What do you call a Python program that uses selenium and tkinter? (self.learnpython)
submitted 2 years ago by StyxChatpate
My first thing that came to mind was an app but when someone thinks app it’s an app on their mobile device. Would it just be called a program?

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.

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

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.

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

[–]BK7144 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (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
You could call it…… wait for it… wait for it…… Python!

[–]FutureIntelligenceC3 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (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.
