PySimpleGUI info on WIKI - PySimpleGUI vs PySimpleGUIWeb #21

Closed MikeTheWatchGuy closed 4 years ago

Hello Thrilled PySimpleGUI is a part of this course.

Because PySimpleGUIWeb is still quite under development and missing a number of features, I recommend sticking with PySimpleGUI only. The great news for you is that PySimpleGUI can be run on repl.it now! This is because repl.it supports tkinter now.

So, please have your students code only using PySimpleGUI. It will run on repl.it, their desktop, on all hardware platforms including the raspberry Pi.

I really want students using the best, most stable, version of PySimpleGUI possible and the main tkinter is the best choice. It's really solid and well tested.

The PySimpleGUIWeb version isn't so much.

Thanks for the update! I'm in the middle of updating the course for next school year, and will be sure to point students to only PySimpleGUI (now that repl.it has it available). I noticed that tkinter became available on repl.it last school year about halfway through the second semester.

I had one student attempting to use the program, but with the students' lack of ability to install things on the local drive (because of school board policies), I attempted to give the student some workarounds for that limitation.

Thank you again for the update!
