you're ignoring the audience and the platform. The audience is people whose only computing device is the Raspberry Pi. Compiling a Qt app on most of the rpi models would take forever. The lower-end models are pretty resource constrained. Most of the rpi software is written in GTK, so it's a primer on using the desktop software toolkit that is used to make the applications that the user is using.
- vortico 7y agojononor should have recommended Gtk for Python via https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. Not sure why PyQt was suggested instead.
- jononor 7y agoI did not suggest compiling Qt apps (or doing C++). You can build Qt apps in pure Python using the libraries installed via the package manager.
