There are a number of Tkinter builders out there but none (that I've found) that work for Python 3. I don't have the time to learn Tkinter and don't use it much which is why I'm looking for a builder.

  • Why do you need to use Python 3? – Rafe Kettler Apr 17 '11 at 05:35
  • My script has been built to work in py3, now i would like to add a GUI for it – Rhys Apr 17 '11 at 05:53
  • in 2017 there at least 2 great option to generate tkinter code from a generator: we can use Page (it needs active TCL to run) or pygubu : see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14142194/is-there-a-gui-design-app-for-the-tkinter-grid-geometry – JinSnow Dec 28 '17 at 21:04

I'm new to Python and have decided to use 3.x as well. Might as well be up to speed on the future rather than the past. ;) I also spent weeks playing around with different environments that fit my needs - gui builder, support for sql. I ended up going with PyQT and Eric5 as the IDE. So far I'm pretty pleased with it.

Eric5 can be found here: http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric-download.html

Wow, pity I didn't get any useful responses. Fortunately I have discovered a solution. PyQt4 may not be Tkinter but it works just the same ... and works in python 3.x and comes with a GUI designer that is very neat. Takes a bit of research to know how to use it but well worth it

  • you may not have gotten any answers because most tk developers find tk easier to use by manually laying everything out. With a GUI builder you are limited to whatever is implemented in the UI. – Bryan Oakley Apr 21 '11 at 11:25

    PySide is a free alernative if you are interested – Carel May 21 '12 at 06:48
  • Thanks for your suggestion. Is PySide compatible with Python 3? Also cx_freeze (the only binary compiler currently compatible with py3) can compile with PyQt4. Would PySide also be compatible with cx_freeze? – Rhys May 23 '12 at 03:16
  • They seem to be distributing windows binaries for python 3.2 and other platforms here : http://qt-project.org/wiki/Category:LanguageBindings::PySide::Downloads. Their FAQ seems to say it doesn't work for Python 3, though it seems dated. I have no idea about cx_freeze – Carel May 29 '12 at 21:35

Here is an online GUI builder for Python:

www.python-gui-builder.com

It's not super-comprehensive--not all widgets are available to use. However, on the upside, it requires no software download/installation. Also, code for the GUI is generated in real-time and shown in a column on the right.

If you just need a very quick and easy GUI for Python, you can't beat it.
