I wrote an essay once that was nominally about using Pysimplegui to get folks to use your software, but is really about understanding ways to make your software accessible to people without your level of coding ability:

Might find it interesting.
- buildsjets 4y agoHey thanks, this is great. I have a simple py script I am trying to deploy to small team that does some web scraping and slicing/dicing of data from internal repositories. I had been starting to learn PyQT but it was really overkill for what I needed to do, which was a simple menu of options and input/output file selection. A lot of HN devs don't realize this truth about working in industries that have not historically been software-focused: It’s a brutal reality, but if you’re the sole person in your group who’s figured out enough to: Install Python, and use it to run command line scripts, Run Cygwin or the Linux Subsystem for Windows on your work Windows machine, Get your hands on a Linux machine/VM for writing scripts, …then you’re probably the most experienced software engineer in your group. If your coworkers aren’t software engineers, it’s a huge lift to get all of your coworkers to understand command lines, Unix systems, and virtual machines.
- cushychicken 4y agoCan't recommend PysimpleGUI highly enough for this use case. Hope it suits your needs!
- buildsjets 4y agoWorked perfect, I had it doing something on-screen in 15 minutes, had it mostly mocked up in 30, and had it polished and pretty with error handling in an hour. Will make for a good demo on Monday.
- cushychicken 4y agoH*ck yeah. Get that bread, my dude.
