TkEasyGUI 0.2.76

TkEasyGUI is simple GUI Library for Python3 with Tkinter

TkEasyGUI

TkEasyGUI is the easiest library for creating GUIs in Python.

• Python's standard UI library Tkinter, is often considered to have a high barrier to entry and to be difficult to use. By using this library, you can create GUI applications easily and intuitively.

• In the event model, it is compatible with the well-known GUI library PySimpleGUI.

• This package supports type hints, allowing property selection via code completion. Python 3.9 or later is required.

• This project adopts the lenient MIT license. This license will not change in the future. Let's enjoy creating GUI programs.

How to use - popup dialogs

Using TkEasyGUI is simple. If you only want to display a dialog, it requires just two lines of code.

import TkEasyGUI as eg
# Displays the message in a popup dialog.
eg.print("A joyful heart is good medicine.")

Ask the user for their name and display that name in the window.

import TkEasyGUI as eg
name = eg.input("What is your name?")
eg.print(f"Hello, {name}.")

How to use - widgets

To create a simple window with only labels and buttons, you would write as follows:

import TkEasyGUI as eg
# define layout
layout = [
    [eg.Text("Hello, World!")],
    [eg.Button("OK")]
]
# create a window
with eg.Window("Hello App", layout) as window:
    # event loop
    for event, values in window.event_iter():
        if event == "OK":
            eg.print("Thank you.")
            break

You can describe it using an event model similar to the famous GUI library, PySimpleGUI.

import TkEasyGUI as eg

# define layout
layout = [[eg.Text("Hello, World!")], [eg.Button("OK")]]
# create a window
window = eg.Window("Hello App", layout)
# event loop
while True:
    event, values = window.read()
    if event in ["OK", eg.WINDOW_CLOSED]:
        eg.popup("Thank you.")
        break
# close window
window.close()

About the relationship with PySimpleGUI

• When utilizing basic features, it is compatible with PySimpleGUI. You can write programs using the same event model as PySimpleGUI.
• The names of basic GUI components are also kept the same. However, while some property names differ, many unique features have been implemented.
• This project was developed with PySimpleGUI in mind, but has been implemented entirely from scratch. There are no licensing issues.
• We are not considering full compatibility with PySimpleGUI.

TkEasyGUI features:

• Using a for loop and window.event_iter() enables straightforward event processing.
• Custom popup dialogs, such as a color selection dialog (eg.popup_color), are available.
• The Image class supports not only PNG but also JPEG formats.
• Convenient event hooks and features for bulk event registration are provided - docs/custom_events.
• Methods such as Copy, Paste, and Cut are added to text boxes (Multiline/Input).
• The system's default color scheme is utilized.
