Re: Beginner - GUI devlopment in Tkinter - Any IDE with drag and drop feature like Visual Studio?
You need to install PySide for GUI development. You don't need Qt Creator. When you have PySide installed there is a Qt Designer in your python installation directory. You use that for drag and drop GUI development. Search google for PySide and you'll find tutorials for that. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Beginner - GUI devlopment in Tkinter - Any IDE with drag and drop feature like Visual Studio?
There is the matter of how much time you want to put into this. There is the standard gtk library for python, and in the future, as soon as I'm well enough to focus, having recent problems, I'll be using the blender game engine to enhance my software to a 3d graphical form...to make my apps pop. So which tutorials are you willing to take time with, and which are benchmarked the best for your apps? For a 3d trig/quadrant cartesian 3d implementation for practice refresher, I used tkinter, and when using it was slow as hell. SO the question is, have you looked at the individual graphical tutorials for each, and decided on a look, a feel, and a time enhanced optimization yet? In other words, work a little bit with each to see which best fits your needs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

No, you just need the layout part of QtCreator, called QtDesigner, and any decent Python editor or IDE (e.g. Idle): http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments There's another Qt IDE that uses QtDesigner called Monkey Studio (seems to be PyQt only). Designers can be really nice for learning the toolkit widgets and layout, but I'd like to get away from them in my own projects, actually, and move to something like enaml: http://docs.enthought.com/enaml/ Do I need to install Qt? If yes, which version - 4.8 or 5.1? PySide does not support 5.x yet, according to their website. I installed the PySide windows download, and it seems to work without needing any Qt packages. Can I use cxfreeze to make exe files from the GUI developed? Probably. We use py2exe for our wxPython/numpy application. Depending on the complexity and number of external modules used by your application, bundling tools like this can require some google-fu and trial and error to get working. http://qt-project.org/wiki/Packaging_PySide_applications_on_Windows Dave Cook -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It is possible to freeze PyQt programs, yes; I've succeeded before. However, cxFreeze will grab the entire PyQt library, which is past a hundred megabytes in size, so you're going to end up with an enormous file. Do you have a setup.py appropriately configured for this? You should probably do, it's rather likely that the autodetect isn't correctly identifying dependencies. cxFreeze actually lists missing modules near the beginning of its run, try and take a look at that. Unfortunately, not every single missing module is actually missing or critical, and I can't really help you identify which one. For example, for my script, I have: Missing Modules: ? BeautifulSoup imported from lxml.html.souparser ? UserDict imported from lxml.html ? __main__imported from bdb ? _gestalt imported from platform ? _posixsubprocess imported from subprocess ? etree imported from lxml.ptclasslookup ? html5lib imported from lxml.html.html5parser ? htmlentitydefs imported from lxml.html.soupparser ? sets oimported from lxml.ElementInclude ? Ssouppraser imported from lxml.html.ElementSoup ? urllib.urlencode imported from lxml.html ? urllib.urlopen imported from lxml.html ? urllib2 imported from lxml.ElementInclude ? urlparse imported from lxml.ElementInclude ? win32api imported from platform ? win32con imported from platform But the only thing I actually need to explicitly include in my setup.py is os, lxml and gzip.

If you want something like Visual Studio, you could try IronPython: http://www.ironpython.net/tools/ For any moderatley complex cross-platform application, I would suggest moving on to wxPython, PyQt, or PySide (the latter two both based on Qt). Then try wxFormBuilder, wxGlade, or Qt Designer. Generally, I'd prefer using PyQt/PySide, because Qt has the more uniform API. I use wxPython for commercial work because it had the more liberal license at the time I started using it (PySide was not available at that time). As far as features and maturity go, I think both wx and Qt are fairly equal. Qt has become more popular for scientific work. PyGtk and Glade are another option, particularly on Linux, though I think wx or Qt still have better compatibility with Win32 or OS X. For OS X only, PyObjC and XCode are an option. While they are a tool that can save time, it's pretty easy to bump into the limitations of form designers. It's best to lower ones expectations about how much coding can be offloaded onto a form designer. http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxformbuilder/ http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/designer-manual.html http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/ I came across somewhere that eclipse's pydev plugin can be used but couldn't find anything on its website. The only form builders for Eclipse that I'm aware of are for Swing or SWT. You would need to use Jython (if you want to stick with a Python implementation) to interface with these.

I have been searching all over google but couldn't find any IDE that has drag-and-drop feature for Python GUI development. For Tkinter, no luck. The general consensus always seems to be that Tkinter and/or apps written using it tend to be simple enough to not really need that much 'help'. Being a new(er) user I kind of disagree, as I think having to 'hand code' everything for the gui library included with Python detracts somewhat from its appeal to new users in that particular area. Qt Creator is available for PyQt, which may be a better pick for you depending on what you want to do. It does have a drag-n-drop interface that is very slick, but it generates a .ui file that still needs to be translated into a python module and imported into your main 'program' file - but it takes a *lot* of the tedium out of creating a user interface more complicated than a simple dialog window.
