wxPython – Cross-Platform Native GUI Toolkit for Python

wxPython is a Python library for creating native, cross-platform graphical user interfaces. It wraps the popular C++ library wxWidgets, allowing Python developers to build desktop applications that look and feel native on Windows, macOS, and Linux. wxPython is suitable for creating robust, full-featured desktop software, including forms, dialogs, menus, and custom widgets.


Installation:

pip install wxPython
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example usage:

import wx

app = wx.App(False)
frame = wx.Frame(None, wx.ID_ANY, "Hello wxPython", size=(300,200))
panel = wx.Panel(frame)
text = wx.StaticText(panel, label="Hello World!", pos=(100,50))
frame.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3 Project Ideas:

  1. Build a desktop note-taking or diary application.
  2. Create a file manager with drag-and-drop functionality.
  3. Develop a GUI for automating scripts or batch tasks.
