PySimpleGui rocks! I discovered it when I was trying to write a front end for an emulator. Not only was I able to do so in a ridiculously small amount of code, but by changing a single line of that code I was able to make it work for other emulators as well.

To offer a correction : The Window element "margin" is not how big the UI window will be in pixels, this is "size". "margin" is literally a margin inside the window (in pixels).
Hi, can I install PySimpleGUI onto a pyboard and interact with the GUI with a touchscreen? i want to work on a project that involves creating an RC transmitter to control a RC device.
Wow - tkinter is ancient. I remember I didn't like it back in 1998. And PySide2 was 2 yeears late to Qt5 compatability compared to PyQt5. Many of the older PySide2 examples are for older Qt, and out of date. So, what is the actual advantage other than PySide2 allows you to write closed source code? Why should I use this and not keep using the more modern, more opensource friendly PyQt5?
Visiuals like Java AWT from way back, architecture like WINAPI 32 and verbosity en par with Java except no support from IDE with all those magic strings...
I thought this tut was good until i notaced that id doesn't work in py charm i did the same but it said that a list can only contain intigers and slices!
No need for mock-up software. Just use a piece of paper, draw the widgets, then write the layout definition array, just like it looks on your paper. Or use the Designer app for PySimpleGUI.
Does anyone know how to make a scrolling rect object for pygame with PySimpleGUI. This would hold all the buttons for buildings and their prices for a clicker game
I´m a Web Developer and I love how simple this gui works, but is there a possibility to make this gui look a little "nicer" more modern if you want so? Looks pretty Windows 98-ish to me
Sorry I'm late, but yes; PSG allows you to create your own "themes", and use custom designed GUI elements through global method calls that use parameters allowing the user to mess with basically any element of their window, if one wishes.
I'm new to coding. Is that "simple"??? I mean, i just saw a 15 min video of coding!! It is so difficult to create a compiles with a drag and drop to window UI? Years ago, i used Visual studio and had exactly that. You could design a windows app just by dragging and dropping buttons and styles into a window. Later by clicking them, of course you programming them to do whatever you wanted !!
Yes, all Python app deployment tools such as PyInstaller (installers or things that package a Python app into a single file) will include all the dependencies, such as this GUI library so that it easily (trivially?) installs and runs on an end-user’s machine, without the user having to know anything about Python and all the pieces.
That's true but sometimes its needed ( I mean you really need Python ), like for computer vision and plotting graphs ( as in the video ). I agree and do not agree with you at the same time.
I want to teach my self programming but I find anything but Rapid Application Development unattractive there needs to be more IDES with a visual UI designer built in. I don't find it attractive to type in the design of a UI.
I mean you understand that Python probably isn't the best for this regardless. Python's made for data science and such, other languages and IDES have options like this
Nope. Need a RAD IDE with a form designer like Visual Studio for NET or Delphi, otherwise it's just a lot of boilerplate typing instead of getting on and programming your application logic.
32 years old and still, Python does not have a GUI builder like Visual BASIC. Instead you are expected to write code to create GUI elements. Ridiculous.
I've been in IT support for 20+ years at a local college. We deploy hundreds of bit of software across the four campus buildings, thousands of installs over the years. I've never had to deploy anything to the desktop written in Perl, Python, Ruby or any other interpreted language. Why not take the time to learn a GUI interface for something someone other than yourself is actually going to use? Even Java, if you must.

You might like pyqt designer

Very concise with lots of useful examples, step by step presented. Thanks.
"Nice interface" is really a generous compliment, but... it seems to work well.
Like the girls, the easyest looks more beauty 😂
This is a great library. Just finished a GUI based interoperability project for work with this library simply but powerful.

This was very helpful!
Thank you!
I had a quick look at the docs. Doesn’t seem to use asyncio. Pity.
So what’s the name of that thing again ?
in your code you have no with " sg.Column(file_list_column), " but i do
it says its not defined

Thank you, Good Gui App.
Is there any IDE for UI, like Visual Studio for c#
What a great video, ty!
how do i put a transparent word in the text box?
Great Video …. Thank you very much
It works awesome, very easy to use!

sadly it wont work for me it just keeps popping up a error for "PySimpleGUI" line 3

Probably because if you want to profit off of an app, you need to buy a PyQt license which costs over $550 dollars.
How to make this PysimpleGUI into an App with shortcut?

how to resize the image?
Is it not jee-you-eye?
This solved my problems with tkinter thanks heaps
what mockup software you have used? I've been looking for it for a long time...
No need for mock-up software.
Just use a piece of paper, draw the widgets, then write the layout definition array, just like it looks on your paper.
Or use the Designer app for PySimpleGUI.
It might be Balsamiq Wireframes
that mockup is just a single image and he didn't show any dynamic behaviour, so he may used a free tool like pain net

why for me the image does not appear what wrong i made? can someone help me
idk i have the same issue
Nice tutorial, thanks :)
How is this compared to PyQt
how to enter current time by pressing button..pls someone help....
If only it would look like more like the respective GUI… especially on macOS, this stands out like a sore thumb.
This is why cross-platform gui tools are no good except for quick noddy ad hoc tools.
Nice, thanks!

Using qt with the designer is way simpler, and looks much nicer.
But due to Qt's license, there are a lot of situations where you wouldn't want to use Qt

Yeah would be great if they got a ui designer on board to polish up the default interface a bit.
Why they didin't develop a drag and drop controld, it will be better
What about kivy ?
it might be better, but it's easy?

why learn another syntax to achieve the same goal. we need graphics auto converted to tkinter code like Pygubu does.
so not drag and drop ? So 80's
Nice.
PySimpleGUI syntax feels a little bit less intuitive than Tkinter's, but maybe that's me being too accustomed to tkitner.
A short life savings tip for everyone:
Never use python for a GUI application it sucks
