<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">When I moved to python from Visual Studio, I missed a simpler way to create GUIs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">tkinter can be time consuming and fiddly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">However, I have been playing PySimpleGUI (based on tkinter) and I think for students it has great possibilities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">See <a href="https://pypi.org/project/PySimpleGUI/" id="LPlnk336424">https://pypi.org/project/PySimpleGUI/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I have been playing with some examples I created in tkinter and using this package is more easier and the use of themes is great as well. Simpler, shorter and attractive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I have attached some work I have been exploring - I hope the zip files will upload OK.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">For interest, I have included search and sort implementations in python as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Be careful with versions, this is a work in progress by the developer and things are changing regularly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
