I wrote a small program that copies some files between directories. This
is a special utility program for a particular customer. I could compile
the program into a portable exe with cx_freeze, and the total size is
below 10MB. This customer wants to use this utility on many computers.
He wants me to display a dialog with a progress bar and possibly a label
with some messages while files are copied, and also let the user answer
a question by clicking a button instead of typing in "yes" or "no" into
the console.
So I need to create a GUI mode version of my program. That the customer
should be able to see a progress bar. What kind of GUI toolkit should I
use for this? I would like this to be lightweight, preferably under 5MB
with a very easy API for simple things like create a dialog, put some
labels and a progress bar on it, and finally close the dialog when the
program is finished. (And of course, needs to work with cx Freeze.)
I do not need a full featured cross platform GUI toolkit. What are my
options?
I have been looking at this:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming
The only Windows specific lightweight frameworks are venster and Ocean
but they have not been updated since ages. I know that I can do this
using the win32 API, but I don't really want to learn how to build a
dialog using win32 API calls and then process window message queues....
wxPython and Qt are well known but they are not exactly lightweight.
What are my best options?
Thanks,
Laszlo
