Python GUIs Examples

This repository contains 100s of GUI examples written in Python. From complete working applications to reusable widgets snippets, these examples can be freely re-used, re-mixed and tweaked to build your own Python GUI applications.

Contributions Welcome

This repo is an open collaborative collection of UI demonstrations, tutorials and examples for Python. New additions are welcome, just fork this repository, add your example code file(s) in the [library]/[type]/[folder-name] and open a pull request.

Examples are available for PyQt6 and PySide6, (many examples) along with DearPyGui, Flet, Kivy, NiceGUI, PyQt5 PySide2 Streamlit and Tkinter

Not sure which library to use? See our Which Python GUI? guide.

Many of these examples have more detailed write-ups on the Python GUIs website. See the source code for example to get links to the specific tutorials.

If you're new to creating GUI apps check out the introductory PyQt6 tutorial or PySide6 tutorial.

Demo Showcase

Some particularly neat examples of UIs build using Python are linked below. The full source code for these examples is available in this repo. In some cases there are also step by step examples of the app being built.

2. Web Browser (tabbed) - "Mozzarella Ashbadger" PyQt6 PySide6
3. Minesweeper - "Moonsweeper" PyQt6 PySide6
4. Notepad - "No2Pads" PyQt6 PySide6
5. Calculator - "Calculon" (QtDesigner) PyQt6 PySide6

15. Solitaire - "Ronery" (QGraphicsScene) PyQt6 PySide6

This is just a selection of the demos in this repo, pick a library and look under the demos/ folder.

Tutorials

Alongside the demos we also have step by step tutorial code, taken from our main site at pythonguis.com. These guide you through building GUIs with PyQt, PySide and other libraries. For example example there is a link back to the tutorial (and vice versa).

Getting started

To use each app you first need to install the requirements. In most cases the only requirements are the GUI library and occasionally requests. To install example specific requirements change to the folder of the example and run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Once the requirements are installed, you can run the app. Every example in this repo comes with a main Python file called main.py to keep things simple.

python3 main.py

The application window should appear.

Want to build your own apps?

If you think these apps are neat and want to learn more about take a look at my PyQt6 tutorial which covers everything you need to know to start building your own applications with Python.

You can also find more write-ups and tips on the same site.

Books & Courses

This repository and the Python GUIs website are both projects of Martin Fitzpatrick -- hello! I've written a number of popular books & courses on Python GUI programming, which you can find here https://www.pythonguis.com/books
