I haven't really looked into Python GUI stuff much since the old TKinter, WxPython, and Qt days (5-10 years lol). Every now and then I check if a decent table widget exists like C# has had forever, but it seems like I'm always disappointed as the ones I've found can't handle much data or don't have filtering or whatever. Has this changed yet? Eventually, I settled on a workflow with Python as a scripting language, but I avoid any UI stuff. If I need good charting, I just build Tableau or Power BI displays to consume the Python outputs that I've already pushed to a SQL database for analysis anyway as the data I'm dealing with is generally fairly large (i.e. gigabytes were generated while I wrote this reply). I certainly get the appeal of doing everything in one language and there are some efficiency gains for sure, but sometimes (especially dealing with data science folks), I feel like they'd be much better off if they could learn common unix command line tools and SQL and add that to their arsenal. They all say they know SQL, but can't do much outside of "Select * from table;" and then spend a ton of time working around local Python memory limitations, which sometimes just means using a tiny dataset that they can actually fit into memory. I got a little off topic there, but wonder if anyone else has experienced something similar? |

My current go-to python GUI solution is to use the Eel library. It renders GUIs in a web-browser like window with HTMl/CSS/JS.It lets you expose your python functions to JavaScript, so data can be easily transferred back and forth between the python and the JavaScript. And since it's just web-dev, it's pretty easy to make things look and feel good enough. Any other web-dev libraries like bootstrap and jquery can be used. It works pretty well for writing GUIs that put data analysis tools in front of my colleagues.
