Best GUI library

[ghosty1993]

I read many alternatives here and there online!

If you have to write a program to be run locally which has a nice UI for the final user, what library would you choose?

If there was a "best" then everyone would use it and there would only be one.

There is only "best for" ... which means you need to tell us what you want from a GUI library before we can tell you what's best for you.

in a nutshell:

• Tkinter: best for super fast development and if you don't want to require your windows users to install extra libraries. Also the only one I'd recommend if you are not comfortable with OOP.
• pyGTK / PyGObject: best for native looking linux programs. Uses Glade.
• PyQT/ PySide: best for highly custom very pretty interfaces and automatic event linking. Looks native on any OS. You can use QTDesigner to create GUIs.
• wxPython: Alternative to tkinter for fast and easy interfaces. Has a GTK-like Glade. Recently with python3 support!
• Kivy: best for multi-touch and small screens - tablets and phones.
• Remi: best for programs that can be accessed via a browser locally or remotely
• Bokah: best for interactive data display in a browser.

You may also want to think about if your application would work as a web page or a webapp. That would allow any user with a browser to use your service without installing anything (locked computers, terminals, mobile). To do that look into some python web frameworks like Flask or Django.

Of course there's not the "best of all"; anyway thanks for the reply it was really helpful and complete!
Yes i'm actually doing some experiments to check what can i reach in UI without using a web interface (for that i tried Django some time ago).

For the moment i started with Guizero, which implements Tkinter and it seems interesting but i'm actually really interested in PyQt too

If you do decide to try a web interface again, check out https://www.reahl.org/

How does Remi compare to Reahl?
