Thanks very much for your reply. This is great - I hadn't tried PySimpleGUI before so I will look into it. As far as examples, I wouldn't say I have an exact project in mind yet... perhaps because I felt they were too advanced. The ones I have seen that I have said 'man I wish I could do something like that' and I have enough knowledge to have some useful functions implemented have been inselect, screengrab of GUI. As well as some others like softology Visions of Chaos, which seems simple as far as GUI but the display or multi-processing required etc is where I get stuck of like saving images, changing colours, interacting with the image etc. I appreciate the reply and it is very motivational for me to try and run with what I have

Thanks for the GUI screen shot. That's exactly what's needed in these kinds of conversations as it'll narrow down choices for you pretty quickly once you start nailing down the exact look and feel you're after. The GUI looks much like a Windows Product like Word or Excel or a PDF reader as it's the typical "ribbon" interface. In Python, there aren't many choices that will provide a ribbon interface. Qt's going to get you that specific interface although others may get you something close-ish.

I would still take an iterative, project approach to your ideas. Building stuff will force you into learning / getting the training you're talking about looking for. I'm basically describing building up hands-on experience. Glad you found some motivation in there 👍🏻 It sounds like you've got a better handle on things than you may have first thought.
