This may seem like a dumb question but I have IDLE and I’m trying to develop a python application on my mac. I searched the internet for a GUI developer program and I heard about Tkinter but I’m not sure how to download it. Are there any good python gui developing programs? If so, where can I find them?
Tkinter is included with the python installed in your Mac. Rapydtk will help you out with doing the design.
There is also wxWidgets, which is a pain to use right now since its not fully ready effor a 64-bit cocoa environment. I use wxWidgets, as do a lot of other projects (scite is a great example). You can use wxglade with wxWidgets on Mac os which is decent.
You can also use qt and the associated qt libraries. Qt designer exists to help you out with doing the GUI.
If you are willing to go os x native only you can use the cocoa-objective-c bridge. Here you can use the interface builder component of Xcode. (might be abandoned though)
Also there is pyjamas which is a little bit of a different concept but you’ll still be able to make a “desktop” application. I’m not sure if there is an app to help with your GUI here though.
I’m positive there are more, but those are the big ones off the top of my head.
