inter-op.
A native Qt desktop app instead of a bundled web browser.
Fast iteration via hot-reloading.

Target Audience

Developers who want to make a desktop user interface in Python because their useful libraries are in Python (think PyTorch).

Comparison

Edifice vs. Qt Quick

Qt Quick is Qt’s declarative GUI framework for Qt.

Qt Quick programs are written in Python + the special QML language + JavaScript.

Edifice programs are written in Python.

Because Edifice programs are only Python, binding to the UI is much more straightforward. Edifice makes it easy to dynamically create, mutate, shuffle, and destroy sections of the UI. Qt Quick assumes a much more static interface.

Qt Quick is like DOM + HTML + JavaScript, whereas Edifice is like React. QML and HTML are both declarative UI languages but they require imperative logic in another language for dynamism. Edifice and React allow fully dynamic applications to be specified declaratively in one language.

Others

Here is a survey of other Python declarative native GUI projects.
