[Python-ideas] A GUI for beginners and experts alike

[Mike Barnett]

So here's my alternative challenge:

Take two numbers as inputs. Add them together and display them in a third field. Whenever either input is changed, recalculate the output.

This requires proper event handling, so it's less likely to create a useless one-liner that has no bearing on real-world code.

Sure thing... post yours. I'll go ahead and post mine first.

Here's the window this code produces.

And here's the code in a more readable form since the email formatting sucks.

It's rather, uhm, simple to do....


import PySimpleGUI as gui

output = gui.Text('')

layout = [ [gui.Text('Enter 2 numbers')],
           [gui.Text('A'), gui.InputText()],
           [gui.Text('B'), gui.InputText()],
           [gui.Text('Answer = '), output],
           ]

form = gui.FlexForm('Realtime Updates', return_keyboard_events=True)
form.LayoutAndRead(layout)
while True:
    button, (a,b) = form.Read()
    try:
        answer = int(a) + int(b)
        output.Update(answer)
    except:
        pass
