HowTo: Create Standalone windows in Python using PythonWin
Thanks for that wonderful short article. You describe exactly the sense I had as I started playing with Python this week.
What a great language for scripting and data processing, especially with strings, but how TF does one create a UI to go with it?
Your embedded example is the best I’ve seen so far… but it’s from 2003, and I assume Win98 or so. Could you point to a similar style update for Python 3.3 on Win7?
It amazes me that I can not type into Google “Python Win32 GUI example code” and get a “Hello World!” window ap. Everybody’s trying to sell a book.
