Hi
This tkinter stuff is crazy complex for stupid stuff it seams.
Anything easier out there?

Klimapol, GUIs are generally crazy complex.

I get on well with tkinter, although i've never tried anything else really

[AmeliaR]

Klimapol, Tkinter is considered rather simple.

Klimapol, what type of gui are you making?

[Klimapol]

froomzer, its quite simple. i have a chat script that runs on the command line right now but I want to make one that has a GUI
so all i need is a big windows that has all of the input from all the users and then a small area to type your message. much like IRC but without the names list and menu and stuff

[froomzer]

Klimapol, is gtk an option?

[Klimapol]

froomzer, i don't know. i don't use gnome but i have always seen KDE run GTK stuff

[Mupolan]

Klimapol, consider pygtk and glade (or gazpacho). building a GUI with these is not only a child's play, it is fun.

[froomzer]

Well, if you don't like tkinter, there's pygtk and tepache. you make the gui in glade, run tepache on it, it gives you an easy framework to plugin your events

[AmeliaR]

Klimapol, none of them are really *simpler* than Tkinter, though, certainly not for the two-frame window you have in mind. using a GUI builder will hide part of the complexity from you, but you still need to deal with the rest.

So if i was going to do this as a stepping stone for learning what would be the recommendation? tkinter?

[jomanda]

Tkinter should be present on any system with python, that's a big plus

Klimapol, each variant has its advantages and shortcomings.
