Every time I see something like this I think back to the glorious days of Borland Delphi with it's beautiful drag&drop GUI builder.
It kind of popped up out of nowhere, fully-formed, or at least I became aware of it when it was pretty mature. It's basically Visual Basic for Python, and worked really well. I have no idea why it wasn't more popular.

Some of Python linters enforce such style. If you enable pylint or black I think they do that by default.
black sorts alphabetically, with standard lib first, then 3rd party imports, and user/local imports last. Blocks are separated by a blank line. `from ..` imports come after `import ..`. Especially the alphabetic ordering is important in my view. Makes parsing/reading and spotting duplicates much easier. It is also PEP8 style [0]. For all these reasons, I think the pyramid style is awful in comparison. 0: https://www.…
But is it safe to go near Qt any more?
In the README, Quit is a button but doesn't appear to be consistent with the syntax of other buttons like ['Calculate']. Is there a reason for this?
Also, how do you bind buttons to functions?
Cool project, some questions. In the README, Quit is a button but doesn't appear to be consistent with the syntax of other buttons like ['Calculate']. Is there a reason for this? Also, how do you bind buttons to functions?
Binding is done using QT's signals/slots mechanism under the hood, and can be done in several ways:
- using the 'with' statement as in the example, but this is often limited
- using an events layer, that is, a replica of the GUI layout, with a callable for each widget that you want to bind.
- using the @gui.auto decorator on a function: it will try to guess.
All this is described in the tutorial: https://guietta.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html , chapter "GUI actions"
Does it support reactive data binding? Like: https://github.com/Bomberus/LayoutX

It takes many years and many people to build tools of that quality. Practically speaking it is way more easy to learn new language instead. I have no problem using Delphi and Lazarus for desktop applications. Saves me big amount of time.
The language isn't the problem, the ecosystem is :/
