UI library most similar to Pythonista's
-
Hi,
I am a very amateur programmer. I have hacked together a useful app (for me at least) in Pythonista which is almost entirely basic UI elements like buttons and textfields. Very basic, but over time it became a mess. I would like improve the app and my python skills but I would prefer to do some of the experimentation and learning on my desktop computer. Then, once I've leveled up my skills, go back to Pythonista and rework my app.
I was wondering if someone could recommend a python UI toolkit (on Windows) which would be a good platform for learning that wouldn't feel completely different from the Pythonista UI library.
And to keep this question fresh & timeless, :) chatGPT suggested Kivy or PyQt. Good advice?
Thanks!
Paul

@ipaulo My memory's a bit sketchy about how Pythonista's GUI library works, but I tend to use PySimpleGUI, because it's not just cross-platform, it's cross-back-end.
I think I've tended to use the Qt version, but the WxPython thing seems familiar too...

Thanks. Before you replied, I spent an hour or so with Kivy. I decided my idea of using a different ui framework on a different platform and expecting to be less confused was madness for a beginner.
Instead, I attacked the non-UI elements of my app to simplify them and get more comfortable with classes.
I will take a look at PySimpleGui though. Hadn’t heard of that one. Thanks again.
