simgui

simgui

A simple GUI API (wrapper around PySide6) for Python learners to build simple yet interesting event driven apps.

It provides the following features:

• Create labels, buttons, input fields and comboboxes.
• Respond to events such as button clicks and input text changes.
• Place such widgets on a grid layout easily.
• All is done using simple function calls (no need to understand classes and objects).

With these a Python learner can make GUI apps like: pacman, spade invaders, etc.

How to use

Here is a sample GUI program.

from simgui import *

def on_ready():
    add_label("l1", "Name")
    add_input("i1", right=True)
    add_label("l2", "Job Title")
    add_input("i2", right=True)
    add_combo("cb1", cols=2)
    add_combo_item("cb1", "chicken")
    add_combo_item("cb1", "beef")
    add_combo_item("cb1", "beans")
    add_button("b1", "OK")
    add_button("b2", "Cancel", right=True)

def on_click_b1():
    set_label_text("l2", 333)

def on_edited_i1():
    set_input_text("i2", get_input_value("i1")+1)

def on_index_changed_cb1():
    print(get_combo_text("cb1")+" is selected")

start()  # must do this to kick start the app with the UI
