I don't have a "vast" amount of GUI experience. But nevertheless I gave it a go. It took less than 5 minutes (which is good). > This will get you started: > > pip install PySimpleGUI Worked. > Then copy and paste a Recipe from the Cookbook. > > https://pysimplegui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cookbook/ I went for the simple GUI form.

I don't know if that's true, there's a lot of GUI frameworks and I certainly can't say I've tried all of them. This looks nice for simple usages, and would certainly be useful as a project on PyPI (like it is at the moment). I doubt it's mature enough for the stdlib, and I'm certain it's not stable enough (yet) for the stdlib - you'll want to make changes, add features, etc, and once it's in the stdlib that's going to be a lot harder. What's the rush? As far as things I think I'd like to see (and these are just off the top of my head, I've done nothing more than I said above): 1. More documentation - reference docs specifically. I don't see documentation of the call signature for sg.Text, for example. 2. Advanced features - how would I extend it if I have a need that it doesn't cover? For example, a canvas object or an image? 3. It doesn't seem to use native widgets (the buttons have a non-standard look on my Windows PC). Don't feel like you need to do anything about these comments - I rarely if ever use a GUI library, and I've no idea if I'd use this one in future, but if you want "focused comments" beyond "it looks neat and seems like a fine project to go onto PyPI, but I don't think it's necessarily something that should go in the stdlib", then those were what I thought of off the cuff.
