Can anyone recommend a graphic layout designer for Tkinter programs.
I have a number of older C# Windows Forms apps that need porting so
they can run on Linux and Windows and this is the chance to re-write
them in Python. However, after using the forms designer in Visual
Studio, manually coding up the widget positions etc. is a real pain in
the backside
If you want a designer, use QT, which brings the Qt Designer. Be careful
though - if you misuse them, you can end up with inflexible GUIs, where
changes in the font or display resolution can mess up your interface.
Always test that your windows act sensibly upon resizing.
Coming from Windows Forms this is especially important. Windows Forms
doesn't have a sensible geometry manager. Tkinter and PyQt / PySide both
have them, and it's quite a change at first. But in the long run it's
much more comfortable to put your controls into layouts (or pack / grid
them - tkinter) instead of placing each and every thing yourself.
