How is it different from https://flutter.dev/desktop

How is it not? Flutter is Flutter, DearPyGui is Python binding for ImGui.

I read the question as asking about the differences (advantages and disadvantages) of the two

I'm curious if this is comparable to some of the other Python-based GUI frameworks out there: Tkinter, PyQT, Kivy, Toga.

Oh, I love Dear Imgui -- it's very simple to use and has a nice... "engineering"/scientific aesthetic. Good to hear it's been ported to python.

If you're looking for an end-user product, this may not give you the control you're looking for. But if you're looking for a dead-simple way to create a quick GUI for a side project, this is perfect.

I can't find a clear explanation of "immediate mode" GUI creation (which this library enables) but it appears to be the sort of paradigm that pre-dated object-oriented and event-driven interaction handling that became the norm in the mid 90s (especially after the popularising of dev tools from Borland and Microsoft eg. Visual Basic etc), so I guess it is a formalisation of the procedural (?) methods from the era preceding that.

Looks neat. How easy is this to setup and use? To distribute?
