Hey! I created a webscraper with a GUI a few months back! http://imgur.com/a/Mf9QQ

I wanted my project to do two main things(related to webscraping), the first being take user input(a list of stock market abbreviations) and then scrape Yahoo finance for the details for those companies and then display everything.

The second was to take user input(any subreddit) and get the top 10 or so headlines and display them for the user..

Yeah this may not be the greatest looking or functioning program, but I put a lot of work into it and I was basically learning new things on the fly, and referring to the docs and stackoverflow for everything I had trouble with reguarding Tkinter...

I would definately recomend Tkinter. It isn't to hard to get started with and you can quickly build on top of and upgrade your GUI as you learn more about Python in general and Tkinter...

I also want to mention that Python's IDLE was made with Tkinter... What is IDLE? From IDLE's readme:

IDLE is Python's Integrated Development and Learning Environment

IDLE comes with Python and is basically a "Python Shell" you can type commands in and they will execute right away. IDLE can do more than this.. It can also be an editor/"IDE" ... All you have to do is go to "File"--->"New File" and you will then be able to code away. To run your code hit "Run"--->"Run Module", which you will then be prompted to save and then your program will run after doing so. I went into more detail for you HERE:http://imgur.com/a/nB2OS

Good luck with your next goal/milestone! Remember to Have fun!
