The Python course did not include GUI? how does simple GUI work?

Question

GUI for Python

Answer 1

Python runs on their server so a GUI isn't really practical. It's also why input isn't strictly interactive.

People often use TkInter since it's bundled; here's a list for others:

To tell you how it works...I'd have to post something you could try offline; but the packages at the link I kindof expect to have demo shots.

Answer 2

One of the courses on coursera.org uses CodeSkulptor as an online Python interpreter. It has an imported simplegui module inside. Check out what can be achieved there and how:

Answer 3

I took a shot at building Kivy* but my system's missing a dependency.

Here, apparently you can download Kivy Launcher, install, and then just run sample Python scripts from the second link:
https://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-android.html
https://github.com/kivy/kivy/wiki#mobiles

It looks kind to beginners, with a guide for Android deployment here:
https://kivy.org/docs/guide/android.html

* I'd have to uninstall several essential apps to install the Launcher so I hope the links help.

Answer 4

TKinter is ok, but it feels forced. if your goal is GUI applications, Try java. Python is great for utility and backend stuff. not so much front end
