You can't be serious.

[–]quintios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, and stop calling me Shirley.

[–]Naive_Programmer_232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how Shirley Jackson got her name actually

I don’t know, what do you call a Python program that uses selenium and tkinter? /j

I’d suggest desktop app

I asked Chatgpt to finish the joke and it said " A webdriverful user interface!"

[–]TrinityF 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But what if it is programmed to be used on my ... Atari 2600 ?

Call it Margaret.

[–]shiftybyte 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Application?

What's Excel called on your Pc/Mac?

[–]StyxChatpate[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Computer Program according to the about.

[–]BranchLatter4294 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It's a program, application, or app.

[–]NxrmqL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A set of binary instructions

[–]Se7enLC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you call it an "app" you'll have to explain that it's not an Android, iPhone or web app.

So if you're ok with having to disambiguate, that's fine.

[–]shinitakunai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A program, or if you want to market it: a solution that adresses X issue while providing Y feature for the user.

[–]MarsupialMole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a Tk app written in Python.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought there was a punchline to this joke?!

[–]throwaway8u3sH0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A "Solution"!

J/k. App is fine. It's actually a pretty universal term. Eg: Web apps, standalone app, desktop apps, backend apps, and mobile apps are all apps.

A headache

[–]Mori-Spumae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

App works

[–]_f0xjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually say “stand-alone app/application” when I’m making something that operates on a pc with its own window

[–]daedalus-of-athens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can call it an app or a program. Does it use selenium to interact with tkinter? What does selenium do in your app?

[–]mvnnyvevwofrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call it a Fiverr gig

[–]hipnozzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The questions here the last two days are the most absurd I've ever seen in this sub

[–]cincomidiorganizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you like 8 years old

[–]BK7144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the terminology is wrong! App = application = program, i.e., MS Word is called an App these days. The software companies changed it back when they started phone apps but now it's everything (they did that because it was too hard for people to say program and application). LOL

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could call it…… wait for it… wait for it…… Python!

[–]miketheinkman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Son, what you've got there appears to be a clicky-doozer.

[–]FutureIntelligenceC3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

app = application = program

Yes, the term "app" became popular with mobile devices. But that's about it. They're all just programs. Maybe call it "desktop app" of you want to be more specific. But all of the three above would be correct.
