Python apps don't need be command line only. You can create desktop software. In programmer language: graphical user interfaces (GUI)
So how do you make that? You need to use a module. There are several modules like tkinter, wxwidgets and pyqt. PyQt is a good choice.
If you know the object orientated programming concepts this is pretty easy. If not, check out the resources below.
So let's make a desktop application, but for the modern desktop
Example
The program below creates a desktop window with a button. If you click the button a popup will show (QMessageBox). Inside the class we set some window properties.
#!/usr/bin/python3
from PyQt5 import QtCore
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, name, title):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
self.w = 0
self.h = 0
self.init_ui(name, title)
def init_ui(self, name, title):
self.w = 200
self.h = 100
self.setObjectName(name)
self.setWindowTitle(title)
self.resize(self.w, self.h)
self.btn_clickme = QPushButton(self)
self.btn_clickme.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(10, 10, 100, 24))
self.btn_clickme.setObjectName('click_me')
self.btn_clickme.setText('clicky click！')
self.btn_clickme.clicked.connect(self.do_something)
def do_something(self):
QMessageBox.information(self, 'clicked', 'clicked！')
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
n = 'Hello'
t = 'Hello, Soaring!'
ex = MainWindow(n, t)
ex.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
