- mikewarot 6y agoI went through wxBuilder, but the problem is the same... it's a one way trip, and once you start hooking python to the generated code, you lose the ability to tweak the UI without losing work. I got around this with wxBuilder by building my own interface layer to decouple everything, but then I needed to change a list to a combo box, and everything broke. Things that take HOURS this way are a few seconds in Lazarus.
- carapace 6y agoWith Tkinter Python itself was the GUI-building IDE. (I have no idea why Tkinter isn't more popular. The TCL/Tk widgets that it wraps are boss. For example, the text editor widget comes with word wrap modes, undo/redo, tags, marks, customizable selection patterns, rich text, embedded widgets, ... it's really cool.)
