Greetings,
Web with Python is really easy to get started with, here
is a simple endpoint with a framework called Flask
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'Hello World’
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
As for Tkinter, it's really annoying.
PyQt5 and others are a lot better.
PyQt5 follows the Cpp function namings
Kind Regards,
Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer
