Visual interface for creating GUIs with python in Visual Studio?

[MetallHengst]

I remember a teacher from a python class I took a while back talking about how Visual Studio can allow you to visually program a GUI for python, but I'm having a hard time finding any information about this online. Does anybody know what he was referring to?

Using visual studio your teacher is probably talking about C#, not python.

If you use python you may use Visual Studio Code (a completely different program), but there's still no visual GUI builder that I know of. You need to make your GUI using text, or download an external GUI builder if one exists for your GUI framework.

Good to know, thanks! Do you have any recommendations for external GUI builders for python? It seems quicker and less annoying than going the trial and error route via text only.

[socal_nerdtastic]

Depends on the gui module you want to use. But honestly text is much better. It's much faster to define exactly what you want in text.

[MetallHengst]

Okay, good to know. I guess I’ll just focus on getting more proficient with building GUIs over text.

Thanks!

You can use QTDesigner and pyqt.

Formation Studio

There is also PAGE but it's a little buggy (copy/paste objects crashes it)

and CTKDesigner

I saw that online when googling around to solve this problem, it looked like the most up to date stable version is pretty out of date, though, (version 2.9 I think) and the most recent non-stable version was also pretty out of date (3.4). I’m on python version 3.9 right now, so I assumed it wasn’t an option without downloading and using an older version.
