PyWebView - Lightweight Web-Based GUI in Python

PyWebView is a Python library that allows developers to create lightweight GUI applications using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It acts as a bridge between Python and a webview window, letting you render web pages or local HTML content as a desktop app. PyWebView is ideal for developers who want to combine Python backend logic with modern web frontend interfaces without relying on full frameworks like Electron.

Installation:

pip install pywebview
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example usage:

import webview

webview.create_window("Hello PyWebView", "https://www.python.org")
webview.start()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

PyPI page: https://pypi.org/project/pywebview/
GitHub page: https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview


3 Project Ideas:

  1. Build a desktop app that renders a web dashboard for real-time data.
  2. Create a small desktop client for an existing web service.
  3. Develop a hybrid app that combines Python computation with a responsive HTML frontend.
