Pygubu is a RAD tool for building user interfaces for Python's tkinter module, with a core library that loads XML-defined UIs and a companion graphical designer (pygubu-designer). It also ships extra widgets, ttkbootstrap-inspired themes, and plugins for external tkinter widget sets.
Use cases
- build a tkinter GUI visually with drag and drop
- design desktop app interfaces for python
- load UI layouts from XML files at runtime
- create modern-looking tkinter apps with themes
- use extra widgets like calendars and treeviews in tkinter
- rapid application development for python desktop tools
- separate UI definition from application code
When to choose
- you are building a Python desktop app with tkinter/ttk and want a visual designer
- you want UI definitions stored as XML and loaded dynamically
- you need extra widgets or modern themes on top of standard tkinter
When to avoid
- you are building web, mobile, or GPU-accelerated interfaces
- you prefer Qt, wxPython, or other GUI toolkits
- you need a fully code-first UI approach without XML files
