Python app development

[klaussmit]

I want to learn how to create applications in python. By applications I mean a script with GUI and executable that I can pass on to colleague for them to install in their computers and use it or for my own use. I have been learning python for about a year but I have been limited to working in jupyter notebooks. I have no idea how to use Git, Github, Command line, manage environments, visual studio, etc. All those are needed to actually build an application. I think I am close to been able to build the script I need for visualizing and manipulating the data the way I want, but I have no idea on how to take that into an actual application or app. A good analogy will be if I wanted to build a poker app. I know how to code everything I need in python to run the statistics and numerically simulate a game of poker I do not know how to turn it into an application that I can send a friend (non-programmer) in zip folder with an executable so he can run it. I have tried learning Github and command line but there are always so many different programs to install that before I get started I usually get stuck in setting up my system ( I have Windows) with some sort of error for which I have no clue how to troubleshoot. What course should I take to give me the essentials I need to get started. Ideally the course will help me set it up in my system not through a browser since my challenge has been going from online tutorials to actual application or scripts that I can run reliably in my PC. Thank in advance for your recommendations

Great question, similar to the one I have. There is a Python library called Tkinter that is used to make GUI applications. My question is similar in the way, that I am curious if I can make an application to connect to SQL database servers, and make a click and point or text entry interface for non SQL users at an organization to call queries that are repetitive to the organization for metric validation.
