What might you suggest as an alternative? PySimpleGUI? Tk?

  Just a heads up: PySimpleGUI 5 isn't open source any more [0], and the official GitHub repo was replaced with a stub [1]. From the blog post, it sounds like the people behind it will probably remove the FOSS version from PyPI soon. It's possible the community will fork it with a version of PySimpleGUI 4 that's still kicking around, but I haven't seen one yet.

    Oh, this isn't good. It was one of the better options available, and the only one of those which was FOSS.

  I'm the perfect target user for something like this -- long time "scientific" programmer, who is sometimes asked to create a useful little app for a limited audience. Nothing I write will ever see the light of day as a software product. I use Tkinter. It was not hard to learn at all, and while it's not comprehensive, it gets enough stuff done. And it comes with the "vanilla" Python istall. What I did with Tkinter, starting more than a decade ago, was to create my own little "wrapper" that simplified things even further. Each of my little functions or objects incorporates what I've learned about a widget and imposes a default -- ugly but functional -- layout. That way, I never have to look it up again.
