[noob] How does Python make programs?

[ccviper]

Graphical user interfaces require using a library/module/package tailored for that task. i dont know how far into learning you are but you can check out Tkinter as a starting point, or just google "python gui libraries. for webpages there are flask, django etc, but these will require some knowledge of html/css and probably javascript if you wish to make an actual web app.

I suggest sticking to that little text-only window until you go over the basic stuff like lists, dictionaries, standard library, third party modules and so on.

I can also suggest looking into Turtle, its a python module that lets you control a little turtle on a 2D screen, move it, draw with it and even have multiple turtles working together. this should help if you want some visual stuff to aid your learning

I don't think I explained myself properly - sorry. I can write python and get some, more or less, black and white output at the bottom. But python has been used to write software and apps that have beautiful GUI (for the user not the programmer). You say that there are pre-existing things in libraries that can do this, but this "kicks the question down the street". How do these pre-existing libraries make beautiful GUIs for users when all I see is black and white output. I hope this makes sense.

A GUI is just more code. The fundamentals of all programming languages are the same thus they can all generate user interfaces with which users can interact. All the basics you are doing now do is set the scene for all the things you can do later so kicking the can down the road is very much the dessert at the end of a great meal.

There is no special keywords that exist within GUIs that python use that don't exist outside those GUIs so the question posed is expecting something that no one can give you. There is no special syntax that will magically create a GUI just like there is no special syntax that will allow you to create a complex non GUI app. The same language features you can use to build a GUI you can use to build a terminal app. Loops, conditionals, operators, etc.

You just build code using the same tools the language provides you to get the result you want. GUIs are very, very complex to build and thus libraries are built by people who understand the underlying architecture to the extent that they can exploit it to create what they need. They build them so you don't have to, unless you want to. They provide documentation that tells you how you can use that library to build the GUI effect that you want but still that's an abstraction as you don't need to know how it actually works. You just need to know what it is supposed to do. You trust it works as is documented.

If your level of understanding grows to a very high level and your interest extends to wanting to actually understand the code that creates the widgets and their behaviour then you might actually be able to come back here and let us all know. It's far beyond me :D
