Recently I have taken on the task of creating an application that required a GUI. Now that is an horror story of its own for someone like me, who knows the basic of Front End development but hates it and wishes it was easier.

I have used python GUI libraries in the past, like Remi, PyQt, Tkinter, but what I always wanted was something as simple as

I WANT THIS THING HERE
THIS THING SHOWS THIS AND DOES THIS

‍

Enter Taipy, which I also recently found out that it’s a very recent library so there’s almost NOTHING about it on the internet, and it’s a great tool. That’s why I decided to write about it.

I am not going to write a tutorial on how to use it, their website has a decent documentation on how to get started. I will be documenting the difficulties and little quirks that I had to figure out about Taipy when applying it to a bigger project.
