Welcome to Pygubu!
Pygubu is a RAD tool to enable quick and easy development of user interfaces for the Python's tkinter module.
The user interfaces designed are saved as XML files, and, by using the pygubu builder, these can be loaded by applications dynamically as needed.
Pygubu is inspired by Glade.
Installation
The latest version of pygubu requires Python >= 3.9
You can install pygubu using pip:
pip install pygubu
Usage
Since version 0.10 the project was splitted in two main modules:
- The pygubu core (this project), that load and build user interfaces defined in xml.
- The interface editor pygubu-designer, that helps you create the xml definition graphically.
The core also includes:
- A widget set: Pygubu widgets
- Themes: Pygubu bootstrap themes, a set of themes based on ttkbootstrap but implemented only with tkinter.
- And many helper classes that you can use to build your application.
Pygubu widgets:
- AccordionFrame
- AutoArrangeFrame
- CalendarFrame
- HideableFrame
- ScrolledFrame
- ColorInput
- Combobox
- Dialog
- EditableTreeview
- FilterableTreeview
- FontInput
- PathChooserInput
- PathChooserButton
- Tooltip
- Tooltipttk
- DockFrame
- DockPane
- DockWidget

Pygubu also has plugins to support working with external widget sets like:

- tkcalendar
- tkintermapview
- tkintertable
