PySimpleGUI not related to SimpleGUI #4

Hiya

Saw your class notes on GUIs. Thought I would correct the record. PySimpleGUI and SimpleGUI have no relationship at all. I've never even looked at SimpleGUI to be honest. Maybe by chance the look similar? The only similarities I know of are the name. Thanks for including it on your short-list. If the tkinter look is too big of a turnoff, the bring-up of PySimpleGUI_Qt is going well. A tech demo will be up by the weekend.

Hi, I'm not sure why I said that. I think I was going to say spiritual successor, but SimpleGUI was not even the package I was thinking of. EasyGUI was what I was thinking of, I think. I'll rework it a bit and drop the "successor" part entirely.

Interested to see what PySimpleGUI_Qt looks like!

Nice work on PySimpleGUI by the way. I started trying to design something (that truly was a successor to EasyGUI) a few years ago, but didn't complete it or publish it. PySimpleGUI looks similar in spirit but better in design and scope. Many of these libraries just barely get started with an interesting idea (like Sandals, for example), then get abandoned.
