Python gui application tools?

Question

What tools should be used to create GUI app in python? I imagine something similar to WinForms or WPF. It would be best if there were tools to design app visually. I think something similar to Java FX/Swing will do, too.

I tried tkinter framework, but it was impossible to use, it's very different from WinForms for example. In my app I will need canvas or something to draw few figures.

Gtk is available for python. i've only used it in c, but have seen python source which imports a glade file. glade is a screen painter for Gnu-Tool-Kit — phil

check out wxPython for GUIs. See stackoverflow.com/questions/16597110/best-canvas-for-wxpython — rich

I would recommend wxPython and wxGlade. The later includes a tutorial that should get you started with wxPython as well.

Depending on the type of drawing, matplotlib might be an option. wxGlade includes examples for this. Otherwise have a look at the link posted by wich or at the wxPython demo, whether the drawing capabilities match your requirements.

There are many GUI libraries.

PyQt is a cross-platform application framework.
wxPython
PyGTK
kivy is available on Ardroid.

I think PyQt could help you. It has GraphicsView class and you can draw something using it.
