An example project and tutorial showing how to use Electron as the GUI layer for Python applications, communicating via zerorpc. It demonstrates an architecture where Electron spawns a Python backend process and they exchange messages over localhost.
Use cases
- build a desktop gui for a python application
- use electron as frontend for python backend
- connect python and javascript with zerorpc
- learn how to package python apps with electron
- give a python script a modern web-technology ui
When to choose
- you want a web-tech GUI for an existing Python app and need a working reference
- you need numpy or other Python-only libraries in a desktop app
- you want to learn the Electron + Python subprocess architecture
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready solution (repo unmaintained since ~2019)
- you are fine with native Python GUI toolkits like Qt or PySide
- you want a single-runtime stack without IPC complexity
