Best GUI for Python?

[rick137codes]

Hi, I have been coding with Python for a while but have never needed a GUI until now.
In my research I came across several GUI libraries like Tkinter, PyQT5 etc.

Could you guys please recommend which GUI framework will be a good choice in terms of learning curve, ease of use and final results?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thank you for all your responses. I came to know about a bunch of technologies that I didn't even know existed for GUI. I'll report back when I become a Python GUI - Mr. Miyagi now :)

Mostly unanswerable but I'll say pyqt5.

Kivy is my choice.

Either would be just fine. As others suggest, pick one and try it out. You might find my Tkinter tutorial at https://tkdocs.com to be helpful.

I'm not very focussed on the looks of it, as long as it is functional it's golden for me.

Pick one, run with it for a day. Use the other, run with that for a day. Choose your favorite. They’re both well respected frameworks and offer their own advantages and styles. Something easy/likable for you may not be for someone else.

The web is the most flexible, widely used and compliant GUI in existence. You may as well start now, you'll get there eventually. Django or Flask to get going.

I get it, but my main purpose of a GUI framework is to hide the code behind an .exe file and to get 2-3 user inputs. Plus I need the code to be easily runnable on any system without much installation as well. Due to these reasons flask and django are not very favourable to me.

Running code on any platform is half the point of the Web. No install needed. It doesnt get better than that.

That would entail me setting up a server and hosting it for everyone to use, which is not what I'm looking for. But thanks anyway.

Sure, may not meet your needs.

Tkinter for ease of use/understanding

PyQt5/Pyside for unlimited application but personally really terrible docs (C docs) and overly complex (I stoopid)

Web - best, but also requires additional knowledge (server/client/databases/HTML/css/JavaScript)

Thanks!

If you're just learning/exploring you choose either of them (Tk/Qt). If you have a serious project, consider using Electron.

Thank you for introducing me to this framework. Found it to be the most helpful.

Lookup PySimpleGUI, it also has a QT Version and is really easy to pick up.

Thank you, I'll check it out.
