GUI in a midi python app

[rolfiepolfie]

Slowly my app is taking form, until now I have used it as a text command based only.
I tried some tools some years ago , but never got anywhere.

What tools are you guys recommending adding a "extremely" simple GUI for Python ?
I need some buttons, rolldowns, checkboxes, and the ability to drag and drop these on a surface.

Thanks!

Hey, nice to hear you're working towards you goal.

For a touch oriented GUI I absolutely love Kivy, it really clicked with me.
It is more of a framework than just a GUI toolkit though.

For more text heavy / debug interfaces I like dearpygui, you can see it in action alongside mido in my Midi Explorer project.

Otherwise, the usual suspects are good candidates I've also used in the past:

• Tk via tkinter which is Python's standard GUI
• Qt via PySide
• GTK via PyGobject
• wxwidgets via wxPython

A useful resource is the GUI Programming in Python I guess you've already stumbled upon.

Each have their pros and cons.

I don’t know which ones provide drag and drop dynamic interfaces but I'd like to know ;)

Good luck!
