1 PYQT5

PyQt5 is implemented as a set of Python modules. It has over 620 classes and 6000 functions and methods. It is a multiplatform toolkit which runs on all major operating systems, including Unix, Windows, and Mac OS. PyQt5 is dual licensed. Developers can choose between a GPL and a commercial license

2 Tkinter

Tkinter is a Python binding to the Tk GUI toolkit. Tk is the original GUI library for the Tcl language. Tkinter is implemented as a Python wrapper around a complete Tcl interpreter embedded in the Python interpreter it is a built in module in python, when you have installed python tkinter will be
Installed by defualt

3 Wxpython
wxPython is a Python wrapper for wxWidgets (which is written in C++), a popular cross-platform GUI toolkit. Developed by Robin Dunn along with Harri Pasanen, wxPython is implemented as a Python extension module.

Principal modules in wxPython API include a core module. It consists of wxObject class, which is the base for all classes in the API. Control module contains all the widgets used in GUI application development. For example, wx.Button, wx.StaticText (analogous to a label), wx.TextCtrl (editable text control), etc.
wxPython API has GDI (Graphics Device Interface) module. It is a set of classes used for drawing on widgets. Classes like font, color, brush, etc. are a part of it. All the container window classes are defined in Windows module

4 Kivy
Kivy is an open source Python framework for creating cross-platform multi-touch mobile applications with Natural User Interface. Its speed is comparable to other native mobile alternatives like Java for Android and Objective C for iOS. Kivy is the only solution for coding in Python on mobile devices. It is also capable of running on multiple platforms like HTML5 because it does not depend on heavy browser support, and is implemented in C using Cython due to which it runs directly on the GPU. The main aim that was kept in mind while developing Kivy was to run the same code on multiple platforms.

5 PyForms
At just two years old (making it one of the more recent frameworks), Pyforms is a Python 2.7/3.x cross-environment framework for developing GUI applications. It is modular and encourages code reusability with minimal effort.
Based on PyQt, OpenGL and other libraries, it provides a quite comprehensive set of 22 controls, all based on a ControlBase object; it also includes a video player, web browser and OpenGL.

Thank you for introducing me to these frameworks. I am learning python, so I will try some of these frameworks.

Hi, can you tell us why Kivy would not be the best choice compared to others ? Your video doesn't compare anything at all, no positive points or negatives points for each GUI. You just read a brief description of each GUI and a basic example only. Thanks.

[joedempseysr.]

Please don't show text and read it to US! We can do that ourselves on a web site. YouTube is a video platform. You should have shown more complex examples of the same application using all 5 frameworks for comparison. Also, you showed no example for the last framework.
Back to the drawing board and try, try again.

[pythongui]

it's what make Python one of the most suitable (and the best for me) language: one can easily make a GUI. Just see my example....

[shapelvm]

Thank you for excellent text reading! Dis

This is just an introductory video to Python GUI Frameworks, if you want complete tutorials
you can check the video description for video tutorials thanks

[sjcsystems]

It would be far more useful in a comparison video to implement the SAME example using all 5 variants. You can code a progress bar...big deal. I had a thermometer in FoxPro 30 years ago.

[michaelortiz-it]

I use Gtk and Glade, the is very good performance

[adityapandey]

Please make a video on the best python GUI framework

[Nada-ycuo]

which one is the best (doesn't affect the speed) with a python backend

[geodatacenter]

Pyqt5 is not free for distribution for comnercial licence

[pineman]

good amount of background noise I'm proud.

[mrenrollment]

So how do they compare in use, understand-ability, speed, size, .... really no information other than they 'exist' is presented. So what.

[tkxrx]

In your examples I saw how WXPython capabilities are better then Tkinter’s. How different are the features of Tkinter and WXPython. And can it be that during creation I will be put into the possibility of tkinter? I’m going to make big project. I am from another country and English isn’t my main language I believe you will understand me.😉

[camilomartinez]

Kivy rules Jaja, nice video greatings

[larspatterson]

Thank you Parwiz for posting your videos :)

[granand]

Can we deploy and release python based applications to users who do not have python and other packages installed? If not, wouldn't python usage limited to dedicated group of experts ?

[G_a_n_d_u]

Can i use tkinter for mac and android??

[manishdpsg]

Good. I am doing python in jupyter notebook of anaconda but I want to use tkinter, plz help how could I do this?

[HenryShelton]

Decent for basis intro, but it appears that most of you guys are reading these comparisons from the same basic script or "definition" of what these particular platforms do! Perhaps a little bit more in terms of personal explanation would make things a bit more interesting.
