Hey Python devs! 👋
I’m excited to share PyUIkit 1.0.0, a library that brings HTML-like simplicity to Python GUIs. With PyUIkit, you can create interactive desktop apps quickly using Div-based layouts and reusable components—no messy layout code required.
Example: Create a Window
from pyuikit import Body
app = Body(width=400, height=300, bg_color='white')
app.run()
This creates a blank window with the size and background color you choose.
Example: Add Components
from pyuikit import Body, Div
from pyuikit.components import Text, Button, Input
def greet():
name = Input.get_input(id='name_input')
Text.set_text(id='greeting', new_text=f'Hello, {name}!')
app = Body(width=400, height=300, bg_color='white')
Div(
width=360,
height=250,
children=[
Text(text='Enter your name:'),
Input(placeholder='Name',id='name_input'),
Button(text='Greet',on_click=greet),
Text(text='', id='greeting')
]
)
app.run()
This shows how easy it is to create a GUI and add components—all in Python, with HTML-style simplicity.
Installation
pip install pyuikit

Welcome to DEV! Great work on building PyUIkit. Bringing HTML-like simplicity into Python GUIs is a really interesting idea. ✨
Your explanation is clear, and the examples make it easy to understand how the library works. I’ve bookmarked your post here 📌 and also starred the project on GitHub ⭐, looking forward to seeing how it grows.
Keep sharing updates, it’s always great to see new open-source tools in the Python ecosystem! 🚀🐍
Thank you so much for your kind words—I really appreciate it! I’ll do my best to keep improving this library in the future.
Glad to hear that! Keep iterating on it, the concept has real potential.
I’ll check back as you release updates. 🚀
