What is PySimpleGUIWeb?

PySimpleGUIWeb enables you to run your PySimpleGUI programs in your web browser. It utilizes a package called Remi to achieve this amazing package.

Installation

Installation is quite simple:

pip install pysimpleguiweb

Should this not work, you can copy and paste the file PySimpleGUIWeb.py into your application folder.

Using PySimpleGUIWeb

There are a lot of examples in the PySimpleGUI Cookbook as well as on the GitHub site. At the moment very few will work due to the limited number of features of the 0.1.0 release. It shouldn't be too long before they'll work.

To use PySimpleGUIWeb you need to import it: import PySimpleGUIWeb as sg

From there follow the code examples in the Cookbook and the Demo Programs. The only difference in those programs is the import statement. The remainder of the code should work without modification.

Requirements

PySimpleGUIWeb is based on the Remi project. You will need to install Remi prior to running PySimpleGUIWeb:

pip install remi

You can learn more about Remi on its homepage.

PySimpleGUIWeb runs only on Python 3. Legacy Python (2.7) is not supported.

What Works

• Text Element
• Input Text Element
• Button Element
• Combobox Element
• Checkbox Element
• Listbox Element
• Spinner Element (sorta... numbers 0 to 100 only now)
• Column Element
• Window background color
• Element padding
• Read with timeout
• Read with timeout = 0

Running online using repl.it

This is something truly unique and amazing. You can run your PySimpleGUI code in a web browser on a computer, phone, tablet without having Python installed on that computer. Through the magic of repl.it and Remi you can run PySimpleGUI code anywhere you can run a browser. Not only that, but you can embed these programs into web pages. In fact, this markdown document has one of these programs embedded in it.

Here is where the iframe is inserted. You may not see the page in some instances (like on GitHub).

Here's your sample program:

<iframe height="400px" width="100%" src="https://repl.it/@PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUIWeb-Demos?lite=true" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" sandbox="allow-forms allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-modals"></iframe>
