how you can use python to create desktop apps

Question

hello friend . happy eid for all muslims
how i can build desktop applications using python
and what is best Library in python to create apps

Answer 1

Arthur I use Kivy even for desktop. Didn't like tkinter as much since I felt that Kivy was much more straight forward when working with screens, graphics and elements. Also comes with the benefit of android support

Answer 2

Kivy is for androids and Tkinter is for pc, similar to CSS (If you know something about Css it will be good)

Answer 3

depends which one you are creating.
if you are creating GUI apps use tkinter
mobile apps kivy
web apps flask and django

if you want to convert your python script to executable file make use of pyinstaller,cx_freeze,py2exe

Answer 4

try tkinter

Answer 5

Markus Kaleton Tkinter is more professional and i Kyvi was especially made for android...

Answer 6

Markus Kaleton Think as Tkinter and Kyvi like c++ and java,

Tkinter is harder and cost more lines but it has a good "output"

Kyvi is easier and cost less lines
and dont have a "output" as good as Tkinter but have support for android

Answer 7

It might be old-fashioned, but I found wxPython simple and straight. Also, its usage is completely free even for commercial purposes.

Then use pyinstaller to pack your code into a standalone executable (no need to have python installed to run it).

Cheers.

PS: Google some python GUI comparisons (wx, Tkinter, GTK, Kivy, Qt) and choose the best suiting your purposes.

Use PyQt5. It's very easy once you get the hang of it. Then you can use the designer tool so that you don't have to manually make the whole gui.

Answer 17

Markus Kaleton Tkinter is graphically better

Answer 18

Arthur defaults on tkinter are hideous 😂
Kivy is fully customizable so i dont see how that would make any sense.

Also the quora you posted clearly states kivy being more beneficial one

Answer 19

Markus Kaleton Beneficial one because of the support

Also the quora i posted says that tkinter is good for graphically

Answer 20

Arthur only sentence in the post that has tkinter and graphics in the same sentence is "It can be used to make a complete database connected Graphical User Interface" , which you can do in kivy as well.

Have you even written any software on either of these frameworks?
