My problem is that I have no GUI experience outside of Visual
Studio-style
drag-and-drop IDEs. Which Python GUI system would you recommend for
neophytes that would allow line drawing and a simple graphic load of a
honeycomb structure in a JPG, for example, as a background?
The two most common Python GUI frameworks are Tkinter (in the
standard library) and wxPython - an add on. Both have a canvas
widget that will cater to your requirements fairly easily.
Another approach might be to investigate pygame since it excells
at graphics. There are a couple of other options too but I suspect
a simple canvas widget is nearly all you need and Tkinter or
wxPython will both procvidfe that.
There are several tutorials (and at least 1 book) for either option.
The GUI programming topic on my tutorial will give you the very
bare bones and show an example in both frameworks for
comparison.
